I have had a bad feeling all evening with the media blackout on every cable station. I keep praying we are not going to see a tragedy.
ya know, down deep I feel we need to let them kill each other and then just nuke the winners !!!!
Probably a good idea. We should never get in the middle of intra-Arab, intra-Muslim squabbles. Let Allah sort it out.
