"In The Absence Of Peace, A War Between Palestinians"
Business-oriented Valor Economico (6/19): "The lack of negotiated
solutions for the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and
for the stabilization of Iraq has gradually imploded all governments
of the region and made the political situation in the Middle East
even more volatile and troublesome than before.... If peace
opportunities have been lost with an irritating regularity, these
crises favor opportunistic attempts to obtain advantages that lead
to nowhere.... The US believes that the separation of regional
Palestinian leaders will make the task of supporting one of the
parties easier, and has promised to resume aid to President Mahmoud
Abbas, thereby isolating the radicals.... It's the Bush
administration's notorious ability to exchange reality for
appearances, something that is even more disastrous in places such
as the Middle East. It is absolutely unrealistic to believe in any
peaceful way out, even temporary, while the Palestinians are
divided."
