The one thing, as I wrote in that piece, that all Iraqis agree on is that the Democratic experiment, though it has brought them freedoms that they yearned for, for so long, has done absolutely nothing to stem the tide of the war. JAMES BAKER, IRAQ STUDY GROUP CHAIRMAN: Well, I think that's disappointing, if that's indeed what he said. We'll take a quick break. BLITZER: I want Lee Hamilton to weigh in as well, because, you know, you're getting negative reaction from all the key groups in Iraq. But let's remember, we have everyone in Iraq, and we don't have enough eyes and ears on the ground in Iran, in North Korea -- very hard targets -- in Lebanon and in the other trouble spots of the world.

Apart from all those already mentioned above, Shimon Prokupecz had also been featured in several other CNN programs, and shows such as CNN Newsroom, CNN Saturday, At This Hour as well as The Lead with Jake Tapper podcast and Anderson Cooper 360. BLITZER: So you don't want to say whether or not you believe in a two-state solution, Israel and Palestine? He knows this. There's no area of the world that caused us more heartburn than the Middle East over a period of years. (END VIDEO CLIP) BLITZER: All right. And it's not going to be solved, frankly, by resort to politics as usual. And we are trying to propose here not just a solution for Iraq but a comprehensive, diplomatic strategy that would begin to deal with all of the problems in that region. To not have dialogue with either country I think is a mistake. AL-HAKIM (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): This is also an inaccurate statement, because we have a strong relationship with Iran, as well as we have a strong relationship with the United States. Which barrel has the shell? (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (NEWSBREAK) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) BLITZER: Welcome back to "Late Edition." The troops are the chessmen and women on the board who get moved around for policy or somebody's political cover and so forth. BLITZER: We have to leave it right there. His career began as a paralegal at the District Attorney's Office in his home town. Listen to this. I put this issue to the former Israeli prime minister, the current vice premier, Shimon Peres, when we spoke here earlier. It is where the Sunnis and Shias, kind of, come together.
