Let's hope not !
But, my fear is that it's a desperate attempt to add one positive note to his abysmal record. I still think that Condi Rice is a very intelligent, and well-trained diplomat, but she may have lost all credibility by being party to the Bush-Cheney failures.
IF, and it's a huge If, he could actually make some progress towards a Palestinian State, many moderate Arabs,(those rare people), might change their minds about "the Great Satan".
A Peace accord would also raise our esteem among all our former allies, who have been dealing with this issue since 1947, as much as we have.
I wish him luck, for the Palestinian and Israeli people's sake!

Bush is the first American President to call for a Palestinian state and he was able to pass a UN resolution to insure his call for a Palestinian state.
Bush is well aware if he pressure the Israelis to end the occupation he may get his Monica Lewinsky.
The name of the game in the Middle East is Israel and the Israeli lobby.

This Question is proof that it doesn't matter what Bush does,the left will always cry about it.And,,,what is wrong with him trying to start peace talks over there whether it is to make him look good or not? If some peace comes from it ,that's the whole idea right?I think the left wing needs to make up their minds,they either want peace,,,or they don't.You can't have it both ways.Unless your true goal is to bad mouth our Government no matter what they do.

Maybe I'm naive, and I certainly don't trust or approve of Bush, but if this actually works, it would be great. The Palestinians have been refugees far too long and making a home state for them is long overdue. It's hard to imagine Bush actually making a good decision, but miracles still happen!

It is a last ditch effort to leave a positive legacy, that no one can question. At the same time it is sending a message to Iran from the Arab Middle East world to back off. It is a snub to them that they have not been included and at the same time it is supposed to diminish their influence, by allowing the other countries to be heard without Iran grabbing the spotlight.

Hamas is onboard, so it's for real. I'm not saying it's going to succeed, but it goes deeper than a photo op. Bush has nothing to lose legacy-wise, so he might as well go all out. The fact is, his Saudi friends owe him a favour and if they recognize Israel the other Gulf states are likely to follow along.

No more than any of them held in the past.
Arafat and Jimmy Carter got the Nobel Prize for their peace conference. Too bad it was all fake.

There is more to it than that. It is at least conceivable that after sixty years of warfare with Israel, which has brought them nothing but losses, they are interested in trying to work a deal. There are, of course, stick-in-the-muds (like Hamas) who won't buy in, but something may be accomplished nonetheless.
