Arabs Remind Bush of Commitment to Mideast Peace

By Jonathan Wright

CAIRO (Reuters) - Arab governments reminded President Bush (news - web sites) on Thursday of his commitment to Middle East diplomacy, in the hope a second Bush administration will pay more attention to one of their top priorities.



The official message to Bush, who was re-elected on Tuesday, was one of polite cajoling and willingness to work with the United States to revive Middle East talks, which made no significant progress in Bush's first term.


But their emphasis on his past commitments, to a Palestinian state for example, reflected low expectations that Bush would take any bold new steps to end a conflict that has dominated regional politics for more than 50 years.


Arab commentators and ordinary people were divided between those who believed Washington would change course and those who thought Bush's views were too deeply entrenched. Some forecast the situation would get worse.

They are wasting their time and breathe.

Middle East is in for a 'hell of a time' in the next 4 years!

The only thing W is committed to is to make his filthy rich friends even richer.

the Chimp will not help or engage with any Palestinian leader,whoever that may be.Is anyone seriously expecting there to be any attempt at ending the occupation,or stopping the killing?
