but first the Arab countries need to make sure that their people have come to terms with this. If we look at countries like Egypt, the official press is vehemently anti-semitic (and anti-American), until that changes there will be no real peace.

I believe that many of the Arab leaders in the Middle East (King Abdullah may be an exception as Jordan has always been a freer country then most of the others in the region) don't really want to end the conflict for a very simple reason. If the conflict with Israel ends they will have no bogey man to blame for their problems. If there really was peace, people in Egypt, Syria, etc., would start to wonder, why is it that Israel a country of 6 million people has a Western standard of living, a bigger GDP, a free press, a democratic government, etc., while we are stuck in the dark ages of dictatorships, etc.? How will Bashar Assad justify martial law or the fact that there are no banks in Syria, no free press no internet, etc.? How will Mubarak justify being President for life when the Egyptian economy has gone nowhere under his reign? This is a very scary thought for the leaders of these places. This is exactly why, when push came to shove Mubarak and others told Arafat to reject the deal at Camp David, because they want to play both sides, on one hand they offically support the US and the peace process, and therefore receive alot of US aid, on the other hand domestically they put out an anti-Israel, anti-American message.
