You ask if I'm a zionist. Hmmm, I don't really know. My father was a bigtime zionist, but he fought in WWII and I can understand his zeal for a Jewish state. I'm not even sure what a zionist is anymore, to be honest. Do I think Israel should exist? Yes, if only because it's been there for 50 years. Did it come into existence through brute force? Probably, but name one country that hasn't. At this point, I just want everyone to learn to live together. My solution (if anyone cares) is to make Jerusalem the first international city. After all, it's the sacred nexus of 3 big religions. Put the U.N. there. Make residency and entry open to every citizen of Earth. It could happen, no?

Excuse me while I take another hit...

As for me, I was born in New York City and now reside in Washington, DC.

BTW, my wife's relatives are in Belfast.
