The road to nowhere: "...The Palestinians are ready provided there is a clear agenda. Israel says an agenda means preconditions..."

I take that back. It's not a road to nowhere, it's rather a road to a catastrphe! WaPo/ here
"... Israel insists it is ready for direct talks, provided there are no preconditions. The Palestinians are ready provided there is a clear agenda. Israel says an agenda means preconditions. ... Few Palestinians or Israelis believe that direct talks would lead to a peace ... Netanyahu may benefit from a move to direct talks, countering the notion abroad that he is not a genuine peace-seeker ... (and Abbas you ask? He waddles, with a US-Quartet-Egypt-Saudi-Israeli intravenous!)"

Ahhh disaster. Maybe we should just let the Chinese take over this thing. Clear that the US-EU (and most other parties that been involved) are getting nowhere fast.

I would say that they have gone backwards and we are back at Camp David but clearly its worse than that.

Come on China! Kick everyone out of the talks and do something crazy.
