"I think he has a self-serving agenda.."

Well, let's review his self-serving agenda 'strategy': The Israeli and Bush-controlled (and presumably future) US govts. despise him. You hate him. Jonathan Demme made a movie about him that got pretty mixed reviews and the right wing pundits seem to think Bill Clinton was a frickin' saint compared to Jimmy Carter.

Not sure his business plan is going according to schedule.

But he is coloring outside the lines on what is perhaps the world's longest-lasting and stickiest impasse and at least he's fucking trying something besides repression and ultimatums and the never- ending 'eye for an eye' cycle.

The decades long, on again, off again, peace talks- punctuated by spasms of violence killing unarmed civilians on both sides are clearly not making progress. What's wrong with coming at it from another angle?

And no, I didn't think you really wanted me to die. I was riffing off another unfortunate thread, and no I'm not terribly sensitive. I've been flamed by the best DBIS has to offer.... the Charlton Heston Clique.
