Fisk Paints a Middle East in crisis

By ABC Australia 03/06/06

Robert Fisk says that in his three decades of reporting from the Middle East for British newspapers, he's never seen it more dangerous, and that he's certain another major crisis, possibly even another September 11, is coming.

3. Fisk is an excellant journalist. K&R. btw, check out what Bushie advisor

Pipes is saying about the prospect of civil war in Iraq (and his past words on supporting arming Saddam himself). Hint: Civil War in Iraq might be good for "our" interests.

Let's kick both this posts.

4. K&R...I've bookmarked this too.

This part is interesting and sadly accurate, imho:

You see, I mean I've said this before, but the terrible equation, of course politically, from an American political point of view as well, in Iraq, is that the Americans must leave, and they will leave, and they can't leave.

And that's the equation that turns sand into blood. And that remains the case. It's very easy to invade other people's countries; it's very difficult to get out of them. It should be the other way around, but unfortunately it's not. That's how it happens.

And the Brits found that, you know, all over the Middle East. And every time, every time, every time the authorities of the occupying power say the same things - we will not talk to terrorists. The Americans say it too. And they don't read history books, because at the end of the day the Americans will have to talk to the insurgents in Iraq, and they will, they will.
