Perhaps something is wrong with me, but that was a painfully boring video, despite being about something quite awesome.

If you consider the alternative, it's a cheap investment. Imagine if they destroyed just one apartment building. That's already potentially $1M in damage.

When a litterbox contains some of the world's best treasures and resources, spiritual and material, it becomes more like a jewelry box.

Thanks, that's a nice analogy.

Judea and Sumeria are the Biblical names for the geographic areas south and north of Jerusalem. In an attempt to wipe out any connection to the Jews, these regions have been referred to by other names, such as the occupied territories. See here: [www.youtube.com]
