wmw999 2,589 #1 January 25, 2005 This might be too hot a topic for SC, but, well, I'll try anyway We all know that the presence of Israel, particularly with its propensity for wanting peace on its and only its terms, is a problem in the Middle East. We also know that the presence of Cuba, 90 miles off of Florida, with its communist government, is a problem for the US. For one thing, one of our strongest allies is just way too far away. Howzabout we swap them? The Israelis should be thrilled, because Cuba is about 5 times the size of Israel. The Cubans would be farther from the US, and I have a feeling they wouldn't have nearly as much trouble sharing all that joint land with the Palestinians. Plus, then we'd get the really good cigars again. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy, if you're going to start with an assumption that blantantly one sided....well, welcome to Speaker's Corner! Not sure what the Cubans gain either.

wmw999 2,589 #9 January 25, 2005 Sorry -- it was a joke, and should have been labeled as such, I guess. I'm hoping most people would see it as such. Really.

miked10270 0 #11 January 25, 2005 LOL. Love it. But I have a better idea for world peace! What we do is move the Israeli's to North Korea. That's OK for the Isreaelis 'cos there's loads of nuclear bomb making stuff there, and there's still a neighbout to fight - it's like a home from home. Like you said, move the Cubans to Israel & retrain them to grow oranges instead of bananas. Now move the Irish Catholics to Cuba and turn the whole place into an FBI training ground. Finally, move the North Koreans to Northern Ireland. It'll give Ian Paisley a $%hitload of heathens to convert - plus, I think Kim & Paisley kind of deserve each other!! Mike.

miked10270 0 #15 January 26, 2005 Hey slug, I do my best... Unfortunately it seems me & WMW kind of share a sense of humour so it doesn't always work. Mike. PS> QUick off-topic question: Are the Mma Ramotswe books by ALexander McCall Smith as popular in Botswana as they are over here in Scotland? Regards, Mike.
