But it would require a regime change, which the Pals, like all the Arabs, seem unable to do on their own, ever.

I agree with that. But it also require the will of the US. If only Bush had 10% of his commitment to build a democratic Iraq, to solve the Israelian-Palestinan conflict it would be a peace of cake.

I don't want to take side in this conflict. But I can understand that the Palestinians are frustrated to the bone, and I also understand the arrogance of the Israelis to do whatever they like, because the US will back them unconditionally.

I can also understand that no single Arab believes Bush when he speak about his commitment to solve this problem.

This is going on for so long, frustration has been building up for decades. If Bush want to win the hearts and minds in the Arab world, solving this conflict is by far the most effective way of doing this.

The problem is that the Palestinians have no oil.
