Time to Get Serious

By David Dreilinger, February 21, 2007

At first glance, it appears that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s recent visit to Israel has proved the skeptics – those who doubted that either Israeli or Palestinian leaders were prepared to make any bold moves, and that the United States was not truly committed to the process – right.  Traveling
