Hey everyone,

What do you think about this so-called 'Baker' report that was issues yesterday? I guess one of the major discussions is whether or not the West should engage in talks with Syria and Iran in order to mitigate at least some of the violence. Do you think the West should, and/or do you think it will help?

Furthermore, what about the relationship between the violence in Iraq and the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians? How interconnected are they?
