Just got back from this event at Brandeis, "The Hezbollah-Israel War: What''s Next?" with presentations and discussion by "Prof. Shai Feldman, Judith and Sydney Swartz Director, Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Brandeis University, Dr. Abdel Monem Said Aly, Senior Fellow, Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Brandeis University, and Mr. Charles Radin, Specialist on Religion and Society, Boston Globe."

I should have a report in a day or two. Fow now I'll just say that one speaker was very interesting, one somewhat interesting, and one only tangentially interesting and for reasons have nothing to do with the stated purpose of the talk. I'll let you puzzle over which one was which.
