Take it Away, Norm

After discussing politics last night with two women to my political left (one of whom somehow shares my genetic make-up), I wondered if I could muster something to say on the blog about the current situation in the Middle East. I know you're all dying for my wisdom before I get back to sending you R.E.M. videos and talking about how I pretend that certain baseball players are performing on my behalf. Alas, I don't think I could wrap things up better than Norm Geras did today on his site. So, here you go.
