On Mideast Trip, Rice to Try a New Formula
[Washington Post] Glenn Kessler - Secretary of State Rice is trying to make progress on the creation of a Palestinian state, but her goals have been thwarted by the changing realities on the ground. Now Rice is headed on her fourth Middle East trip in four months with a new game plan. She still wants to coax the Israelis into giving the Palestinians what she calls a "political horizon" - the glimmerings of a Palestinian state. But, at the same time, she wants the Arabs to also sketch a "political horizon" for the Israelis - the beginnings of recognition to give the Israeli government more room to strike a deal.
