A new discussion group, all are welcome.
This is the beginning of a discussion of possible solutions to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. The suggestion was made by and credit is due to shadesofgrey.
If possible (and I have reason to think that it is possible) I will create a new blog called, appropriately enough, Roadmap for Peace. My goal is to have shadesofgrey and O G San share some of the administrative authority of this blog.
The blogs purpose is to put forth concrete ideas and possible solutions to the conflict that effects us all. shadesofgrey, O G San (upon your return) and anyone else interested should email me at kupe@mi.verio.com. I will provide administrative access once implemented.
Some simple rules:
1- This is a Troll-free zone. No insulting, gratuitous or offensive remarks. Trolls will receive one warning, then have their posts deleted and be banned from further posting.
2- Our purpose is clearly stated. If you want to debate history, there are other venues. It may well be true that Yitzak killed Ishmael for stealing his camel long ago (names are made up) but we are here to discuss current events and future implications.
3- Stay on target. As much as possible, remember the purpose of this discussion.
As a starting point, look at the proposed Roadmap for Peace at http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/rls/22520.htm
I think that's it. Please feel free to comment, either here or via email.
