At first, I thought Israel was a province of the United States. Then I became convinced that the United States was a province of Israel.

A 2780 years old Israelite tablet was found just yesterday. It was hard to translate it but apparently it says that just in 2-3 years Persians will develop nuclear weapon.

I am Iranian, and I believe that with you champions of peace around the world, we can safely emerge from this global crisis fueled by merchants of war. 'Unite against war for global peace!'

Iranian Foreign Minster, Abbas Araghchi (today): *_"They, perhaps, had this plan in their mind, and they just needed negotiations, perhaps, to cover it up. We don't know how we can trust them any more. What they did was, in fact, a betrayal of diplomacy._*

I am reminded of an encounter in Yosemite with an older couple from AUSTRALIA. We were on our motorcycle and met them at a Vista pullout. This was the final leg of their world ride. Ending in SF and flying back to Australia. 2005 ish. I asked what was the best country they visited. The answer sticks with me. Iran. The description of the hospitality of the Persian folks blew my mind. Flat tire in the boonies and welcomed by the locals. Raving endorsement by 2 regular folks really changed my opinion back in 05 ish. We are lied to sooo much i don't believe anything the bosses say anymore. Israel is the little guy who gets drunk and starts fights "ya you Todd" then you're in it. Thanks for the sanity gentleman. Cheers
