I've Been Thinking:

The band Guns N' Roses is scheduled to perform two concerts in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The first concert is scheduled for December 18th, the second the day after on the 19th.

Any band deciding to perform in Israel does so for several reasons. Chief among those reasons is a deep seated belief in democracy and freedom.

Any band coming to Israel, even a band as successful and popular as Guns N'Roses, will come under ugly attack. The band will pay the price for their show of support to Israel in Europe will, inevitably, there will be huge protests against them.

In the end, Guns N'Roses sides with Israel. In the end, culture triumphs. In the end, democracy will in.
