illusionary toughness

America was tough with Israel during the Camp David, Begin-Sadat peace negotiations. Then too the talk that was heard was that America had deserted Israel. This turned out to be totally false. The resultant peace between the two formerly warring parties has saved countless lives, and provided Israel with a measure of security not experienced in the past. Beware the prophets of doom and gloom who are so quick to prejudge. There is no real way to predict the outcome of this renewed efforts at achieving mid east peace. It just might prove as much of a success as Camp David.
