Why?

I'll tell you why :

This is too complex a conflict for 99% of the people discussing it to grasp. It has a lot of history, a lot of complexity and the politics are very, very deep. This isn't a conflict with a single surface answer. I wouldn't be as cynical as Pete, I don't think it's just that the simple answers don't work. It's that it takes people too much effort to find anything real in this one.

This is a conflict that isn't about sound bites or the easy answers or anything in the clear and obvious. This is the concept of a shadowy political war being examined by people who seem to barely understand politics. I feel daunted every time I read about it...
