More Good News

There's more good news out of Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said he is "very pleased" with measures Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has taken to lessen the threat of violence.

Mr Sharon said conditions were right for a "historic breakthrough" between Israel and the Palestinians.

Mr Abbas has brokered a temporary ceasefire with militants and banned Palestinians from carrying weapons.

Not all the news in the article is good, but this just strengthens what many of us in conservative circles have been saying for a long time: Yasser Arafat was the problem, not the solution.
