Shimon Peres writes a Letter to the Russian President

Dear Mr. President,

My heartfelt sympathies to you and the Russian for the Moscow this week.

But we must really speak about how to deal with the atrocities and protests, including the attacks on Moscow, by these misunderstood Islamic activists.  Mister President, I have a great deal of experience in dealing successfully with terrorism and this is why I wish to come to your assistance.

The first thing you must realize is that one can only make peace with one's enemies.  With one's friends there is no need to make peace.  There is no military solution to the problems of terrorism, and this is why you must seek a diplomatic solution.  "No Justice, No Peace," as they say.  You must invite the leaders of this Islamic activist organization to the Kremlin to meet with you and perhaps tour Red Square. You must learn to feel their pain and understand their needs.  You must offer to turn a third of your territory over to them so that these stateless Moslems can have their own state.  I have no doubt the Muslim world will applaud your efforts.

You must meet the demands of the Chechen protesters in full.  In addition, you must offer them Internet web services and five-star tourist hotels in exchange for their promising to abandon violence.  After all, that is how we turned Yasser Arafat into a peace partner!  You see, military force serves no role any more.  It is passé.  It is archaic.  Today, economic interests dominate the world and the Islamist activists of the earth will surely make peace in exchange for some profits from participating in global trade.

The attacks on the Moscow metro came because you have been insufficiently sensitive in understanding the needs of Chechen Moslems. You took their fundamentalist rhetoric at face value, whereas we in Israel know that all this rhetoric is empty and in fact these people simply want peace.  Sure, Moslem fundamentalists praise Hitler and celebrate atrocities, but what is it that they really want?  You must negotiate even while under armed attack; your conditioning negotiations on an end to violence is a no-win situation.  It will simply extend the bloodshed!

You have been trying to rule over others and failed to be sensitive to The Other. You have illegal settlements that you have yet to remove from the Caucasus and the Black Sea area.  You must put your own house in order, and eliminate inequality and injustice inside Russia, and then the terrorists will no longer target you.

The key is to build a New Middle Eurasia, one in which everyone is so busy with the important matter of development tourism and investments and hi-technology that they have no time to pursue violence.  The era of war is finished.

Moreover, if you strike at the perpetrators of the Moscow unrest/protests and their supporters, you will simply extend and enlarge the cycle of violence.  Your bombs will no doubt injure some innocent children and civilians alongside any terrorist activists you strike, and that will simply enrage the rest of the world and make the victims seek revenge. Your armed attacks against these militants and activists will cause them to hate the Russians and drive the separatists to embrace terrorism.  Moreover, if you refuse to negotiate with the Chechen separatists, then their leader will be toppled and a really violent militant and fanatic will take his place.  In that case, you will have lost the window of opportunity to make peace.  Begin by declaring a unilateral ceasefire!

Mister President, blessed is the peacemaker.  Remember Tolstoy.  The entire world will support you and congratulate you if you respond to these horrific attacks by disarming Russia and opening dialogue with the terror activists.  All we are saying is give peace a chance. Yitzhak Rabin would have approved. Yes, chaver, what you need is shalom, salaam, peace. You will be cheered and awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in recognition.  Do not allow yourself to be drawn into the gutter of violence. Violence never achieves anything.  History is no lesson.  History is the dead past.

End the cycle of violence. Show restraint. Forgo the juvenile impulse to avenge.

Follow my example! Provide the Chechen bombers with anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, so that they can battle against the true radicals and fanatics. And they will do so with no ACLU or Supreme Court to restrain them.

Demonstrate your humanity by paying pensions to any widows and orphans of the terrorist who blew up the trains.

Mister President, the proof is in the pudding.  My own peace policies have eliminated war and bloodshed and terror from the Middle East.  We no longer have terrorists to deal with in the Levant, only peace partners.  If you follow in my footsteps, you can achieve the same lofty goals.

Peacefully yours,

Shimon Peres, Peacemaker-at-Large
