All politicians fail to comprehend the reality of our human dilemma, so their compromises do more harm than good. For example the Israeli/Palastinian dispute is caused by the growth of both populations on territory far too small to accomodate either of them. But everyone refuses to admit it, so they encroach upon each other and attack each other while the rest of the World takes one side or the other, refusing to face the reality of invasion by population explosion. The solution is a joint U.N./NATO mandate to peacefully reduce BOTH populations through family planning programs, and education of the children for peaceful coexistence. But if the politicians refuse even to talk about it, and if the public is not told about it, war is made inevitable, as in so many similar situations throughout history. Compromise is necessary, but first everyone needs to face the facts on the ground, the reality of growing populations in conflict for diminishing resources.

You BBC Editors posted my comments, but in isolation to be certain no BBC readers would see them. I suppose you think that's clever, but it's really a slimy method of censorship. So, are you proud of yourselves? If you had a scrap of moral courage you would feel ashamed.
