Playing conflict by rules
2011-11-25 08:02:00 The most striking feature of the Israeli-Arab conflict is that it is impossible. Israel is simply too small to defend in modern mobile warfare. In 1948 that was less of an issue since we fought against Arab militia, but in 1967 and 1973 Israel was invaded by regular Arab armies. Even the most incapable, battered army can gather enough strength for the forty-mile advance that would allow Syria to wipe out the Jewish state. Lacking tanks and aircraft after the first battles, Syria could still march its 200,000-strong infantry and mammoth conscripted reserves into Israel, and no realistically available amount of Jewish firepower would have helped in a trench war. Hamas and Hezbollah can easily bring Jewish society to screams by consistent attacks at Israel’s soft underbelly, the foreign Jews. Daily stabbing of Jews throughout the world is a slam-dunk affair, and it wouldn’t even alienate European governments from the terrorists. Faced with such major unrest, the Europeans would...

Afraid of Conflict Resolution
2011-08-11 18:01:00 I will admit at times I get apprehensive about being ?real? around certain people. I used to be REALLY bad at that, because I was taught that you should always be the sugar sweet person at all times. That means instead of voicing your opinion about why something makes you upset? You have to stop, think, and possibly go a different route to voice this ? or you know not to voice it at all. Why? People tend to point out your attitude as they see it, and wish to deal with that more than the substance of the point or hurt in question. I?m not going to say that it?s a bad thing to watch your tone and approach. I will say at times we tend to go a little to far in that realm. If your approach isn?t ?just so? that is what is pointed out and concentrated on more than the true hurt that people need to deal with. The Wartburg Watch recently had an article called the confessions of a SGM Pastor. They speak of t...

Here's Martz today on Jay Cutler's abbreviated outing in Brad Biggs' post on ChicagoBreakingSports:"Just wanted to get his feet wet," Martz said of Cutler.

Moral Conflict
2010-03-23 21:37:00 So, everybody...oh who am I kidding? So, LL, here's your question for the the day. What if you could go back in time and prevent World War II from ever happening, but here's the catch: the only way to do it is to have sex with Hitler. You can't trick him and say that you'll have sex with him and then kill him or something, you've got to go through with it. But if you do, he won't invade any other countries or kill Jews or anything. Millions of lives will be saved. Instead of genocide and world domination, Hitler will focus on music. He'll form a folk group called Der Flying Deutschmen. A protegê of Woody Guthrie, Hitler will write songs about peace, magic unicorns and a night of passion with a mysterious stranger whose name he refuses to reveal. In 1959, he'll be mourned by the entire world when his plane crashes, killing him, Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly. In this WWII-free universe, the Big Bopper took a different flight and later opened a chain of successful ...

What the World Needs to Know Now about the Arab-Israeli Conflict
2009-05-16 21:10:00 Anti-Zionism is the anti-imperialism of fools.As Prime Minister Netanyahu flies to Washington to meet His Phoniness, here are some points to bring up to the world.The US president during the Holocaust was Franklin D Roosevelt, known as liberal and a progressive, like Obama. FDR made no effort to help the Jews in the death camps, the labor camps, or on the railroads on their way to them, or the Jews in the ghettoes, as in Warsaw. The British policy was that their BBC "news" outlet could not report on the Holocaust until too much became known about it in London and continuing to ignore it would have lost credibility for the bbc. FDR made a few minor gestures in the last half of the war which supplied little help to the Jews. This was done under considerable public pressure.The UK issued the "White Paper on Palestine" in 1939 which in effect revoked unilaterally the UK's mandate from the League of Nations to foster development of the Land of Israel as the Jewish National Home. This w...

The media stopped following the money: CONFLICT of INTEREST
2008-06-21 11:09:00 Was it big oil money pouring into the "McCain Victory '08 Fund," as the sudden change in McCain?s stand on drilling in environmentally sensitive areas suggests? How will we ever know? There?s no benefit to a commercial news outlet in uncovering the source of the RNC PAC/527 money...It got interesting in April, but almost nobody reported it...Once Senator John McCain and the RNC began circumventing the McCain/Feingold limits via the creation of the "McCain Victory '08 Fund" with its $70,000 per individual donations they really left presumptive Democratic nominee Senator Barack Obama with no reason to keep extending his offer to limit campaign spending by accepting public financing. They sprang into faux outrage, of course, ready to accuse him of a flip-flop despite the fact they'd not accepted Obama's conditional offer. Follow the money, not the spin, and you discover that this has gone virtually unreported. The commercial media outlets have a conflict of interest; reporting ...

Nur Wahid asks Moslems not to be provoked by inter-faith conflict
2008-06-09 02:51:00 Dr Hidayat Nur Wahid, a member of the Advisory Board of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), asked moslems in Indonesia not to give up to provocations which might lead to inter-faith conflicts. "The guilty must be punished. Those who are not involved should not be intimidated," he said on the sidelines of the party`s 10th anniversary commemoration here on Sunday. Hidayat further said he personally disagreed to the use of violence as in the North Maluku gubernatorial election, the issue on fuel oil price hikes which resulted in violence and even in the celebration of Pancasila (state ideology)`s anniversary which also ended with in violence.

Another North-South Sudanese Conflict?
2008-06-05 01:10:00 BBC: Armies ?head for central Sudan?BackgroundSudan has been a nation of conflict ever since it gained independence from Great Britain. First, it was the north versus the south. The south, which is mostly Christian and animistic, fought two incredibly bloody civil wars to gain autonomy from the government-controlling, Sharia law-imposing, Muslim and ?more Arab? north. The conflict finally ended in 2005 after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed, giving the South more autonomy and the possibility of secession after a referendum in 2011. However, more recently, genocide backed by Khartoum in the western region of Sudan, Darfur, has received much more media attention. That does not mean the conflict between the North and South did not continue ? far from it.Recent escalations have occurred after new fighting in Abyei, an oil rich region. Control over the region has been a major point of conflict between the North and the South since the peace agreement was signed.What can be do...
