He is not making any headway: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080421/ap_on_re_mi_ea/syria_hamas_israel

and, although seemingly well intentioned, I think he has a self-serving agenda.  There is no solution to this problem, because Hamas does not recognize Israel and has demanded that Israel return to pre 1967 borders, which is not a negotiable item, and Hamas knows that.  So...there is no dialogue which can result from his "help" with this matter. 

BTW...I never insinuated that you need to die, Ed.   Nor has anybody else on this board, I don't think. Stop being so sensitive. The mood here from time to time is really no different than it has been over the years, I've found.
