The Case Against Peace in the Middle East

Christian Crumlish

The news from the middle east over the weekend made me sad and frustrated and brought to a head some of my thoughts about the politics of the region, so I wrote a short essay at Junk Mail (The Case Against Peace in the Middle East).

Then I copied it into my new "outspoken" category but I felt like it didn't necessarily belong on the home page here.

Then I realized that I did want people to see it, so I added it to the home category.

Then I realized that my RSS feed is picking up entire stories (how do I get my RSS feed to pick up only a short abstract of each story?), so I unchecked the home category and decided to post this pointer here.
Posting this to my home page so it will show up in my basic RSS feed
