Gosh, even after Iran?

Israeli Prime Minister Olmert opened the latest session of the Knesset by inviting Lebanese Prime Minister Saniora, the “moderate” whose army is supposed to help protect Israel from future attacks by Hezbollah, to enter into peace talks. According to the Jerusalem Post, Saniora rebuffed Olmert’s offer within hours, promising that Lebanon would be “the last Arab state to sign a peace treaty with Israel.”
CORRECTION: As I’m sure many readers noticed, and as I realized with horror when I woke up this morning, Iran is not an Arab country. Thanks to all who, I don’t doubt, have written to point this out.
