It seems that you get in the middle of the threads and never noticed that I always try to make people see why things are not as good as they can be and explaining why. That is being diplomatic.

I have followed this thread through from the beginning. I have read every message in it. My comments are based on reading them all.

I do that, the problem is that people tend to ignore the points until you are direct and put the things the way they are.

The problem is you *think* you do that, but it doesn't come over like that.

You should pay more attention and read threads from the beginning. Some threads are just continuation of old subjects. Read the archives instead of jumping to conclusions based on just the last messages.

See above.... I've read nearly every thread on this list in which you have posted since Jan 2001 when I first joined. I have an archive of certain ones as they generally contain good, informative content.

You seem like those that want to solve the conflicts of the middle-east without understanding the history of at least the last 6 decades. That way the problems will never be solved. No, I am not going to explain what this means. Do your homework, study history and learn how things got to be the way they are.

... and stop assuming that everyone else is an idiot. I know the above (pity the politicians don't). I'd actually say that you need to go back much further than 6 decades though - IMHO the book of Genesis is a good place to start for Middle East history ;-) Peter -- Maple Design - quality web design and programming http://www.mapledesign.co.uk
