[QUOTE]Originally posted by Grumman: [QB] Bogle says, [b]''But to present the options as an either-or situation is misleading as its not about either you capitulate to Israel or "make things right" in the region.''[/b] And since that may be the case then I'm sure most people would still say with lots of cynicism ''Yeah buddy what else is new.'' Meaning, how does Mr. Obama figure he can do anything at all, or anyone else for that matter. [b]''Its about taking the rational middle ground, doing whats in the best interest for America, strategically, in that part of the world.''[/b] I don't have a clue what the ''rational'' middle ground would be in the best interests for America. It seems to me any interest at all goes against what some thugs in Hamas want and that is, according to some news accounts, the elimination of Israel. A major difference between the ordinary* Palestinian citizens and Hamas is Hamas will send opponents to harpland if they even think about giving any political ground to Israel; and I'm sure some bearded, wide brimmed-hat-wearing, long sideburns, curly Q'ed jerk would kill the leading Israeli official for doing the same if he said that rock across the road belonged to the Palestinians instead of him. At the same time the hard-liners in Israel's government aren't even concerned about anybody else as along as they can keep some non-deeded land from a few thousand years ago. *This assumes both sides haven't done anything to each other in the past few months before the Palestinians, the ordinary citizens, will sit back and ''assess the situation.'' Assess the situation! For what! Hammer says, [b]''America would be insane to push Isarel into a two state solution. No way that helps us in the region.''[/b] Actually that makes sense because once a state is recognized then in the future that state may want warplanes of its own to protect its interest, even if the interests are right across the border.
