Brinksmanship and Bagels
When it comes to the middle east there are far more questions than answers, and more radical ideas than clear solutions. On the one side there are the conservatives and neo-conservatives who seem to think that some combination of force and nation-building will result in wide-spread democratization and an end to extremism. On the left there is a distaste for the use of force, a belief that there must be another solution, but no clear ideas that work with my understanding of the realpolitik of the region. So, I'm going to play a little bit of Devil's Advocate here.
