I agree with Bobert on the calling for a Mid East Summit which would not only include Iran, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, but also to my way of thinking all Islamic & Arab nations within the Middle East, including Israel (they too live there & should have a say in the future) Oman, Yemen, the UAE, Turkey, Pakistan Afghanistan & Palistine too. To many, you might say, they all have to live there & they all play & are playing within the same circle. I also agree with the unnamed guest above as to some of the causes & effects we've (US) have on not just Iraq but the whole area & I also agree that we need to pull out, ASAP, though 1 year may be to long. One of the more important things that's being neglected is both the US & the UK need a change in leadership & policy. Blair, Bush & their present company need to be pulled out & ASAP just isn't fast enough.
IMHO the first & foremost thing to happen is for Bush & company to go, they are the biggest road block to any steps towards peace & putting anything to rest, then & only then there can be a Summit & not before.
