"JERUSALEM -- Israel freed 500 Palestinian prisoners in a goodwill gesture Monday and President Bush pledged to support efforts to resolve the conflict, saying peace based on a two-state solution was within reach."
No one knows what is going to happen in the Mid-East. I am one who is still a bit incredulous. I do not trust the Palestinians. They have maintained a culture of deception and betrayal, thanks to the impactful leadership of Don Arafat. They have turned back on their word before. This time may be different. Abbas may be Arafat-ish, but he is not Arafat. I don't know if anyone has given Sharon the credit he deserves. He may be the most significant factor in the whole process. History may prove the strong stand he has taken against his own government and against the terrorists is the right policy. I hope it all turns out well, and violence-less.
