NETANYA, Israel: Suicide bombings in Israel have dropped off so significantly that the nation's security officials now dare to speak openly of success. But the very steps they are taking to thwart bombers appear to collide head on with the government's agenda of achieving peace with the Palestinians.
Israel also started building the West Bank security barrier in 2002, describing it as an answer to the suicide bombers. Made up mostly of fences and some sections of wall, the barrier is now about two-thirds complete. Security officials say it has proved very effective as an aid, but they do not rely on it alone.
Hmmm -- suicide bombers sneaking silently into Israel was a problem -- so they built a wall -- and now the bombings are way down. Well -- it probably wasn't the wall, right libs? We don't want to get into any "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" logic problems, do we?
It's prolly because the terrorists stopped trying -- you know -- out of the goodness of their hearts.
