I was just watching a rerun of an AEI seminar with Frum, Perle, and the Media on their book from earlier this week. Based on what I heard, Frum has got some interesting columns coming this month. Egypt? Cut off the two Billion. Israel/Pal? Doesn't make any difference what we do, pro or con, the Islamists will still hate us.

Sharon suggests peace talks with Syria Sun 11 January, 2004 18:06 JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon says he is ready for peace talks with Syria, but only if Damascus halts support for "terrorist agents". Negotiations between the two countries, technically still at war, collapsed in 2000. But Syria has recently urged the United States to help revive them. "I believe that what should be done is that Syria should stop the help and support for terrorist agents and if that happens I believe Israel will be ready," Sharon told foreign correspondents in Jerusalem on Sunday. Sharon said despite Syria's apparent peace overtures, it continued to help Hizbollah, a Lebanese group on the U.S. list of terrorist organisations. Israeli military sources say Syria or its Hizbollah allies have a hand in nearly all Palestinian militant attacks on Israelis and that Syria is determined to scupper any attempt to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict peacefully. The sources say Syrian planes that flew aid to earthquake-struck Iran last month returned with arms for Hizbollah. Iran has denied the allegations. U.S.-sponsored peace talks between Israel and Syria collapsed over the issue of how much of the Golan Heights, seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war, would be returned. Syria wants all of the heights, but Israel sees the territory as strategically important for controlling the Sea of Galilee, its biggest reservoir. reuters.co.uk
