Given your knowledge of the Middle East, what do you think the USA should do as far as Syria is concerned?

As you are so knowledgeable about Turkey, perhaps you could explain the Turkish side of the Armenian holocaust.

zonder, "how do you explain Israel having no constitution..?" I found this link which seems to explain it fairly well. jcpa.org You are correct that Israel does not have a complete constitution, but they do use a series of written texts that has been recognized by Israel's high court as constitutional. So far I have not been able to find much in the way of Israeli laws that reserve preferential treatment for the relgiously devout. Do you have anything more on this? I wouldn't mind checking it out further. You've got me curious.

"laws being based on the BABYLONIAN TALMUD (the rabbis call it the oral Torah), not the written Torah or Old Testament. Whenever there is a dispute about the law, it is the Talmud that is the final word, not the Torah--Old Testament. Orthodox rabbis purposefully confuse the issue by referring to both the Babyloinian Talmud and the Torah as the TORAH. The interpretation or commentaries in the Talmud (or Mishna Torah as Maimonides referred to the oral Torah) always are, again, the final word in modern Israeli law.
