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.

LHwrites said...: I believe that Abbas is probably, at best, the lesser of two evils, and do not think he is a great friend of Israel, but for all I know he could be. No leader of the Palestinians can be too friendly to Israel...and live. At least other Arab countries and their leaders have found they can tone down the rhetoric and survive.; Wednesday, July 11, 2007 11:44:00 AM
