The title simultaneoulsy calls to mind Fred Roger’s "Neighborhood of Make Believe" and a certain long-running Australian soap opera; yet, there’s much to admire in the latest exercise in odd-couplish group blogdom, "Good Neighbours" (H/T Totten):
Welcome to Good Neighbors! Here you will find a communal effort designed to increase dialogue and understanding between all of the neighboring countries in the Middle East including Jordanians, Lebanese, Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Saudis, Iranians, and Syrians on a cross-country level, as well as to increase understanding, respect and dialogue among the various strata of society within our countries. This is a first of its kind region-building initiative and we invite you to pull up a chair and help make it a success!
Worth keeping an eye on.

I loved that show, Dan. Felicity Kendall was absolutely beautiful back then.
