The American Thinker has an article evaluating where we are 30 years after Camp David. It's interesting reading; here are the 'money' paragraphs.
The enemy cannot be vanquished by treaties or by governments alone. Our enemy is an infection of the soul. It spreads like a plague through the streets of Cairo, whatever Mubarak may say or think, just like it spreads through the streets of Chicago where the pals of very lucky community organizers preach in churches that America be damned. This global disease destroys the hosts who carry its sickness. Witch doctors tells its victims that black magic causes the suffering of this sickness, and the spell against them has been cast by ordinary people in Texas or Tel-Aviv or by people who pray to Christ or read the Torah.
Somehow we must break the power of these witch doctors or every Camp David will become, over the years, a Munich. We must cure the infection and heal the soul-sickness. Now, today, we celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Camp David. It was supposed to bring peace and, for now, it did - or rather it quarantined a patch of war. Over time, though, Camp David is not enough. It never could be and it never will.
Remember, always, Reagan. We found a way to live with Soviet tyranny, if you can call the Cold War "living." Our greatest president signed treaties and protocols and agreements, just like other presidents, but he did more: He championed truth and he sought to defeat lies. A war we never thought could be won was utterly won in less than a decade, but not through any formal agreement.
Our enemy, the soul sickness which haunts our world, is not Islam or even Marxism, per se. Those who hate us in Europe have no God, much less an Allah. They know the sham of Marx and saw the grim silliness of living Communism. The food for their fever is not the Quran or Das Kapital, but rather a virus which devours their conscience and short circuits their brain. We, the healthy and the sane, must cure them. If Reagan were here now, he would tell us so.
When someone is sick, he thinks that pain relievers like Camp David are cures. Morphine and aspirin have their place in a doctor's bag, but they cannot replace penicillin. And any doctor who mistakes an analgesic with an antibiotic does.
