Here's a thoughtful piece by a very bright fellow, Fareed Zakaria, on the current state of affairs in the Mideast.

I heard this morining that someone in the middle east was offering up several billion bucks to go towards the bettering of their people in hopes of avoiding similar unrest. My wife was helping me overcome the effects of ****** so I didn't hear all they were saying .. I couldn't find it in me to take my mind off what I was doing to get a better understandin' .. those pills are 18.00 a piece and I'm not one to waste a nickel.

That is one of the most insightful pieces I've read on the current situation in the Middle East.

Concise and to the point.

Great find, Finn.
