Hate to keep bringing up the Saudi Proposal (also know as the Mitchell, after Senator Mitchell) that the Bush folks felt was too close to something that Clinton might have endorsed... The elements wer there to make progress...

I have no sides in this conflict in that I have always supported both sides right to exist.

But with that said, the stronger of the two combatents holds most of the cards. This is not an earth shattering observation. Just frank reality. It's that way in all conflicts. It doesn't mean, however, that the stronger wins. Only that the stronger has more options. With that said, it is very much Isreal's move here...

And that, inspite of the way some folks around here are quick to play the anti-Isreali card, is the way it is...

Now, for the unp-teenth time. Both parties have a right to exist!!!!

No rant, just fact.
