Foreign Minister Livni`s strategy to use terror to convert Hamas` supporters and cadres from deeply held beliefs puts her future at risk. By refusing to be open to negotiations as indicated in the article the reliance upon violence by Livni suggests there is no policy other than agree with us or we will obliterste you. Should this incursion fail to deliver, as did Lebanon, then Livni ought to disappear dfrom political life. Guantanamo`s tortured understood that they can terrorise one but not affect a person`s mindset. Without an apparent fall back negotiating position Livni is "out there" and at the mercy of Hamas` unlikely transformation under tortourous pressure. |
