“A ball of fire over the promised land”

Since Israel became a state in 1948, it has been on guard against invaders from all sides, surrounded by lifelong enemies seeking its destruction. A country, which is small, always seeking a stable and peaceful relation with its neighbors. For over sixty years Israel, which believes in peaceful co-existence, has been waging a losing battle with its neighbors to stop their aggression. A longtime for any country to be concern for the security of its people and its survival.
During the war in 1991, between the US and Iraq, they endured Scuds missiles bombing attacks from Saddam Hussein against their homeland. They suffered destruction and lose of life; it is difficult to stand by idle while receiving missile over your head knowing they are killing your people, and not be able to retaliate because asked not to. You would think a country so small, and being under so much pressure for so long would be use to it by now. I cannot begin to imagine the frightening experience everyone goes through every day that lives in that country. Yet they go on with their normal every day lives with strive and perseverance with the hope of better days ahead.
Israel has shown, and exercises self-restraint, more so than any other country in the region. Showing the rest of the World, they could endure hardship and misery just as they had done during the World War II and centuries before. Still be victorious by not retaliating when the US asked not to during the war with Iraq. It takes a great people, a great nation to be well discipline-exercising self-restraint in moments of great personal danger, turmoil and misfortune. The confusion the citizens must face while getting up every morning while going on with their daily routine in trying to live a normal life must be horrendous.
When Saddam Hussein started to expand its philosophy of tyranny after the Iraq, Iran War: It would have being but a matter time before he would have attacked Israel causing an incident more disastrous than he could have imagined. More so than when he invaded Kuwait. The cruel and deadly treatment he exercised against his own people while he was the dictator of Iraq is on record for all to read.
He proved to have had weapons of mass destruction when he used poisonous gas killing thousands of people in the Northern Iraq bordering turkey. It is a known fact, that he used it against Iranian soldiers during his conflict with Iran. When Saddam Hussein realized the United States would eventually be on his doorsteps, he had no other choice but to have them transported to Syria. He had them placed in under ground bunkers somewhere in the desert. One of his former generals who knew and was aware of their locations revealed this information to the public. It would have only been a matter of time before Saddam Hussein would have expanded his power by further using them against Israel and becoming a menace in the entire region. In miscalculating his political actions, and causing bad relations with the US, Saddam Hussein brought on his own destruction and that of his country.
However, the real threat is not Iraq but Iran; they are the ones causing all the problems in the region, they were doing it before, they are doing it now. They are the ones responsible for all turmoil in the area. They are the ones who are training all the outside fighters who are coming into Iraq to kill our soldiers. They are the ones that want to see Israel wiped off from the face of the Earth with the good old USA. Iran, if left uncheck, will eventually run over the Middle East and in time challenge the USA in a nuclear war: They will first strike Israel with nuclear weapons, and use it as an excuse to fight against the USA. They are fanatics who believe that their way is the only and right way. They know we will not hesitate to come to the aid of Israel and that is what they are seeking, the end to civilization as we know it.
Iran is the country everyone should be concern with because they have a fanatical and crazy agenda behind their religious believes. They believe they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Their main objective is turning the Middle East into a ball of fire or a burning inferno. They believe, by killing themselves and taking as much of the so call infidels with them, they will reach heaven and the men will have 60 virgins waiting for them. How sad in knowing there are people with such low-level of intelligence who believing such nonsense and false expectation.
Now it looks as if they may have the ability and the means to do it. The more they keep talking, the more they keep stalling. This allows them more time in which they can complete building the bomb. Once they have it, they will use it. These people do not discriminate between the races; they offer equal opportunity to erase everyone on this planet with their nuclear bomb. They will use them there is no doubt about it… For anyone to think otherwise is very crazy.
Iran has been waging war on Israel for the longest; they have being doing it by proxy. Arming and training radical fighters such as Hezbollah and Palestinians which seeks the destruction of the Jewish state. In addition, if that was not bad enough, you have Mr. Chavez, from Venezuela and Castro from Cuba, joining forces with this nut from Iran in the search for Islamic Utopia. The match, that will light the fire in the Middle East, is in the hands of the Iranian leaders. They are getting the fire wood ready and they plan to take with them as many innocent lives as possible. That is their mission in life, which is their goal.
I call on the people of the United States, Citizens of the World, to wake up. This is the time for our government to be at its highest alert, and not be taken by surprise by a determine enemy which seeks our destruction and our way of life. An ounce of prevention could well mean our survival. We must not aloud this to happen. Not to Israel, not to any other country and certainty not the good old USA:
We must not allow ourselves to be caught with our pants down when the bombs are flying overhead. We must stop them now, because later on, will be too late. It must be done now, and it must be done in a joint effort between several countries, not just the great USA.

As if the USA had no royalty...
The tragic disappearance of John F. Kennedy Junior revealed once again Amercas compulsive passion with celebrities who are treated like aristocracy. Even JFK Jr. lacked a formal title he was de facto a prince. What do we learn from that? If a country has no noble class people will create substitutes. It makes no difference, the results are similar. For good reasons you may consider Bill Clinton a King, Monica Lewinsky his ex mistress, the White House a castle, the Kennedy clan beside other clans the noble class.

Do we like corruption? Face the facts, it's out there. And do not tell us it does not exist in YOUR country. But hard to beat Bolivia, where recently the Finance Minister of the Republic, Oscar Crespo Soliz, said the lack of economic resources impeded investigations into acts of corruption committed in public and state institutions. We are stunned.
Apart from that, Bolivia is by all means the right country to invest money. Spain's investments in Bolivia for example have mushroomed in the past several years. The top three investors in Bolivia are the United States, Italy and Spain.
