Similar to what happens in Chechnya. But Russians are lucky that Chechnya is 40 times smaller.
How is it that Israel knows where every Hamas thug is, and takes them out with pinpoint strikes, yet we cannot nail the Islamoslimes in Iraq who are ordering and organizing this carnage?? Don't tell me we can't stop this if we apply all force and intel. Or, let the Mossad go in there and clean up the mess.And why is it that the media blame Israel for defending itself and blame the US for US casualties? Because we need new blood in the media (in every sense).
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
"And why is it that the media blame Israel for defending itself and blame the US for US casualties?"
Because 99% of the "mainstream" media are willing accomplices of the "Blame America First" crowd, also known as the DemocRATic Party. If it makes this country or our allies look bad, then it's front page above the fold. If something happens that would make readers/viewers sympathetic to what the U.S. is doing then it barely gets a mention. A good example is the vast difference in coverage between the alleged "scandal" at Abu Ghraib Prison and the coverage of two Americans murdered by decapatation in the last two months.
The media, IMHO, is doing more to harm our efforts in Iraq and to bolster the bad guys spirits than most people realize.
Include a complete thought in your next post and I'll try to comprehend it.
If you jump in at the last of several exchanges and don't understand, I can't go back and re iterate everything.
I wish they could have stopped all the bombing deaths in Israel.
Kill them kill them all kill the now.
With the exception of Japan, all have been excellent business associates. In most cases, once personal relationships have been established, I have done and continue to do business with a handshake, a telephone call or a fax/email, and then a contract.
Japanese clients are the only 'Asian' businesses I have ever experienced 'reinterpretation' of the deal with.(pardon the preposition). Negotiation is expected. But it is the 'Asian' mentality to look at the long-term relationship rather than the 'quick-buck and get out' mindset.
I do not do business in the eastern Mediterranean/Mid-East area. I can not speak to this area.
