Last week, I discovered that SecState Clinton is basing major policy decisions on recommendations from this blog. Now, it has come to my attention that the Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece today eerily similar to my post from yesterday on the economic woes of the Middle East and how they affect the peace process. See for yourself.
The 8th Pillar-"...any comprehensive Middle East peace plan needs to address the area's core economic needs if it is to be a lasting peace."
WSJ- "In order to succeed -- finally -- peace efforts need to create positive incentives. An economic peace process can create such a reality."
The 8th Pillar- "Provide jobs and opportunity however, and suddenly all these disaffected youths who want to remake the world quickly become invested in maintaining the status quo."
WSJ- "Yet despite strenuous efforts by Palestinian terrorist organizations to inflame the city (Jerusalem) with repeated attacks, income from tourism has been so rewarding that Jerusalemites coexist without too many problems."
While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, credit should be given where credit is due. Wall Street Journal- I'll expect to see my name in the byline next time.

Perhaps you are pursuing the wrong career. The WSJ needs you! You obviously have a better handle on the news than their staff reporters do!
