Westward Ho!

Posted By Stephen M. Walt Thursday, June 25, 2009 - 8:42 PM Share

I am heading to California tomorrow on a family vacation, and will be posting infrequently over the next ten days. I've asked a few people to contribute guest blogs while I'm gone, and I'm sure I'll chime in from time to time, but I plan to spend most of my time reading, hiking, and catching up with my family out west. I wonder if there's good Wifi in Yosemite Valley...

I know you're a realist...

...but any chance Alex Wendt might be among those asked to fill in? As long as he isn't talking about UFOs, I think it'd be fascinating to get his take (or Martha Finnemore's, for that matter) on day-to-day affairs and have him wade into more policy-relevant work than what he has been known for thus far. Scott Sagan, Robert Jervis, or Bruce Jentleson would round out the rest of my request list.

censors

some people had posted some interesting stuff here which was censored(?)

Anyway, why can't we comment on Walt's most recent post on Iraq?

That discussion was not

That discussion was not relevant to this particular posting, but was a topic to which Walt had devoted multiple blog posts, so it was not off topic for this blog in general (ie, we weren't discussing cooking or some such), and the discussion was not uncivil.

I have complained before about people hogging the board with off topic posts and they were never deleted.

Walt is, of course, entitled to delete any posts he wishes. However, it is troubling that quite a few off topic anti-Semitic posts are allowed to stand here (mainly from this guy Martillo or Scuzi or whatever he calls himself) while this conversation was deleted.
