In <A href="http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/2006/MR822.pdf">a 1997 paper for the Rand Corporation</A> titled "The Implications of the Possible End of the Arab-Israeli Conflict for Gulf Security," Khalilzad (and 2 <A href="http://www.brookings.edu/scholars/dbyman.htm">co-authors</A>) described all the good things that would redound to the U.S. if we could only bring about peace between Israelis and Palestinians. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2007/04/in_97_amb_khali.html"><P>The "fate of the Palestinians" was a "rallying cry throughout the Arab and Muslim world," he wrote. Again and again our special relationship with Israel had been "a hindrance to the U.S. military in the Persian Gulf." It had been "an impediment" to our effectiveness in the Gulf War of '91, limited our alliances with Gulf states, "limited the U.S. ability to rely on the facilities of its NATO allies." And it had given Saddam Hussein stature in the Arab world, notwithstanding his crimes.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AE118C00-AEB3-4CDF-BD42-1DC3838C071C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
