The Peacemaker

Today in Annapolis MD. the President is hosting a peace conference between Israel and the Palestinians , the first in over seven years . Which of coarse sounds great until you start to really think about it . I've noticed in past times when our government host one of these Middle East Peace conferences it does one of two things , it'll either make or break a presidency . I guess that's why i can't help but wonder why after severing almost two full terms in office does President Bush choose this time to bring these two factions together . I feel that the only reason he's done this is to put a silver lining in an otherwise dismal administration . When you consider his failure to secure the southern border with Mexico or his rush to enforce the U.N. sanctions placed on Iraq some 15 years ago without proper planning , i can't help but believe that his real motivation is to leave office saving face . To get these two sides to make some kind of agreement so that he'll look good for posterity .
