hi thanks for not reading.  if had actually read the entire article you would have noticed he did not oppose the position.   the objection was to the need to solely repeat it in the g8 statement...the G8 statement now supports what was outlined by obama and does not just repeat specific parts of what he said.

Damn, i do apologize. Harper's statement was circuitous and i ended up getting the wrong message out of it (partially because i wanted to)

Sorry.

Still, a call for teh Palestinian state to be demilitarized is worrisome. Its not like their military could actually be a threat to Israel, and Israel's put up with neighbors with militaries up to this point...

what need for a military does a country of palestine have?  they may or may not even be in control of their own borders for years if palestine ever becomes a country  and israel would not likely just allow another country to invade that terroritory.  additionally an agreement would likely include pledges to support against external harm from at least a dozen countries. 

a lot of these other arab countries would probably be better off without militaries too, since they seem to be only used against their own populations or attacking israel.
