Speaking of peace…this may be the first time anyone has cited both Howard Zinn and Mark Joyner on the same day. Mark is one of my favorite people. He’s extremely smart, a marketing legend, and that relatively rare bread, a marketer with a social conscience–even more rare for coming out of the military with his ideals intact. He’s an American but he lives in New Zealand. Here’s his well-thought-out plan for peace in Gaza. Methinks it could apply just as easily to Iraq or many other trouble spots.

I’ve been involved with Middle East peace stuff for years and I could find nothing to disagree with. Bravo, Mark! Now we just have to get the leaders of the world to read your blog.
