Brilliant, yes. But it does not address the issue of our security and the democratization, education and enlightenment of those in the entire region. Not likely they'll respect us (or like us) through any means other than force (which is all they seem to understand). Seems to me that the vast majority in the region want to push Israel into the sea and are committed to the death of America and the west. Doesn't sound to me like appeasement is the ticket.
