Thomas Friedman says he's heard it before, but this time he really believes it.
His NYT column sets forth succinctly some of the challenges in creating a peace in the Middle East. Actually, he's more concerned with the challenges just in getting to a place where negotiations can begin.
What he says seems to make sense to me on first glance. Although, I don't tend to believe in "five minutes to midnight" characterizations. Life goes on. It may be ugly, but life goes on. It makes sense as a measurement of likelihood of world-wide nuclear devastation, but for anything else, it's hyperbole. There are always second chances, if we're creative enough.
