Science and Progress Solve Stuff

In the din of Green hysterical crisis rhetoric and totalitarian ascetic demands, we sometimes forget that science makes it possible for us to have our cake and eat it too:

Israel's nanotechnology program got a significant boost recently, with the first meeting of stakeholders in the Nanotechnology Clean Water Initiative. The Initiative - the result of combined efforts by Dr. Uri Sagman, Prof. Samuel Pohoryles and former prime minister Shimon Peres - has, for the first time, brought together major Israeli university researchers and global industry principals to work on nanotech-based solutions to the water shortage in the Middle East...
From all reports, the Forum was a success, igniting practical interest among all its participants, and moving one step closer to Peres' vision of Israel as a world leader in nanoscience-based clean water technologies.

So let me get this straight - if we build a society that emphasizes rationality, science, and technology rather than mysticism, violence, and death we can actually solve our problems instead of reverting back to primitive 9th century agrarianism? Someone should let Afghanistan Sudan know.
