Continuing my earlier post on Condoleeza Rice's trip to the Middle East, today's WaPo has an article entitled "Rice Cites Concern for Palestinians, But Low Expectations Mark Visit."
The piece states: "Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pledged Wednesday to "redouble" U.S. efforts to alleviate the economic plight of Palestinians facing escalating tensions and the threat of a humanitarian crisis. But U.S. officials cautioned not to expect any significant breakthroughs as prospects for a renewed Arab-Israeli peace process seem further away than ever." Just in case you thought something might happen, U.S. officials made sure to temper any naive enthusiasm that may still have existed. Rice pledged to redouble (a strange choice of words that would imply that there had been an earlier "doubling" of efforts) U.S. efforts, lets do the math, 2(2 x 0) = 0.
