Since starting this web log or "blog", as I like to think of it, many people have asked me "Garkbit, what do you think about the situation in the Middle East? Is peace possible in our lifetime?".
Well, until yesterday I would have had to say "no". But the news that the Israelis are to have popular 70s children's TV character Zippy as Prime Minister has led me to reevaluate my position. This surprising development, if repeated across the Middle East, could signal a sea change that could lead to lasting reconciliation. I understand that Hector the Dog is already being considered as a possible successor to Pres. Ahmadinejad of Iran, while elsewhere there is talk of an unnamed "Pig in Lipstick" running for office in an as yet unnamed country. Is it too soon for optimism?
