Reply #3: Dean has always approached things like this [View All]

[KaraokeKarlton]

I'm in a position to already know this because he was my governor. That's why I've never been concerned about his position regarding this issue. I KNOW he will be fair to both sides. He won't turn his back on Israel, but he'll open doors for Palestinians, too. In fact, I am convinced he has the ability to approach the conflict in a rational, sensible way and do a lot to find solutions. I think that more than anything, Palestinians need to know that they are heard, respected and valued as human beings. That alone will go a long way to stop the violence. As long as they are demonized, the violence isn't going to stop. This can be done without alienating Israel, and I think the statements made by both Lieberman and Kerry prove that they are going to favor Israel. Some others would favor Palestinians. I think Dean is the only one who can deal with the situation in a fair and evenhanded way.
