Thank you Queen Noor

Straighten out Andrea Mitchell re the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Every time there is disproportional use of force on a virtually occupied people the entire region is destabilized. What is needed is a viable peace process. Only that will sap the extremists.

1. Last night Peter Werbe called Gaza an "open air prison"

I'm listening to my governor, Ritter, on local radio and had the tv on mute. So I missed Queen N's interview. Thanks for the details.

2. SHe really rankles the likes of Wolfie and Mitchell...

they can't just discount her given her roots and status as a beloved adoptive American and Queen to the late King of Jordan.

Keep speaking out, Queen Noor... We NEED to hear both sides.

3. I saw and heard her...

over the weekend, and was thankful her voice was being heard. Initially, it was all "Israel is responding to Hamas rocket attacks" without the neccessary context -- the imbalance was startling. It has improved, finally.

I have lomg admired her -- a very smart, classy woman.

5. Yes indeed

Wolfie is not fond of balance. Looks like he gave up the holidays for this one - must have had notice.
It's a tough decision who sickens me more - Wolfie or Mitchell.

6. She is very impressive.

It's a shame that "leaders" don't listen to her more closely. The things that she is saying are essential for resolving the conflict(s) in the Middle East. Though she may not have "The" answer, she has an important part of it.

7. I keep hoping that someone on live tv would ask Andrea a question

"Andrea, how hard was it for you, as a serious newsperson, to ignore all the mistakes and f-ups your husband made while he screwed up the economy?.. Was it hard for you to not rush to a camera and report it.. Do you feel even a LITTLE guilty over the economic mess we're in"?
