Your Move, Arabia
It would seem we have received the Iraeli response to the Friedman op-ed. This lays out well the situation Israel has been dealing with while the rest of the world wonders if Israel will, "Take a Chance" on peace. Dore Gold raises the interesting issue of the 1967 borders. Israel was attacked from those borders in '67.

This factor and the always dependable Arafat should shut down the Saudi initiative within a month or two.
