It's hard to imagine the conflict between Israel and Hamastan as anything other than a War. With an average of 2-3 missles a day being lobbed into Israel for the last two years, and consequent - albeit painfully restrained - counterresponses made by Israel, what else could one call it? Hopefully, the monies being thrown at Abbas lately will convince him and the West Bankers that there is a third way; a way that does not involve annihilation of either the Palestinian people or the state of Israel. At the very least, it should cause a permanent split between the Hasas thugs of Gaza and the more moderate Palestinians on the west bank. There's still miles to go before anything like a viable state can emerge on the west bank, if ever.
