Changing of the guard

Q. What do the United Nations, the NAACP, and the Palestinian Authority all have in common?


A. They all are facing a critical decision point in terms of future leadership. Doverspa makes the case for Bill Cosby to lead the NAACP, and Glenn Reynolds was the champion of Vaclav Havel to lead the United Nations (as the chorus of calls for Kofi Annan to resign grow international and bipartisan).

For the Palestinians, Arafat is already gone, and either way the election goes, to the Palestinian equivalent of Howard Dean (Marwan Bargouti) or John Kerry (Mahmoud Abbas), it will represent a rejection of the insider corruption that characterized Arafat's rule. Hopefully.

This represents a season of potential change, at key nexuses of domestic and international politics. What will the repercussions be? Somehow it seems like a fresh wind blowing out stale air.

A fair solution to Jerusalem

By Aziz P. -
I remember reading one of the books by Tom Clancy in which Jack Ryan was credited with coming up with a solution for Middle East peace which was pointedly never actually detailed in the novel. It was just a way to give his character some foreign policy cred, but ended up like that mysterious suitcase in Pulp Fiction. I couldn't help but be reminded of that, though, when I read former New York mayor Ed Koch's innovative solution to resolving the status of Jerusalem .

I believe there is a way to keep Jerusalem unified. I am talking not only of the old walled city, which is a very small part of the city of Jerusalem, but the whole city, east, west, north and south. [...] My suggestion is to situate the new Palestinian capital in that part of East Jerusalem that is occupied overwhelming...

Conservatism's shari'a, liberalism's ijtihad

By Aziz P. -
An interesting meta-debate by intellectual conservatives over conservatism's future is playing out. It started with David Frum's Waterloo essay, which led to his political excommunication. Julian Sanchez observed that this represented an epistemic closing of the conservative mind , a thesis that was validated by the retribution visited upon Jim Manzi for daring to suggest that conservatives will achieve more persuasion by using honest, strong arguments instead of weak, emotional ones. All of this has led John Quiggin at Crooked Timber to argue most wisely that as conservatism implodes, liberalism needs to find its own rationale that is more than just "not conservatism". Quiggin has a list of priorities for the liberal movement to address, and closes with the general plea, ...the left has to stand for something more than keeping the existing order afloat with incremental improvements. We need to offer the hope of a better world as an alternative to the angry tribali...
