| We cannot change the past, however, we can shape our future." - Shimon Peres True, but you have to accept the idea that the future can be changed. I guess it looks that way to Peres, who is in a meeting with people of many faiths and nationalities today. One of the few things accomplished (unintentionally) by Bush has been to make the House of Saud aware that it must take a leading role in efforts for peace and against terrorism in the region. The change has been low-key, but breath taking in it`s scope. Including meeting with, yes, Jews. The knee-jerk response of extremists on both sides is that peace is impossible. Yet is has been creeping up on the region for some time. Saudi is wealthy and `the keeper of the two mosques` has some moral authority. And there is no doubt about what the king of Saudi wants to see. A lot less instability and upheaval in the middle east. His interest is not so much humanitarian as self-preservation. Still, it is welcome. |
