I think a large part of the difference from the Clinton years is the Palestinian leadership. Now they have a democracy, then they had a military dictatorship. Look at the track records of the two typesof government and you'll find democracys to be much more engaging in diplomacy and less inclined to violence. At this stage of the game, I think a Palestinian state is easily possible within the next 5 years.
Not only do I think that a Palestinian state would be good for the Palestinians... it would be VERY good for the United States. The fundamentalist muslim world will be significantly less hostile towards us once we stop taking sides in Israel vs Palestine - which will happen because there will be no such conflict anymore.
