Is there confusion about the attack on the Israeli bus? There should not be.

This attack is consistent across Islam. We still witness it in Iraq where a central government doesn't mean much to their personal revenge. It is part of the culture of violence within Islam that has replaced the Muslim faith.

The 'sects of faith' that has replaced the Muslim faith do not give governments validity. It is more difficult to have the people within Islam come to the government to solve their problems when those governments are corrupt as we witnessed when returning focus to Afghanistan.

The focus to stop these attacks is nearly impossible when conducting negotiations. There is no way the USA is going to recognize terrorists as a legitimate authority because it literally undermines the very negotiations. It is the sovereign authority of the countries involved that have to handle the violence. The problem has been the same for a long time, it is the violence.

The violence makes leaders hapless in their ability to control the peace within their country and enforceable in treaties. One of the most stark examples of this haplessness was Musharraf. Heck, he was nearly blown up twice crossing the same bridge inside Pakistan.

So the violence of terror groups is a real commodity that compromises country's leadership while providing autonomous economies, like the Afghanistan poppy economy or the USA drug economy. These economies accommodate violence and power through money. These acts of violence have to be contained by sovereign authorities.

Secretary Clinton has her hands full. She has to be able to negotiate a treaty between all the parties involved while making the enforcement measurable. It won't do anyone any good if the day after the signing of a treaty or peace agreement Israel continues to receive violence and returns to a defensive posture. The agreements have to be enforceable. Literally, the sovereign authority have to return their 'sects' to a civilized content and focus on their future and not revenge over the past. It is why it is taking so long. All are hopeful President Morsy can open new dimensions in peace to bring about sincere treaties between all the nations involved. Time will tell.
