The Road to Peace

Finally got thinking, only took me 5 days, about the cartoons and images we looked at in class reguarding America's portrayal of the Middle East. I'm not sure why I didn't think of it earlier but this is a link to an amatureish video made to go with Tom Waits song "Road to Peace" off the album Orphans. All around a rather tragic song, and perhaps one of the more fair accounts (though fictional) of one aspect of conflict in the modern Middle East. So, if you have time, check it out, but the video (and the song for that matter) can be a bit graphic and overly real.

Ian, I listened to this whole song and watched the video. Very powerful. Thank you for sharing!
