...that should be sought. The bitter criticism heaped on Egypt by other Arab nations including Syria and Libya is unjustified and counter-productive, and Sadat and Israel should continue to negotiate in preparation for Geneva no matter who else joins or criticizes. The other alternative is the kind of step-by-step diplomacy practiced by the United States under Henry Kissinger, which produced only a stalemate...
...days in December 1973 and then recessed because Israel was about to hold general elections. The conference, co-chaired by the U.S. and the Soviet Union, has never reconvened; during the recess, Henry Kissinger eased the Russians out of the picture temporarily, to conduct his own series of step-by-step negotiations involving Israel, Syria and Egypt...

I think there has been a general acceptance of the proposition that the step-by-step incremental approach is too long, too tedious and leaves unhealed wounds. I think there is a general acceptance of the proposition that we ought to have a comprehensive settlement, based on peace treaties with all the Arab nations and the Israelis being involved together...
