A United Front…For ONCE

…could be a very powerful statement to everyone: directly involved or otherwise.

Closing ranks against Hamas, Egypt’s president invited Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian leaders to a peace summit, officials said Thursday, the biggest show of support yet by moderate Arab states for beleaguered Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The meeting will take place Monday in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, said Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisin. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has invited Abbas, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Jordan’s King Abdullah II. Jordan confirmed Abdullah would attend.

    Let’s hope el-Sheikh doesn’t get the el-Sadat treatment.

    As I consider that assassination one of the true tragedies/travesties of the modern age, that would truly be el-Shame-o.

    Maybe Jimmeh will grab a rifle and get down in the trenches with his Hamas buddies.
