I think I didn't make myself clear. I wasn't referring to south africa, (S.A.) I was referring to south america. (S.A.) north and south america both started at the same time, they were "discovered' around 1500. Yet n.a. is where it is, and s.a. is where it is..why is that,? you would think they should be both at the same place, they started fresh, they started at the same times, they have the same natural resources.. but they're not in the same place in the world economy etc. I'm relaxed about islam losing the war of civilizations, the problem is people have to wake up and get on with it. I see no reason why we should fight this war for 50 years, and suffer the problems it will bring for 50 years. it's going to happen anyway, let's get it over with so we can all move on and focus on the proper things in life instead of a backwards people that want to destroy civilization and instill their oppressive regime on everyone. to not use profiling is stupid and counterproductive. the terrorists so far haven't been 90 year old white women from sweden, so IMo spend less time looking at those people. they have so far not been 4 year old black girls from alabama, so spend less time looking at them, they HAVE BEEN, however men (and I use that term loosely) from the M.E., so IMO it is the most sensible place to start, and the most sensible way to approach the problem. If that offends some, tough sh*t. Live with it, deal with it, get over it or get out of the way, because IMO only a fool would place political correctness before the safety of passengers on an airplane. what do you mean by the Judeofascist effect of si? I am not sure I understand what you mean.

And since we are dealing with ALgeria, there is one thing the US people should know : their own responsibility in the liberation of Algeria ! It started out in 1943, as your soldiers were parading through North Africa without a serious fight, (even better). You had US military officers who were giving lectures on democracy to all local councils on the way. They did so in Arabic, of course, and they left an excellent impression on the local populations. A lasting impression, as I have witnessed in is the late sixties and in many areas. Well, who could have expected France to shoot itself in the foot, and loose a yearly fortune ? So, now that you the US are the Fathers of their Independence, I do not say that you owe them anything, even from a moral standpoint, but I am sure you can help again, and I believe you will. In due course.
