Palestine and Pakistan

Harvey Sicherman, President of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, has analyzed the difficulties facing the Obama Administration in Palestine and Pakistan. If you want a single piece that brings you up to date on these two thorny problem regions, this is the one for you.

The Administration has appointed a special envoy for each region (George Mitchell for the Middle East, Richard Holbrooke for Pakistan and Afghanistan.) Neither man, unfortunately, is likely to find quick solutions, especially since both disputes involve failed or failing states.
