The plan is Juliette's. If Jack agrees to do it - they will know not to operate. If he says he can't do it, they will operate.

That's a very good theory Mondak! That is probably the only way to ensure that if Jack does indeed agree to do the surgery, that he isn't going to kill Ben on purpose.
Also, a thought that keeps occurring to me, is that why are the Others and the Lost even fighting? I am aware this situation is analogous to many modern day conflicts, in which we are led to believe that our enemies are drastically different than ourselves, when in reality we share many of the same perspectives.
Of course at this point, the Lost have killed multiple Others, so that may throw a monkey wrench in any peace talks. But really, all we have seen the Others do in term of unprovoked violence, is that one early mole that was in anna lucia's group who broke the neck of that one irritating survivor. All the other deaths (Boone, Boone's sister, Eko, the two others that eko killed, the peace corp mole, anna lucia, the blond chick, the high school science teacher, the wife of sawyer's prison boss) have been committed by either the Lost or the Island. Though I'm sure I probably forgot some deaths, but if the Others had just been up front with the Lost many of these deaths could have been prevented. Can't we all just get along?
