President Obama's next
move in the Middle East is so obvious I almost hesitate to suggest it: before
the Israeli election season completely unfolds, ask, cajole, or beg Bill
Clinton to take on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Clinton understands the
details and the players. He naturally symbolizes the achievements of the
Abbas-Olmert negotiations, which picked up where the Clinton parameters left
off. He is extremely popular in Israel and (through Ehud Barak) very close to
the Israeli defense community. He is insanely popular among American Jews.
