Teach tolerance -- and use less oil

I am thrilled for all the peaceful democratic possibilites for the Egyptian people and pray they keep their treaties with Israel and the United States. Iran also must be held in check and prevented from creating havoc in the world.

For once people should teach tolerance and acceptance and embrace our differences. All people need to be tolerated and respected for their beliefs.

Israel is the only democracy in that region, and what Israel has brought to the world through science and medicine is commendable.

We must reduce our dependence on oil. Lasting peace in that region will benefit the world.
