| Condi's Fatal Error |
| 2007-11-01 |
| The problem with peacemakers that their errors are not fatal for them. There has been, for some time, more than ample reason to question the judgment of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice with regard to her attempts to "foster" a final peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. These attempts lead us now towards the dubious possibility of a conference in Annapolis. Word has it that the conference was her brainchild, although it was originally announced by the US President. In fact, she seems to be supplying the steam behind this entire effort. Rice's statements frequently have an "otherworldly" tone to them. She speaks about the window of opportunity open to us now, insisting that the establishment of a Palestinian state will bring peace to the area. As half of the projected Palestinian state is run by Hamas, and Mahmoud Abbas - who has his own terrorist connections - has never been weaker, one is forced to ponder exactly what she is thinking. It is eminently clear that she has no grasp of the Arab mentality. Reports have surfaced recently describing her comparison, in private conversation, between the plight of the Palestinians and the fight for equality of African Americans in the US; she is said to have compared Mahmoud Abbas to Martin Luther King, Jr. |
