The next war will be fought over water rights. It may be between Israel and
Syria (the Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee); India and Pakistan (the
Indus); Turkey, Syria, and Iraq (the Euphrates); or the U.S. and Mexico (the
Rio Grande)--among many, many possibilities. Oil is relatively passe; there
are, after all, alternative sources of energy that can be developed when the
petroleum runs out. But there is *nothing* left when the water runs out...
And we dare not deprive the rich of their swimming pools, do we?

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
