Ok, but you aren't going to like it.
The fact is Israel's politicians have to kiss a certain amount of Bush a$$ to keep him happy. Israel doesn't want to go it alone, and if they want the Bush administration on their side, this type of statement, at least in public, is required from time to time.
It also PO's the Palistinians but the Bushies just tell them that the Israelis are dreaming, and not to worry.
Observing what the players do as opposed to what they say is a better indicator of what is actually going on.
When you give me the answers to those questions, I'll consider your opinions informed and valid.
