The American Spectator

I want to be alone with Esther, to talk to her. Without time constraints, without constant supervision. I want to embrace Esther and kiss her the way a man should when he is holding his reason for living in his arms. I will take her by the hand and walk toward our future together, under an incredibly blue Jewish sky. I hope to create a Jewish home and family in Israel. /p> p> Q. And your longer-range goals? br> A. I want to be a productive Israeli. I would love to pursue projects involving effective utilization of water and energy, and I study these issues in depth in prison to prepare for that day. I very much want to create a work environment for me in our home in Israel, as a means of enabling me to be close to Esther. In this way and through these efforts, I intend to leave a better legacy for the name Jonathan Pollard than I have done until now. /p> p> Q. What concerns you most in the Middle East? br> A. I am especially troubled by Iran’s march to nuclear weaponry. I realize that this is a function of its quest to secure domestic energy needs, but the dark side is definitely the destructive powers they covet acquiring. In the '30s Hitler told everyone who would listen what he wanted to do to both the world’s democracies and to the Jewish people. Few paid attention to his threats. Today we all have a second chance to prevent the kind of death and insanity represented by Iran’s current leadership before they have a chance to carry out their wild threats. But the world needs the will to enforce effective economic embargoes and sanctions and the willingness to act immediately to prevent the Iranian nuclear option. This is an American challenge more than any other.
