| I agree with Carter!
The only way peace can be brokered is if you talk to the real ones in charged, Hamas. I believe both sides are sick and tired of war. The Palestinian people have hopes and dreams for their children just like anyone other people. Every interview you see with the parents of a suicide bomber, they might not condemn his action (rather they usually show their sympathy), but they always say they would have stopped him/her if they knew and they wish he/she didn't do it. I do believe both countries want peace.
However, Peace will never be had talking to Abass. I think Abass has good intention, but he has no real power. Peace will only be brokered with Hamas. It is not unheard of 2 vicious enemies brokering peace. In fact its usually the soldiers that fight the war, the ones with blood on their hands, that broker that lasting Peace.
Much in I agree with Carter's efforts. I applaud Obama's pledge to unconditionally talk to Iran and Venezuela. I never understand the pledge to never talk to a country. Dialog may amount to nothing, but it can also amount to something, why no dialog always leads to greater drifting between countries. It can't hurt no matter what a politician will lead you to think. What damage did the ineffective Pelosi trip to Syria do! Absolutely no damage. I honestly wish Bush would meet with
Assssad, Alamnutjob, Hugo Fat A$$, Hamaaaasssss-hole leadership in Gaza etc. The policies of ignoring countries is not only arrogant and childish, but stupid! |
