It takes a special person to lead the sheep into making a stand that even if successful in the long run will certainly cost them a lot in the short run.
Palestinians, bringing their signature charm to wherever they are. Of course, they were moved to Iraq by Saddam but, hey, if Teddy K. says Saddam was just an innocent little lovebug, why should we worry?
"What's the RKBA situation there? All I hear is unarmed civilians being shot like dogs."
My understanding is that every household is allowed to have a couple of AK's around for self defense.
"Abdul" has got balls - right.
Simple solution: order all Palestinians in Iraq deported; any who stay, arrest or kill.
Actually, this reminds me of all the stories I heard about Germany when the Nazis were first coming to power.
My husband told me a story of how his grandmother once walked through a Nazi line to go into a jewish shop to do business. The people wanted to patronize the Jewish business owner, but they were afraid to go through the line. When his grandmother went through, they all went through.
I'm not sure of the ending of that story, but his family left Germany for the US a few weeks later. The parents would never teach the kids German, because they wanted them to be "American".
All the stories I have heard about Iraq remind me of the Nazis. I guess "Nazis" will arise periodically throughout world history, and good men must muster up the wisdom and courage necessary if they are to defeat them and their evil.
APRIL 2003 : (ROBERT FISKE PROPAGANDIZES FOR HUSSEIN) "Anyone who doubts that the Iraqi Army is prepared to defend its capital should take the highway south of Baghdad. How, I kept asking myself, could the Americans batter their way through these defenses?" -- Robert Fisk. With Fisk that day was SMH columnist Paul McGeough, who later reported: Robert gets a bit windy from time to time."
[* my note: Paul McGeough is the guy who later claimed, using unsubstantiated and anonymous sources, that the future Iraqi leader Allawi at the time shot prisoners]
