Powell's Mission Talking to both sides is one of many essential steps April 12, 2002 The Detroit Free Press / Editorial Secretary of State Colin Powell got it right Thursday when he said the Middle East conflict can be solved only through negotiations, not escalating warfare. So despite pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and some U.S. political leaders, Powell has to meet with Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat this weekend. It's impossible to forge peace between two warring factions without talking to leaders of both sides. Powell also needs to show a skeptical world that the United States can be an honest broker, not merely an advocate for Israel, in negotiating a cease-fire and a path to peace. His credibility will be eroded if the United States tries to dictate who should represent the Palestinians at the negotiating table. Powell's greatest challenge will be to persuade these irate commanders to rein in their warriors and allow a cease-fire to take root. Sharon must immediately withdraw troops from the West Bank and Arafat needs to condemn -- in English and Arabic -- the suicide bombings. Only then can separate states be established, with a buffer between them protected by international peacekeepers, who should be fortified by U.S. monitors. The United States has much at stake in resolving this festering crisis. For the Bush administration to achieve any lasting success in the war on terrorism, it needs the cooperation of Arab and European leaders. Neither side has shown much confidence in the U.S. approach to date. Still, the United States is the one nation that can help the Palestinians and Israelis find a face-saving way out of this violent quagmire. Only then will the Bush administration be able to turn its full attention back to leading the worldwide coalition against terrorism. freep.com
