I've Been Thinking:

Al Jarida, a Kuwaiti newspaper, has scooped a story that I cannot confirm - but if it is true, it is a move that will alter the face of the Middle East and the world.

In the Friday edition of the paper it was reported that George Bush asked Abbas to deliver a private letter to Assad of Syria.
None of the teams knew about this, it was to be a completely private arrangement.

According to the report, the letter stated that Syria would get everything Syria wants in a Golan Heights deal in exchange for publicly denouncing Iran.
It said that Syria must back away entirely from any relationship with Iran.
It said that all this can happen very fast.
It said that it can happen before the November 4th US presidential elections.

Everyone has denied the report.
But it sounds within the realm of possible.
Israel and Syria are getting close to a deal.
A push from the United States can bring an Israel/Syria deal to a close more easily than an Israel/Palestinian deal.

The problem is not Israel, Syria or the Golan Heights.
The problem is Iran.
