PEACE AROUND THE CLOCK =====================

Emilio Costa Manso ------------------

Men that fought in the war are the men with authority to do the peace.

The theory is taking placed practice again in Old Middle East, full of war and new of peace. The Syrian leader Hafez Assad was minister of the Defense when his country lost the Golan Hills for Israel in 1967. Israel want to give back the Golan Hills to Syria , but the refund price ( the Jews always have one ) is the peace.

All they are saying is give peace to Golan Hills.

Hafez Assad needs to decide if it's good to him to take the same train ( last train to peace station ) with Egyptian Sadat, the new Hussein, and the Palastinian Arafat which has as machinists, Begin and Rabin from Israel.

The companion of Hafez Assad in this trip is the first-minister Ehud Barak, the honored soldier of the Israel History and when he was a youth member of the elite forces he participated of secret missions behind the enemy lines.

The end of the war state among the two countries perhaps is still distant, but with the retaking of peace negotiations this week in Washington, (DC) mediated by president Bill Clinton, ( the casino owner that will take the final curtain ), show to us that never both were so close and almost shake hands friends

Barak never hid his disposition to dialoguing with Hafez Assad and he has a remaining legitimacy acquired of his mentor Yitzhak Rabin, murdered in 1995 when he had started to invest diplomacy on Syrian War Front.

As any leader of his country, belligerent or conciliatory, Barak knows that an agreement with Damascus is the key for the peace in Middle East and an agreement with Syria extends to Lebanon and Israel closes like this a circle of agreements with country neighbors.

Hafez Assad kows that the urgency derives of the tick-tack of his biological and political clock and near 69 years, he have a weakened health and he prepares the son Bashar to take his place in the future.

Syria is a dictatorship and not a monarchy.

The Assad's exit of scene will opens an era of uncertainties.

This is the reason Assad be hurry and Israel also wants to hurry the step because a new leader in Damascus perhaps doesn't have the Assad's implacable authority and sagacious.

Israel is a tumultuated democracy, but Barak has a faith that in the end of the bills he drags it divided country for his peace day with Syria.

Assad doesn't need to consult the bases, because his dilemma is to reconcile without giving the impression that is warping to Israel political objectives and American also. For his historical effort, Hafez Hassad, the dictator from Damascus, deserves a trust vote.

Who knows we found some day. Bill Harley and his Comets ( an old american rock band ) sung a peace song on Golan Hills ?
