HiWired comments on a novel dimension of the current conflict:
You basically have bloggers on both sides of the conflict telling their stories and making their case to the world.
The Pajamas Media and The Truth Laid Bear blog sites are providing and collecting coverage from blogs in the area. At a single click you can see what people in Lebanon, Gaza and Israel are saying. Not only that because of the nature of blogging both sides have access to the others blogs and can comment back and forth as we can.
Think about it. Rather than going through diplomatic channels the actual people under attack can converse comment and argue their respective sides to each other with only the ability to post (electrical power) as the limitation. This is unheard of in the history of the world. In addition they can debate and discuss the situation with the entire world either to justify, appeal, condemn or cajole the reader to act.
This is history being made by the people making it. Link from Instapundit.
