changing the name from I/P to Middle East or even a GD: World Politics (which could be more inclusive and useful in the long run) and relaxing some of the rules, like the ban on polls and pictures, and having everything relate to an article. I know I've seen I/P threads on the Greatest page, so that seems to have changed already. What about, besides this new forum, which would probably be higher traffic, also allowing threads in LBN. Just a thought.

| -Should we return discussion of the Mideast crisis to the I/P forum? |
