I think we’ve all heard as much as we want to hear about the Cordoba center, where it will be sited (near the twin towers site in New York) and the forciferous opposition from figures on the American left and right. We’ve probably read as much as we want to read about the horribly inaccurate version of history which seems to inhabit Newt Gingrich’s mind and the flawed and hypocritical late outcoming against the project by Democrat Harry Reid.
But amongst the wreakage we can find signs of life for the cause of common sense and hope for a future of a more balanced debate on other issues.
Like a rambling, coughing shambles coming out of the darkness! Here is what I’ve been looking at this week:
- Iranian Supreme Leader, state media get a little confused about the purpose of YouTube and Facebook.
- War is Boring tries to bring a little sanity to the debate on the War in Afghanistan.
- While The Economist reminds the world the issue of the religious icons and traditions in Western Liberal schools isn’t as clear cut as those for and against make it.
- WIRED Magazine meanwhile has an article over how the US Secretary of Defence, Robert Gates, has changed the world of defence planning in the USA forever.
