Elliott Abrams interviewed by the Jerusalem Post:
Q. Why were you skeptical [about a resolution of the conflict]?
A. Because others said that the solution here, the eventual deal, was pretty well understood on both sides – that there weren’t a million possibilities for where the border between Israel and the Palestinian state would be. The same with regard to Jerusalem. Therefore, they said, it won’t take all that much negotiating to get there. That was the conventional wisdom. But it seemed to me that the opposite view was right: that if everybody knows what a deal has to look like, and year after year and decade after decade, it is not possible to reach it, isn’t it obvious that it’s because neither side wants that deal?
(Via Power Line.)
Well, it’s obvious that at least one side doesn’t want the deal, anyway.
