"Sick and tired of Peres` lofty talk. Current heads of state from ten such world powers as Uganda, Burkina Faso and Palau are placing the true frame for Peres` new marketing product: "The Future".
- Fortuna Benmayor

Peres is the last of a generation Fortuna. Imagine if you still had a man who was a youngster who helped Bolivar or Santandar present in Columbia.

I understand that your nation is one run by right-wing gangsters and drug smugglers, and at war with left-wing radical drug smugglers.

But imagine if it was still in the hands of the immediate descendants of those who freed it from the Spaniards.

I understand that you want eternal war for Israel, but I think Peres does not. He has not long to live, and need not run for reelection.

He might just want Israel to finally be free from war.

He might, even if you don`t.
