There's far more to it than Palestine screwing it up, Offy. All
sentimentality aside for the beleaguered state of Israel, but the Palestinians were displaced from the homelands. They've been sitting down and talking and signing accords for years, but the crux of the matter is that Palestinians want to return to their homeland but do not wish to be ruled by Israel (the Palestinians are predominantly Muslim). And you're wrong about Rice. She hasn't been over there a hundred times. She's only been Sec. of State for three years. Make it maybe a dozen times. You can't count her visits to any of the other Middle Eastern countries (unless she was there specifically to talk about Palestine, which she was not). The Palestinian issue has been sidebarred by the conflict in Iraq. Bush and Rice neither want to leave office without something good being said about them in the history books. This is their one shot at it. Don't look for anything to come of it with only a year to work on it. You're looking at peoples with decades of animosity built up between them...

Whatever...the important thing is NOT who started it, but that it is finally started. Connie Rice has been over there a hundred times during his adminstration so saying he just now got interested in the process is a bit of an exaggeration....Palestine has been dragging their feet in this process and I bet the screw it up again before it's over..
