MIDDLE EAST PEACE: LET THE PAST BE GONE

SHELLY RICHARDSON

Indirect middle east peace talks have started again after being stalled 16 months. United States Middle East envoy George Mitchell has been meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, trying to broker an agreement that will bring peace to these two peoples.

Some believe Middle East peace is a lost cause, but others think peace propects have never been better. Salam Fayyad is focused on creating a future for a Palestinian state. He rejects "victimhood" and, in a departure from some past Palestinian leaders, believes that nonviolence is the only path to peace.
