28 August 2007 - Peace warning!

News media are reporting that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas are close to a deal. They met today to discuss, among other things, the three major final-status issues: Jerusalem, refugees, and borders. In celebration, and in continued credulity and hope, I am raising this (stolen) peace flag, which I will continue to do every time news of this sort emerges.
