me too .. :) .. optimistic i mentioned .. on Oslo, i agree 100%, Obama should not consider
dismissing the Oslo achievements .. actually, am guessing, Khaled Diab, might agree, too .. his

"The first step, in my view, is for him to announce publicly that the
failed, discredited and ineffective Oslo process will be abandoned" ..

was, i think, more that the "process", the mechanics toward the agreement were exclusive .. he suggested the
effort should be more international, even include the involved public, .. maybe he was thinking of things like ..

"All the parties to the conflict were invited to Madrid but the PLO was excluded
on account of its support for Iraq following its invasion if Kuwait on 2 August 1990."

and of course Hamas should also be included now .. if i'm right here, Diab, could
have expanded more on his problem with the process .. here's another on that ..

"The Palestinians’ expectations were not accommodated by the Oslo accords. The Oslo process
required the Palestinians to make their principal compromises at the beginning, whereas Israel’s
principal compromises beyond recognition of the PLO were to be made in the final status talks."

Thanks .. it's a good point you made .. Oslo was signed, and achievements were made ..

"The documents themselves were signed by Mahmoud Abbas for the PLO, foreign Minister Shimon Peres for Israel,
U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher for the United States and foreign minister Andrei Kozyrev for Russia."

Optimism .. lol .. again, i am leaning with you .. yet .. you'd remember this one ..

Shimon Peres on Obama, Iran and the Path to Peace .. last bit ..

Will you live to see peace in the Middle East?

I think and believe so. If I have another 10 years to live, I am sure that I will have the privilege
of seeing peace come even to this dismal and wonderful and amazing part of the world.
