This should be an early charge on Mr Barack Obama when he is sworn in on Monday. He has already announced his determination to end the war in Iraq and make US foreign policy more than only a ‘war on terror’. To live down his predecessor’s disastrous legacy, he must also ensure that the 1967 Arab-Israel war is at last given burial, which means returning to their owners the conquered Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza. Only then can there be any hope of meeting the two conditions for peace — secure borders for Israel and a viable Palestinian state — that British Prime Minister Gordon Brown mentions.
