Crisis Flummoxes White House
President Mubarak's Refusal to Step Down Signals a Loss of Western Influence; Sense of 'Disbelief' After Speech
from the article:
Israeli officials also told the U.S. Thursday that right-wing parties in Israel could gain strength in future Israeli elections as a result,
complicating efforts to advance peace talks with Palestinians.
Cool!
Now, besides the Israel-Palestine conflict upsetting Middle East stability and destroying any chance for Peace In Our Time--we also find that upsetting Middle East stability will destroy any peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
And that of course will upset Middle East stability.
And that will destroy any chance for peace between Israel and the Palestinians...
An endless cycle of violence!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
