Rice urges revival of "Roadmap".
I've got an idea. When Israel has a responsible party with whom to negotiate, then, and only then, does Israel begin negotiations.
The good people of the Palestinian territories have elected, successively, two terrorist organizations to head their "government".
They've made their bed. Let them sleep in it.
I would be ever so much more sympathetic to the cause of the Palestinians if so many of them weren't insistent upon slaughtering women and children. As it is now, I find it impossible to take them or their cause seriously.
Maybe that's just me.
And the good Mr. Abbas has rejected any idea of temporary borders. Because, don't you know (pronounced doon'cha'knoow), that demanding and not receiving a loaf is so much better than a half loaf. If they were to receive the loaf, or even half, they'd have to go about the business of being responsible and setting up a functional society. It pays ever so much better to be a permanent revolutionary. All you have to do is spout meaningless slogans, send children to their deaths, and then decry the fact that your opponent insists on existing: and like magic, other irresponsible parties, with too much money and a desire to be revolutionaries themselves, send money for the cause, where you can then take a carrying fee. End result, nothing of substance is achieved, and you manage to shake down idiots and have other idiots hero worship you. It is quite the racket.
