 Jon Stewart’s Plan for Peace in the Middle EastPosted on Aug 2, 2006
During an interview with Vali Nasr on Tuesday, “The Daily Show” host grew frustrated with the increasing violence in the Middle East and offered his own plan for peace in the region. The two had been discussing the difficulty of diplomacy, as in the case with Irans nuclear program, when Stewart quipped, Youre suggesting that the resolutions that weve passed are ineffective? After Nasr, who wrote the book The Shia Revival, argued that the United States was necessarily entangled in Middle Eastern affairs, Stewart offered his own solution to the conflict.

It’s interesting that Stewart would employ the same tactic in that part of the Middle East that he devotes the first ten minutes of every Daily Show blaming Bush for using in Iraq.
I imagine forcing this plan on the Israelis and Palestinians would go over just as well as our efforts in Iraq. Apparently the only difference between Stewart and the president is the level of blatant hypocrisy.

I must say I am heartened by this piece from Stewart, who for a long time has been nothing but a Zionist toadie, delighting in digs at Islam and Arabs and refusing to say critical word one about Israel. His brief plan, however, proves he is not as much of a lost cause as I had assumed. Though short on details, Jerusalem as an international city (an idea floated for some time) and his belief in a viable Palestinian state is hopeful. Maybe now I can watch the show again.

pThe only problem with Stewarts plan is he left out the part “My God is better then your God and God gave this land to me”
Report thisAdd to that the Christo/fascists who are waiting for the second coming in the area.
They should have figured out that Jesus is not coming back since a leading authority who was crowned King in the Halls of Congress, the Rev. Moon
says he is here to finish the work of Jesus which shows like me he knows the second coming is not going to happen.

I saw this on the Daily Show. The Shia want their chance to ass-kick the Sunnis in much the same way the Sunnis ran roughshod under Hussein.
You’ve got rival gangs fighting each other for the chance to show that their the one true sect of Islam and worthy of waging Jihad against the infidels. What a mess!

How curious that I have to watch a comedian to get any kind of a sensibly approach to this situation.
