As I noted, peace talks tend to induce silly comments and amnesia among the chattering class. No one chatters and forgets more than Tom Friedman. He writes:
President Obama is embarking on something I’ve never seen before — taking on two Missions Impossible at the same time. That is, a simultaneous effort to heal the two most bitter divides in the Middle East: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Shiite-Sunni conflict centered in Iraq.
Um, except for George W. Bush.
