I don't see you being consistent here. Sometimes you advocate the rights of conquest. Rights? It has NOTHING to do with RIGHTS.. It has to do with REALITY. I can't change history, only attempt to alter the future for the positive. Israel literally BEGGED Jordan not to attack them in 1967. But King Hussein decided to listen to Nasser's lies about his surviving military forces (especially his air force) and persuaded Hussein that Israel might be defeated (which means.. wiped out).. Thus, the war Nasser and Hussein waged against Israel was a war of annihilation. They're lucky the Israelis didn't reciprocate and annihilate them, rather than merely seizing the Sinai, West Bank, and Gaza (not to forget about the Syrians who were plotting to attack Israel and wound up losing the Golan Heights). So do I feel a lot of sympathy for Israel's Arab neighbors for their geographical losses? Not particularly. They are just as responsible for the situation in the West Bank and Gaza as anything the Israelis might be responsible for. Its the farmland and water I see as the issue. Certainly.. And hasn't that ALWAYS been a history problem in that region? But it can be resolved, but it will require Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey, working in concert to create a regional water resource management program. Until then, people are just going to do what they need to do rather than die of thirst. What is your view on them? I keep asking, but you keep dodging. S. Africa is not a specialty of mine. That's why I don't normally include the country as part of my examples. The problem comes when the house you live in belonged to the grandparents of those currently throwing rocks at you. Except that their grandparents stole the house from me and then proceeded to redecorate the property to their own taste. Hawk
