"According to recent polls, 64 percent of the Israeli population is in favor of such talks. What is lacking is a heavyweight politician who would make negotiations with the enemy his concern, knowing that the smallest setback could cost him his career."

This is what infuriates me about politicians everywhere. We are talking about human lives and politicians are concerned about their careers! We may not have a Gaza here in the US but we certainly have a similar lack of perspective!

The politicians lack of perspective seems to be very similar to the corporate boards and CEO's lack of perspectives. Most are greedily concerned with self-interest and often ignore the human cost of their actions.
