Bush: Palestinian state within reach
2005-02-04
US President George Bush has painted a promising future for the Middle East, saying that a Palestinian state was now within reach.
Hamas and Hezbollah aren't going to let it happen. We had that story yesterday, even though we guessed before we saw it.
Delivering his annual State of the Union address, Bush also said the elections in Iraq marked a "new phase" in US efforts to train Iraqi security forces and that both liberty and democracy were on the march in the region. "The goal of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace is within reach - and America will help them achieve that goal," Bush told the joint session of the US Congress and a televised audience of millions. With an eye on his place in history, Bush said spreading democratic reforms in the Middle East would help defeat "terrorists like those behind the September 11, 2001 attacks".

#1  Abbas and the Paleo people will have to take on a serious bunch of nutcase hardcases. I do not think that they will do it. To use banker's lingo, the Paleos are a poor risk. When the nutcases move in among the Paleos, they will start rocket attacks and Israel will have to do the equivalent of counterbattery fire and make killing zones, which is JUST what Hamas and Hizb'Allah want to happen.
