	You are absolutely right when you say that the CD Accords have not 
been fully implemented, but the issues have more to do with Egyptian 
unwilligness than with the Palestians, the Jordanians, or the Martians.  The
primary purpose of the CD Accords was the return of the Sinai to Egypt in 
return for "peace", and the sections on the "autonomy" were essentially a fig
leaf for Sadat.  In addition, you very conveniently ignore the fact that the 
Palestinians rejected the CD Accords, out of hand.  So who was Israel supposed to
have negociated with, themselves?

	Wrong.  We paid for a reduction of tension in the Middle East, and we 
got just that.  I doubt that even Carter would have been stupid enough to want
a Palestinian state west of the Jordan.
