Dear Mr. Obama, please announce you are going to be a one term president.
Sir, you have a good chance of losing. Instead, you could announce you will not run again so you can spend your time leading our country. This will allow a new democratic candidate to emerge. You should state that you will support the candidate selected by the democratic party but not be involved in the primaries. After your first term, you will still be very young. You can spend the next eight years (or four if the republicans win) learning from you mistakes, strengthening your abilities in economics and maybe helping the world deal with some of its greatest issue. Then you can run again Continue reading

The trip through Sinai was amazing, awesome and beautiful. It took me about ten minutes to cross the border and neither side … Continue reading
Sinai and Gaza
Today, in the tour office where I was arranging a boat trip for tomorrow, I saw a map. It showed three countries, Egypt, Palestine (which covered all the area of Palestine and Israel) and Jordon. Not one Israeli city was on the map include Eilat. I wondered if this was an old map, a current map or a horrible dream of a future without Israel. It was ironic that I saw this in a tour office. Israel was the country the developed Sharm as a tourist destination during the period it occupied Sinai and it turned all that over to the Egyptians who built extended the work the Israelis did in developing Sharm as a tourist destination Continue reading
Intel secures its future (maybe)
