Part five of a series: On the Politics of Water

Jake, my friend, its so HARD to react to some of the ideas which you propose, in this e-mail format. How I wish that we could meet in person, and attempt to talk through some of these issues! While I love e-mail, it's so limiting in terms of the amount of information that can be conveyed within a message of reasonable length....

It is very nice to read again your lines, Charles. Interestingly, NOW you prefer the personal touch! I would say that previous --religious-- issues have been covered and we can now advance to positivistic ones.

About what you wrote: "The number 60 is in the 360 degrees, 60 minutes, 60 seconds. 24 hours is a 2/5 of 60." Jake, sometimes you sound like a Kabalist! Your mind surely does have a mystical bent!!

I have the time to read a lot. This is just Babylonian stuff.

And about: "Our leaders still have the complex of having to show the goyim that we do not poison wells, etc. Some day I will write this line of thinking more clearly and with a lot of pathos; perhaps you will show it then to your well-connected preacher friend?": Jake, I very much look forward to hearing more clearly what your meaning here is. I would indeed like to share it with my preacher!

Charles, please allow me to give you some information about matters in our region:

a) Iran's strategy is to take over Lebanon, first through political maneuvers.
b) Hisbullah is a political movement that uses philanthropy to buy poor Lebanese peasants' hearts and minds.
c) The 'fighters' believe they are fulfilling the 'sacred duty' of expelling the Jewish (and Christian) --both 'people of the book'-- unbelievers in Mohammed and Allah.
d) These 'liberty fighters' are killing and being killed in order to learn how to fight when the time comes to take over Lebanon, together with their South Lebanon's peasant comrades-in-arms.
e) Syria's Assad killed 5,000 Moslem Brothers because his interest is not Islam. He knows Iran's strategy, and Iran knows that he knows. Assad helps Iran's Hisbullah for his own purposes concerning the Golan Heights, and certainly not for Lebanon's sake. Without the Golan water sources we will perish of thirst!
f) The Lebanese government is part and parcel of Syria's concern about Lebanon's takeover by Hisbullah.
g) Iran knows that Syria and Lebanon plan to destroy Hisbullah the moment Israel retires safely from Lebanon or returns the Golan.
h) The USA is interested in solving the current impasse here in order to join forces with Syria and Lebanon against Iran's plans. That's the USA's purpose of 'Peace' here. Or may be the USA is not privy to my knowledge, in which case your preacher friend may share this information with his high-level White House contacts, after writing to me.
i) There are good chances that we will see in a not too distant future clear signs of cracks in the Arab favorable attitude toward Hisbullah.
