The Map and the Fence
By Edward R.F. Sheehan
As the Iraqi war has wound down, the United States has been promoting a 'road map' intended to solve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Together with the European Union, the United Nations, and Russia, the US defines the road map's destination as 'a final and comprehensive settlement of the Israel–Palestinian conflict by 2005.' The 'settlement, negotiated between the parties, will,' they hope, 'result in the emergence of an independent, democratic, and viable Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with Israel and its other neighbors.'
