a chance for peace?
the death of Yasser Arafat has presented the Israeli government and Palestinian authority an opportunity to make peace in the troubled middle east region.
the Israeli govt can either initiate/ restart peace-talks with the Palestinian authority under a new leadership which will most probably be more receptive or they can take a hawkish attitude and continue with afew more years of conflict which does both sides no good economically, socially and psychologically.
the Palestinian authority has to consolidate it's party and strength and show the Israeli government that the new leadership is in control and not the extremists (Hamas..) before there can make any headway in the peace-talks.
if i remember correctly, it has been almost and exactly 3 years since the 'uprising' started becoz some cleric visit some mosque or temple on some sacred day...
but now, an opportunity has come to possibly end one of the world's longest on-going conflicts. and if it does happen, we can all take some comfort that in troubled days like these, peace can still be possible...
Ariel Sharon and Mahmoud Abbas, an opportunity has arise for them to be nominated as Nobel Peace Prize Winners for 2005...
lunch time, time to eat my ham emmental in a french croissant which i bought from the sandwich man =)
