Center for a New American Security

No wonder we have no peace in the Middle East. George Mitchell spends all his time with Hillary Clinton discussing the plotlines of Dan Brown novels while Jeff Feltman stares off into the distance, bored and wishing he were back in Lebanon.

In his treatise on the lessons from the beef between Jay-Z and The Game for American foreign policy, Marc Lynch has just uncorked what has to be one of the most ridiculously awesome blog posts in memory.  Despite my West Coast roots, I'm rooting for the "superpower" Jay-Z over the "insurgent" The Game.  In counterinsurgency terms, I guess that's kind of like a Sunni insurgent joining the Sons of Iraq.
