while it doesn't guarantee any results, this is good news. objecting to israel even exploring reconciliation with syria has always one of the more ludicrous positions taken by the bush administration. after all, the u.s. has diplomatic relations with syria, why can't israel have the same? the broad outlines of a peace deal have been floating around for a while. other than the administration's knee-jerk hostility towards syria, there's no reason to shut down any possibility of ending the state of war between those two countries.
