The New Cold War
Russia's unprovoked attack on the country of Georgia is something that is upseting, but it should not be a shock. Russia has also sided with Iran in helping support its nuclear ambitions and has come out against America's new missle defense system that is being built in Eastern Europe. On the flip side, America and Israel continue there strong relationship (for the most part) but also both support the state of Georgia. Then, with France and the United Kingdom on the side with Israel and America and all being against the Iranians nuclear program, it all appears to be setting up to become another East v. West with the Middle East being the main battleground.
Jordan and Hamas are talking?!
The Jerusalem Post is reporting that the country of Jordan and the terrorist group Hamas have been engaging in "security talks." As some of you may know, Jordan is one of two countries (the other being Egypt) to have a peace agreement with Egypt.
What makes this interesting that Fatah doesn't seem to be a part of these discussions despite Jordan wanting to negociate a peace between the Fatah and Hamas organizations and then peace with the Palestinian Authority with Israel and supporting President Bush's "Roadmap." Where is Fatah? Am I the only one who finds this slightely puzzling?
