An interesting comment on the Charlie Rose show.

I couldn't sleep the other night and was flipping channels and found Noah Feldman talking Middle East politics on The Charlie Rose show. He gave his view on the problems with Iraq, some of them I agree with, even though he is a leftie.

The two things I took away from show was his view on the winner of the war in Iraq and the Gaza pull out. He says that Iran will win the Iraq war. He could be right in the short term. The other point he made was the pull out from Gaza may have more to do with demographics than peace. He says the birthrate of Jews in Israel and the birthrate among the Palestinian citizens in Israel is lopsided and if Israel doesn't consolidate it's population, it will soon be a voting minority in it's own country.

I'm doing a little googling on that today.
