    Middle EastI don't can't quite come up with a blog post on this,though I have strong opinions on what is happening in Gaza. Especially I can't bring myself to do a "green" tie-in, because the problem with mass murder is not that it is not "green". So a poem:
    The Rebirth of Anne Frank
    Fleeing her bulldozed home in Rafah,

    Hiding in an attic in the U.N. school,

    Dreaming of love and sex and poetry,

    Dreaming of work and politics and soccer,

    Dreaming of video and song and clothes,

    Dreaming of becoming,

    Dreaming of being.

    This time no soldiers in jackboots drag her off to a death camp.

    This time a missile incinerates her alongside her diary.

    Perhaps next time she is born the world will have changed,

    And she will live long enough fulfill her twice-thwarted sacred mission.

    Israeli war against terrorIt's pity, that no everyone understand that Gaza is a terrorist state and Hamas is a terrorist organization, like al-Qaeda. In the last 3 years they devoted more than 6,200 rockets into Israeli cities that are not in disputed territory. Israel right to defend their people. And I think that we should support Israel in this war against terror
