In his editorial, Prince Bandar just about called George Washington the suicide bomber of his day. I am sure I am not the only American not to appreciate the comparison. Mind you, Prince Bandar has only been Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the US for about thirty years now, so he must be excused for not quite understanding how offensive the comparsion would be to most Americans.

Nukeit, I grew up in Romania, a country who suffered tremendously for centuries from the muslim/ arab onslaught on Europe. In school we were told about the atrocities committed by arab /muslim over the centuries, slaughter of innocent peasants the burning of their crops and towns and the capture by force or the stealing of young Christian children and turning them in military/fighter slaves who ended their lives on the battle fields or prostitute slavery. Under the Communist regime Romania was cleansed of arab/ muslim quietly and surely. Just ask an Ukrainian citizen who lives in the Crimea peninsula what he thinks of arabs ...... oh well no one care what and why. The sentiment of deep hatred toward muslim and arabs was best exposed in the former Yugoslavia (not that I justify their actions). Unfortunate American and the rest of the world do not put one bit of effort to understand history and learn the lessons and therefore it tends to repeat itself. More interestingly the Croats were with Nazi Germany and the Serbs were against Nazi Germany but the Jerusalem Mufti (an Egyptian and Arafat Uncle) was able to pursue Hitler to found the Muslim SS force in Bosnia. Their task was quite obvious. The interesting twist that there was no sympathy for the Muslims from the Croats even after they joined the SS forces of Hitler's Third Reich ....... centuries of conflict did not appease the Croats ....... and for sure only increased the hatred of Serbs and Romanian toward the Muslims and their SS forces. The atrocities in Bosnia, Kosovo and the rest of former Yugoslavia came out of centuries of anger and frustration and it was rooted deep in the population / nation common memory. Also during W.W.II the main source of intelligence and Nazi allegiance was Cairo and other ME major cities (controled by the British) only because the arab sympathy toward the Nazi Regime which was their hope to reinstate the new Caliphate Hitler decided to adventure into a major two prong attack strategies - the North Africa Campaign and the run toward the Caspian Basin in big part because of arab support. ..... the goal was quite clear take control of two major energy resources (Caspian basin and the Arab Peninsula) and control for ever the world with arab help and cooperation. The world was lucky that the German military machine wen close to achieve it's goals was very overextended and the Russian put a fierce fight in Stalingrad helped by the harsh Russian winter and Romel was facing the harsh desert enviroment and the British forces. Now draw some parallels to today and you will understand more about the arabs and their goals. The present conflict in Israel is only a prelude to their dream
