While in the Middle East this week, President Bush visited Capernaum, a site where Jesus is said to have performed miracles.
He must have been inspired because he predicted the signing of a Middle East peace treaty - within a year.
"I believe it's going to happen, that there's going to be a signed peace treaty by the time I leave office," he said.
Well it would be nothing short of a miracle if Bush could accomplish what other leaders haven't.
It's a lofty goal considering Bush still hasn't secured democracy in Iraq and hasn't been able to bring the troops home.
Bush needs a reality check. It would be amazing if the four-decade-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be settled.
But it's not likely to happen by the end of his term.
