Between the disparity in IP addresses, names you use, your behaviour on Richard's site, and your persistent failure to address points raised I can only conclude that you are not here to argue in good faith.

They flew in from their [retirement] home in the Eastern Med. They live in a Muslim [secular] country, just abouit a half hour flight from Syria, and 10 or 15 minutes further from Lebanon. They are here for several weeks, but as they have other [far flung throughout England] family to visit, I'm unsure as to when they'll fit me into their intinery. I can't wait to see them -- and to talk. And for what it's worth, my brother is no dummy nor naieve layman -- when he did retire a couple or three years ago, it was from the MOD.

And even though I don't agree with you, from previous 'comments' I've added to my own site you may have learned that I dont 'do' debates. I post things as I see them, invariably backing up my 'informed' opinions with reliably sourced cites/links. Then I usually respond/reply and thank [or not]others for their input - particularly, for well researched contribution also in the form of other links to other reliable sources. Additionally, you may have noticed that most posters at This Old Brit, dont 'do' debates either. I can only assume that they, like me, know from past experience that true 'debate' online without a 'chair' isn't possible -- whilst 'arguments' all to often are claimed to be debates. One more thing though, I had already recognised you as the 'younger' Brit of my place and wondered why you needed two monikers. jrum, since you’re civil you’re welcome to hang round my place.

AS Mark says rightly, you can live without oil but you can't live without water. It pays to think in basic, basic building blocks. Most of the details we are fed are mainly to obscure the bleedin' obvious truth And what do desalination plants run on?

Now that you've looked at a map and seen where the Litani and its watershed are you're backing off. Well done.
