Links for 03/05/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Rosshirt's piece on both trust and the perfectionism that comes with no self trust is essential for anyone in politics, sales or, for that matter, clergy.
What is David Brock doing on Morning Joe? Rule one for any Democratic operative, Scarborough is off limits. He's better, has a bigger staff and will not be shy about trying to ruin your point and you. The only good thing is that he has too much self-respect to go on FoxNews.
Wittes briefly mentions the Saudis, while focusing more on Iran. At least the Shia and the Wahabi have not reconciled, as this would lead to many more executions. Interestingly, the Iranians are not more moderate - and much of the animosity against them comes from the Hostage Crisis (which Reagan played for all it was worth - the question is still whether he tried to back channel to keep it going long enough to cost Carter re-election. The Wahabi threat is much more insidious, because it is funded in part by our oil purchases. Maybe we should try an embargo the other way - or do something a bit more, shall we say, direct.
As for Israel, don't get me started. Much will happen on tht front - one of it kind to Bibi.
