advocating for the bombing of Iran, that is most usually a neo-con position.

While I appreciate that you would like peace in the Middle East, perhaps you should give some thought as to why we don't have it.

This whole mess is the creation of the "oh so very Christian" west, which did damned little to stop Hitler before he killed 6 million Jews and little to nothing to give them refuge before the war broke out and made that impossible. Why anyone thought the people of Palestine would be willing to give up their homes or sovereignty to the new nation of Israel has always baffled me.

As to respecting borders...which borders, those set in 1948, 1967, 1980 or the flexible border with the West Bank which has Israeli settlers taking over Palestinian territory as regularly as the sun rises? Netanyahu's real problem with Obama is not Iran, that's just his excuse...his real problem is that Obama has called for a pull back to the 1967 borders.

The Jews you were so impressed with in the video you posted have their own agenda, the only respectable part of which is their desire to protect the few Jews remaining in Iran.

In 1940 the state of Nevada had a population of about 110,000 people....and 110,567 square miles of land....In 1930 there were 91,058 people living on that 110,567 square miles....If we were going to settle the surviving Jews in a desert, why not Nevada? Israel is only 8,367 square miles after all.

I'm not saying that's what we could have done, but perhaps what we should have done.
