Dianavan, four minutes before you started this thread, I posted some of the words of "People get ready" on the "You must leave now" thread, following your post. Did you see my post, or did the words you posted remind you of it too, or is it some sort of amazing coincidence? Just curious.

I would like to think that there is cause for hope for the people of the middle east. Maybe a new age is dawning - I really hope so. That idea about Canada has a lot of merit, I think. I have never been there, but from what I have heard, it does seem to be more enlightened in lots of ways than many other countries, my own (Australia) included.
