Dr. Rice is talking like a basketball coach watching the clock tick away with her team down in the championship game and realizing that with every day of 2008 sliding by, the chance of making a comeback is increasingly unlikely. Then again, maybe these statements are yet another example of the Bush Administration's arabian "end run", not meaning for any true, permanent, resolution to the conflict between the arabians and Israel, just attempting to finish the game in good form. more

Has Egypt given up it's claim to the Gaza Strip? Or Syria to the Golan Heights? There's no counter to the ‘views of extremists’ because those views are treated as being valid. They should be mocked for what they are. Those who live in the territories that Israel took under the flag of defending themselves from aggression should a) end the fantasies that they're going to move into Israel, b) look to build their own nation, if that's their goal, and stop being envious of everyone else. But that takes work - it's so much easier to hate those who do something good for themselves.

It won’t happen. It can’t happen. Here is an illustration of the possibilities in a government-run educational system.

young Palestinians are losing hope for an agreement with Israel.

That's because they never had a "hope" of making peace with Israel--they want to destroy Israel.

Mr. Bush and Ms. Rice need to stay the he$$ out of Israel’s business and let them sort out things for themselves. God is not pleased.
