A really insightful way to look at what is happening and i don't consider Brzezenski to be an anti-semite.

1. Kick n Rec!

While I cannot say I know so much about Brzezinski's total writings or stance on everything, I have for years considered his to be the wisest voice at the table...he's smacked down Bush's stupid policies plenty!

2. Thanks for the link.

Brenzinsk is a diplomat and a scholar. Something that is sorely missing in the current administration.

3. What a relief to read something....

that's posed in a calm and thoughtful manner.

4. I especially like this part

5. "The solution can only come if there is a serious international involvement that supports the moderates from both sides, however numerous or non-numerous they are, but also creates the situation in which it becomes of greater interest to both parties to accommodate than to resist because both of the incentives and the capacity of the external intervention to impose costs. That means a deliberate peace effort led by the United States, which then doubtless would be supported by the international community, which defines openly in a semi-binding fashion how the United States and the international community envisages the outlines of the accommodation."

Well-put.
