This is the beginning of a farewell package for the "Uniter," who has so divided the U.S.

It is the first installment of a collection of instances where diverse parties have found common ground in unexpected places.

Feel free to add resources demonstrating what the people, cultures, and religious faiths of the world have in common.

Dennis Ross, who had taken part in Israel-Palestine negotiations in the Clinton administration, appeared on C-Span this morning to discuss the upcoming Annapolis conference.

The first caller who addressed Ross asserted that "Palestinians had no right to any land" in the region, "did not belong there and should be driven out;" were never held accountable for their actions but were "infantilized" by Israel and the international community.

In 2004, in a statement to a Congressional committee upon his return from a visit to the West Bank, John Brady Kiesling said: "Moral infantilization has reached the point where ordinary Israelis do not see any connection between Palestinian violence and Israeli actions."

This diary contrasts two press events where two different groups, advancing two different narratives, presented their hopes and expectations of the Annapolis Conference. The two events took place on Nov. 20, 2007, the morning that the State Department announced the date and cast for the Annapolis Conference game.

(Kiesling's entire statement is quoted, below.

We all know the folks who bray that only they know how to defend the US, while the Democrats have no ideas except appeasement; we recite their names & their ideas robotically:

Condi: make Iran behave 'the American way.'
Lieberman: bomb Iran
Ledeen: bomb Iran
Pastor John Hagee bomb Iran
McCain bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran
Rep Ed Royce, R-CA: bankrupt Iran 'til the people turn into a mob and violently overthrow their government

Can you say "Shock Doctrine?" The chickenhawks don't, of course; they intone lofty motives: "freedom!" "democracy!" "civilized!" "westernized!"

It may be very satisfying to throw stones at Limbaugh, but in Iran, college students are putting their lives and their futures on the line, protesting against their government.

Americans need to become much more attuned to the complexity of the Iranian situation, what the US government is plotting, what HR 1400 would do to f**k up the situation for Iranians who want to determine their own fate.
