1. Blessed are the Peacemakers

After all the chaos, destruction, displacement, and death we have caused in the Middle East, it is time for our just desserts - a HUGE helping of humble pie. Time to eat some real crow or as we said in the Army, time to suck it up and drive on. That the USA would not be viewed as the primary recipient of credit for this peace process is only fitting as we are the primary cause of all this trouble. If I remember correctly, Assad was our buddy when we needed some torture, er enhanced interrogation conducted on our behalf. I also think we should send Cheney and Rumsfeld as our emissaries to meet with al Qaeda 3.0 (ISIS), preferably in their underwear. Obviously, these two are strikingly expert in their understanding of Arab and Persian culture. After all, they have both proven to be so extremely competent in their management of our invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. What could be more important than peace (according to Shrub one answer is money)? What in the hell did the people of Iraq ever do to the people of the United States? Give peace a chance, please.
