Peace in the Mideast - What a concept.

As a resident of Maine, the yearly host of the "Seeds for Peace" camp, I have spent considerable time debating the pathways to peace in the conflict between Israel and its neighbors.

What I've noticed is the tendency for this debate to become entrapped in the circular arguments of who has the true "legitimate" or "historical" right to its geographical claims.

The following diary is an attempt to move beyond this debate, to forge a pragmatic solution that serves the interests of the US first (in the spirit of McCain's "My Country First" slogan!) and Israel second. What a concept.
