Re: Yemen: A Total Mess
Illuminating diavlogue. I have a sense that Al Qaeda is pretty unique in its global goals for terrorism. Given the terrorism that has existed in the world, how much has stretched beyond the areas...

Re: Salvaging Religious Spirituality
I have two suggestions for Eliezier. One is don't talk for X minutes and then interrupt the speaker after the speaker has responded for X/10 minutes. It's rude and unenlightening.
Two is don't...

Re: Acting Now to End World Poverty
Great interview by Tyler. I didn't find Singer that impressive. I found it very telling that he didn't think it necessary for us to get richer as a country, except to get back to where we were a...

Re: The Pinkie Finger Prism
Hey Bob,
Have you looked into some sort of micropayments method? Being able to give $1 at a time might make the audience feel that they have more control over the process. Good diavlogs can be...

Re: Special Envoy Edition
I don't think that the war with Hezbollah was a mistake. The proof is that Hezbollah hasn't been lobbing rockets at Israel and there haven't been border attacks. Farley (in the Eli Lake dialog from...

Re: Welcome to the Jungle
Bob has a good point about using the ICC to try cross-border terrorism cases. Countries whose nationals commit cross-border terrorism can save face, so they are more likely to cooperate. We can...

Re: Precedent-Setting Edition
Great diavlog. Unfortunately Wright must not have gotten enough sleep the night before. Kagan is ferociously smart. He is tough to tangle with so you have to be at the top of your game.

There are two parts that I don't get:
