As I said in the original posting, the tragedy is with having two nations, (both of them ancient as a culture and new as a political force) claiming the same piece of land as a home. S***** throwers and hot-head fanatics are present (in too large numbers) in both camps. Reviewing old history books will not get us anyhwere. Striving towards a solution will. It is my opinion that there are no rights or wrongs in politics, only winners and losers. I would like VERY much for my son not to go into the army to fight another stupid war drummed up by some old senile or ruthless politician (be it Israeli, Palestinian, American or Soviet). I do NOT care! I want to leave in peace! I will do everything I can to strive for peace. However: as long as peace alludes us, it is very important to keep strong and healthy and I will continue doing that. SOF(lame) I did not see much in a way of denial to most of my points. I am happy to see that. Maybe there is hope after all. EOF(lame)
