Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Some Sly Objectives in Our Mideast Strategy?
James Lilek's Newhouse News Service column (which I eagerly await every Wednesday) which gives us his take on the "negotiating" strategy of the U.S. All good, as usual. A snippet:

Even if the hawkiest of the hawks prevail, and governments in the Middle East topple and implode, that still doesn't mean peace. If the Arab world is liberated from its tyrannies, monarchies and theocracies and still cannot find its way to a compromise with modernity, then they'll really be furious. And it will be the fault of the West, of course. You never hate what you see in the mirror. You hate the man who hung the mirror on your wall.
