MISSILE TESTING
July 12, 2008 - Iran / Israel
The Tension between Iran and Israel is increasing as Iran shows the strength of it's resolve both in words and sabre rattling this week as Iran tests more missiles and tells the world if Israel attacks it will strike Tel Aviv and US Military bases . Meanwhile Israel is committed to stopping Iran gaining Nuclear weapons capability in any way and any how with the Israel defence minister talking about Israel's readiness to strike Iran. The possibility of a win by presidential nominee Barack Obama who has pledged to pursue diplomacy routes rather than confrontation with Iran and who may not provide Israel with US backing for an attack on Iran leaves many including Iran concerned that the window of opportunity for Israel to attack Iran with US backing is slipping away as it is thought the current Bush administration would provide the backing Israel needs.
NEW YORK LAND PRICES
July 12, 1987 - USA
As more and more areas of land are sold for development of new out of town shopping Malls many can not believe how much the price of land has changed in Syracuse New York, just 10 years ago an acre of land was a mere $2,000 per acre and now it commands up to $100,000 per acre . I have tried to find out how much an acre was in Syracuse before the crash in the property market last year but have been unsuccessful , if any body can let me know I would be grateful.
