Back to the Middle East?

No link to his source yet, but Drudge has a photo of B16 in top position with this huge, screaming headline:

REPORT: ABBAS INVITES POPE TO VISIT PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

And you thought it was interesting before?

If Benedict went, the fall out would be terrible.

Why is this even news? Of course Abbas was going to invite the Pope to visit at some point. John Paul II visited Bethlehem and met with Arafat during his 2000 Middle East trip, and received Arafat at the Vatican many times. Abbas is a hell of a lot more palatable than Arafat, and if things remain calm in the Middle East after the Gaza withdrawal, a trip could be possible. But visiting Israel would also have to be part of the itinerary.

Dpn't hold your breath, Rocco

Drudge seldom has sources in the accepted sense of that word.
