water wars
i suggested that oil is the world's most precious commodity. except maybe for water. countries fight over incredibly stupid stuff. but they generally don't fight over water. even israel and jordan negotiated how to share the jordan river while they were at war and killing each other for other incredibly stupid reasons. there are a couple of reasons why i suppose. water is extremely vulnerable and at the same time absolutely critical. we can't possibly defend our water supply. neither can our enemy. so we make an arrangement. heh. we wouldn't be able make war if water wasn't off limits. hmmm...
