NOVEMBER end - DECEMBER 2003 : (GENEVA, SWITZERLAND : "GENEVA PEACE FEST" TALKS ON MIDEAST PEACE-- See RICHARD REYFUSS & JIMMY CARTER- [Did BIDEN visit here, too?) A familiar roster of revered retirees, unemployables and butt-of-the-joke losers - plus an Oscar-winner who undisputedly did not deserve that honor - gathered in Geneva this week to talk to themselves. The subject of the confab was Mideast peace. Easy to get. Easy to keep. Golly, why didn't someone think of this before? So what if generations of politicians, diplomats and religious leaders have tried and failed to broker a permanent end to hostilities?
You know the planet is in capable hands when the master of ceremonies of foreign relations, lured from semi-retirement to star in the Geneva Peace Fest, is none other than Richard Dreyfuss - the hack who beat Richard Burton as best actor for his role in 1977's "The Goodbye Girl," before graduating to play Scoop the Snowman in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys."
Dreyfuss was joined in Geneva by ex-President Jimmy Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who these days also suffers from a serious excess of free time.
...But it was Carter, who's hidden his sharp teeth behind an aw-shucks smirk for far more years than he allowed American hostages to be held captive in Iran, who gave voice to the true message behind the so-called "Geneva Initiative."
Carter put the blame for Mideast terrorism - and that would include attacks such as those on the World Trade Center and Pentagon - not on the shoulders of the Islamofascists. He unequivocally blamed President Bush.
"The present administration in Washington has been invariably supportive of Israel, and the well-being of the Palestinian people has been ignored or relegated to secondary importance," Carter declared. "Without a resurrection of strong and unbiased American influence, Israeli and Palestinian extremists will prevail.
"There is no doubt that the lack of real effort to resolve the Palestinian issue is a primary source of anti-American sentiment through the Middle East and a major incentive for terrorist activity."
Carter, who failed at achieving peace, joins the Hollywood chorus that looks the other way at Islamic atrocities, while advancing the fiction that selling out Israel will stop the carnage. And now he has an audience.
