Sheen blows, the f*ck promised to leave the country two years ago. Most likely no one wants the prick.

Message 18608880 That same Palestinian side that filed a complaint against Ariel Sharon in a Belgian court is to blame for murders, distortion and massacres in Lebanon. A Lebanon that welcomed the Palestinians with open arms ended up a victim of the Palestinian gun and Palestinian terror. It is the PLO, and all the Palestinian armed gangs, that started the killings in Lebanon, established roadblocks, killed Christians during confession in Beirut, raped young girls in the fallen Christian town of Damour, Beirut, and Mount Lebanon. Where was the Belgian court then? Why was the BBC not covering Arafat and his murderers slaughtering Lebanese Christians - women and children? The whole world was silent in witnessing the massacre of the Christians in Lebanon. No one stood with them - not France, not the Vatican, not even Israel, in general; however, the late Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon did so on a personal, courageous basis. The Christian Lebanese are not murderers, they reacted to extreme violence perpetrated upon them by the Palestinians, supposedly peaceful guests in a country that welcomed them in 1948. This was a time when the Christian militias acted independently of the Lebanese State in order to protect the existence of the Christian community in Lebanon. Why did the Belgian court not defend the Christian community in Lebanon from Palestinian gangsterism? [........] Before indicting a brave General defending the only democracy in the Middle East, facing a fundamentalist Islamic enemy striking out at the West with no mercy, indict the ruthless Islamic despots that are using terrorism as an effective diplomatic tool against the West and America. These Islamists use the same methods as Yasser Arafat, which made him a famous man of "peace" - torching embassies in the world, targeting US, Israeli, and other diplomats, destroying and hijacking airplanes, and planting daily terrorism as a seed in our lives. These are de facto policies today in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and for the PLO. Mixing apples and oranges in politics is a fatal mistake. Do not mix Africa or Europe with the Middle East. Africa is Africa, Europe is Europe, and the Middle East is the Middle East, and history is still in the making. -------------------------------------------------------- Nagi N.
