In a "world opinion roundup" entitled Two-State Solution: A Casualty of War?, which seems to be more of a blog entry than either a report or an analysis, Washington Post staff writer Jefferson Morely presents a variety of viewpoints from a variety of sources on the viability of the "two state solution" for the Israel-Palestine conflict. Granted, I understand why Mr. Morley and his paper choose to tiptoe around these issues, given the typical reaction to any criticism of Sharon's military tactics and decision to support and expand illegal settlements (and here I speak of settlements illegal even under Israeli law) in the occupied territories, or the natural suspicions raised by Palestinian references to the region's demographics and their implications for a Jewish state of Israel.
Meanwhile, Bush is speaking about the importance of democracy in the Middle East. Does this mean that his Administration has changed its mind about the desirability of a Palestinian election?
