The sales guy said he laughed for 3 hours straight and called all his buddies back in NJ to tell the story.

The article, despite its age (10 days) is still the best and clearest summary of the roots of the conflict that I've been able to find online. I think it's a pretty good starting point, and I'll link to equally good articles about the conflict as I find them. You're right: I <em>could</em> go into greater depth about the issue, but I squeeze blogging into my schedule where it fits, and it's a busy time for me, hence my quick approach of finding good articles and pointing to them. @The Sloth: That’s the New York Times’ call, not mine.

Which can shift accents, slightly. From you I would expect a better analysis, that's all. Backing it up: few other articles are actually including an August 7th in the time line.
