while Mother Nature provides us with one (and for free)! Time to follow China, child-loving (pun intended) followers of Religion of Peace??? (I guess it'll be a problem for the Shahid-recruiting)

will be more inportant than oil. And who have the tecnology and the know how for It..... israel Not Pales....

is not going away The geopolitical ramifications of water contention in the Euphrates region are very very serious And what happens to equitable water sharing vis Iran when they attempt blackmail with nuclear weapons?

North Africa et al were once the breadbaskets of the Roman Empire. Then, when the Islamic surge began in the mid seventh century, the influx of goats literally stripped the land. Water instead of being held in the soil simply drained off. If your culture does not respect the land, the land will repay you in kind.

what if, instead of dabbling with nuclear weapons, as syria, iraq and iran all have, they had devoted those same billions of petro-dollars to something like water desalination? but i guess the welfare of their own people just doesn't occur to 3 of the worst tyrannies on earth...

Did they bring the goats with them for comfort or food.
