Israel and Syria announced today they have begun indirect talks to reach a "comprehensive peace" in the first formal negotiations between the two mutual enemies for eight years.

Israeli PM Ehud Olmert: "It is always better to talk than to shoot."

George Bush: "F**king appeasers. Bring it on."

John McCain: "All I know is they would never endorse me."

p.s.: Israel is also talking to Hamas. John McCain...is talking to himself. Or something.
