Some great blogs from the Middle East
It's payback time. Time to give credit to the stimulating, informative and interesting blogs that have made the blogosphere such a great place.
I have been enjoying some great blogs from the Middle East. It seems their political discourse is livelier than ours. Leading the pack is a new star of the blogosphere the Egyptian Sandmonkey. A self proclaimed pro-US, libertaria Arab, who is also pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian. His very interesting, and maybe even plausible, explanation for the Iraq war is a must read. His concept ot the 7 rules of the APU is wonderful reading, especially coming from an arab. On a lighter note 2 part airport incident makes for some hilarious reading. Beware though, not only does the Sandmonkey update his blog daily, he often adds to it several time a day. You could spend hours just wading through his archives. They would be hours well spent though. Prolific and Provocative.
Big Pharoah also referred to as GM on Sandmonkey's site and Nazd a feminist arab (whose 5/11 Post was great stuff The Republic of Palisraelistine) will give you some idea of the intellectual ferment that is going on throughout the Middle East.
By contrast this link from the Sandmonkey is a reflection on our level of political discourse
On a lighter note: if Bush would have been running against Jesus
