THE best description I have seen of this week's London conference on the new Palestinian state came from columnist Jim Hoagland in the Washington Post, who wrote that Tony Blair had, in effect, created a road map for getting back to the original road map' peace plan for a two-state solution to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Mr Blair modestly described the meeting as a chance to put down the foundations for helping the Palestinians to play their part in reaching that solution. He deserves credit for bringing the meeting about in the face of opposition from Israel and only luke-warm support from President Bush. Although Condoleezza Rice attended the meeting she chose to devote much of her speech to America's issue of the moment, Syria.
