I have been hearing about Middle East peace negotiations since I was a child. I am now 54. Every president has tried it and every president has failed. I still remember Yassar Arrafat and Menachem Begin shaking hands in front of a smiling Jimmy Carter. Same type of thing with Bill Clinton. Again failed. Now Bush trys it. It seems that Presidents have to at least try this type of thing so they can say they gave it a shot. No one can untangle the convoluted web of Middle Eastern politics. But they can leave office feeling good about themselves for trying. Middle East rhymes with No Peace.
