What it says is that they are disappointed and angry, being enlightened or better educated or well travelled doesn't stop that from happening. It is even more frustrating for people who value open dialogue and building bridges because there is also the humiliation of countrymen accusing them of being foolish or naive when things go wrong. Left wingers on the Israeli side know the feeling well. Listen to all of the right wingers with their "I told you so's" regarding the build up of Hizbollah. If you listen real closely you'll hear them blame the current crisis on the left, for "trusting" the Lebanese, for pulling out of Lebanon; many reserve their strongest vitriol for the left. I'm sure you hear the same kind of thing on your side of the fence. And if not peace, then to want what? Endless war? Endless violence? Endless bloodshed? We've all seen that too, and normal people are sick of it. The only people who benefit are groups such as Hizbollah who actually need the hate and the media who need something to sell their papers and to give their talking heads something to do.
