Bill, I thank you for a rational dialogue and though we disagree on some things I can respect your approach in presenting your point of view. This kind of dialogue is a good
model for what the world needs now. I think that this is what Carter is attempting to do.
I have no illusions about some Islamic leaders and their attempts at creating an institutional theocracy, some through violence. There are some rational voices in the Islamic world, however, and we must appeal to their better judgement.

There are rational voices in Israel as well and many find their way into "Har-Eretz".
We can be grateful that there is not a unanimous interest in fueling the war machine
and that there are intelligent minds guiding us toward peace.
