Annapolis will not mean peace in our time. But it could be a meaningful step toward peace in someone else’s time.
Michelle Malkin has links.
Update: Jules Crittenden has posted a Stratfor analysis in full.

Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
Yesterday, reading the reactions to the creation of embryonic stem cell-like cells from adult tissue, I was thinking how disappointed a lot of people seemed, like they prefer conflict to a solution. A few of your links, especially Michelle Malkin's, give the same impression.
I'm not holding my breath for either the stem cells or Annapolis to work out, but still...
Anyway, there's plenty of available commentary in English, for and against, from people who actually know something about Israel. Who cares what Jules Crittenden or Frank Gaffney thinks?
The Stratfor analysis, on the other hand, is quite solid.
From Abbas' address:
"Each one of you has his own her own personal pain, personal tragedy as a result of this conflict and as a result of the years of tragedy and occupation," said President Abbas. "These are very bitter years. Don't be depressed, don't lose confidence and hope, for the whole world today now is stretching its hand towards us in order to help us put and end to our tragedy, to our holocaust that has been running for too long."

I keep having visions of Munich and "Peace in our time" running through my head........
