...waiting for technological innovation to save the day. The best suggestion that Stoll can offer us is an increased “efficiency,” but this seems like a band-aid solution at best. Even if we all use fewer squares of toilet paper each time we wipe, we’re still going to need more of it if our population, life expectancy, and beverage consumption continue to grow.

In other words, forget about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's threats to wipe Israel off the map. Echoing views he initially expressed in 2003, Olmert reasons that without an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, the Jewish state faces the self-inflicted, mortal danger of being destroyed by demographics, overwhelmed by Muslim and Christian Arabs demanding political representation. Olmert fears that the international community could ultimately favor a one-state solution...
