Road Map vs. Reality
(Washington Post) Gareth Evans and Robert Malley - The "road map" finally presented last week has no hope of being implemented, and yet it is crucial that its implementation be pursued. The road map consists of a number of steps that Israelis and Palestinians are expected to undertake without these steps being precisely ordered or defined and without an agreed method of verification or any indication of what happens if obligations or timetables should slip. The result is likely to be endless debate between the parties about who has met his obligation and who has not, who needs to take what step and when.
