Lorenzo Quimper and Ransom Rusk, two of the main protagonists in James A. Mitchner's novel 'Texas' thought that the world revolved around Texas too.
However, it really revolves around Israel. Check any map from the middle ages to about 150 years ago, and see how the three main continents, Europe, Asia and Africa are all joined at the foci of Jerusalem.
On a less frivolous note, Israel today is again at war with Lebanon, this time following the abduction of two of our soldiers, and the murder of another by Hisboulla Terrorist. It would seem, just like Texas not so long ago, we too must canstantly battle our own version of Comancheros, Bandits, and Comanche if we wish to hold onto and enjoy our Patrimony in peace.
Yours truly,

PS: The Texan fantasy writer from the '30's, Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the BArbarian, King Kull of Atlantis, and various others), is one of my favorites. I must also say that I've always enjoyed the 'Walker' movie and TV seris too.
