Mideast Leaders Sharon, Abbas Hold Summit
(AP) - Israeli and Palestinian prime ministers discussed disagreements Thursday over security and Palestinian statehood that could complicate a Mideast peace offensive ahead of a summit next week with President Bush. Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas arrived at the Jerusalem office of his Israeli counterpart, Ariel Sharon, in a rare sandstorm brought on by wind from the Jordanian and Egyptian deserts. It was their second meeting in two weeks.

This report that the U.S. is offering a terrorist state money is absurd if its true. You'll never get rid of terrorism by buying them off. That even sounds ridiculous.
I had a reader email me the other day worried that we were on a command and conquer trip. She wanted to know where it would all end or were we going to attack every suspected terrorist country on the planet.
I'm for diplomacy, but I'm also for peace through strength, and where diplomacy has failed, strength has to be exhibited. And if that doesn't work, we must do what we feel is best for our countries future. If that means attacking and dismantling a future threat then so be it. In the long run, both Afghanistan and Iraq will be better off, actually, sooner than later.
I'm with Cal Thomas, conservative Fox analyst, who believes Israel is being talked into a roadmap that spells doom if not for the hand of God. To be truthful, the Lord is allowing this to happen to wake the world up and to see His mighty hand of deliverance. When the Russian/Arab attack does happen it will take a miracle to save them and the Lord will be right there to perform it. If you thought Iraq experienced shock and awe wait until this defeat is carried live. Things will happen during this battle in which the world has never witnessed.
