Hello Peter,

>PC>I still like Israel's getting into Fo ...title, but then
>PC>only to blunt the reality of this hell that has been going
>PC>on for long enough.

>RN>I don't think war in the Fertile Crescent will ever end as long as men
>RN>live there.

PC>How very true ....

Back in the Dark Ages, the Fertile Crescent was not so dark...

>RN>You should read some of my mail.  (-:

PC>Well I am reading it now...

Uh-oh...

PC>Getting back to Israel and the middle east as a region, and it's
PC>problems.

What problems?

PC>Can you imagine, the economic clout they would have, in tourism
PC>if they ever could agree, just to put the religious bickerings
PC>aside?    Last night, a friend of mine gave me a video from the
PC>region, and explained just how dumb it all is, and how each
PC>religion is clinging to this and that, not moving or giving
PC>for the common good, and all their religious believes.

Jews, Muslims and Christians have gotten along with each other for
centuries in Palestine, up until recent times.  The real issue today
is not religion, but land.  The Jews want not just what had been
granted to them by the United Nations in 1947, and not all of Palestine,
but all of the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the
Tigris-Euphrates in Iraq.

PC>There is even a ladder or remains against a wall that is in
PC>dispute, as celery fist fight over who can do what where ..etc.
PC>Apparently the ladder dates from late 1800s.

Mankind has fought over every nook and cranny on the face of this
earth.  Why should fighting over the remains against a wall be any
different?

PC>Then I see celergy fist fighting over this or what which just
PC>seems so stupid ....but so hot is the dispute and control.

Excuses, excuses.  The real issue is economic.  War is nothing
more than the exchange of real estate with human lives.  At least
with negototiation there is little or no loss of human life.

PC>No Peace .... never, and anyone living there, might as well
PC>get use to it, and if they want peace.....eliminate the other
PC>guy.   Might as well.   Bad to say, but it is just so tightly
PC>jaggered for even a border let alone anything else, they might
PC>as well decide it all by killing until only one group is left.

Maybe both sides will off each other and leave the Christians
in charge.

PC>So much for religion and a deity that is suppose to practice
PC>and encourage peace.

Long live the Goddess!
