Dittos, Georgia Girl 2. I find this very disturbing...
You’re welcome. And I wonder why I can’t sleep anymore...
And I wonder why I can’t sleep anymore...
And they want to disarm us.
I don’t think so.
Good luck. Dublin’s already bragging that it’s got more gays per capita than San Francisco, as if it were something to be proud of.
One of the biggest Arab Socialists/Pan-Arabists out there? Saddam was not our friend. He regarded Israel in exactly the same light as all of the other Islamic terrorists; he even supported the “Palestinian” terror groups.
Time for St. Patrick to DRIVE out the SNAKES again.
He was much like Nasser....privately, Nasser really didn't care one way or another about Israel, it was just politically he had no choice to be against Israel to keep the Islamo-Fascists in Egypt at bay.
Sadat was confident enough that he could control the Islamo-Fascists, that he felt he could make the deal with Israel. He found out the hard way, it isn't so simple. The Ba'ath movement, to which both Saddam and Assad in Syria belong, is a secular, socialist movement.
Granted, they are no angels, but what angels are there in that part of the world?
The Wahabbist movement poses the bigger long-term threat to Western Civilization.
That’s quite the apologists’ line in regards to Nasser, who not only fought against Israel in the 1948 Arab-Israel War, but also said “Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel” prior to the Six Day War. As a promoter of Pan-Arabism (cf. Pan-Germanism), Arab Socialism and Arab Nationalism, Nasser’s philosophy came right from the National Socialist German Worker’s Party.
Sadat had a similar history to Nasser, so why did he feel he could make peace with Israel, as opposed to Nasser?
So was Sadat. I am trying to say that most Arab leaders felt they had to be anti-Israel to maintain power....I believe deep down, they wished the Pali problem would just go away one way or the other.
Their actions belie your feelings, with all due respect. As does their open philosophy.

Mind you, I support Israel whole-heartedly....but to use the Godfather analogy.....Saddam was a pimp....while it is the Wahabbis of Saudi Arabia that are the Barzini, the real threat.
That philosophy has its tendrils everywhere in the “Muslim world” (and alas for Obama using that term since it panders to the radical Islamist ideal). Anywhere you see “Arab nationalism”, “Pan-Arabism”, “Islamic Socialism” et cetera, the Wahhabist hand is in it—even in Iran, since the link between Wahhabism and the Muslim Brotherhood (which spawned Shi’ite Khomeini and his Revolutionary Guard) has always been unbroken AFAICS.
