Tikun Olam-תקון עולם: Make the World a Better Place: "If only Jack Abramoff had known the kid he beat up in high school was going to win a Pulitzer Prize and 'out' him on This American Life (listen). Perhaps Jack might've done something a little more useful with his life than lie, cheat and steal in the halls of power. Maybe it would've scared him straight. Who knows."
Broken Spring? : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
