| It's all about prioritizing. I have to start on papers in the beginning of a semester, for instance, because I know my schedule will get even crazier the closer I get to the end of the semester. My goal is to have research done or mostly done by the time mid-terms come around, so that all I have to ... |

| The only problem with the "Let's support the Israeli left" idea is that the reality of Israeli politics is that the religious parties have enough voter support that leaving them out of a coalition government is virtually impossible, especially with Shas and increasingly Yisrael Beiteinu. If you want... |

As for Saudi Arabia possibly allowing Israeli overflights to bomb Iran...for a chance... |

| Great idea...except for the fact that if the fallout went into the West Bank, they're also making that land uninhabitable for themselves...and they'd kill off any supporters they have there. |

| Especially since (depending on the size of the nuke and its yield) a strong possibility exists that they'd end up either nuking themselves at the same time or get hit by the radioactive fallout. |

| Sand, do you really think Israeli politicians are crazy enough to launch a first strike against Iran? They wouldn't profit from doing so, and in fact, their allies would desert them. The only way Israel is getting away with nuking anybody is if the country is being overrun, and defeat is certain. In... |

| Depends on how you look at it...in Lebanon, for example, there is a significant Arab Christian population (Mennonite, I think, but I might be wrong)...it's significantly large enough that it affects Lebanese politics. Egypt also has a large Christian population, mainly Coptic Christians. Some Arab c... |

| Last time I checked, the US was putting missile DEFENSE systems in countries surrounding Russia. Bit of a difference from what you're thinking of (Cold War). And hey guess what, after the Israelis bombed the nuclear reactors the Iraqs and Syrians were working on, they didn't try it again, did they? ... |

This stems from the fact that this is what... |
