What's funny is that Bush will probably end up brokering a lasting peace agreement in the Middle East. Sort of like Nixon opening up China or Reagan negotiating nuclear weapons reductions. The guy's made a career out of being "misunderestimated."
actually, the Bush administration may succeed, and here's why:
Olmert is profoundly worried about ethnic purity in Israel. he's finally said so, in public. in other words, he said, if they don't get a two-state solution done soon, it will spell "the end of the State of Israel":
makes sense; if you're aiming for a racially or ethnically "pure" state, you need to get those pesky demographic problems solved by putting the "others" over there in their own geographic area.
i'm trying to remember where i've heard that model before. somewhere in Europe...

I'm glad Bill Clinton achieved peace in the Middle East, thanks to Bill Richardson and Sandy Berger, no doubt.
Or was that just an orgasm in the West Wing (piece in the Middle Monica)? I get them confused.
