Mr. Pipes,

I read all of your articles and agree with 95% of what you say. However, I must say that Baker has not changed. Baker is still Baker. For whatever reason you didn't see who and what he was or chose not to see it. He is, and always has been, an anti-Semite. What other type of person could have a meeting about the Middle East that includeds all Arab states, doesn't include Israel but decideds Israel's future? The truly sad part is that Olmert is enough of a fool to probably think this is a good idea. One of the truly pathetic parts of this whole Middle East panel is that NONE of them are experts on the Middle East. Bush should have asked for help from people such as yourself and Bernard Lewis.
