1. Iran -- as far as I know Iran's terrorist connections are all anti-Israel first and anti-US second and as I stated our policies have influenced the second from the first. I could be wrong.

2. Helping them out of the economic stagnation is something we can do by promoting trade. Once we are bound up with active economic ties their animosity against us should lessen. Not dealing with them binds them into the agrarian, non-leverageable economies they present are. China could be considered the model.

3. Millions of Palestinians fled what is now Israel at gunpoint primarily to Jordan but also other countries. The Israeli policy of expanding the area for settlement is directly caused by the constant influx of Jews born and raised for generations in other parts of the world.

4. Even without mediation, we can have an even-handed policy.
