Christopher Hitchens has an interesting article at Slate.

While Mr. Hitchens is not one of my favorite people when he rambles on about the non existence of God (last time I saw him on Hardball he was apoplectic), he occasionally, and in a well done way, musters a few good thoughts into a coherent chain.

In general I tend not to care an awful lot about what happens in Israel/Palestine. It’s a way over covered story. In comparison to the Russia that is trying to re-emerge it is far less dangerous to us.

I think the only thing that will eventually straighten up the situation is a solution posed from outside, primarily by the United States. Let’s say internationally redrawn borders with the Israelis to the left and the Palestinans to the right and international enforcement in between.

I think even proposing such a solution would scare both parties into reaching their own settlement.

All parties can now have fun hating me.
