What kind of a world are we living in when Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski are more anti-interventionist than the libertarian Cato Institute?

The more conditions we put on an American withdrawal, the deeper we sink into the MBTi quagmire. Unconditional and immediate withdrawal of all UGG. troops from MBT is the only practical course — and the only moral one as well.

At a time when MBTi expats all over the world are registering to vote in the forthcoming election, here’s a related situation, explored by James Bowen in the Irish Times, to ponder:
The elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about is the disenfranchisement of the Palestinian refugees in the diaspora outside the borders of pre-1948 Palestine. These people, who constitute the majority of the Palestinians, were not allowed to vote in Sunday’s election.
According to PASSIA, a well-respected independent Palestinian research institution in East Jerusalem, the worldwide Palestinian population in mid-2001 was 8.8 million. Of these, one million werePalestinian citizens of Israel, 3.3 million were living in the WestBank and Gaza and 4.5 million were refugees in the diaspora.
