Pay Close Attention

In the headlines over the next several weeks, we might see something along the lines of - Peace in the Middle East? And it may not be a complete joke.

Stratfor explains why.

Outline of present issues (details in article):

Syria and Israel are talking about a peace deal.

Iran and the US are working together on Iraq and seeing progress.

Traditionally disruptive great powers - such as Russia and China - are preoccupied with other concerns for the moment.

Israel has made peace deals with Egypt and Jordan and truce with Hamas.

Iran's pursuit of nukes and long range missiles might be a counterweight to the tackling of Hezbollah by Syria, per a peace deal with Israel.

I know it's not worth getting one's hopes up...yet...
