The Annapolis Conference: An Exercise In Wishful Thinking?

Maybe. Maybe not. Either way I’m loving it. Why? Simple. Because it’s pissing off Hamas and the Iranian regime.

I watched the speeches a while ago. Both Abbas and Olmert delivered theirs eloquently. It’s highly evident that the speeches were very carefully crafted since delivering them is like walking in a minefield. One wrong […]

Updates On North-South Sudan Crisis

Yeah, that crisis. Silva Kiir, the SPLM’s boss went to the United States and met President Bush. The visit apparently wasn’t coordinated with other partners in the “unity” government aka al-Bashir’s NCP which got the NCP rather pissed off.
