Jerusalem

Could Jerusalem flourish as an independent city-state? It seems that town is quite the sticking point. I don't think it would be like the Vatican because that would require some theocratic head of state.

I've pondered the benefits of its independence for years. Jon Stewart brought it up recently during some interview (yeah, I'm too lazy to put in a hyperlink here--Google it yourself).

I'm not sure it would happen, but I'd like to think every sticking point is negotiable. (Bill Clinton, you were so damn close. Yes, we can/should blame Arafat.) UN? Got cajones?

Details, geez... i don't feel like writing more right now. But if you take me on I'll either defend myself or concede.
