#1 Mr. Evans must be a BHO Democrat; he would talk to anyone. What was the name of the guy acting as a middleman between the Democrat Rep. and FARC?

#3 Punishing the Japanese in early 1941 also backfired, despite ongoing face-to-face negotiations.

Talks with Hitler, however, achieved "peace in our time". The time just didn't last very long.

#4 Just making them suffer unspeakable torment must be worth something. After all they want death as much as the Israelis want life, by their own words.

#5 Send Evans in on foot with some flowers and a copy of the Koran. He will save us all. Or be tortured, paraded on television and beheaded. Hard to say which is more likely.

#6 “Feeble protests aside, the international community has at best been a model of passivity…The absence of any international involvement has meant the absence of leverage.”

It’s truly ironic that Evan’s would suggest that “passivity” has helped cause this “failure” when that is precisely what he and his group has lobbied for. How wonderful it must be to live in 'Captain Biggles' world. To live in a world where the closest his manicured nails ever get to dirt is a non-chilled salad fork. His is a world where “rolling up your sleeves” requires one to first have his man-servant remove his Faberge cufflinks. And “Heavy lifting” simply means occasionally having to shift his mistress’ Gucci handbags for more leg room on his private jet. Yes it must be wonderful indeed. After all, a career based solely on maintaining the status-quo in world affairs must be the envy of every global elite.

#7 See, it's the "isolating" part that's the mistake. Let's try "killing" instead, what say?

#8 I know which would be more entertaining, #5 Excalibur.

Pay-per-view, anyone? ;-p

#9 If Hamas territories were properly isolated it wouldn't be a problem for long. It would cannibalise itself until no one was left. Pax.
