From the Paper:

"I would choose my course of action because many things have already been tried and have failed in the Middle East peace process. It seems that the entire group of nations cannot get together, but perhaps smaller groups could reach some kind of accord that would then spread and become the normal situation. I do not think the residents enjoy the constant conflict, but neither side is willing to give in and capitulate to the others' needs and wants. I also do not think that an outsider, like a powerful world leader, has the power to sway opinion in the Middle East. For the most part, the two sides often seem to resent meddling or outside intervention, and so, they might not welcome the advances of a powerful world leader, even if the intent was nothing but honest and good. One Middle East expert notes, "The roles external actors play in the Arab-Israeli conflict are thus complex, all the more so because the regional actors have their own interests and do not readily accept diktats from outside" (Spiegel 183)."
