COCKBURN CRITIQUE MANDATES ACTION ASAP

COCKBURN CRITIQUE MANDATES ACTION - (The Nightmare in Israel)

Alexander Cockburn's scholarly critique - most timely - now

mandates meaningful constructive action by all who can bring

themselves to understand the realities of history and the current

madness underway.

It's a privilege to have the opportunity to supplement Cockburn's

article with my recommendation that you refer to several of my

earlier comments (and other references noted therein)

where I suggest the initiatives I believe are now critical for

creation of an INTERNATIONAL TEAM, likely to be successful in

formulating a COMPREHENSIVE OVERALL PLAN for an "End Game" for

peace and security in the Middle-East, then submitting "The Plan"

to a vote of the Israeli and Palestinian people.

We may then expect the officials representing the elite and

governments of Israel, Palestine, the USA, European Union, UN,

Arab States to provide the political, economic and military

support and influence to assure implementation of the "plan",

the INTERNATIONAL TEAM having placed military and other

specialists "on the ground" soonest, to establish both

confidence and security, with follow through including critical

actions to realize and assure implementation of relevant treaties

and Agreements.

Mr Javier Solana, Colin Powell, Hosni Mubarak, and Crown

Prince Abdullah are key players at this moment, requiring

some inspiration from constituencies as yet not awake to the

differences between ideology, myth, habits of self delusion,

hopes, fear, and pragmatic proposals for action that can be

realized to bring peace and security to the people (repeat - the

people) of the region, and also serve the critical interests of

the USA as well as all the other interested nations.

Thank you,
