 israelinsider: Views: From shuttle diplomacy to shtetl mentality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
To a certain extent the heavy diplomatic traffic between Washington and the region recalls Henry Kissinger's "shuttle diplomacy" after the 1973 Yom Kippur War, which led to the signing of an interim agreement between Israel and Egypt.
Instead of placing the onus on the Palestinians, who resorted to the rifle and initiated the bloodshed, Bush is acting as if the two sides were equally to blame for the current predicament.
But whereas the process three decades ago was rightfully labeled "shuttle diplomacy," what is happening now is more akin to "shtetl diplomacy" as the sovereign government of the State of Israel begins to act more and more like a community council in charge of a 19th-century Eastern European Jewish village.

WASHINGTON -- When payload specialist Bill Nelson was training for his space shuttle mission in 1986, he enthusiastically chewed wads of cotton for scientists who wanted to study his spit.
Shortly after the shuttle reached orbit, over the Indian Ocean, Nelson dug out his Bible and read from the 19th Psalm, the one that begins, "The heavens declare the glory of God." Later, aided by weightlessness, he danced the Twist.
He spent hours with the others in the shuttle simulator, learning every screw and latch in the orbiter.

A weekend of intensive diplomacy in West Africa to try to keep the Cote d’Ivoire peace process alive seems to have ended inconclusive.
All stakeholders were acutely aware of the approach of a rebel deadline, at midnight on Sunday, with the implicit threat by the Ivorian insurgents of a return to war if the French-brokered peace accord was not fully implemented.
Meanwhile a rebel delegation, led by the secretary-general of the main Patriotic Movement of Cote d’Ivoire (MPCI), Guillaume Soro, flew out of Accra, Sunday en route to Nigeria, in what appears to be a whistle stop swing through West Africa by the rebels trying to garner diplomatic support from regional leaders.

Hill, Petritsch and Mayorsky, are holding separate meetings and discussions, with both delegations, going from one to the other, and giving them the propositions and annexes and taking their suggestions and objections.
This is very similar to the "shuttle diplomacy" lead by Ambassadors Christopher Hill and Wolfgang Petritsch, which was applied the last couple of months in Kosova.
The distinction now is that there is no need for shuttling back and forth between Belgrade and Prishtina, since their movements are limited within the Chateau.

Abbas, meanwhile, recently agreed to have his Fatah political party join a new government dominated by Hamas, which is dedicated to Israel's destruction.
