[Note: A curiousity is that Dr. Solana will be spending his birthday (07/14) visiting the "occupied" territories.] <p></p><i></i>

This was Solana's speech back in June. He has everything under control. My belief is that Blair and Solana may be working together. If not, then it is going to be bumpy, maybe a horn plucked. Only time will tell.<br>

Jerusalem? Babylon? Other? <br>

I think it will have to be one in Israel or West Bank. Jerusalem is a good guess. Ramalah could be another. Don't think Babylon. Only time will tell.<br>

I have heard Ramallah or Jericho. I believe I started a topic earlier this week with the link. <p></p><i></i>

...I also noticed that Solana spent the first<br>
day of the new year in the Middle East with<br>
the Palestinian leader & now he will be<br>
spending his birthday in the region too on<br>
July 14, the guy has his priorities... <p></p><i></i>
