Peace in our time?

GUATEMALAN CIVIL WAR The accord between government and rebels may start to end the world's longest civil war.

A month after those talks, the rebels declared a unilateral cease-fire. In this, both sides have shown their goodwill. Mr. Arzu ordered his military to follow suit. Following signing of the new agreement in Mexico City, Mr. Arzu again expressed his support for ``a lasting peace accord.'' After 35 years of senseless carnage, the Guatemalan people surely deserve no less.
