What's amazing about all of this Nadine, is that these Arab "leaders" seem convinced that the establishment of a Palestinian state would somehow "fix" the problem. It may not even make a dent in it, but only provide a springboard for escalating to "state on state" violence.

They are all far too quick to blame the current violence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But they don't discuss the fact that its a battle of ideologies, westernization vs Islamism that is really the crux of the problem. They use the Israeli conflict as a distraction to deflect attention from their own corruption, or inability to stave off this grass roots "stealth revolution" represented by groups like the Moslem Brotherhood, Hamas, Hizbollah.. etc.

The Arabs should fear that peace actually comes between the Palestinians and Israelis. Because without the conflict, they only ones left to be blamed for the economic state of the region will be their own leadership.
