How serious is the U.S. about Middle East peace?
Reading this article which reports that Tony Blair may become the next "special envoy" for the "Quartet," I learn that the position has been open since April, 2006, more than a year! Not that anything different would have happened had the position been filled, mind you. But still, it does rather reflect the "seriousness" (as in ha, ha) that the "Quartet" treats the concept of a just solution for Israel and Palestine (even on their terms of what that "just solution" might entail).
