EARTH: SURVIVAL BOOKLET FOR NUCLEAR WAR...

Survival Guide:

- It is preferable to wear white, as thermal heat passes more freely through dark clothing.

- Though lead is considered a good protective barrier, Beta particles hitting lead form X-rays; thus it is preferable to coat the lead with aluminum foil; actually it pays to coat anything you are hiding behind with aluminum foil, wood or plastic.

- Gamma rays "know" how to pass around corners, thus it is preferable to hide in a shelter that is reached by turning several 90 degree angles.

- Swallow potassium iodide to avoid thyroid cancer.

a. Because there are many kinds of burns and poisoning, summarizing them succinctly is difficult. In brief, if one detects the signs of poisoning (nausea, etc.) within a few minutes, a quarter of an hour or sometimes half an hour – his chances are slim. But if the symptoms appear between one and six hours after exposure, his chances are better. In any case, the symptoms should disappear after a day or two, for a week or two, and then reappear; of those who will die, most will die within a month.

b. While exposure to the powerful radiation from the blast is most dangerous, there is also danger in prolonged exposure to radiation. Thus one should try to get to a clean area and to change clothes. While it is recommended to wash with soap and water, at least in the case of Israel, it is unclear where the water will come from; the national water monopoly has not made any plans to protect its supply from radiation. Still, if one manages to get to a clean area and wash, this is preferable, but one should not rub the burned and peeling skin too hard, or allow the dirt pass into one's open wounds.

- Of course, to increase the odds of survival, it would be preferable to be rid of Iran before Iran is rid of us.

- But to do that, one must first be rid of the government of Israel and the conceptions controlling the government in the US.

- In Israel, the prime minister and his cabinet, and the military brass, proclaim and may even believe that Israel won last summer's war in Lebanon and that the Israeli army functioned well; both the Israeli and American governments think that the way to solve the problems of our region are to return to the Road Map and to offer the gangs of murderers surrounding Israel a little more territory or economic aid, because, as Israeli leaders have been repeating ad nauseam for the past decade, there is no military solution, not now, later or ever, here, there or anywhere, and as Olmert and Livni and before them Barak and Sharon and before them the Jews of the 1930s say and said, when faced with attacks, "Restraint is strength"; and so retreats become "disengagement," and surrender is victory and war is peace and as long as we are on this slope, "Work makes us free."

- In America of course it is all about spreading “democracy”. This theory might be summed up as, “What’s good for the goose must be good for the wolf.” The problem is that the multi-cultural Open Society democracy invites the wolf to lunch with the American goose, gander, and goslings.

- And let us in Israel pray we are freed from this our government and our nuclear enemies before these enemies free us from our bodies, as our previous enemies did, those accursed enemies who proclaimed that "Work makes us free."

- And let us pray the American president decides to win this war the old-fashioned way, before Iran and North Korea, not the world's most rational or restrained regimes, decide to do the winning.
