Bush's Brainless Peace Plan
Perhaps because President Bush is so famously brainless, he believes that we are too. Thus he presents his recent Israeli/Arab peace strategy believing that we won't notice the Israel Lobby parading him around with a ring through his nose. For instance, the Arab League Peace Plan offers peace (an end to violence) and recognition of Israel, including diplomatic relations, in exchange for Israel ending the occupation. So Bush believes he is very clever to offer a re-starting of peace negotiations in exchange for an end to violence and recognition of Israel, including diplomatic relations. Who would be so dense as to fall for that? Perhaps Bush? The Arabs are supposed to offer everything in exchange for a promise to discuss whether Israel will offer anything? Bush probably wonders why all the intelligence reports state the obvious: our occupation of Iraq has increased terrorism. Obviously the Israel Lobby (clearly Bush's only source of information) has never divulged to him the fact that it was American support of Israel's occupation of Palestine which led to the 9/11 attacks (See "The 9/11 Commission Report" p. 147). Bush keeps parroting his stipulation that an end to all violence is a precondition for talks on ending the occupation, yet he is too brainless to realize that occupations always have and always will result in violence.
