The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Both outcomes are certainly bleak.

It almost sounds like someone (perhaps a UN coalition) needs to step in decisively, remove Israel’s nuclear weapons - by force if necessary - then back away and let the whole place go to pot. It will be a humanitarian nightmare, but sometimes you have to let people get what they are asking for to learn how bad their choices are. Provide a path for well controlled emigration from the area, of course.

It may take two or three decades, but at some point, hopefully people will tire of the constant war and inherent poverty. And then - maybe - a new generation will grow up who want to live in peace more than they want to hate their neighbors.
