The American Pound, of course, is far more valuable than the Great Britain Pound Sterling. That’s because it’s based on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue sales, instead of gold or silver.
I agree...the Western and Western-oriented countries should definitely work out arrangements with Nigeria. That said, I don’t know exactly how these things work there or how it is distributed between their states.
And in any case, Islam has nothing to do with reason. It’s all about force and violence, and they feel they can get anything they want that way. Unfortunately, so far, the West (including Israel, in this case) has not shown them that they can’t.
We’ll have to, or they’ll show us that they can. Reminds me of a movie in the ‘60s about two hoodlums who were terrorizing a subway car full of people, none of whom will stand up to them. Finally, one man, an injured soldier has enough and challenges them. He gets stabbed, but beats the hoodlums, one of whom turns coward, and the other of whom gets hospitalized in police custody.
