One of the guys was a limp wristed idiot who slammed Bush but said he would pray for him to see the light and needed to further his education so he would understand the situation better. Ha, as if a liberal education would help. you don't even know how stupid you are

Hi Bob - when I hear Netanyahu he makes a lot of sense to me. Aren't universities supposed to be all about free speech? I heard our Prime Minister said yesterday - that 9/11 was due in part to the Western policies toward the Arab states and that we need to change our ways - and callers on CBC radio mostly agreed with him. To my mind it's not that simple as the Arab states repress their own people - it's a very different society to ours - and few are able to own land and build equity. The masses are controlled by a tiny minority and that's just a reflection of their legal system. All the aid from the West - or good intentions - or government policies - isn't going to change things that much in the Arab states. The only time those people will be truely free - and unoppressed - is when the Arab states change their legal and political system. If you want a ridiculous example - women aren't allowed to drive in Saudi, and when their husbands take them for a spin in the car - then they must sit in the back seat - and that's the law. The Arab states are very skilled at deflecting internal criticism away from those who have oppressed them for so long within their own countries to blaming the West and Israel for all of their woes. The antics of the federal Liberal Party here in Canada seem to go unchallenged these days. For example, how can the federal government give contracts worth $100k's to public policy consulting firms and the like in Montreal - and then the Auditor General chastises the government - because either the reports weren't written, or if they were then no-one can find them, including the companies that supposedly wrote them. Those companies also contribute a lot of $$ to the Liberal party. To me this is just a simple case of the federal government laundering tax payer dollars through these companies, which in return for the free $$, throw some back to the Liberal Party by way of campaign donations. The corruption is just so blatant and yet they can't find enough $$ to properly outfit and equip the soldiers!! I wouldn't worry too much about some of the Irish. A good many of the politically active ones were Nazi collaborators and sympathizers during WW2, and found ways to get back at the English. The IRA are not the freedom fighters they are portrayed to be in the United States. I lived in England during the mid-1980's and the IRA bombings and murder of civilians both in Ireland and England was very real. Sinn Fein only commands a small percentage of the popular vote in the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, and Gerry Adams is nothing other than a terrorist, yet Clinton had him stay over at the White House. David.
