For the foreseeable future I'll be doing all or most of my Middle East-related blogging over at the new blog I've launched on behalf of the CNI Foundation. It's called Fair Policy, Fair Discussion.

As veteran bloggers will probably recognize, at present FPFD uses a very standard Wordpress template. I wanted to get it up and running quickly so it can be the main vehicle for whatever blogging I'm able to do during the upcoming CNI Foundation tour of the Middle East that I'll be co-leading, October 30 - November 16. I'm hoping that other tour participants can do some blogging there, too.

So anyway, please put FPFD onto your RSS reader or other regular reading mechanism. Come and join in the (hopefully civilized) discussion over there.
