that is a very interesting & telling comparison<br/>
<br/>
& it reminds me that since we have been counting both of the <br/>
western sahara eh tripoints among our global total of 160 or 161 <br/>
continental multipoints<br/>
i think since even before eh became a glyph<br/>
we have actually already acknowledged western sahara as the <br/>
194th country rather than just a part of morocco<br/>
willy nilly & ipso facto<br/>
even if i hadnt said so in message 1086 nor grant in 2270 & <br/>
11495 etc<br/>
<br/>
so unless we want to recount or retract one of those<br/>
& reconsider eh as truly part of mo <br/>
we really need to acknowledge western sahara as a country<br/>
<br/>
& if we do regard eh as number 194 <br/>
then it would seem all too easy & right to come into complete <br/>
alignment with iso too <br/>
& regard palestine ps as number 195<br/>
<br/>
but then there would ensue a premature search for its tripoints<br/>
<br/>
i mean other than the most presumptive egilps tripoint at gaza<br/>
<br/>
which at least would thus become a full peer with the dzehmo <br/>
tripoint we have already acknowledged<br/>
if indeed even egilps can really be counted upon either <br/>
in view of anticipated land swaps etc etc etc<br/>
<br/>
so of course here we are really in the future if anywhere <br/>
rather than in the present any more at all<br/>
since palestine is de facto still an unknown part of israel<br/>
or so it seems to me<br/>
<br/>
but the truth for now is we ourselves already have a messy self <br/>
contradiction over western sahara<br/>
whether the united nations or iso or palestine or anyone can <br/>
help us or not<br/>
