I'm just hoping that the new President of Iran is willing to show the world that Iran's Uranium enrichment program is being done STRICTLY for the use of Uranium as a fuel in nuclear reactors.

This "catch me if you can" game that the former president was playing is like playing Russian Roulette with the human race. If we poison this good Earth that we live on with radiation, there is no where else to go.

Almost certainly, life is abundant in our galaxy and universe, but the distances between planets that can support life are so vast that our moving anywhere else won't be feasible for hundreds of years. This playing games with nuclear weapons is the last thing we need.

It's unpopular to say it out loud, but the reason for the hatred of America in the middle east is entirely due to America's support of Israel. At the end of WWII, a congress of Jewish leaders decided that the only way to prevent another holocaust was to have a Jewish homeland. Britain still had colonies in the middle east, and decided that "Palestine" would made a good Jewish homeland. But the kicker was that the Palestinians would be denied their homeland.

Maybe the time has come to recognize that the decision to create a Jewish homeland in 1947 (I think it was) was a mistake after all, and maybe it's best for all concerned to return Israel to the Palestinian people and for the Jewish people not to have a separate home land but to live amongst the other people's of the world as a separate religion, as they have done for the last two thousand years (at least).

I would volunteer northern Manitoba or Western Ontario as a Jewish homeland. Both areas are rich in natural resources, sparsely populated, but cold in winter. Jewish people are industrious, and so they would make something of that land. They would have to agree to become Canadian citizens tho, cuz I wouldn't want Jewish separation to threaten to tear Canada apart just as Quebec separation is continuously threatening to split Canada into pieces.
