I've Been Thinking:

I gain a lot insight into world affairs by studying the travel schedules of world leaders. I get insight into what these leaders plan to accomplish and clues as to what is really on their agendas.

On Tuesday of this week Abbas and Olmert will meet in Jerusalem.
In early September Abbas and Rice will be meeting.
At their meeting Rice and Abbas will be setting benchmarks for a US sponsored conference to be held in November.

I don't envision anything substantial coming out of this conference.
Israel and the Palestinians do not agree on much of anything at all. For example, the Palestinians have rejected Israel's most recent proposal that there be an exchange of populations and parcels of land as a means of dealing with - not ignoring, the Palestinian demand for "right of return."
The United States meanwhile, is turning a blind eye to all disagreements and hoping for miracles. The US is in "la la land" when it comes to Israel and the Palestinians.

Security is what these leaders should be discussing - not conference planning.
