The trouble with the word "state" --as state that the Palestinian deserve--is that it makes everyone assume that it is a sovereign one. You can say that it has to hop on one foot--be demilitarized--but this will not hold, as most everyone will still assume that once grated statehood , it can do what it pleases. Maybe we need a new word. Unlimited self-governance, as Stage I on the road to peace?]]>
