The Middle East is getting hotter and I think it will blow soon. Did you know that August 22 was the day that Saladin kicked the Crusaders out of Jerusalem?so it seems interesting that Iran picked that day to respond to the Uraniam cessation package. 9/11 was done on the day that Charles Marten stopped the Turks advance into Europe. 3/11 was the day that the Moors were kicked out of Spain. Get the point. Also, I have some advice on how to keep cool without air conditioning. If you take some inexpensive box fans and place one facing in at one window and one facing out at the window closest to the bed it gets pretty cool at night. jill Hi Neo Neocom

(For those not on the East coast, try it this way: Israel is smaller than Lake Michigan!) http://www.iris.org.il/sizemaps.htm In the central area - encompassing Haifa, Tel-Aviv, and Jerusalem - Israel is just 12-13 miles wide without the West Bank! We hosted a group from Texas during the go-go years of Oslo. From a hilltop overlooking Tel-Aviv in "disputed" territory, we took out the maps, and said "according to this plan, the border will go here. According to that plan, the border will go there." One guy looked up and said, "Buddy, I'm from Texas. And by Texas standards - you're whole country's border!"
