Tunisia won its independence with much less bloodshed than many countries in a similar situation. Bourguibas advocacy of moderation and gradualism in international affairs has made his country a fast friend of the United States. His approach to the tangled skein of the ArabIsraeli dispute in particular marks him as a true statesman. As early as 1965. he was clear sighted and courageous enough to exhort the Palestinian refugees and the Arab nations to negotiate a settlement with Israel. He saw that no progress for the Palestinians was possible without peace. and that no peace was possible without compromise. Still today.
