#2 I wouldn't go so far as to advocate Solana actually getting shot. But I've often thought that not enough modern politicians have been properly beaten as children, and would show considerable improvment when presented with the prospect of the occasional public tar-and-feathering, pour encourager les autres.

#3 so the UN will dictate borders, disposition of Jerusalem, and the unification of WB and Gaza? Will they enforce it as well? The EU thinks too much of themselves

#5 And the Basques could be recognized as a separate state with diplomatic, trade and arms concessions. For that matter so could Northern Ireland, Scotland, Belgium, Corsica, Sardinia, Catalonia, Lapland, pissy ethnic and religious minorities, Greek shitheads, Trace, Cypress, lots of places in East Europe, even tinier fragments of the Balkans, non territorial groups like the Anarchists/Red Brigades, or that matter the islamic caliphates of Paris and Marseilles. This is just off the top of my head. This is not an area the Euros want to get into a pissing contest.

#6 OK, so here's what happens. Hamas will never accept the borders that the UN says are the borders. And then even if and or when the UN says they are, Hamas sends some rockets into Israel. That is called a declaration of war. Then Israel overruns the West Bank and sends all of the Paleo's to the Gaza Strip. And poof, they have the West Bank back because Palestine had to concede they lost the war. Again.
