they want them demilitarized because otherwise they would spend all day fighting each other, its not some kind of grand conspiracy. these people hate the fuck out of each other.
the bottom line is a month ago there was no hope for a palastinian state. now there is. you can take the pessimistic view that this is not progress or you can take the optimistic view and see that a landmark decision has been made which might set the course for actual peace and stabilization in that region. not that this decision will directly do any good, but the decisions that come after it WILL. like you said, baby steps. thats how actual progress is made in real life, whether its one person taking baby steps to learn a new skill or an entire nation taking baby steps towards peace. you gotta take it one small step at a time.
