The violence did not end. It was merely attenuated and refined. Occasional outbursts, continuous threats. If they don't like it, we will scratch the past and begin anew. Not another postponement of violence, not another invitation to violence.
Finality has to be in the agreement.

If not, it will rank with Munich, appeasement without the pretense of real peace. Comment on Charles Krauthammer's column by clicking here.
