[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] Never mind that...have they looked at the land they're claiming? A smart man would claim something like Tahiti as their homeland. But I digress. I know Joe Lieberman. I've met him, I've worked with his campaign people the last time he ran for re-election. He's not a stupid man. We actually sat & talked for about 45 minutes on Mideast policy; he'd heard me talk about my wargames that I used to run (& I'd LOVE to run an online version of them, but...) & we got to talking. He's a very smart, very intelligent man who knows where the chips fall. As a MAN, as a Jew, he was very much concerned about Israeli tactics about their need to always be right. As a politician, he understood that things are a long, slow arduous process. In many ways, his insight might HELP along the travel down the road becasue he has that rare ability to see both sides of the argument. Given the Israeli propensity to switch from one extreme to the other wit htheir leaders (conservative to liberal & back again), Barak's eventual replacement (& I'm thinking it'll come soon) will most likely be a peacemaker of Begin proportions. My only hope is that Arafat is alive long enough to help secure a good deal, because some of his possible successors as [i]de facto[/i] Palestinian spokesperson aren't as mellowed out as he's gotten.
