for the israeli palestinian conflict. hate-filled speeches and end runs around negotiations take us nowhere. ultimately peace will not be achieved without leaders with courage. king hussein of jordan was another such leader. in 1994 he ended 46 years of war and entered into a peace agreement with israel that holds to this day. when king hussein signed the peace treaty, he said this, quote, these are moments in which we live, the past and the future, when we come to live next to each other as never before, we will be doing so, israelis and jordanians, together without the need for any to observe our actions or supervise our endeavors. this is peace with dignity. this is peace with commitment.

in fact, i was getting calls from democrats criticizing him. i have always heard about the advise and consent role of the congress. so far they have been a little stronger on the advice than they have the consent. carter inherits a financial mess, and there was no magic wand to cure it all. he needed a big feather in his cap quickly. it s almost a white house cliche that when a president is in trouble at home, his counselors advise a trip abroad. a president on the road. his first overseas trip to the middle east and western europe. mr. carter met not only with anwar sadat of egypt but king hussein of jordan, king khalid of saudi arabia and the shah of iran. the united states had always backed the shah of iran and that goes back to 1953, in fact, when america essentially put the shah into power. iran is an island of stability and one of the more
