This week's Watcher's Council submissions are up.

Seasick Warriors

The Perversity of the Publishing System - Why would anyone write for free? The Glittering Eye explains.

A Conservative Case for Animal Rights

British National Party (BNP) - Are they racist? Anti-semitic? - Right Truth examines the history and nature of the BNP.

Live In Cairo - The Lap Dance Of The Seven Veils

The WH's Eight-Step Plan For Detonating The US-Israel Relationship - Mere Rhetoric wonders if the White House is really trying to undermine it relationship with Israel. Barry Rubin considers ways that Netanyahu can avoid major political damage.

A tale of badly misplaced priorities

Obama's Cairo Address: What We Needed, What We Got - Wolf Howling goes over the President's speech from a number of different angles, and links to his own posts. I especially like the history angle.

My non-council submssion this week is the Optimistic Conservative's The next phase of WWIV Part 2, in which she discusses the historical and strategic importance of the much maligned "settlements" to Israel.
