I quite disagree with Yoel.  Mr.  Barenboim is not a politician.  He
has only those tools he was given to do the best that he can to make
the world a bit of a better place. If for a couple of hours, he produces
beautiful music and spreads peace for even that short time, then he is
anything but irrelevant.  It would seem to me, that in a war torn place
like the west bank, that even two hours of tranquility would be a blessing
indeed.  Viva Mr.  Barenboim.
