It’s true that the disconnect between expectations and reality will lead to more problems.

What possessed Pres. Bush to think the Arabs were even ready for a state? They haven’t established a working administration, they continue government and religous and media incitement, by which they fail to prepare their people for less than their maximalist demands.

Then they run around insisting that the conference supply a final status agreement, exacerbating the negative reaction when it produces more hot air.
