Progress Toward Peace in Middle East?

Not sure... but perhaps it isn't worsening as it has with each and every passing day.

Hezbollah supposedly has agreed to at least the concept of an international force in Southern Lebanon which is not U.S. dominated or entirely under Israel's thumb (I question whether both of these are possible considering how both players try to rule); Rice says she's encouraged (and I'm rarely encouraged by anything that pleases her).

The Washington Post details how Lebanese christians are taking in Muslims uprooted from their homes in Lebanon by the air and ground attacks from Israel.
