Peace in our time

"Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that Hamas is prepared to
accept peace with Israel if the Palestinians approve any agreement
negotiated with Israel.

Carter's comments came after controversial meetings Friday and
Saturday in Damascus, Syria, with exiled militant Hamas leader Khalid
Meshaal.

"If President (Mahmoud) Abbas of the Palestinians and Prime Minister
(Ehud) Olmert reach an agreement for peace, and if it is submitted to
the Palestinians and the Palestinians approve it... Hamas will accept
it," Carter said in a Monday interview with CNN."




This smacks of Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our time" speech after
meeting with Hitler.
