A Ray of Sunshine

As our commenters have been busy pointing out, we're a bunch of GOP hating liberals over here. But even so, this is very good news:

Israel and the Palestinian Authority clinched a rare agreement and settled a bitter dispute today when they resolved to allow Palestinians to travel in and out of the Gaza Strip with relative freedom.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced the deal after mediating marathon negotiations that lasted through the night.

There is, of course, a long way still to go before real peace is achieved between Israel and Palestine, but this seems like a good step forward.
