'I believe that there could be no greater legacy
for America than to help to bring into being a Palestinian state
for a people who have suffered too long, who have been humiliated
too long, who have not reached their potential for too long, and
who have so much to give to the international community and to all
of us. I promise you my personal commitment to that
goal.'
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, ATFP
