The point is that other weaker states may act in their own interest, but the "hyperpower" should not be allowed to have its own foreign policy without UN approval. What bit did I miss?
You did not even miss it, because you say in another sentence that The UN works on the principle of "one state, one vote" .
You keep saying you come from the Mideast, how can you ignore the existence of these players?
I am not ignoring anything. It is just that the reality of the situation is a little than what it looks like to you from your TV screen in North America.
I don't think any kind of peace plan can be implemented until a) the Palestinians as a whole give up on the intifada as a winning strategy (...) Only then, when the neighbors have stopped pouring gasoline on the fire, can the diplomats make arrangements.
Whether or not that will ever happen is an interesting question. My understanding is that it will be quite difficult, if not impossible for Israel to impose that condition for starting "arrangements".
In any case,m, in the question I asked re your ideas for how a peace plan should be, I specifically said to look beyond all that:
By the way, I am interested in what you think a good peace plan would be like.
(Let us pass the "they control the terrorists first". Please tell us about the settlements, Jerusalem, Palestinian state, etc)
