[Jason West] was more philosophical. "Well, that's the danger anyway," he said of the anxiety over greenwashing. "That's the danger regardless. {The accords} are nonbinding. That was one of the things we tried to fight {in San Francisco}, to strengthen some language. But I still do think they're useful. It's important to have a touchstone. It's a first step, not an end point. The fact that we had mayors from all over the world there talking to each other was incredible. I ended up spending a lot of my time with the mayor of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. It was amazing how similar the issues are when you're dealing with municipal infrastructure, municipal management. The issues are the same all over the world, and for the first time in history a majority of humanity lives in cities, wh...

Most people know that they will not see the return of millions of Palestinians into Israel, or what's known as historic Palestine," he says. "Deep in our hearts we know it isn't possible, but people would like to see an acknowledgement of Israel's moral and historic responsbility. "Palestinians would more likely accept this formula on the refugee than it would the internationalization of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is full of Islamic holy places over which Palestinains are not ready to make concessions," Dr. Abusada says. "Everyone who knows this city knows that it's not practical, it's not possible ... and it won't happen," Mr. [Nir Barkat] said. "It's what's called in English, 'wishful thinking.'

DAYTON -- After the warring ethnic parties in Bosnia agreed to the Dayton Peace Accords 10 years ago, the muscle to enforce the peace drew on Colin Powell's doctrine of overwhelming force: 60,000 NATO troops -- including 20,000 Americans -- were dispatched in three weeks to secure a region of 4 million people. If the same proportion of troops had been applied to the war in Iraq, the U.S. would have sent in 600,000 soldiers rather than 150,000.

THE accusation that the Jews stole their land from the Palestinian people refuses to die, but don't judge unless you know Israel's history. For centuries Arabs and Jews lived together. They lived mostly at peace, although Arabs greatly outnumbered Jews. The land was a sparsely populated barren desert, and its people were mostly nomadic. Large Jewish communities prospered between the 12th and 13th centuries; then the crusaders came and went, massacring infidels, Jews and Muslims alike.
... Arafat met and signed the Oslo Peace Accords, but some of the most difficult issues, namely thee Jerusalem and the Palestinian refugee solutions, were postponed. Since then the hope for peace has...
