So I went on the internet and spent about 3 hours reading the history of the conflict in the region. I just kept thinking of follow-up questions and searching for opinions on the answers.<BR/><BR/>I was involved in a debate with a friend over the conflict and realized how much I still needed answered. <BR/><BR/>This is what I love about retirement, having endless time to pursue exactly the intellectual stimuli that stimulate ME. Way more interesting than researching a tax planning issue, in my opinion!Retired Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826873538970471960noreply@blogger.com
