We're entering stormy waters... as what I've called "the Middle East status quo" might be turned upside down: Europe/Arabs vs US/Israel >>>> Europe/Israel(/Russia) vs US/Arabs Clue: Resolve a war Israel can't win William Pfaff International Herald Tribune Thursday, March 7, 2002 PARIS The peace proposal from Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is the only positive development in the Middle Eastern tragedy in more than a year, but its prospect of success is slight unless the Bush administration throws America's weight behind it, and that is unlikely. To do so would reverse present U.S. policy and take President George W. Bush into dangerous domestic political waters. However, not to do so would undermine the administration's ambition to unseat Saddam Hussein, and would provocatively worsen already tense relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia. There are powerful forces in and outside the United States blocking any serious new move to find a settlement, including elements in the Arab camp. The fixed policy of the Sharon government in Israel is to control and expand settlement of the territories under military occupation, the issue that has motivated the two intifadas. That it would accept withdrawal from the occupied territories is hardly imaginable. The Saudi proposal offers full recognition of Israel by all of the Arab governments, with normal political and trade relations, provided that Israel returns to its pre-1967 borders. It is important because the Saudis have a reasonable chance of bringing the other Arabs along, provided that the United States supports their proposal.

Bush. Gus
