Seems to indicate a convergance of events that may lead to a new renaissance.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>JKJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283312915111581912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200276.post-7576034778092943072008-05-20T17:55:00.000-04:002008-05-20T17:55:00.000-04:00Why does George Bush hold King Abdullah's hand?
