Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert invited Arab leaders Sunday to a regional peace conference, saying that he would look there for an exchange of
views about solving the Mideast conflict.

Last week at a summit in Saudi Arabia, the Arab League renewed a 2002 Saudi peace plan that would give Israel recognition in exchange for withdrawal
from all captured territories and a just solution for the Palestinian refugees.

Personnally, I believe that it won't make a difference, the conflicts will go on atleast for another 1-2 years. What do you guys think?

1-2 Years???
You Are Optimist in my opinion
With the Iraq, Iran and Israeli-Palestine Situation I think we will have Much more destructive conflicts in the region
Even if in my opinion the Worst Conflict to come with be a limited nuclear confrontation between India and Pakistan following a coup against Musharraf

Once the ME "lights-up" will there be anything left worth talking about - let alone talking peace among peoples? Pandora's box. I think it's a
done deal already.
My cynical "bet" is next Friday about 2PM Tehran time we'll have a pretty good idea if peace can be talked about. It's gotta happen. Even if she
doesn't blow... Peace? Real peace between peoples? Not gonna happen. I don't like any of it. Tick, tick, tick.

Israel is finished. Any Jews living over there should get out while they still can.

While there is still time to talk, there is still time for peace.
The Saudi's have their own agenda, but if they can at least start a dialogue of peace in the ME then I applaud it.
As far as Israel is concerned, a return to the 1967 borders could only be achieved with World Wide agreement that if they are attacked again the
offenders would find their cities turned to glass, no questions asked. If Israel gets that sort of backing from the west, then peace has a chance.

Quite frankly, I see this conflict as having started back during the crusades... sure there have been times of relative peace, but it's really the
same damn struggle.
1 to 2 years is very optimistic.
I'd say it could take another 100 or so, maybe more, maybe less.

No chance of peace in the middle east ever or anywhere for that matter.
For the people engaging in this war it has transcend into a metaphysical war between good and evil. There can be no winners only losers.
If we had of only listened to the hippies. To late now. Everything is spiraling out of control because so many believe that these wars are Biblical
prophesy and they welcome the apocalypse.
It's a brave new world, welcome to the monkey house!!!!

I know I am being optimistic, but maybe when they finally realize that what the're doing is pointless and look at where the Earth is headed, total
destruction, I think they might put some 'stuff' aside for a while. And yes, in about 2 years, if this continues, we will be headed for a human
extinction.

Israel would never agree to that. The 1967 borders leaves Jerusalem outside of Israel. Jews want the Temple Mount more than any other piece of land.
They will not willingly give it up, and they have nukes to back up their arrogance and obstinance.

The proposal in question has been on his desk in the current form since 2002 - and the Arabs have been offering a peace conference a couple of times a
year since it was first penned. He has refused them at every turn thusfar.
Why now?
