>Yeah, but the discussion is about whether it should be. Just because it is doesn't mean it should. I don't think Brunei should be a separate country from Malaysia, but it is. I think it should be. -Z

>Uhmmm, why not? If 200 million of its neighbors want it gone, that seems the democratic thing to do.... It is a sovereign country... Yeah, but the discussion is about whether it should be. Just because it is doesn't mean it should. I don't think Brunei should be a separate country from Malaysia, but it is. Israel was a mistake but I understand Z's point. Do you uproot 6 million people and try to figure out what Israel's current assets are worth and then sell Israel to the highest bidder with the proviso that the bidder must pay the moving costs of the Jewish Israelis? After all, the Israels have done a great job in improving the asset they were give. And if its doable, is it realistic? Would an Arab country step up to the plate.......really step up to the plate.....and put up the kind of cash needed? We are talking many billions of dollars.
