AP - Talks between Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, initially billed as a new U.S. push to restart peace efforts, ended Monday with little progress other than a commitment to meet again. In a 90-second statement following the two-hour meeting, Rice said the three discussed the changed political circumstances arising from a Palestinian power-sharing deal that includes Hamas militants.
With all due respect to Secretary Rice; her visits, I predict, will not convince the parties involved to come to a peaceful solution. Try, as we must, to influence these entities is honorable but generally fruitless unfortunately. They seem to put on a good front at first then return to their separate agendas. This is an ongoing battle that never seems to wind down. One would think that after hundreds of years of fighting they'd get tired of it.
