What's a 'reasonable' extrapolation of the Security Council abstention ?

The 'one state' solution ?


And why wasn't there some 'horse trading' involved with that abstention? Seems like the US could have wheedled some grata ta ta from the denizens benefitted from the vote.

Why can't we be walking away with some boodle or spliff ? I'm old enough to remember the US getting boned for it's trouble intervening on behalf of what turned out to be the wrong (Muslim) side in the Balkans cluster fuck. Let's get the goodies up front from now on, or fuck 'em.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
