Most underreported story of September is...


...well, according to me, the chaos following the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Looting, synagogue torchings and a flow of weapons into Gaza from Egypt leaves the Middle East--and the world--less safer than it was on September 1.

And we weren't that safe then.

Yes, Hurricane Katrina and the storm's aftermath dominated the news for most of September, making it difficult for other important stories to receive attention. But the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and the continuing violence going on there, should have been covered more extensively by the media.

This story is not going away.
