Sadly, this is what happens when the only voice of reason is reduced to each of his words being analysed by wicked people who have no idea, no concept and nothing to say about The Middle East.

Jim is a man who I have disagreed with on many subjects and I am on record as saying he could start an argument in an empty room. However..

just because he is a lone voice on this pointless thread doesn't make the general thrust of his comments wrong. The hyenas circling him, looking at each other smugly because they think their distortions have put him down are rather sickening to enlightened minds.

Everybody is going to sort out the Middle East eh? Why now? Nobody managed it over the last 2,000 years although if there was ever a chance, we fucked it up when we invented both Israel and Palestine and kept quiet when both sides claimed divine right rather than government civil servants who drew the boundaries.
