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.

Anonymous said...: What kind of crazy title do you have for this post? Seems to me like a lot of actors and statesmen (prince Albert of Monaco cancelled too) just don't feel like being dragged into this conflict. Cant blame them for that. There are no innocent parties in this conflict.; Sunday, July 11, 2010 2:16:00 PM
