All right, Obama! Your team finally cracked the code! Dennis Ross is an intellectually dishonest broker for Middle East peace and you guys got the joke! Ross, a former member of AIPAC and WINEP, has no effing business being a -- well, what was he trying to be? -- a diplomat with direct responsibility for negotiating with Iran? Putting Ross in that role would have been such a dopey move, especially given his racist background. This shift is a major telegraph to the rest of the world -- the Neocon Nation is toast. Now we can have some semblance of hope that a two-state solution just might be possible. Ross = no peace (see Walt & Mearshimer).

...another round of unenforced peace accords, so that a transient politician can claim success while he rules.

Yes you idiots on the right would not understand anything like actually speaking to someone. For 8 years there was no one to 'speak', an illiterate President, a worm filled brain dead Vice President, and a Secretary of State that could do nothing but shop for shoes. I understand why you just don't get it.
