| #5 Ala CHINA = STATE GUARANTOR OF NORTH KOREA, IMO the US Congresscritters recognize that the US-WEST, including ISRAEL, will likely be the ones primarily or wholly responsible for taking care + developing the new Paleo State - by this move, the US wants to assuage Israeli security concerns by demanding the Paleos formally recognize Israel + its right to exist, + both refrain from attacking them + prosecute those that do. |

| #4 Typically, the Saudis would step in, and give the Paleos the $200m in exchange for them stepping up attacks against the Joos. |

| #3 About time. The Palestinians have been making war for free during 60 fricking yeasr, that and living at our expenses. Peace in ME will not b when Arabs love their children more than they love theuir children but when Paleos will have to live from their work and pay for their war (that includes indemnizing their victims). |
