When I first heard of this "road map" the news was that there would be no negotiations. It is there, take it or leave it. That part I think is smart for Bush. Anybody thinks that the Israelis will return to the 67 borders is hallucinating or never seen a map of those borders. It would be like telling your kids they could "go in the kitchen, but one would have to stay on the white tiles and one would have to stay on the black". Whoever set up those borders was an imbecile. Take a look sometime, there is literally a crossroads where the two nations are "catty corner" to each other. Those borders were indefensible and the Arabs screwed up royally when they attacked Israel and gave Israel the justification to improve it's border security. To pretend that this is the reason Arabs hate Jews or that returning to those borders will bring peace is something a 1st grader would understand is pure psychosis.

The arabs and Jews have been at loggerheads since the days of Ishmael when Abraham got his concubine pregnant. Never shoulda happened. He went against God's plan and we're stuck with the mess it created. There will never be peace in the Middle East until Christ returns to fight for Jerusalem. If we divide Jerusalem, then it's prophetic that Christ will return for His people and He will protect His chosen ones, the Jews. We live in interesting times.
