    Get this point thru your skull: the Golan Heights BELONGS TO SYRIA. So it really does not matter how much better it would be for Israel **IF** the Golan belonged to her. And it really does not matter how much better it is for the IDF to have its Merkava tanks there. It. Ain't. Yours. And. Therefore. You. Can't. Keep. It. You can use it as a bargaining chip in the negotiations. Fine. You can try and drive a hard bargain for withdrawing from it. Go ahead. But stop pretending that it is yours merely because you want it, or because you insist that you must have it. Wishes ain't horses...
