"Pre-1967 borders"

TB — 1/5/2009 5:53:42 AM (archived)

A common mantra among the terminally naive is that if Israel just withdrew to the pre-1967 borders, everyone would be satisfied.

There's just one problem with that thought.

Before 1967, Israel WAS within those borders, and the response from the Arab world was another attempted war of extermination.
