Towards a new world peace

["Harry Veeder" <eo200@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an idea for bringing about peace.
What if the US offered some its own soil to the
Palestinian people? I am thinking of the land at the WTC site.
Legally, economically and politically such a situation would be
comparable to the operation of Vatican city in Rome and Italy.
