Good news

Maybe it’s because of Halloween, but there are some surprisingly good developments in international news stories today:

Bush thanks Chinese

Hizbullah confirms (indirect) talks with Israel

Let’s hope that tomorrow, when the costumes come off and the partying is over, people continue working together to solve complex security issues and the news remains positive. Ok, ok, so Halloween isn’t global, but you know what I mean; we often act more like ourselves when we can find solace in another persona.

Then again, maybe it is global:

Two sharp-eyed Germans saw what they thought were masked bank robbers in a car with tinted windows in front of a bank and called police, but the occupants turned out not to be thieves but children in Halloween masks.
