#3  a long thumb sucker,

he gets some things right but sadly can't bring himself to admit, for example, that Hamas is genocidal at their core, that the Hamas-Fatah conflict is going to be bloody for the foreseeable future and that intra Hamas fights between shia-favoring factions and shia hating factions is also going to be blood for the foreseeable future

#2  I read the article and for the most part it was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah until I came to the following phrase:

the United States had fought a short, successful war -- the best kind -- and pushed Iraq's Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. And America was now well-positioned to bring Arabs and Israelis across the diplomatic finish line.

I concluded it is best to negotiate from a position of strength.

#1  Huh. I heard him talking on NPR on the drive in this morning, it sounded like he was some sort of Arafat-nostalgist. Reading that, I see that I misunderstood his drift.

The rest of that NPR piece was really dispiriting. They were quite frenetically sewing the sow's ear of Lebanese capitulation to Syrian hegemony into some sort of kumbaya silk purse of co-existence.
