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...: Weapons from iran would seem a bigger concern. Given that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard could not make inroads against Saddam Hussein in all those years at war, this may be more of a problem of politics then strategy.; Tuesday, March 11, 2008 12:04:00 PM
