This divide reflects the paralyzing split in his administration between those who understand that America will never win the war of ideas in the Middle East without working seriously on the most emotional issue in Arab political life - the Palestine question - and those, like the vice president and secretary of defense, who think the whole issue is overrated. The first group are right, the second are wrong Okay, Tom, let's suppose that by some miracle a Palestinian governing board arises that is not an utter farce, and your side arm-twists Israel into signing some sort of deal. Let's suppose the deal looks just like Taba, your favorite. Then I think you will find that the Arabs switch in an instant from obsessing about the "occupation" to obsessing about "the shame! the eternal shame!" of having been coerced into taking this humiliating deal that forces them to announce that an integral part of Muslim Arab land actually belongs to the (shudder) Jews. Well, what are you going to say then, Tom? "Oops"? I doubt it. After all, you never said "oops" for Oslo. There is only one way to satisfy the "emotions" of the Arabs, Tom. Destroy Israel.
