Keep saying it.  Some day you will be correct.  Personally I don't think
either of us will be around to see it.  Current predictions show China and
India as maybe 2 and 3 to the US economy in 10 years or so.  I don't think
it will happen.

So what is your position?  You won't answer.  Should Israel being done away
with?  Have no land?  I think everything is working towards the 1967
borders and seems fair to me.

What country does believe in anything but their interests and power?  You
think Russian, India and China are in it for any other reasons?  Looking at
the past records of Russia and China, I would trust them very far.  How
many of their own people have those two countries killed in the 20th
century?
