Looks like more Arabs in the government than we have Native Americans in ours. But we have time to catch up; we are only 150 years older.

Since Israel’s establishment, Arab citizens have been exempted from compulsory service in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). Many Druze and Bedouin men volunteer for the army and make it or the Border Police a career. The Druze generally enter the Border Police after army service and the Bedouin the army and, when I was covering the ME in the 90s, there was a Bedouin general on the IDF general staff.

Triff posted this on the Oil Drum. Thought I'd steal it. With regards to the GW issue .. I was watching the Discovery channel program last night hosted by Tom Brokaw titled Global Warming - What You Need to Know .. and it sort of hit me .. TPTB won't be mentioning Peak Oil and depletion issues going forward to engineer societal change .. the public focus for change will be the GW issue .. The proposed "solutions" or mitigation strategies would be identical to those required to address depletion and Peak Oil .. I got the distinct impression that the PR wonks feel GW is a more 'saleable' issue than depletion or Peak Oil would be for public 'education' purposes .. Triff .. theoildrum.com
