Look Who's Back
Lame-duck Secretary of State Colin Powell has returned to Israel to help out:
"This is a moment of opportunity ... The big step ahead of us now is to assist the Palestinian people getting ready for the (Jan. 9) election," outgoing US Secretary of State he told reporters aboard his plane en route to Israel Sunday, Reuters reported.
See, and here I was thinking that the big step ahead of us now was to convince the Palestinian people that they should stop trying to kill Jews:
Since the beginning of September the Shin Bet and security forces have thwarted 33 terror attacks that were on the verge of penetration into Israel, a Shin Bet report released on Sunday revealed. So far this month, seven attacks were thwarted.
But maybe the Palestinians aren't really ready for such a big step yet. Besides, Powell has more important diplomatic priorities to attend to.
