The Middle East Peace Network is the type of organization that the world needs more of; an organization dedicated to erasing the cultural misunderstandings leading to violence in the Middle East. They have a variety of blogs and editorials about diplomacy and culture in the Middle East, usually with an eye towards pluralism and openness. What I found of particular interest today though was a lengthy article by Dr. Shai Har-El entitle Quest for Peace about the options for creating a lasting peace in the Middle East. Certainly this article will be of interest to anyone wondering when the violence in the Middle East will end.
