Chris, You may be interested in the below which I sent to another FWer off list. ==============
In yesterday's New York Times there was a long and interesting article on another nation that has no state. Kurdistan. One excerpt. A Kurdish human rights person said "Every Kurd wants independence but people must also take stock of the world. We should learn from history, " he said. " If Palestinians accepted the division of Palestine in 1948, they would be a well established state and the lives of thousands and thousands of Palestinians would have been saved, along with their properties and resources." Many ironies in history. arthur -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 12:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Futurework] RE: Towards a sustainable balance Lawrence DeBivort wrote: > So rather than seek for the > cause of Arab anti-American sentiment in some shortcoming of > the Arabs, let us seek it in America, and our attitudes and our > polices and our behavior: ^^^^==^ Great Freudian typo ;-) > Arabs (and many others) dislike the US more and more > because of US arrogance and bullying, not because they are > ignorant about the US. ... and in turn, Americans dislike other countries because they are ignorant (or rather: disinformed) about them.

Reagan would have said, "there you go again." Funny I thought > the UN settlement in 48 did that. Gee, that evil UN did that, huh. On behalf of whom, if I may ask? (Yah, on behalf of ze evil Brits who kicked and dragged ze poor zionists to Palestine against zeir vill.) Funny I thought the borders on the ground look different today than that evil UN settlement in 48. Something like 100% seized...
