The view among most Israelis is that the weaker the closure the more likely it is that one of those guys will come in with a belt of explosives strapped around him. And there have been so many attacks recently that it's hard to fault that logic. The one on Friday got all the headlines, but there were half a dozen car bombs within Israel last week that were defused or didn't go off. And there...
