In The Mideast, Giving Peace (Another) Chance

It is a very wise move to move this peace process small steps at a time. Ease into peace as opposed to sudden change. Sudden change causes chaos. ie. assasination of Rabin in 1994 and Sharon's visit to the temple mount were events that have fueled divisivness. Whether this peace plan works or not we must continue to try and solve problems. Governments must encourage citizens of all backgrounds to get involved with organizations in their countries that develop policies that provide solutions. An enviornment must be created where social and economic reform in the Middle East can take place. I really think that all governments; Arab; Jewish, American, European, African should each have civilian committees that comprise of everyday people and religious leaders. These men and women will negotiate with their peers from other countries and share with eachother solutions to improve everyday life for themselves and their families. Could you Imagine a Palestinian doctor conversing with a Jewish doctor, a Palestinians religious leader discussing economics with a Jewish religious leader. Or a Palestinians woman discussing issues with a Jewish women. After meeting with eachother these committees of peace comprised of everyday people report to their governments and provide suggestions to ease gridlock. I really think that the more people that get involved in this process the better chance we have to achieve peace. Let's give our President some support now, he is trying. We must never let the forces of evil and divisivness stop the peace process.

George W. Bush's obtain one really wonderful success that will enable him to be remembered in a positive light. It???s called ???his legacy???.

A reading of history tells us that the likelihood of success is very remote. Bill Clinton, the master of communications, was unable to bring Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak to agree on a peace settlement. George W. Bush is not known for is diplomatic talent. This AP analysis dated November 25 is worthwhile http://apnews.excite.com/article/20071125/D8T4Q05O0.html. How can he bring two groups that have been fighting for 60 years together in peace?

It is a nice gesture to bring all the Arab nations to this conference but the only two groups needed for peace are the Israelis and the Palestinians. As long as Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists continue to attack Israel there will not be a sustainable peace. The Palestinians do not have the will to stop the terrorists.

I expect that the Arab nations will demand land from Israel as a trade for peace. Israel has already withdrawn from southern Lebanon, the Sinai Peninsula, and Gaza but those withdrawals have not brought any peace. Will Israel???s withdrawal from the Golan Heights and all of the West bank territories bring peace? Sorry to say but I do not believe the Arabs will be satisfied until there is no state of Israel.

BruceGee1962......maybe we should put you in charge. After all, you seem to know so much more than President Bush. Or are you just one of those who knows how to critize the actions of others, bad mouth every action of "the other side", without offering alternative solutions......like our elected Democrats!

You should pull your head out of that donkey's azz and take a look around once in awhile.

Look to the history of our recent past. The holocaust...I have been told if one doesn't learn from the mistakes of the past and correct them that one is destined to repeat it!

What about a national day of fasting and prayer? Of humble repentance?

Look to the example anciently of the people of the city of Ninevah. That city was spared total destruction upon their repentance when heeding the warning...Remember Sodom and Gomorrah who didn't heed..Look what happened to them. Repent America!

Giving Land to an enemy for peace is like giving your lunch money to a bully at school. Do you think he'll stop his aggression and taking if you concede?

There is only one WAY to Peace for all mankind, and that is the observance and application of God's Royal Law - The Ten Commandments. There is no other way.

President Bush and his administration may have good intentions, but his unrealistic date for completion of this extremely complex issue ("by the end of 2008) seems to say that he is more interested in getting credit for doing something during his tenure as president than in actually solving the problem. Undue haste will only hasten the demise of (Another) peace effort. The true solution to this problem lies GENERATIONS into the future, because it demands the grand-scale re-education of millions of people vis-a-vis long held beliefs.

Israel does want peace, but, those other folks simply want to wallow in their self imposed victimhood and continue causing bloodshed forever while blaming others.

Isreal will never not now or later be wiped off the face of the earth because God protects her !!!!! It would be wonderful if we lived in a world of peace but until Jesus comes back that will never happen either !! God Bless All !!!!

why must their be anger and violence between our two naions. We may find a solution peacful, as our father would want.
