Talking the talk
Larry Derfner and Khaled Abu Toameh, US News Original Article
There they were, the tough-minded Israeli prime minister and the newly elected Palestinian Authority president, smiling, shaking hands, and earnestly declaring a truce in the 4 1/2-year guerrilla war that has taken some 4,500 lives. Sure, Israelis and Palestinians have been down this road before, only to dead-end in disappointment or worse. Are there reasons to think this time might be different? To that question, the best answer is maybe.
