I've Been Thinking:

It looks like the Annapolis Conference is ready to go.
It looks like the invitations will be specially hand delivered by Condi Rice when she returns to the region early next week.

The program looks like this:
Monday, November 26th, dinner in Washington, DC with President Bush.
Tuesday, November 27th, off to Annapolis.
It's a 35-45 minute trip, expect it to take an hour.

There will be speeches and a joint statement/document will be read.
The document will cover issues of common ground between Israel and the Palestinians.
The document will proscribe future steps aimed at fulfilling the Road Map.
The entire program will be very short.

The hope of all the parties is that the conference will set in motion a series of events that will provide the groundwork for a step-by-step resolution of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

One of the hanging points, as of this writing, is whether the Palestinians will recognize Israel as the Jewish State.
To me, that still looks like castles in the air.
