[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim': [QB] While reading today's newspaper I happened upon a short piece from journalist Thomas L Friedman, posting his rules when reporting from the Middle East. [QUOTE]Never lead your story out of Lebanon, Gaza or Iraq with a cease-fire; it will always be over by the time the next morning's paper is out. The Israelis will always win, and the Palestinians will always make sure that they never enjoy it. Everything else is just commentary. In the Middle East, if you can't explain something with a conspiracy theory, then don't try to explain it at all. In the Middle East, the extremists go all the way, and the moderates tend to just go away - unless the coast is completely clear. When one side is weak, it will tell you, "How can I compromise?" And the minute it becomes strong, it will tell you, "Why should I compromise?" What people tell you in private is irrelevant. All that matters is what they will defend in public in Arabic, in Hebrew or in any other local language. Anything said in english doesn't count.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
