While Abbas Was In Annapolis . . .
 While Mahmoud Abbas was on his way to Annapolis, Washington Times reporter Paul Martin spent time with a Gaza rocket crew allied with Israel's negotiating partner:
Abu Haroon, a black-clad bearded militant from the Fatah-affiliated Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, placed a Kalashnikov automatic rifle in the hands of his nephew. The rifle was twice as big as the child.
"Remember, as I may not be coming back: Learn to use this against the enemy one day," he said, giving the boy a farewell cuddle.
"I am proud of you, my son. Sometimes, it is necessary to kill," said Haroon, handing his son dates freshly picked from the tree towering over a small house in this densely populated town — one of the main centers of clashes in the intifada that started seven years ago.
Now that the sides are committed to negotiating, will the Palestinians finally Teach Kids Peace?

Until the Palestinians teach their children not to hate, peace will not come. These peace talks are only political rhetortic - wholly lacking substance or meaning.
