Mr. Bush Hangs Back

Submitted by Mike, Nov 30, 2007 14:08

I don't think that President Bush has any choice but to stand back. If a peace agreement is to take place, the Palestinian and Israeli leaders have to convince their own people that it is in their respective best interests. Given that both Hamas and Israeli hard liners have issues with the US, Bush's direct involvement would only make their internal negotiations more difficult. Standing back and letting the political processes work is the right approach.
