Monday, June 18, 2007

Dennis Ross served as Middle East envoy for George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. In Statecraft, he explains the power of diplomacy—and argues that the current Bush administration’s approach to foreign policy is an example of what not to do.

    dennis ross is guilty by ommision

    some points

    what was Israel's roll in helping the rise of Hamas

    (used as a foil to arafat's fatah)

    Hamas if i'm not mistaken respected a cease fire for over a year until they were democratically elected

    & one israel continued unabated settlements in the west bank

    withheld tax money owed to the palestinians

    & the international community tried to starve the people into rejecting hamas

    so many points aren't being addressed

    please throw mr ross a hardball....
