Mitchell In As Mid-East Envoy

Despite the calls that he was "too fair" to possibly work for peace, George Mitchell was announced as the main envoy to the Middle East today. Richard Holbrooke has the Pakistan and Afghanistan envoy's job, and if he can pull off something like the Dayton accords there, I can forgive his past trespasses.

I'm getting the feeling that the adults are back in charge. Feels good.
