“Magnus called me and asked me to come and see you. He tried to reach you, but he couldn鈥檛. He wants you to put him in touch with the Praetor Lupus.鈥�

“Maia pulled on a braid. "I ran into Eric of all people. He told me what happened and that you'd backed out of Millenium Lint's gigs for the past two weeks because of it."
"Actually, they changed their name," Jordan said. "They're Midnight Burrito now.”

“What are you looking at?" Jordan demanded finally, watching
her.

"A dragon." When he looked bewildered she lifted her arm and pointed to the sky in the southeast. "Right there鈥攖hat cloud鈥攚hat do you see when you look at it?"

"A fat cloud."

Alexandra rolled her eyes at him. "What else do you see?"

He was quiet for a moment studying the sky. "Five more fat clouds
and three thin ones.”

“Biting her lip to stop her chin from quivering, Alexandra raised her eyes to his. "I think," she whispered, trying to smile, "I shall wear the ruby on Queen's Race day, so that when I tie my ribbon on your sleeve鈥�"

With a groan, Jordan pulled her into his arms.

"Now that you've said all those other things," she whispered when he finally lifted his lips from hers several minutes later, "do you think you could possibly say 'I love you'? I've been waiting to hear that since you began and鈥�"

"I love you," he said fiercely. "I love you," he whispered softly, burying his face in her hair. "I love you," he groaned, kissing her lips. "I love you, I love you, I love you鈥�”

“Israel's demonstration of its military prowess in 1967 confirmed its status as a 'strategic asset,' as did its moves to prevent Syrian intervention in Jordan in 1970 in support of the PLO. Under the Nixon doctrine, Israel and Iran were to be 'the guardians of the Gulf,' and after the fall of the Shah, Israel's perceived role was enhanced. Meanwhile, Israel has provided subsidiary services elsewhere, including Latin America, where direct US support for the most murderous regimes has been impeded by Congress. While there has been internal debate and some fluctuation in US policy, much exaggerated in discussion here, it has been generally true that US support for Israel's militarization and expansion reflected the estimate of its power in the region.

The effect has been to turn Israel into a militarized state completely dependent on US aid, willing to undertake tasks that few can endure, such as participation in Guatemalan genocide. For Israel, this is a moral disaster and will eventually become a physical disaster as well. For the Palestinians and many others, it has been a catastrophe, as it may sooner or later be for the entire world, with the growing danger of superpower confrontation.”

“When the internal critic puts you down using such comparisons, here's how it operates:
First, it selects a single, arbitrary domain of comparison ( fame, maybe, or power).
Then it acts as if that domain is the only one that is relevant. Then it contrasts you unfavorably with someone truly stellar, within that domain.

It can take that final step even further, using the unbridgeable gap between you and its target of comparison as evidence for the fundamental injustice of life. That way your motivation to do anything at all can be most effectively undermined.”

“The Perea family is of Arabic origin. The surname Perea originates from the Arabic word 鈥淏ariya鈥� and denotes a homeland now located in modern-day Jordan. This surname was phonetically changed in Spanish to 鈥淧erea,鈥� which commonly happened with Arabic words absorbed into Spanish鈥攊ncluding the word 鈥淎lbuquerque,鈥� the capital city of New Mexico, which derives from Arabic.”

“The idea filled a place inside him he hadn鈥檛 even realized was empty. Coming home to find Jordyn waiting for him every night? Eating dinner with her, sleeping beside her and making love to her every night? That was his idea of heaven.
鈥淚鈥檇 love it if you stayed with me. Sounds perfect.鈥�
She sighed again, the sound quiet and contented. Utterly satisfied. 鈥淵eah, it does, doesn鈥檛 it?鈥� She pressed a string of kisses over his chest then laid her cheek against him. 鈥淚鈥檝e wanted you for so long. Part of me still can鈥檛 believe this is finally happening.鈥�

A knot of emotion clogged his chest. He hugged her close, rested his head close to hers on the pillow and closed his eyes. 鈥淚鈥檓 just sorry it took me so long to see everything straight.鈥� He felt her smile form against his skin.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 okay. You were more than worth the wait.鈥�

鈥淵ou too, angel.鈥�
She鈥檇 been his constant all these years. Devoted friend, fierce defender, sounding board and confidant. Now she鈥檇 be his lover and partner as well. Blake was never letting her go.”

“There was so much he could have said and chose not to. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 pry into your past, Margaret. I don鈥檛 pry into your life before we met, so don鈥檛 do it to me.鈥�
And that was it, there was nothing more to say. I nodded my head and ever since I鈥檝e made myself comfortable in this limbo of not knowing. Sleepless in this bed I made.”

“expatSure, people stare鈥� I think it鈥檚 curiosity. Most of the time if I give a big smile, the person looks totally shocked to have been caught and will smile back. They go from a sort of blankness to this welling gladness. Women especially blossom into joy and will give really lovely, open smiles in return, with a ilhamdallah or masha鈥檃llah and a pat on the head or a pinched cheek for Mather, maybe a few words for me, Welcome to Jordan! They鈥檙e so surprised and grateful I鈥檓 smiling at them! Even women who are fully covered, just a tiny window for their eyes peeking from a veil. You can see the uplift in the corners of their eyelids, feel their genuine warmth.”

“Take Jordan鈥攁rguably the friendliest government to Israel in the region. Jordan provides that citizenship is open to any person who is not Jewish.鈥� Jews once lived in the area that became Jordan, but they are not allowed to live there now-鈥攁nd this on land that the international community had once set aside to form a Jewish state. Ever wonder why there is never a call to divest assets from Jordan? It is not in the political interest of the leaders of great economies to upset the Arabs.”
― David Naggar, The Case for a Larger Israel

“One could argue that enlarging Israel is fair because Jordan illegally uprooted the Jews from the area that they are now resettling, even though international bodies call foul on
the Jews for doing so. One could argue that enlarging Israel is fair because 850,000 Jews were thrown out of Arab countries in the mid 20" century, in a grand ethnic cleansing enterprise. One could argue that enlarging Israel is fair because Hitler wiped out six out of every seven Jewish Europeans, and that
it is fair that Jews be allowed a decent sized piece of the earth to repopulate. Some would even argue that enlarging Israel is fair because of Israel鈥檚 biblical claim. Fairness, however, is not widely seen as a benefit to the world.”
― David Naggar, The Case for a Larger Israel

“True peace and true stability in the Middle East will only come when Israel鈥檚 enemies realize that they cannot destroy Israel by any means. For this to happen, Israel must be viable, and to be viable it must be larger. The sooner the international community understands that it must participate in making Israel viable in every respect, the sooner there will be peace.”
