there is a framework between israel and egypt were afterwards the lawyers worked out details.t is exactly what is necessary here. it is an end to the conflict it i think that is the right structure and i think it is the right approach. the problem is that the israelis are ready. netanyahu is ready but whether any palestinian leader will sign the agreement, i doubt it. >> it is the question but i give mahmoud abbas great credit for putting that together. that is his own political future. he is possibly putting his own life on the library also give, reluctantly, mr. netanyahu credit. when the terrorist attack occurred and four israelis were killed, that in the past would have been the excuse for ending talks. the fact that he went beyond that and said the talks and the and the mission is the most important, i think that says the seriousness of this and it is like nixon going to china, i hope. >> i think you have to have more participation by the saudis. i think you have to have the jordanians step up. you have to have the arab world deal with this problem of a moderate if they d

it wasn't a drawing but a doctored photo that caught up with egypt's president. two weeks ago, hosni mubarak was at the middle east peace talks at the white house. later, egypt's state-run newspaper ran a photo that showed mubarak walking ahead of the other leaders as if he were heading the talks. but then a blogger found this photo taken by the white house press corps. it turns out mubarak was actually behind everyone else. the newspaper had no explanation but removed the doctored photo from its web site. hybrid and electric cars are all the rage these days, but in washington today, a car that runs on ordinary gas or ethanol won a $5 million prize for high-mileage vehicles. it's called the very light car, appropriate since it weighs just 830 pounds, about a third of a regular car. it can carry four people and get 102 miles per gallon from its one-cylinder engine. now the question for the ages -- what is the price for love? british researchers claim to have the answer. they say unattached singles typically have an inner circle of five close friends but when they

east, for the past 100 years everything has happened in the middle east either in iran, turkey or egypt. read the bible. read herodotus. the two two canonical texts about civilization. in the bible, there is no nation that plays a more significant role in the freedom of jews, in the building of jerusalem than persians. iran is not two-bit hustlers who rule the country now. iran is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. it has produced hafez. it has produced cyrus, and in the 20th century it is the bell weather state for the middle east. you are very right to like it. >> i sometimes think, charlie, iran is like classical music or wine. it's just something that is so complex and so deep and has so many layers, and when i read my own name in the press referred to as an iran expert i cringe, because i think that no one can be an expert on this country, it is so profoundly deep. >> charlie: haleh, i'll leave the last word to you. >> you are talking with someone who is in love with the flora and fauna of iran and feels to this day very betrayed by being arrested and put in jail by the
