Re: Peace is the only Way.
Minime and Akif, point taken. I understand that both Hamas and Hezbollah have become a political entities that cannot be ignored. Maybe I should have said that lets hope that Israelis and various mulsim groups in the region do not squander this opportunity.
Akif, what you say about previous cease fire is true, however, we must give thsi ceasefire some time before the Israelis feel comfortable enough to announce the same. They have announced release of 900 prisoners and withdrawl from 4 or 5 cities (check the numbers). This is a positive step.
US is pledging $350 mill for infrastructure and poliycial reform, its not much, but its more than any other Islamic nation is willing to pony up to better the lives of their fellow brethern in need.
In my opinion both sides (Pal and Israel) know that peace is the only way. They cannot exist without peace. They must stop the bloodshed and move towards peace. If our beloved Prophet :saw: could forgive Abu Jahil, why cannot we do the same?
