    I have long beleved that the root of Mideast trouble is in the miserable living conditions of the Paleatinians in the West Bamk, the Gaza Strip and the refugee camps. People with such faint propspects of a better life must be prime resruits for terrorist leaders. Western leaders sem to have forgotten the 1967 U.N. Security Council Resolution which called for a secure israel within its pre-war borders. On several occasions Arab leaders have sid they were willing to recognize Israel and promise peace under the condit ions of the UN Resolutions. John Burtom
