Len:

An interesting illustration in how conflicts start and end.

Contrast Sri Lanka with Palestine and one wonders how much the media attention and funding by foreign advocates advances the role of war rather than peace? There are many pseudo peace makers who really don't want the fighting to stop. The Saudis are a good example as they fund terrorism all over the world yet claim that their donations are for humane purposes.

I wonder if our well intentioned and increased contributions to Israel are not extending the war rather than forcing them to negotiate a practical settlement. Perhaps, as so called neutrals we're just piling up more rocks for each to throw at each other?

Thomas Friedman is one of our more intelligent journalists IMO. His opinion is always a valuable starting point for consideration.

By the way you've detoured a long way from defending the environment. This domestic concern continues as more and more of nature's open space things get trashed.
