Thanks for the ping.
If part of the public supports it, others tolerate it, many are afraid of it and some try to explain it away by poverty or by a miserable childhood, organized crime will thrive and so will terrorism. The United States understands this now, after September 11. Russia is beginning to understand it. Turkey understands it well. I am very much afraid that most of Europe still does not understand it.
Nice comback! Have a nice day.

The root of the trouble is that this entire Moslem region is totally dysfunctional, by any standard of the word, and would have been so even if Israel would have joined the Arab league and an independent Palestine would have existed for 100 years.
The 22 member countries of the Arab league, from Mauritania to the Gulf States, have a total population of 300 millions, larger than the US and almost as large as the EU before its expansion. They have a land area larger than either the US or all of Europe. These 22 countries, with all their oil and natural resources, have a combined GDP smaller than that of Netherlands plus Belgium and equal to half of the GDP of California alone. Within this meager GDP, the gaps between rich and poor are beyond belief and too many of the rich made their money not by succeeding in business, but by being corrupt rulers. The social status of women is far below what it was in the Western World 150 years ago.
Human rights are below any reasonable standard, in spite of the grotesque fact that Libya was elected Chair of the UN Human Rights commission. From The Ultimate Guide To Terror (A Respected Muslim Finally Says What Needs To Be Said) Convention Lecture | April, 2004 | Haim Harari

"Now that Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya are out, two and a half terrorist states remain: Iran, Syria and Lebanon, the latter being a Syrian colony. Perhaps Sudan should be added to the list.
First, he's leaving out a critical player, Pakistan. "
Let's not forget. Saudi Arabia. After that comes Canada, any European nation, Indonesia, Michigan or anywhere else that Radical Islam is hosted.
"I'm all for it. Drill Alaska, off of the coast of California and Florida, and in federal forests."
"Drill like mad."
The administration is doing something interesting. The US is continuously buying oil and putting it into the Stategic Oil Reserve. Eventually, all the OPEC oil will be ours.
Stategic = Strategeric
Let's not forget. Saudi Arabia. After that comes Canada, any European nation, Indonesia, Michigan or anywhere else that Radical Islam is hosted.
I was referring to nations with the potential within five years or so to war against us. Last I checked, none of those countries was on that list. Pakistan has substantial population, is fully radicalized, and has nuclear weapons. It is, if anything, as dangerous as Iran.
Excellent.
Thank you for posting this.
Beauseant!
