I don't think they would have time to communicate in writing on their way to Union Station. Thanks for your post. That's interesting, indeed. I'm still trying to understand why Middle East/arabs HATE Jews and Americans. There are always so many different stories about the conflict to the point where I couldn't grasp the whole thing.

I read "Reading Lolita in Tehran" some time ago, and found it inspirating. Fortunately, I'm from Egypt and it's quite conservative compared to Iran. I have a quote from Ariel Sharon I'd like to contribute to: "Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about the American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."

QUOTE http://www.chomsky.info/interviews/20060807.htm What steps do you recommend for the current hostilities to be brought to an end and a lasting peace established? NC: The basic steps are well understood: a cease-fire and exchange of prisoners; withdrawal of occupying forces; continuation of the "national dialogue" within Lebanon; and acceptance of the very broad international consensus on a two-state settlement for Israel-Palestine, which has been unilaterally blocked by the United States and Israel for thirty years. There is, as always, much more to say, but those are the essentials.
