It's refreshing to see someone that does make life to be simple. People seem to throw around their opinions and make them seem like fact or reality. The reality is when we see a decision made whether it be Roe v Wade or the Versailles treaty after WWI people want to think that it's a simple 1 + 1 = 2 situation.. there are many many factors that weigh into decisions.. why you think state leaders have so many people that give them advice.. Bush doesn't know everything.. he has a think tank.. a group of people that will throw him every single possible situation.. so you come up with a plan that like a census has a certain +/- range of certainly that you think is acceptable. I wish people would understand for once that you just can't have Israel for instance move the entire population of Palistine into the surrounding countries.. sure it sounds good.. but nobody really thinks.. or even if they did think.. really know the consquences of those actions.. this is why we have governments.. think tanks.. and not a bunch of Hitlers running the world...

Lots more Jews were moved from the surrounding countries: Iraq, Jordan, Syria, etc., Jews were booted out. Don't believe everything you see on the Crescent News Network.

I don't think I disagree with your post, but I am puzzled as to whether I am the target of your first two sentences:

I though my post was about the complexities of the situation, not making it over-simple. And since most of what I said was in the "I wonder what might happen if," and "it could be" vein, I can't see that I was dogmatically throwing around opinions.

Or did you leave out a "not" in the first sentence?
