My Hope for Middle-East | |
In the midst of death, life persists
In the midst of untruth, the truth persists
In the midst of darkness, light persists
--Mahatma GandhiIn the midst of Mid-East violence, peace persists? Despite all the violence committed by either sides,
I am upbeat about a fast settlement in the Middle-East. My reasoning:
- Arafat is not going to live forever. When he is dead and gone,
Israel would not have anybody to deal with. Time is running out.
- I quote Gandhi again -"A nation or an army, no matter how powerful,
cannot rule upon millions of citizens who are not cooperative." Although late, the people
of Israel are beginning to understand this.
- President Bush is not Clinton. Israel will screw up at its own peril
- As an outside observer, the new peace plan put forth by Saudi Arabia seems like a fair/logical start to me.
