Haaretz is reporting that Israel and Syria formulated an understanding for a peace agreement in secret meetings between Sept 04 and July 06. It includes a phased return of the Golan to Syria, a demilitarized border zone, and water rights for Israel. Too bad Bush is too anxious to expand his war...

Time for a bit of non-controvertial good news in this forum inhabited by sourpusses. Just saw a short clip on TV regarding this year's recepient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Economist Professor Muhammad Yunus. I was impressed and googled a bit, finding among other things his acceptance speech...

Ok. Here's what we do. We make Rana Raslan, an Arab and former Miss Israel, the "Queen of the Two States." We find a "King," a Jewish guy, to mate with her. (Could be me, or anybody else.
