| RE: .1
I can read and whatch TV pretty well. I've never lived in Israel,
though, and I'm not Jew. Still I also have a brain and from time
to time I even use it.
I might be overly naive, but since
1) this is not a restricted notes file
2) I buy into the notion that this is a open resource available
to DIGITAL employees in and out of US of A,
3) I happen to be a DIGITAL employee myself
4) I fail to see how my 4 lines note could step on anybody's feet,
enlighten me if you feel that is the case
therefore, I felt I could well enter my thoughts.
Now, the big news, *YOU* do not *HAVE* to agree with me.
Ciao

| men in particular can learn from a man like yitzhak rabin.
a formidable soldier and leader with the courage to realise that military
power - however great - is not a sufficient guarantee for peace.
we've learned this same lesson in europe some forty years ago, starting
with the treaties of rome, which laid the foundation to peaceful coexistance
in western europe.
i hope that peace will soon be reality in the middle east too and that
rabin's courage was not in vain.

| funny thing, I was wondering just how great the guy was. I mean, his
name has always been associated with bad guys with guns. I just can not
swallow the bull like I used to. I want to know why this guy was so
great. So all you enlightened middle-east scholars, please inform us
why the man was such a warm, friendly, all around great guy.

| He was great because he recognized that old policies of belligerence
-- policies that he helped create -- would not, in the long run, work.
So he began the process of changing those policies. Because he had a
reputation of military prowess, and utter integrity, he was able to
convince skeptical Israelis (at least some of them) that his earlier
point of view was no longer tenable, and that peace was possible.
This most hawkish of hawks became a dove. His fellows citizens saw
that if he could change, perhaps they could, too. Not everyone agreed
with him -- some vehemently, fanatically, vitriolicly -- he died as a
result.
