Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I disagree.  I'm still there and many others who find it to be a flawed but still useful place.  I has the virtue of volume, though the strained logic to defend the Obama administration's adoption of Bush's policies has splintered the site.

I/P diaries there generally result in the same people saying the same things and there seem to be no practical ways to influence a change.  I don't know that the perception is true, but that is the perception-as I perceive it.

The IP conflict is an ongoing drama that is unfolding every day. And yes, it sounds the same everyday, because the injustices just continue everyday.

Would that be a reason to forget say, Darfur, as a same old same old conflict that never changes? Think not.

can you point out to me where I said we should "forget" the struggle that is going on in the Middle-east?  Reading a bunch of diaries that are polemical in nature is not a requirement for not forgetting something.  Print an article that shows a realistic way forward and I'll read and recc it.

Sorry if I wrongly implied that, but I do agree that the same defenses of Israel are mounted day after day.

In this matter as with others relating to human rights, we have a choice: get tired of it and become silent, or make noise. I prefer the latter. When was the last time we heard anything about the military dictatorship in Myanmar (Burma)? And even Darfur has slipped off the screen.
