RE: Call White House, Ask for Barack By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

Dear Editor,
Thomas Friedman errs in asking America to scorn negotiation efforts centered on creating a just and lasting peace between and for Israel and Palestine.
Abandoning Palestine now will only make matters much much worse: Extremists, hate mongers, bigots, terrorists, lunatics, and idiots worldwide thrive on the continuation of the Israel/Palestine conflict.
Hussein Ibish of the American Task Force on Palestine wisely points out "Continued occupation means war, conflict and ever-escalating violence, hatred and bloodshed. It is a literally untenable, unmanageable situation." http://www.ibishblog.com/blog/hibish/2009/1106/ibish_what_palestinian_state_are_you_talking_about_anyway
Now more then ever we need to be seriously focused in on empowering compassion, decency, dignity and diplomacy.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
