Ex-diplomat: UN failed in Middle East, subservient to U.S., Israel
By Reuters
A former U.N. Middle East envoy quit his job last month making bitter allegations that U.N. policy in the region had failed because it was subservient to U.S. and Israeli interests, according to a leaked document.
In a confidential end-of-mission report, seen by Reuters, Alvaro de Soto poured scorn on the Quartet negotiating group of the United States, Russia, European Union and United Nations, and suggested the world body should pull out of the group established for the purpose of advancing peace in the Middle East.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Wednesday the report represented De Soto's personal views and disputed his former envoy's conclusion that the Quartet had become a "side-show".

I support Israel's right to exist. And I've always been about providing Israel with foreign aid, etc.; but, the way things are going w/the Pelestinians, I think its time to sit down with Israel and at least try and work something out. I mean, dam, if WE all don't, we're gonna find armageddon instead.

Right now people are celebrating the 20th anniv. of Reagan's tear down this wall speech; and the GOP pres. candidates are touting Reagan like a MOFO
And yet, Israel and conservative REpublicans are wanting to erect walls.
That seems so unlike what Reagan would seek.
My impression is: don't trust these charlatins. they are nothing like Reagan.
