Can we have him? Please?

Realism in the face of existential threats. You wouldn’t think it would be a story.

Mr. Leiberman is just stating the obvious.

“I voted against the Roadmap,” Lieberman acknowledged, but it was “approved by the Cabinet and by the Security Council” and is therefore “a binding resolution.” However, he insisted, it must be implemented “in full.” The Roadmap imposes specific obligations that the Palestinians must meet prior to achieving statehood - above all, an unequivocal end to violence, terrorism, and incitement against the Jewish state - and Israel will not agree to waive them in order to negotiate a final settlement.

He is right. The sacred “Roadmap” is always invoked by diplomats. However, the Palestinians have done nothing—only Israel is expected to follow the Roadmap to the letter.
We have been dealing with North Korea in much the same way.
I swear our current crop of diplomats are either stupid, insane, or both.
