>Peace isn't occurring because of the Khartoum Conference in 1967 where 9 Arab nations declared there would be no peace

You're ignoring two facts 1) many of the states represented at this conference don't have the same governments.today they had 1967 and have subsequently signed peace treaties with Israel and 2) nothing you said says anything to do with that I said

Bonus third fact) annexing territory through conquest without the consent of the people living there is illegal under international law, and settling your citizens outside of your own territory is also illegal under international law

idk if you meant to type ammonium nitrate instead (not a chemist; don't know industrial applications of AL nitrate)

but at least ammonium nitrate mostly "disappears" into the atmosphere as it detonates, and doesn't really leave contaminants in the area

since it likely won't continue killing people & wildlife in the vicinity for many decades to come, its probably the better alternative between the two

Whenever you hear someone try to make an excuse for the train industry, just remember how many flights there are in this country on a daily basis, and the rarity of airplane crashes that occur. Safety is not impossible. We can hold the rail industry to higher standards. I hope we do.
