Darryl and Cary, Zbig actually is quite good. HIs joint appearances with kissinger are classic. The balance approach in the mideast is one which i have supported. After the 1967 war, the settlement policy, originally designed to scare the jordanians/palestinians to the negotiating table, became a cancer for israel. First for the right wing it became the beginning of the "Greater Israel" concept and then even for the moderates it became a fact of life on the ground that now is one of the many intractible problems in the area. Remember it was carter/zbig/begin/sadat who made peace. If the Palestinians had foresight the settlements could have been dealt with then. That was the goal of US policy then and now. If there is to be a deal Gaza settlements are gone and many west bank settlements fall within the arab state. A binding peace treaty with all parties in the area including palestine, syria, saudi arabia with full diplomatic recognition and guaranteed by the US is worth it imo. I am jewish but i am not a zionist and as an american must put US global interests first. As a Jew i dont want to see israel go down the road as an occupying colonial power. Take the enforceable, verifyable deal with recognition now and deal with reality. My words for the palestinians would be more harsh for since 1967 they have had many chances to peacefully regain all the land thru recognition of israel and peace. Better late than never. And there should be no misunderstanding. If one day the israelis are overrun by arabs of whatever stripe, the arabs will be nuked and the world will be plunged into darkness. Sorry for the rant but knee jerk anti carter gets me going. By the way i thought for other reasons that carter was the worse president we had in my lifetime and i go back to FDR. I would make JImmy one of the 10 worse of all time. His only saving grace is the mideast peace between egypt and israel. Otherwise i would have him in a tie with Millard Fillmore for last place. mike
