"People get married earlier in the ME. It is a different way of life" Have you read "Reading Lolita in Tehran." I guess at the time, 70s, the book says the legal marrying age is nine. Anyway, while you say it is a "different way of life," it is not one young girls who get married off appreciate. at least according to the author. amazon.com Yes I was talking about the paraplegic guy, Hamas took credit for the somewhat foiled attack that was aimed at killing thousands. "Separate countries." I wasn't talking separate countries, I was talking about a situation where the PA overruns Israel and takes over, what do you expect the fate of Israeli jews would be then, same as the rest of the middle east? Where are all the jewish communities gone. Where are all their religious shrines gone in arab countries. The PA goal is to vanquish Israel, if successful you see a better life for everyone? A good place for people such as yourself to live. For jewish people?

I would not want to spend my life living in a future Palestine, if it's going to be a smaller Iran, either. Still, they are human beings who have the right to draw their own future in whatever way they see fit. That this future might be far from YOUR ideal way of life does not change the FACT that they have the right to shape their own future. Surprisingly, given their status as 'refugees', I believe Palestinians are the best educated of all the Arabs, if not Muslims as well. Actually, I think Iran is the best educated Muslim state.......still its surprising to me that the Palestinians beat out the Saudis. ted
