Two honest questions about the Middle East.

1. From the Palastinians' point of view, what logical reason is there to recognize Isreal as a legitimate state (Becase "You must -- or else!" doesn't seem to be bringing us any closer to peace, no matter how loudly or often we say it; providing them with a clearly good reason would probably be more effective)?


2. What's so wrong with Iraq splitting into three independant states?

EEP! NaNoWriMo is almost here!!eleventyone!!

Last year, I waded into it with no planning whatsoever, until I got hopelessy stuck in the middle, and switched to making a checklist of scenes to complete each day. This year, I'm going to do the opposite, and plan, with an outline and everything, from the beginning. Thus, I hope to trick my brain out of the dreaded Sophomore Slump, because althogh this is my second NaNo, it's my first NaNo done this particular way. Hah!! Aren't I clever?

I am about to toddle off for a second cup of coffee, and outline-writing. But in the meantime, I want to ask: Who else on LJ is also signed up for NaNo? And would you mind if I list you as a writing buddy?
