The Real Issue

Mr. Pipes, isn't it really true that nobody really gives a darn about the Palestinians? Expect for lip service and occasionally appeasing their numerous self-enriching leadership groups, no one reasonably expects any real progress in the maze that is the middle east

Iran is determined to control the whole ball of wax and not even George Soros believes negotiations will diminish Iranian's historic aspirations.

Is not the real issue whether the U.S., Riyadh, Cairo, and Tel-Aviv can align in a manner sufficient to remove or diminish the monster approaching over the horizon; or ,must little David teach the mightly world again how its done. While the remainder watch the replays over a glass of tea or pint of ale commiserating along with their Professor Chamberlain
