I was going to stay out of this morass but, let's face it, there is an outside threat---I believe Syria, Hamas, and Iran are serious. Does Israel have internal problems---sure.

All the more reason for Netanyahu to be flexible and for people (all people) respect the fact that Obama is practicing diplomacy. Something that has not been in done in quite a few years--well at least 8.

It is also good to recall that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton did make some progress but much of it torpedoed by Arafat and now his group has lost much credulity with their own people who seem to favor Hamas. Hamas, I believe, we all realize is set on the destruction of Israel---a 2 state solution is not something they want. Should their efforts prevail you can find another rogue state in the are while now we have 2 allies (perhaps 3) there who trust in a democratic governance.

As to Carol C. What can I say. It is always the same story and, frankly, how much time is wasted in these diatribes that would be highly paid if she had a contact at Fox or some other openminded netweork or paper.
