#15 Arab Leaders Ready to Accept Israel?

At the end of a Spanish-Arab conference in Madrid, the Foreign Ministers of seven Arab countries (Syria, Yemen, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Tunisia) issued a joint statement expressing their desire to "advance together toward recognition and normalization of relations with Israel." In the statement, the officials expressed their hope that the Mecca agreement signed between rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah would lead to the establishment of a national unity government in the Palestinian Authority, "which could contribute to finding a solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." If meaningful, this is an extremely welcome step to creating a more sensible mind frame in the tumultuous region.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seven Arab Countries create a bold statement endorsing a Solid Peace Proposal with Isreal. That is significant!

That should send a clear message
to Iran's Ayatollah Khameini, his stooge Ahmadinejad,
plus Hezbollah Terrorist Nasrullah, that any more threatening moves at neighboring Israel is likely to strenghten the newly formed Arab Coalition, and consolidate a great new hope for an Israeli/Palestinian rapproachement.

This deserves closer scrutiny than it's getting in the region, and also in the U.S.A.

We are happy to direct attention to your well-regarded 'Weekend Economist' and its Supplemental, Beyond.

SNAKE HUNTERS ALERT~03/03/07

Most of us are familiar with Colorado's "Nutty Professor" Ward Churchill, and his anti-government rantings.

Here's another. This guy is more vicious, and deserves a closer look.

Dr. Julio Pino, Cuban Muslim, and a
Kent State History Professor. Also,
he's a passionate Jihadi Terrorist. Find him in Yahoo Search. Stay Alert! reb
