...scrawls. The budding romance between Dan and Laurie is tepidly drawn and wanly performed; those who've seen 300 know that Snyder is in no way an actor's director. It's not the energizing ineptness of an exchange in an Ed Wood movie, or the carefully detailed high camp of the performances in David Lynch's Dune. It's just, mostly, inert. (The two self-starters are Haley, who does right by his grizzled role, and Morgan, a Robert Downey Jr. knockoff, who chews the scenery and his stogie with equal aplomb.)

The "land for peace" paradigm of the Oslo accords has long fallen into disrepute in Israel, where skeptics point out that Israel withdrew from Lebanon in 2000 and from Gaza in 2005 only to face rocket fire from Hamas and Hizballah.

Though she is widely respected for her administrative skills and bipartisan maneuvering, she is also a Washington newcomer...
...settlements be removed if there is a peace agreement that is acceptable to both sides? One can talk about removing settlements, but it becomes more difficult every day. Since the collapse of the Camp David summit in July 2000, some Palestinian and Israeli élites have begun to lose faith in the two-state solution. We see the rise of Hamas, which has a completely different agenda. If you don't have some kind of viable two-state solution, we have a problem on our hands...
