Israel and Syria -- Talking!

John McCain may not want to talk with Syria, but apparently the Israeli's are, with the help of Turkey. Now these talks may not go anywhere, but if Syria can be pried loose from Iran - -a nation with whom they have major disagreements on the role of religion, etc, that could be a boon for peace and a limit on Iran's power in the region.

Of course the issues here revolve around land and water, but if resolved, the result could have major ramifications for places like Lebanon and even the Palestinian territories. Whether Israel can sustain these talks is unknown, but we'll have to pray that they proceed to a just and fair conclusion.
