Annapolis

Well, we are now some days post-Annapolis and what do we know? The PA General Assembly has voted that any concession to Israel will be deemed to be high treason. Egypt continues to turn a blind eye toward weapons smuggling by Hamas and just let hundreds out of Gaza contrary to agreements under the guise of the annual pilgramage. Rockets still land in Israel and any response is termed "despicable." In other words, more of the same.

Basically, Annapolis did nothing. Sometimes pointless discussions do make things worse, because they make real negotiations nearly impossible. As long as the Palestinians continue to think that they can make progress without real concessions, the talks will always be a failure. And where was Kuwait? The US saved that country and they cannot be bothered to even show up.

This was a charade. The sooner the world realizes that, some real progress might be achieved.
