There can't be real peace without improving the integration of Arab society and making it part of the political game.

I believe however that peace is attainable regardless of the Arabs mentality, society or government.

Peace in the Middle East isn't going to be created by another war or violent act on the other side.

How will decent people in the region ever believe in peace if Arab terrorists interpret every gesture of peace as a display of weakness and then act accordingly?

Don't forget we are in a state of war and no peace. But it's very dynamic and challenging compared to the rest of the Arab world.

Is there going to be a peace in the Middle East? Not in my lifetime.

Reasonable, even intelligent people can, and frequently do, disagree on how best to achieve peace in the Middle East, but, peace must be the goal of our foreign policy tools, whether they be by the stick or by the carrot.

It is not possible to create peace in the Middle East by jeopardizing the peace of the world.

On the other hand, if the free world is concerned with how a new Palestinian leader governs, then the peace process will have a real chance to succeed.

Were there peace and justice in the Middle East, the Arabs would no more need their tinhorn dictators than they would their corpulent princes.
