Here is the Latest in the Arab World: Killing, Killing, Killing and More Killing

I spent 2 hours this morning visiting all the sites I usually visit. I could not find a single new story or analysis about the Arab world that I consider worthy of posting on this blog. All I could find is more killing, bombing and mayhem everywhere: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, ....and on and on!

I am 68-years old and I do not remember any period in my life where the conditions in the Arab world were as bad as today. It is really hard to keep any optimism regarding the future of that area of the world.

When will the killing stop? Probably not in my lifetime.

I will resist saying , "happy New Year," because I know that it will not be.
