Re: Some joyous tidings from Israel
Perhaps, but that's world politics for you. The only cure is to have half a dozen empires ruling the planet instead of the current 200+ states. Empires are far too big, far too rich, have too much to lose and too little to gain to risk wars. These days the epitome of conflict betwen the big boys is their respective ambassadors expressing "concern" or "dismay" at one another....Originally Posted by Watchman
Ahh, Napoleon III was right when he said: "Empire equals peace"
