The intersection of 'social and economic forces' right now - terrifying; it quite literally keeps me up at night. And we are a dismal species, constantly distracted by nonsense while being squeezed out of existence.

Heh was trying to run down the source for that, then I saw the /jk.

There's wishful thinking in the West. The PA does not want a peace keeping force: "There's been talks of utilizing an Arab Peacekeeping force, and the Palestinian Authority, which maintains an 18K strong security force, may be open to a training element."
