Thomas Friedman is doing a 5 part series on WWIII. Here is the first part.

He makes a great point: "The cold war ended the way it did because at some bedrock level we and the Soviets "agreed on what is shameful.""

For this war to end, suicide bombing and hatred must become shameful in the Arab world. Sounds a lot tougher than finding Saddam.

Part II. Part III. Part IV.

Part IV seems to me particularly important. Israel should should stop provoking the Arabs...it won't end Arab hatred, but make it less legitimate.
