It was great the hostages were returned, but the impression I got from much of the media was that
this was the END of the conflict -- Trump was able to do what no other leader had done before, bring a lasting peace to the Mideast. As much as I dislike him and his policies, I was hoping this to be true, but I had my doubts.
Now one week later we know the killing will continue. I wonder how media will spin this.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
