And yes, while Ignatius has been forward-thinking/realist since, he can be justly scored, I think, for putting his hand on the Turkish Prime Minister to stop the debate so everyone could go to dinner the other night at Davos. It’s easy to say this in retrospect, but there was no sense on Ignatius’s part of the Moment. Ignatius should have extended the time to let both men finish their points, Peres and Erdogan. Let the stomachs grumble. As it is, he appeared to dis the P.M.–and as we see, appearance is everything in these matters–and failed to recognize that when you give a stage to a man defending the slaughter of 450 children, the placement of the salad fork should not be the highest concern, a structural problem with the Establishment, in my humble opinion.

    “This is why the West opposes to democracy in the Middle East. Democratically-elected leaders in the Muslim world respond to the wishes of their constituents; not their foreign backers.”
    –Dr. Nader Hashemi

    Not only the West opposes a democratic
    Palestine. The corrupt and rich Arab Sheiks oppose it as well. The picture Palestine presents does not fit into the
    Sharia-picture of the Vahabists.
