Wendy Sherman, nominee for some position in the offices of Undersecretary the State Dept, was in a hearing and the problems between Egypt and Israel was brought up concerning recent problems where Egyptians were killed during an attack against Israel from armed insurgents. State Dept. policy according to Sherman was that the US believes basically that the situation will be safe and that Egypt is going to be a fair law abiding state operated within the bounds of a democracy of sorts. These people are blind and stupid if they think for a minute that people from the Muslim Brotherhood will allow Egypt to operate as some free and democratic state. This country will fall under the thumb of Iran and will turn to Islamic law for their total authority.
The State Department lives and operates under some fairy tale philosophy that all it take is talking to your enemies. This same way of thinking is how the State Dept expects the Israel/Palestinian situation to be solved. Palestine will not accept Israel being an individual state with established borders which can be defended. Forgetting defend-able borders, Palestine will not even recognize Israel as a state with a right to exist so we know the rest of any peace process is nothing more than pie-in-the-sky dreams of a liberal population. The UN meeting due within days will bring up a vote for a Palestinian state. If a Palestine state is approved by the members this would do great harm and create problems greater than anyone realizes. All the Arab world will automatically call for the immediate destruction and removable of citizens from the current state of Israel. We have gone through this before and unless people honestly look at the truth about what is taking place in Israel then the slaughter committed against Israel will happen again.
