If the Abrahamic monotheists would see all holy sites as shared with all people, imagine; pagans could visit peaceful holy lands with their monotheistic brothers and sisters too. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/30/world/middleeast/30olmert.html?_r=1&oref=slogin Even Gates seems to realize that our “world at war” foreign policy is feeding the insatiable profits of the military industrial complex. Surrounding Russia with NATO bombs pointed at them is not protecting freedom and democracy. It’s the stock market silly! http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/30/washington/30gates.html?ref=us How does it go, something like: Honor Thy father and mother and your days shall be long upon the earth. Notice that the privatized, for profit nursing homes were the worst offenders in both frequency of violations and total percentage of violators. But we demand that the government catches them in the race to the bottom.
