U.S. Peace Efforts Failing to Generate Serious Traction
[Washington Post] Robin Wright and Glenn Kessler - The Bush administration has so far failed to generate serious traction behind its latest Middle East peace effort, with the opening session of its Washington conference of Arab and Israeli leaders tentatively scheduled for Nov. 15. Secretary of State Rice is not paying enough attention to what is happening on the ground, said former Mideast envoy Dennis Ross, with the breakup of the Palestinians into two rival parts and a failing economy. "If nothing is changing on the ground, then both sides will not find this effort to be credible," he said.
