What the Palestinians should do is up to the Palestinians.  As a citizen of 
the nominally democratic US, I can be responsible (nominally) only for what 
the US does.  I can't see how blowing up Afghanistan as we are now doing  -- 
which seems no more than a cathartic activity and one that will likely 
further undermine US security -- achieves any practical benefit at all.

My general rule is, for every complex problem there is a military solution, 
and it is wrong.
