Bruce's MidEast Soundbites

Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

VideoBite: stunning words

Dearest Readers,

This 3 minute clip of Iraqi MP Iyad Jamal Al-Din appeared on Al-Jazeera TV recently. It is not a voice heard often enough, even in our media.

Your Soundbiter,
Bruce

But you can see by the atitude of the interviewer that he will be perceived as much as an American puppet as prophet for what is necessary for the future of Iraq. True, it would be nice to see a lot more of this coming out of Iraq, but we don't which is part of the problem there.; Monday, January 15, 2007 6:23:00 AM
