Iran's use of terrorisim developed outside of Communisim - hell Iran's history with terrorisim may go back to the Hashashins.

[Tailgunner Joe]

oops "multipolar" not "multicultural" But what the difference anyway?

[Tailgunner Joe]

Pukin was Yeltsin's chosen successor.

[Destro]

Putin doesn't ally himself with every one of our worst enemies for cash, his stated goal is to foster a "multicultural" world free from US hegemony.

The term is multilateral.

Competition is a good thing.

[Destro]

Yeltsin was forced out - Kosovo almost brought the Russians to war with NATO and the Russian establishment had enough.

[Tailgunner Joe]

No multilateral means working with your friends. The term I meant to use is MULTIPOLAR which means enemies countering enemies. Russia stands with France and China against America. They will pay for this.

[Tailgunner Joe]

There was no question of any other candidate taking power in Russia. Yeltsin anointed Putin and he took over.

[Destro]

It is kind of a forgotten thing but Kosovo forced Yeltsin out.

"The PLO is a nationalist organization"

No, the PLO uses the language of nationalism in order to further World Revolution. As Pacepa points out:

"Right after that meeting, I was given the KGB's "personal file" on Arafat. He was an Egyptian bourgeois turned into a devoted Marxist by KGB foreign intelligence. The KGB had trained him at its Balashikha special-ops school east of Moscow and in the mid-1960s decided to groom him as the future PLO leader. First, the KGB destroyed the official records of Arafat's birth in Cairo, replacing them with fictitious documents saying that he had been born in Jerusalem and was therefore a Palestinian by birth."

In short, Arafat was a committed Communist internationalist under KGB control. He used the cover of nationalism in order to achieve international goals. He could have cared less about Palestine or the so-called Palestinians (he and his henchmen murdered his "own people" all the time). If he had been sent to South Africa, he would have framed the revolution in terms race. If the KGB had tasked him with spreading revolution in the UK, he would have framed his war of "national liberation" in terms of religion. Arafat of course was born in Cairo, so it was only natural to use him in the Middle East. But as a soldier for the KGB, that didn't stop him from assisting just about every terrorist organization the world over.

Ye s- duh - I am telling you the PLO is the Communist terror legacy - the mujahedeen is the Western terror legacy.

[Keme]

I never heard that before but it makes sense. I had a Palestinian friend with family ties to the PLO who told me a lot of these guys used to go to the Soviet Union to "study".

[Khurkris]

When you take over, I call dibs on 'Minister of Recreation and Leisure.'

I'm thinking brew-pubs & hot tubs as National sites.

"Yes- duh - I am telling you the PLO is the Communist terror legacy - the mujahedeen is the Western terror legacy."

I wasn't responding to that question (although, you are wrong on that count as well). I was responding to the proposerous notion you put forward...namely, that the PLO is a "nationalist" struggle. As I said before, they use the language of nationalism, but they are in fact Communist internationalists in nationalist clothing.

[Destro]

The PLO was more nationalism than economic system. And I am not wrong - Western terror legacy is the mujaheeden.

[curiosity]

Constitutional monarchy is a good system, especially for more traditional societies like Nepal. I wish the king well.

"The PLO was more nationalism than economic system."

Do you honestly believe Communism is about economics?!?!?

Allow me to temper your enthusiasm

'Dalai Lama’s office in Kathmandu closed'

Anyone familiar with the politics of the region will know that this was/is aimed at impressing the PRC & this event happened 3 days before the takeover.The UN,India & UK have all condemned the takeover-China has called it an "internal affair of Nepal".So form your own conclusions.
