Before Sadat it seemed that there was no chance of any Arab state ever recognizing Israel. After Sadat came there entered a new stage in which there was a sense that peace would eventually come. Then came Oslo which for some meant Peace had come and for others meant there was worse to come. Unfortunately the pessimists were right. Now the world has changed dramatically with the rise of Radical Fundamentalist Islam . And real 'Peace' seems farther away than ever. This is of course not the end of the story. But now it would seem an Arab world increasingly dominated by Radical Islamic ideology is just not in the peace- making game at all. I think of three stages.
