I hate to say this, mainly because it's such a cliche(even though it's true), George Bush et al are so desperately trying to appease Israel, no matter what they do, for political reasons. That kind of political bias is the kind of thing that exarcebates the situation, fueling the flames of hatred. The people living there, Israelis and Palestinians alike, are going to look at this idiot Bush and think what the fuck does this guy want? Why is he getting involved? And they're each going to think he's somehow undermining their own cause, spurring them to prove their own point even more, making the situation even worse than it is. Meanwhile Bush gloats having scored political points.
