My comment on WWIII was related not to a threat to "House of Saud" but to an invasion of Saudi Arabia after an invasion of Iraq. such virulently anti-American euro-trash get to study at universities in the US. You are pathetic in your blind attacks in the dark. None of the above, if you must know.

Rollcast--- Frankly, I don't know where you're coming from. Never have I seen an antiAmerican post from Zonder. She is, often correctly, critical of American positions. That is an opportunity to learn that the US doesn't exist in a vacume and many of our positions have antagonized many people. Obviously, I don't agree with her often, but that is irrelevant. To feel free to dissent is the essential strength of a democracy and your positions are not consistent with that. Also-- re: immigration. As the grandson of real Eurotrash horse thieves (I'm sure Zonder's background is "higher" than mine) and as a NY'er, without our getting immigrants this country will stultify. I think Japan is going down the tubes because they have the double wammy of an aging population and no immigration. Who's going to do the work? I welcome immigration. However, and I just had a discussion this weekend with an Indian woman who can't get a green card, I do see the need for tighter security. Why don't you refute Zonder's reasoning? BTW, I never gave it any thought whether you're Muslim or not. Mainly because it would not mattert. fred
