Bravo!	This is the clearest explanation of the situation in the middle 
east I've seen.  The concise historical context was very useful too.  And 
I found the hopeful note you ended on inspiring.  Everyone should read 
this.

I converted it to html so you don't have to deal with MS Word:

     (pardon the spurious hyphens -- Grandpa, if you want to send me a copy
      with hyphens removed, I'll post an updated copy)
