One of your best in my book. The idea is righteous and simple, the implementation is not so simple. It would have to be a step at a time because as we know nothing will stop this in one fell swoop. But my personal opinion, the thing that has to change for these atrocities to end would be the end to ideologies that insist on a tit for a tat, an eye for an eye, equal measure for equal measure. Some side has to decide to stop the madness in its tracks and wait... wait... make a plan and a plea.. while protecting themselves but with no counter measure. It's a long shot because of the damage done so far on both sides and because ideologies don't just lay down and die.
But if there is a chance, this is it. Otherwise... round and round...
What must die are the faulty systems and the hearts of revenge. There is no military/political solution.
Good post Manny..
