Oslo Accord v. Road Map to Peace
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page research paper that compares and contrasts the Oslo Accord with the Bush administration road map to peace. The writer argues that periodically, Western powers, particularly the US, intervene in the Middle East and endeavor to forge a path to peace between Israel and the Arab states. These efforts to find a solution to the animosity that has characterized this situation since the inception of the Israeli state have, thus far, been unsuccessful. An analysis of the Oslo Accord and the current Bush Administration "Road Map" for peace in the Middle East suggests that efforts toward peace will continue to fail as long as US leaders refuse to learn from the lessons of the past.
