It’s a relief to see that Pakistan has been invited — certainly right now the Pakistani government is ideally positioned to give its undivided attention to Palestine. If al Qaeda takes Islamabad between now and the conference, will Condi withdraw the invitation? And perhaps the Syrians will pledge to only kill three Lebanese politicians for the remainder of the calendar year. Could Iraq be called upon to redirect some of its contractors rebuilding schools in Anbar to rebuild the schools in Nablus, so they may again one day teach nine-year-olds to worship suicide murder? Will the Sudanese offer their Janjaweed commandos to conduct West Bank counterterrorism seminars? So many historic opportunities, so little time.
