Threesome with Israel and Palestine

Dear Diary,

Today was a momentous day in history. Yours truly met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas... together... all three of us.

I know! It is the first time since 2003 that a US diplomate has brought these two sides together!

I'm not going to say too much because I don't want to get my hopes up, but the meeting was useful and productive. You know, in spite of things like Hamas' government charter calling for the destruction of Israel and Israel continuously building new settlements in the West Bank.... That kind of stuff.

I'm feeling pretty good about things.
