Peace Talk Strategy for Success

Start Up Peace Talks Now and Be Practical in Choosing a Course of Action

For a true long term peace, the combatants must all be recognized as a legal representative before negotiations begin. Initially negotiate by giving a speech in alphabetical order, then another speech round unless their time is given to a sponsor, allowing for leaders to emerge naturally. Taking all the existing alliances into account, allow free talk aimed at settling disputes and seeking peace. All members must have interpreters.

Members will include representatives of all interested groups irregardless of prior activities. These groups will suspend hostilities while they meet. Criminal gangs cannot be in control of the homeland.

USA, Iraq, Iran, Britain, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, Baath, Taliban, Israel, Hamas, United Nations, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Rafsanjani, al Sadr Russia, France, European Union, The ‘Stans, Turkey …There must be others. I don’t know all the names, only categories that include various political groups and heads of state. Nobody is too good to sit next to anybody. Everyone will be required to submit a negotiating position paper prior to attendance.

No complaint about your tablemate. This is what is now. Perhaps the future will be different. You must adapt to existing conditions and not focus on a pipedream or the past. Elimination of groups is not allowed. All should listen to all in honor of the fallen.

Peace from Israel and in Israel, peace for Palestine and Iraq and others in order to usher in PAX GLOBAL. Start over today to avoid the sins of the fathers to be forever visited upon the children, the hell on Earth forevermore. Freedom takes space. Who is there is who is there but losses must be paid. In a shrinking world, land is what people fight over. No more land grabs. Remember, there’s land in outer space, along with resources and riches but exploration is crippled while wars continue.

One huge peace to begin PAX GLOBAL and the grand era of world cooperation. We need an unfettered meeting of the minds after all preconceived notions and orders are cast aside. Nobody can tell anybody who they can talk to and nobody may refuse to listen to another. All sides will be heard.

The world community has problems greater than just the causes of violence that could be settled without more bloodshed. Payments in the currency or goods of your choice. Study reparations carefully. Settle something. Each gives a bit and compromises to a workable solution. Think of the benefits of peace.

And the warmongers in all groups should find another amusement.

I would our generation give the gift of peace.

Water War I

I’ve heard of hassles over water holes but this one takes the cake Empress Marie Antoinette meant when she said let ‘em eat cake.

What are the Lebanese eating these days? This war has caused a huge expenditure on the part of those afflicted and those obligated to assist. I think legal action on the part of the world court on behalf of civilian casualties against the perpetrator of an undeclared war is justified and must be encouraged. This war is a waste of resources and a human tragedy that will not make Israel safe. It is foolish to take the same action and get the same violent results time after time without changing the approach hoping to find a different, more peaceable result.

The justification for war being prepared six years still came out weak, like a parrot squawking by the Litani River.

I hear on the news that Iran might be using Hezbollah as a puppet and that Russia supports Iran. Israel has The Bomb but this is not mentioned. Maybe other Moslem nations fear Iran as a leader.

I think Israel is a bit triggerhappy, like the old Indian who directed an attack on whites without knowing they all had hordes of relatives who came to take his water. Military action aimed at taking Lebanon’s largest river in one of the most arid deserts of the world is suggested. That river valley is quite valuable land and priceless water. Covet not or you will be led to perdition. An arrogant military attitude based on the fact that they possess the ultimate weapon defines a consciousness towards using it if tactics are based on it. Shame on the warmongers.

I call for an immediate cease fire in this midst of the summer growing season. People have better things to do than kill each other.

Pray for peace.

WAR

Activities in the Middle East point to the necessity of an immediate cease fire. Ganglike behavior unknown to the government is not unheard of. Perhaps the Israelis bit off more than they could chew when they rolled into Gaza, then encountered a distracting problem from Hezbollah based in Lebanon. Rolling over the Palestinians made a good exercise but this new thing could strain supplies and wound an economy.

Did this new Israeli government promise death in the form of provoked foreign rockets? Pride goeth before a fall. Endurance and negotiation is much better than aggression and depletion. Perhaps supplies might not be delivered so quickly. The price of fuel will be a limiting factor, plus availability as a bottom line.

War is depletion and waste. Cast aside anger and prepare for a less plentiful future or investments in research and development. Squandering resources is not adaptive behavior. Israel cannot expect to strip the USA of supplies. Our people in the field will not experience shortages in order to supply an ill conceived Israeli war.

Warmongers suggest attacking Syria on behalf of Israel, thus defeating Israel’s enemies and making the world safe for them. They should understand that a peace, no matter disturbed by gang activity, is better than what Israel is getting now. Only arrogance will explain the foolishness of opening a war with a well armed enemy, when a fragile peace had reigned. Perhaps the Israeli military did not expect any reprisal from instigating military action. The Israel leadership should have expected it. This problem will not be solved through war.

Ehud Olmert is making quite a name for himself. The beginning of World War III will grace his family if this continues. The casualties on both sides are pathetic reminders of human fragility.

I call for a cease fire and actual cooperation with UN peacekeeping delegates!

Arizona State Trust Lands

Our Precious State Trust Lands


Shortsighted decision making on the part of State Land Commissioner Realtor Mark Winkleman limits the possibilities of the present State Land Department. Since state trust land is leased for agriculture and grazing, then it makes sense to lease lands to the cities for preserves and to the universities for study areas.

Managing the state trust lands calls for more thought than single minded selling of all 9,000,000 acres, leaving the state with a portfolio of shares based on monetary value. Inflation is officially here and monetary funds are worth less each day under these inflationary conditions. Trading unique real estate assets for paper seems foolish in this business climate. The intrinsic value of the state trust lands is irreplaceable.

Arizona has a water supply problem looming and the development of more state trust land into water thirsty housing is irresponsible. Watersheds need to be protected and groundwater must be used carefully. The State Land Department is part of the government of Arizona and thus is subject to the public trust. Disposing of state lands is not in the public interest. More grazing and leases for preserves, study areas and watersheds would produce a steady income and a better quality of life for residents, plus the added benefit of state retention of the land.

Annexation and Tech Park in Tucson

So the UA wants to build a biosciences park in one place and a science and technology park in another place and KB Homes is squawking unfair because the City Council has recognized that groundwater should not be used on golf courses and is balking on the deal. Now KB Homes will kill the deal and not build more homes, if they don’t get the golf course. They already knew there is policy against using drinking water to water golf courses. They are probably just trying to weasel out on the deal because of the housing glut. It is totally unreasonable to demand that a golf course be watered with drinking water.

A golf course? How necessary is that? Not at all. Have a shuttle to another one, for God’s sake, or build one in Louisiana where there’s plenty of grass. How about a desert tree botanical park with a pupfish exhibit using tiny ponds? There must be some alternative.

The article in the Arizona Daily Star said the UA owns the water rights and could install wells and pump merrily away until the water runs dry. I certainly hope our August University would use policy based on research done by their very own faculty. Honchos at the UA should contact the Arizona Department of Water Resources, Tucson Water and the appropriate UA departments who would counsel them as to the proper thing to do, given that water is a public resource. CAP recharge water does not need the added stress of pumping from the UA land.

Possibly more housing is not needed at this time. Some local realtors think Tucson is overbuilt.

Why can’t the UA build the biociences center and the science and technology center at the same location? Use a shuttle to connect the UA with this mega center. Consolidation could save construction costs, which have been hard hit by inflation.
