OK, so we are supposed to be on the "road to peace" now. Ha, wishful thinking guys!! There ain't no such animal in the Middle East. It may look like it, but it's not.
Look at Irak after the elections and you'll feel better for a while. And by the way, take off your hat to President Bush on that one. It will keep for some time. Not for long though. Democracy is something they will not tolerate. A king or an ayatollah would be more suitable.
Iran is trying to show its best smiling face and that one is even worse than the real one. Watch out for the hidden hand with the stone - or the bomb.
The Palestinians and the Israelis are shaking hands and smiling at each other. That one will hold less water than the other two. They'll be at each other throats in no time at all. They have been at it for so long they are afraid to cut the tradition.
When will it get better?
Your guess is as good as mine.
