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.

Monkey Business is No Laughing Matter
Iran's "Space Monkey" Means Trans-Atlantic Launch Capability
-Ben Hartman
After Iran's announcement that it had successfully launched a monkey into space, IDF General Asaf Agmon told the Ilan Ramon International Space Conference in Herzliya:
"[Iran's] space program is connected to their missile program and the science you need to launch a monkey into space is the same that you need to send a warhead over the Atlantic Ocean."
