Israel invades Gaza

My friend was driving back home for Christmas. He heard comments on radio shows in Arkansas that were pretty sad, shit like "Them jews need tah find Jesus already." The situation in the middle east, as Capo already said, is far more complex than "they're good" or "they're bad." There's no point breaking the situation down like that and then trying to have a discussion about it, Locke.

I would like to think we've advanced enough as people to be able to peacefully solve situations like this, but my time in the Middle East has taught me that those folks do not let go of the past. It's a miserable situation in light of that. I also have nothing meaningful to contribute to it beyond that sense of uncertainty.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
