Nice video..good work!keep it up!

These arm chair war mongers, and steroid filled franken cops, don't have any balls compared to this soft spoken but intrepid (courageous), extremely insightful, compassionate and intelligent man Alastair Crooke, and the people on his team. Very encouraging to see the "everday joe" type, not so eloquent, American Mark Perry as co-director of conflicts forum. Just goes to show you can't judge by appearances, which i am also guilty of.

Intelligent, courteous, insightful, courageous, etc are Alistair Crooke, his team, and the Hezbollah and Hamas peacemakers who they met. The most important quality all these people from both sides possess is simple love. Even the purported terrorist/Hamas official.But no one can be kind whilst Israel's leadership walls up, starves, and murders thousands of your people for the killing a dozen Israelis (by july 4th-like rockets)over months, by an al queda offshoot in Gaza,not by Hamas.

Dialectics, rather than debate.

really, really beautiful ending on mediation: "When you come to the conclusion, that what the other party are doing is just irrational. And both what they say and what they are doing has no sense. Then it is you who has lost the plot. Not them."

Very enlighting VPRO production. Esspecially the part about the use and abuse of language. It basicly means you can read someones intention by there use of language. No matter if parties use conflict or harmonic models of interaction. In the end we must use language to create a dialogue and common undestanding.

As an American, it is refreshing to see "free" media reporting the real news. The news media here serves as a distraction to all Americans to the real fact that we are dangerously engaging in imperialist tactics.

No need to exaggerate.

You have independent media in the US.....but you may not necessarily find it on cable.
