Pete- I understand Todd is using RoP to refer to those practicing Islam. Just wanted him to nail it down a little bit. Muslims in general? MB? Al Qaeda? Egyptians? Palestinians? "Religion of Peace" is pretty blanket--in the same vein as phrases like "The American People."

Your points about the borders and dissolution of a long standing treaty are well taken. However, as you say, the peace has been kept "in a fashion." I am suggesting only that we consider new strategies/solutions and not simply repeat what has already been tried. ("We" meaning whoever is making the applicable foreign policy decisions at that moment)
