Bush is doing all that he can to make sure that his administration ends with a legacy of some kind other than the Iraq war. Of course, the real kitty that he wants in the bag deaparately is the India nuclear deal which as a result of domestic policies in India, seems to be far from becoming a reality under the current administration's term in office. That said, Bush and Condi have started pusing all out for a Mideast deal of peace of sorts, but I am sure that any such deal that is realised will not stand for long, as the state fo Palestine itself is a dived state right now. With both Fatah and Hamas on opposite sides, any deal that is borkered by the United states with one of them is bound to aggravate the status quo between the camps of the Fatah and the Hamas.
The middle east question has always been a trickly one since time immemorial as history stands witness to that. But ever since the dissolution of Palestine and the creation of Israel, this has become alarmingly a threshold point that seems to go off not rarely but all too often.
All it needs is for one small event to throw the entire Middle east in turmoil, like the accidental shooting of a young palestinian by the Israeli forces or the suicide bombing like the one at Nahariya train station in northern Israel. Getting a concrete result from the Middle east is easier said than done, many better people than Bush and Condi had tried and they all have failed. I wish the best for Bush and hope that he does manage to secure peace in the Middle east but one should always carry a ton of salt with one whenever it comes to the Middle east!
