Animals

We wouldn't be saying this if they were our neighbors.

Saying the time is now for a Palestinian state, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Monday prodded Israel and the Palestinians to agree at a U.S.-sponsored conference this fall on how and when to start formal peace talks.

In one of her strongest statements yet on the issue, Rice declared that creation of a Palestinian state is a key U.S. interest and urged the two sides to drop contentious demands and reach consensus on a substantive joint statement ahead of the international conference.

For some reason in the last two years of their terms, presidents seem to think that a Palestinian/Israeli resolution is the key to their legacy. Even if it is the most wishful of wishful thinking and completely unwarranted.

Until the Palestinians stop behaving like animals, I would cut off all aid (much more difficult to buy mortar rounds without American cash) and tell them they can count the US out of any "peace negotiations". Waste of time.
