Foxnews: The Intifada May Be Over

Foxnews

[Dales]

Foxnews is reporting that Sharon and Abbas are meeting, and that the announcement of a formal cease-fire is imminent. They said this is 'not the start of peace but the start of the process that will lead to peace'.

Apparently Abbas and Sharon will continue peace talks throughout the day after the announcement.

My problem is that I'm just cynical about peace in the ME.

[SoFloFreeper]

Bush's foreign policy is clearly failing. Failing to encourage the terrorists, that is.

[Dales]

That's the problem with us conservatives-- we have this strange habit of, you know, learning from history.

Still, I am optimistic that something has changed, since something has changed (Arafat is dead).

Even the Anti-Christ makes a false peace with Israel.

It won't be over until after Evil is defeated forever.

The problem is, muslims don't keep their word, they will break any agreement, they will lie, they have no concept of what real honor means.

I know, I know.

Personally, I still don't understand why billions of tax money has to be spent on AIDS in Africa.
Or here, for that matter.

Seems that the Marxist government in SA should be paradise by now, and not be demanding $$$, let alone us giving it.

[CaptainK]

Somehow, someway. the MSM will credit Clintoon as the genesis of the peace process. Hell, they might even throw in Carter for good measure.

There is a passage in the Koran about Allah and his messenger dissoving all agreements.

Someone here must know it.

That is why they will continue to buld the wall.
I am sure Sharon does not actually trust them. He would be mad to. But at the same time he has to at least give a ceasefire ago. If it falls apart in two weeks time then nothing will have been lost. And Israel will have once again shown its willingness to try for peace.

[Ramcat]

Pray for peace.

[Dales]

I think it is the region and not the religion. The Muslims I have known and worked with were honorable.

[kingsurfer]

Pray for peace.

Let God sort it out, us humans have no hope.

[mainepatsfan]

Has John Kerry told us not to over hype this yet?

[tkathy]

Their religion preaches lying and cheating of non-Muslims.

[OldFriend]

I won't be holding my breath.

However, I will be praying that peace breaks out in the middle east.

Still, I am optimistic that something has changed, since something has changed (Arafat is dead).

Arafat id dead and 43 was re-elected.

If Arafat had died and John Kerry was president, it would be SSDD in the ME.

[Personal Responsibility]

I recall one of the Israeli leaders saying something like "A cease fire is where we cease and they fire". Someone else once said "The palestinians never miss a chance to miss a chance".

This is good news but after all this time it has to be treated with a healthy dose of skepticism.

[Nita Nupress]

Still, I am optimistic that something has changed, since something has changed (Arafat is dead).

No, it's a quagmire.

In fact, even this thread about the peace process is a quagmire.

I'll probably even have a quagmired day just reading about it.

You're not a Republican, are you?

Ya, and I have a beautiful piece of land in the Everglades for anyone interested and believes this story. The PA says one thing in English and quite another in Arabic.
