Photo Op

One of the most interesting photos to come out of last week's news, I think, was the shot of George W. getting Ohlmert and Abbas to shakes hands at the conference in Annapolis.

It seemed to be an attempt to recreate two of the most-iconic peacemaking handshake images: Clinton with Rabin and Arafat, Carter with Begin and Sadat.

Our wartime president is suddenly trying to earn his stripes as a peacemaker.

Good luck with that George. I hope it works. Really.

One thing I would point out, however. Clinton and Carter had their respective parties shaking hands after the peace deals were signed. You still have a long way to go.
