And he no longer even has any pre-conditions for such talks as Israel still does. Why should Assad go to Jerusalem when Olmert has nothing but scorn for him? Let Olmert start acting like a statesman instead of a Bush toady & he would have no problem getting Assad to Jerusalem. Pls. tell me when Ehud Olmert or Ariel Sharon ever invited Assad to Israel w. no pre-conditions.

How about having Assad come to Jerusalem and offering to make peace?

Oh wait, Israel did that, and Assad refused.
