Bush is the first president to state he wants a viable Palestinian state. His theory was if the US got Iraq out of the picture Israel would be feel less threatened and then all sides could talk. He also figured Palestinians would support his path for their statehood. However, the Arab and Islamic extremists are still in control and their public are following. They seem to be wanting all or nothing and have rejected Bush's proposal. So now I am beginning to think Bush needs to change approaches. Saddam is setting up a stalemate: 1. Turkey restricts Kurd involement so the Afgan model won't work yet. 2. US won't include Iran in the plan to help in the South. 3. Saddam seems to be surviving bombing and may be blowing up civilians for propaganda uses. I noticed on the BBC that many reporters have been kept from the site. 4. Saddam will hold cities hostage. 5. Suicide bombers will demoralize the US public. Next post: let's switch strategies please.
