Rich,
rrelevant! That's a non-sequitur. / you would jump to conclusions

Actually no. You are wrong. Here is why.
1) You refer to Jews as Christ killers.
2) You say 'trust me' I've been in secret societies..
3) You made a rather insipid response to my explanation of my moniker.

These things lead me directly to my impression of your party fun rating.

For one thing, you will do well to understand that
my persona on SI is not necessarily my usual persona elsewhere.

So you admit that you are duplicitous ? Merely here to incite ?

I'm more like Popeye... I yam, what I yam...


What diff does it make? Muslim enmity against the US was already manifest for several years before 9/11/2001 / Why split hairs here? I was still right after all.
LOL.. There is only one true religion Islam and one true SI poster... RichNorth. We were talking about Iraq and Afghanistan... which I think are different and you do not as I recall so I accordingly remained with the proper time constraints... If you want to go back in time arbitrarily to make your case.. then I guess the Malaysian riots could go back on the table...At any rate they have religious law mixed up in politics and the population is only 60% Muslim. Now it sounds very Orwellian to me that the woman cannot renounce Islam on pain of being sent to a religious re-education camp... or threatened with death by extremists How can this not lead to trouble... I know I know.. who cares..

that will blow up like a time bomb Where did I say that ? I simply pointed out that the same Muslim extremism existed there contrary to what you opined.

But, to be sure, that is the reality. / And violence, mayhem and death will likely occur. AGREED ! so why should it be Muslim violence only ? I do not want any violence and got involved in this discussion since I thought Mr. Harper was far too quick to endorse Mr. Bush and Israel in such a unilateral fashion.

As Heraclitus, the Greek philosopher had said a while back, The world (or Nature) is ever becoming. In other words, everything in nature is inexorably undergoing change and ever evolving Actually not really... more like some things are ever becoming so that others may exist... Water continually changes so that a river may flow... If the water did not.. there would be no river eh !

get it from a Muslim who actually lives there and knows the current affairs of the region.
OK so basically your prior statements on Malaysia are of no import. Agreed !

The US errs badly in insisting that what is good for America is good for everyone else. AGREED !!!
Iraq was / is a scam and I will flood my MP with letters of protest if we Canadians step foot there. The foreign policy of all the 'Great Powers' from the treaty of Versailles and beyond has done nothing but cause misery in the Middle East... I'm hoping they do not ask what their oil is doing in Alberta.

The US will do well to take stock of Lord Tennyson's lines above. I've always liked The Eagle.. simple, short, sweet but magnificent...

by the way. so if I say By the way.... I don't think that you'd be much fun at a party... that would be different ? Please explain... does BTW have some secret meaning like a secret society handshake ?

You have a twisted logic or a warped mind. I guess that should not be surprising, especially when you have a self-persecution complex, eh? Yes that's right use ad hominem attacks... a sorry refuge indeed...Please provide a sample of my persecution complex ..


Look! Just as the Amoeba, the one-celled creature that it is knows well enough to ever flow towards a more hospitable environment, so too should that multi-celled couple do likewise.

And the Palestinians also... by your logic :o) Great idea... The Israelis and oil rich Arabs would all be happy if that problem went away... Yikes !!! Since the Palestinians won't leave, now are you inferring that the Palestinians are not as intelligent as amoeba ? Now that would certainly be a nasty comment...

believe that the US and Israel have devolved into rogue-states and they are primarily responsible for the slew of problems we see in the Middle East and in Muslim countries elsewhere. From all indications they apparently believe that turning non-Muslims against Muslims, terrorising the Muslims and humiliating them is the only way to subdue them. From my perspective, that is the wrong tack, and both the US and Israel will pay dearly for it in the long run, even though the Muslims are not as technologically advanced...........

Gee... all this arguing and I think have said something rather similar !!!
Message 22795983
Like all the previous ones... and the next one and the next... Seems like a sound strategy...
Now a point I've mentioned before... Israel likely cannot stay on top forever.. They have US and British support.. but then again with the rise of China scheduled to be the largest economy in the world... with all the trappings... where will that leave them in China's thirst for Middle East oils ? since the US is excluding them from NA wherever possible.. Naw.. they are cooked and unless they (Israelis) find a better way... and the US effectively abandoning Afghanistan and then their big accomplishments in Iraq... now that's cogent thinking and effective tactics... to end terrorism.. With those strategies how can the West lose ....

Lehitraot! Interesting poem attached to that.. Thanks..

Salut...
