Two Stars for Peace

I just finished working on a project with Martine Rothblatt, a fascinating woman who not only led the recent nanotechnology conference in Vermont, but wrote Two Stars for Peace, where she makes a compelling argument for merging Israel and Palestine into the United States. It's a bold strategy, but could be 'shown to be integral to removing the kindling wood of terrorism from Middle East politics.'

From her site, a photo with Clinton:

She describes her view here:
"At the current time, people speak of "two-state" solutions. I propose instead a "two-star" solution, Two Stars for Peace. When America welcomes Israel and Palestine as the 51st and 52nd states of the union, the age-old dream of peace and prosperity in the land of milk and honey will have been achieved.

As America re-sews her flag with a 51st and 52nd star, the entire world will applaud the arrival of this fine new design. For the Middle East will appear on the world stage as a place of stability and understanding, and tensions everywhere will be visibly reduced. Men and women everywhere will look at Israelis and Palestinians with admiration, and Americans can take well-deserved pride in the awesome potential of their new citizens."

There's even a monthly meet up - if interested, you can sign up here.
