Wow, thanks JTK. I really think that's a good idea , and it's very interesting. I wish adults had the same enforced opportunity.
EDIT: I think that the Israeli-Palestine link-up is particularly interesting, especially when compared to the link up between other historically divided groups.
EDIT #2: In the Iraq-UK link up I think that the fact that they chose to leave out non-Arab British people in the discussion leaves a gap. At one point they're talking about how non-Arab British people (as representative of the western world) do not respect their parents.
I feel like what is missing is that upon reaching eighteen (or twenty or whatever) in the western world it's not just young people casting off their parents but also parents casting of their children and saying, "You're an adult now, make your own way." It is individuality and responsibility that goes both ways, and that comment is missing from the discussion as presented there.

*nod* I noticed that too.
I wish they put a bit more on the website. It seems like these are excerpts from a much larger dialog.
