I understand they're looking for suicide bombers. There's a real shortage among the jihaddist cowards. Perhaps you should send your resume. They'll promise YOU 72 little boys in paradise.

If you think Israel is worth dying for, why aren't you over in Iraq doing your share of the fighting? I have an interesting ME population vs oil~peak study that's very provocative , showing the Arab populations peaking around 2040, just about the time oil really becomes a scarce commodity ....population of Cairo should be around 40mil by then . The one thing that the Israeli's have been good at , is making some extraordinarlily intelligent choices in how to survive and make full efficient use of the land , while not overtaxing the resource base ...plus the wide intellectual technology base which also helps them to survive and thrive . They also have a wealth of things that they could teach others in the region how to cope , and they do . One can only pray that the Arab's have a rennaisance of thinking in regards to handling these looming population and economic forcasts with some fresh intellectual vigor , sans taut theologies that limit progress , and widespread distrust and hatred of each other based on Tribe, Sect, and country . The idea of unified "Arab World" is a call to incredulity in reality . The Arab world is a mess ... Otherwise , they can stupidly and stubbornly always measure their wealth in the numbers of martyrs they create willing to die rather than produce , and try and take everyone else with them in a theological/political doctrine of suicidal futility ....would be nice too if Americans would stop their rampant consumerism , but then again the world depends on that doesn't it ? But America has like Europe, curbed her population growth somewhat , even trying to accomodate these overflowing ME populations , not to very high success . Interesting catch 22 ....you think its fun now , wait to see how they will be partying in 2050 or so , in the ME . 40mil living in Cairo alone... regards Mars
