Some rare good news from Middle East

There has been some real movement of late on the peace front between Israel and her neighbors; a truce with Hamas, dealing with Hezbollah, back door negotiations with Syria and pushing talks with Lebanon. Olmert, despite his problems, appears to be really making a go of this and he is getting help from Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt. After so many failures and disappointments on this issue, I feel almost foolish for even thinking that this flurry of diplomacy might actually lead to something concrete, but hey, at least they are not shooting at each other.
