I don't think so, she has to follow a certain path so the United States is seen as an unbiased middle party between Israel and the Palestinians.

Of course the Palestinians will keep doing terror and eventually they will cause an open war and when Israel wins, they can dictate the terms of peace.

I think things have to be played out where all the t's are crossed and all the i's are dotted. Then Israel will eventually be allowed to kick their butt IMO.

I think as Sec of State for America, she is handcuffed in a lot of ways. It isn't her she's representing out there.

I suppose you're right. Just like we have to allow the millions to come right up the gut while we wait anxiously for another 9-11 style attack that will (hopefully) galvanize the nation for a little while so we can take a few more baby steps in the war on terror.
