why does it necessarily have to be in the middle east
Finally Saudis have earned some respect.
No brother too little to late. These ugly fat men in royal family dont care for anyone even arabs they just care about their survival. this is just window dressing
Obama and the liberal media are planning to wipe out Israel.
As both an American and as a Jew, I have to wonder what the problem is with Palestinian statehood.
Our Declaration of Independence says that all people have a right to live under a government whose legitimacy rises from the consent of the governed. Further we believe that government exists for securing the rights of the people and that when a government fails in that regard or no longer enjoys the consent of the governed it loses all legitimacy.
So can anyone rightly say the Palestinians live under a government that enjoys their consent or exists to secure their rights? Can anyone tell me why they don't also have the right to have such a government? Americans enjoy that right, as do Israelis. And they should.
What makes Palestinians different? Permanent borders can be decided on after they have achieved statehood just as easily as before. In fact, recognizing a Palestinian state might very well make the Palestinians easier to negotiate with as we would then know who speaks for them. As it stands now we have no idea; their government is split.
I say this as much out of concern for Israel as for any other reason. Israel's long term security depends entirely upon reaching an agreement with the Palestinians. Time is not on Israel's side.
------------------------------------------------------
This whole conversation is so pathetic. What exactly are Palestinians supposed to gain by waiting for statehood? Some future promise of possible talkes??? I'm sick of it and I'm not even a Palestinian!
The government of Israel is the problem, and our countries political apparatus for being beholden to them for domestic elections. There is not going to be a "political solution" to this issue. There IS going to be a military solution when an Arab or Islamic country has equal fire power with Israel. I am so sick of our nation's leaders putting time into this no-win situation, driven by our OWN domestic politics.
Maybe a very rich Arab-American political action committee can solve this issue but until the these pathetic editorials make no sense and move no one!
========================================
As an American, and as a Jew who clearly remembers the courage of President Truman when he recognized the new State of Israel, it is time for Mr. Obama to do the same for Palestine. The mythology of a negotiated settlement after over 40 years of mutual recriminations, wars, massacres (remember Shaba and Shatilla as well as countless Gaza incursions), infitadas, and obstruction is more than "late in the game." The game is and should be over. There are many American Jews like me who would welcome a bold new policy that grants statehood to Palestine and lets the UN set a framework (already embodied in Resolution 242) for negotiating the details. It is time for the US to lead. The world including many Jews here and even more in Israel are ready.
The majority of our oil import does not come from the ME.
that wasnt what i was trying to point out, Saudi Arabia is in middle east. a strategic place, whereas Canada is in your backyard. they dont have any other options.
Nothing of substance I'd say.
The Americans can turn to alternative suppliers. Canada is a big source of oil.
Saudi leaders would be forced by domestic and regional pressures to adopt a far more independent and assertive foreign policy. Like our recent military support for Bahrains monarchy, which America opposed, Saudi Arabia would pursue other policies at odds with those of the United States,
<......>
Saudi Arabia recently played a leading role in isolating Syrian President Bashar al-Assads brutal government by demanding an end to the killing of protesters and recalling the Saudi ambassador from Damascus. The impending fall of Mr. Assads barbarous regime provides a rare strategic opportunity to weaken Iran.
Finally I have some Respect for Saudi Arabia .

If Saudi Arabia stopped being so loyal to the USA then the Arab World, Iran, and Muslim World would be 100x times better, united and very well off. this is a first step congrats saudis you earned it, next would be to Dump the petro Dollar.
At more than one point we tried reaching out for Iran but their support for the Houthi Insurgency to attack us was the last straw really.
