SAME OLD "SUMMIT MENTALITY"?

Flashy summit meetings are no substitute for a robust peace process.

Think about it.

THE BENEFIT OF SECOND CHAIR?


Could the lack of attention on Palestine help foster compromise, as the regions participants have full attention on Iraq, the Afghan re-meltdown, and the emergence of sizable instability in Pakistan (and now Lebanon)?

It could be. Hamas, I'd guess, has very little widespread support and what is left of the PNA ... is more motivated than ever to find a way around, so to speak.

Of course, it could be the neither the Hammas nor the Iranians spoiling things. It may well end up Syria this time, with the Golan.
