Are Settlements Really The Biggest Obstacle To Peace
In order to provide a respite from all the Hillary vs. Obama sniping, I'd like to bring up a topic sure to promote unity and harmony: the Middle East.

No, that's not how this is done at all. You can't just broach the topic, it's necessary to take a stance so extreme that you're bound to provoke both praise ("Halleluja! Someone finally has the courage to tell the truth!") and condemnation ("You're crazy. There's not a shred of truth in any of that.")
Take your pointers from M. J. Rosenberg, our resident master of the hyperbolic post on Middle Eastern topics. And remember - the crazier the position you take, the more passionate the responses you'll generate.

Ah, I see. I actually tried to be more inciteful (or was that insightful?) but my ramblings never made it to the board. Take two was more successful. But alas, I fear we are too absorbed making war over the Democratic primary to make war over the Middle East.
