Annapolis Gets a Bad Rap
By Micah Halpern

Tuesday November 27, 2007

I've Been Thinking:

Annapolis is getting a bad rap.
True, the initial plan for the Conference is a major flop.
The dual declaration, endorsed by Palestinians and Israeli, was pie in the sky.
But to the credit of the Americans, the Annapolis Conference has been reconfigured and, despite it all, there might be some positive long term ramifications.
The question is, are they worth it?

Positive ramification # 1:
The idea of the United States heading a coalition of Arab and Muslim countries, galvanized around helping the Palestinian Arabs, is a huge feather in America's diplomatic cap.

Positive ramification # 2:
Syria has openly declared, even published in a Syrian national newspaper, that their express purpose in attending is to put the breaks on an over all acceptance of Israel by Arab and Muslim states. In that, they will fail and failure for Syria is good for the rest of the world.

There is one great, big, major negative ramification of the Annapolis Conference.
The United States is leaving a long time friend and ally out to dry.
Israel is on its own among enemies.
