#3 It might only be the beginning of a false dawn, like the Oslo Accords. But it is still possible that a two-state solution, no matter how ambiguous, will start an irreversible momentum toward sanity in the mad Middle East.

The Muslim Middle East's current "momentum toward sanity" has all the velocity of a sub-zero snail. Only a fool would bet otherwise. Since when has Islam ever thrived on peace?

Certainly the argument from Israel's peaceniks will be that once Palestinians taste normality, they will not want to go back to madness.

Another one of those shoot-for-the-moon longshots. Underestimating Palestinian hatred for the Jews is just as idiotic as underestimating the Muslim propensity for violence.

But it's only a gamble. Human beings are not that predictable, and the Islamic hate industry is one of the Middle East's biggest money crops. A lot of people are invested in it.

Meanwhile, back in reality.
