...founding of Israel in May 1948 is in reality one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history. Those who reside in the West Bank and Gaza as well as the millions of refugees forced to flee and never allowed to return acknowledge the day for what it is: the catastrophe. The continued violation of Palestinian human rights is clear and well-documented, albeit ferociously undermined and consciously distorted by Israel and Israel's U.S. supporters. It is ironic that 2008 is also the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the apartheid regime in South Africa, which only lasted...
...loss to find even one instance of Israelis speaking of "driving the Arabs into the desert sands," as McGirk claims [May 19]. To the contrary: most Israelis would be content for Palestinians to establish a peaceful state in the West Bank and Gaza and, in return, let Israelis live in peace in Israel. Regrettably for both, as long as several major Arab factions are sworn to the destruction of Israel, this will not happen. Arye Ephrath, Fairfax, Virginia...
...which would make it at least comparable to what we spend on medical research each year at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). And I propose, with the same sense of mission that gave rise to NASA and NIH, that we create a National Institutes of Sustainable Technology. A return to America's can-do attitude of the 1960s would help make the U.S. a winner in countless ways. We would help put a brake on our contribution to climate change, lower America's dependence on the tumultuous Middle East and reclaim our competitive edge in science, technology...
...less-than-glamorous side. The Savannah port's top export by volume is wood pulp. Other biggies include paper and paperboard, "drilling mud," kaolin clay, fabric and frozen chicken parts--in particular, chicken feet, beloved by Chinese gourmets. "We're sending raw materials to foreign countries, and in return, generally speaking, we're receiving finished goods," says John Trent, director of operations for the Georgia Ports Authority, which runs the Savannah port and a smaller operation in Brunswick that specializes in cars and bulk materials. What goes out weighs more, but it's not worth more...
...abolish the IRS and adopt the Fair Tax. If everyone "who stays in America pays for America," there would be no reason to fund bloated federal bureaucracies to pursue tax scofflaws. Every person would pay 23% on every new car, suit, pair of shoes, radio or home. In return, individuals and companies would pay no income tax. With no disincentives to earning more, investment would boom. The stronger dollar would also deflate the price of oil, killing two birds with one stone. John P. Kuchta Jr., VIRGINIA BEACH...
