Today was an historic day. Prime Minister Rosenberg of Israel, and president Yousafzai of Pakistan were coming to Camp David to talk about a potential alliance. Both leaders knew that this was perhaps essential for the survival of both peoples. But after all the decades of tension, both nations had very loud opponents of any such alliance. The possibility that Rosenberg and/or Yousafzai might be assasinated for this was very real. Anwar Sadat had been assasinated for making peace with Israel, Yitzak Rabin was assasinated for trying to make peace with the PLO. But the peace between Israel and Egypt had held for over 40 years. And Rabin's peace initiatives laid the groundwork for an eventual two state solution. Even after Rabin's sacrifice peace had seemed elusive many times. But now it had become a reality for almost a decade. Israel and Palestine were now living side by side in peace. This proposed alliance might not be easy, so far the negotiations had proven exceedingly frustrating. But it seemed worth it if it could perhaps put the final nail in the coffin of Alqueda. Terrorism had been around for many centuries, it might exist until the end of the human race. But president Parker and secretary Donovan seemed optimistic that perhaps this could give the world a generation or more of world peace. But they knew there would always be those oppossed to peace and harmony. While they tried to help the governments of Israel and Pakistn work out the details of peace, in Cuba, two terrorists plotted to assasinate the peacemakers. Atal and Mahmoud knew that Parker and Donovan were coming to Cuba in six days for a aseball game. They hoped that their deaths could derail the peace initiative. And even if it failed, they would make these american leaders pay for this unholy alliance.
