Now that Arafat is dead, Peace can rear its head.
Mid-East talks raise peace hopes
Wednesday, 26 January, 2005, 15:41 GMT
Israeli and Palestinian officials have met in Jerusalem amid what appear to be improving ties between the two sides.
Top Israeli adviser Dov Weisglass held talks with Palestinian Negotiations Minister Saeb Erekat, officials said.
It follows Israeli PM Ariel Sharon's decision to lift a ban on diplomatic contacts, and may lead to a summit with new Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Sharon was NEVER an obstacle to peace, Arafat was. He is gone and poof, things start to go right for a change.
Why am I not surprised?
