The flaw in your argument is that I never made either claim -- but I guess it was too much to ask to check that first.
And really, you do not have to make such claims to become the center of a big conflict; all you need to do is start a discussion about the Middle East and then try to shoot holes in the arguments from people like JDG and Gautam... Jeroen Really? Dan and I disagree about the Middle East. As do Tom and I, John and I (in the other direction), and Marvin and I. So far as I can tell, they all disagree with _each other_ as well. Yet the only person who has had problems like those you are describing is _you_. The common factor in all the problems is you. Not me, not John, not Dan, not Robert, not Bob, not the Middle East, not Israel. Just you. So - 1. Your second paragraph above is obviously false and 2. You might want to think about why the only intersection of all these things is you. Gautam
