Last night

Last night I was back at the Cambridge Union for a debate about Ariel Sharon blocking Middle East peace featuring Norman Lamont and Greville Janner, both people I hope I could claim to know at least a little.

They were both very good but I realised, last night, finally, why I have tried to avoid Israel/Palestine debates in the past. I know that they soon become very sectarian, and as a result a little dull for the non-partisan, but I believe that the whole problem in the area is that there is too much debate and argument between the two sides and not enough positive discussion and agreement over what to do next...
