So Bush Says He "supports" A Palestinian State

I was just reading this next story at Yahoo News, about our "failed" President telling the Palestinians that they deserve their own state. This is all well and good, but there doesn't look like there is any push to actually accomplish this goal.

There has always been a very simple, but impossible to achieve way for a Palestinian state, and that is a recognition of Israel's right to exist, forgiveness on both sides for past actions, and a end to the Arabs of all stripes from verbally and physically attacking Israel and its' citizens. The road to that end is littered with the bodies of a few who attempted to make peace on both sides.

Someday, perhaps there will be peace and a settlement of this issue, but the near future looks bleak, even as Bush and Abbas tried to sound hopeful of success. So Bush supports a Palestinian state~~then maybe you should do something about it~~just saying, his efforts so far haven't accomplished anything. Are there new diplomatic efforts, behind the scenes cajoling, or just more lip service until the can get out of town next year?! It shall be interesting to see what new "things" are attempted between now and then!

The story says that President Bush, tried to reassure Palestinians wary of his dedication to their side in the Mideast peace dispute, said Saturday by saying that he is "absolutely committed" to getting an Israeli-Palestinian accord by the end of the year.

"It breaks my heart to see the vast potential of the Palestinian people, really, wasted," Bush said at the side of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. He spoke of a peace deal after the two leaders met in the president's villa at this beach resort town on the Red Sea. "It would be an opportunity to end the suffering that takes place in the Palestinian territories," Bush assured.

Bush and Abbas met for nearly an hour before speaking briefly to reporters. They then strolled back inside, holding hands as they walked slowly down a bouganveilla-lined path, for a private dinner.
