It's Friendship, Friendship, Just a Perfect Blend-Ship

Horsefeathers is old enough to recall how the brutal Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, was transformed into benign "Uncle Joe" by our useful media idiots, during World War II. At home, our victrola played the Red Army Chorus singing its rousing martial anthems. After all, we were allies fighting Hitler, weren't we? All the while, Stalin's agents were infiltrating our government and scientific establishment, stealing whatever they could use in the struggle to impose global Communism. They played an often successful double game. However, they did so covertly; never did our highest government officials invite them to place their agents inside our most vulnerable locations.

The United Arab Emirates, a collection of incestuous Emirs and Sheiks, who, were it not for oil, would have a hard time getting jobs bagging groceries, is the long term enemy--no matter how much they "cooperate" with us in hunting down others who also threaten them. They are part of the primitive world of Islamo-Nazis who envy and despise our Western civilization, and who scapegoat the Jews for their own failures. We don't recall President Roosevelt selling management of the Manhattan Project to Stalin's Soviet Union. Nor did Roosevelt trouble himself about sharing secrets with Churchill but not with Stalin. In fact he knew, despite our differences, Churchill was a real ally. Stalin had to use secret agents to get the important information. Roosevelt never felt compelled to explain that Nazism and Communism were really peaceful ideologies that had been regrettably hijacked by a few zealots...

Well, you have no understanding of the subtle dynamics of the middle east and a convoluted view of history....but other than that, it's an interesting read.
