What a hypocrite, among other things

Guess I'll just have to cross Syria off my list of backwards third world nations I wanted to visit.

Let's make a deal: We won't eat in their restaurants. They don't come to our country.

Any student of history knows that Syria was once a center of Middle Eastern commerce and culture. That was before the cream of their populace moved to the United States, Israel and elsewhere.

Must be real rough to run a country whose best and brightest were expelled Jews no longer welcome there.

But ... had we done this in America ... put a sign on our restaurants saying - No Syrians allowed ... there would have been total liberal outrage.

I notice the liberals are not complaining to Syria ...?

I am so upset by this. My wife and I were planning a trip to Syria in the fall and now it looks like we will have to pack our own lunch. No more of those wonderful camel & monkey burgers at Mondo's.

Ahmed Diab, owner of Mondo Fast Food - designed in an American style - said that he considered “all Americans responsible for what is going on in Palestine, not just the U.S. diplomats”.

The Bush administration and Hillary Clinton support a Palestinian State in Israel - that will bring peace.

Aside from diplomatic people, I have no clue what type of Americans live in that dictatorial, despotic, hellhole.

All I know is that my company would have to pay me BIIIIGGGG money to work there.

An Anti-American Boycott Is Growing in the Arab World

He went on: "They want to design detailed programs against specific goods and services that might involve the banking system, insurance, financial markets. They want to find some pressure points that can have an economic impact."

No Americans Allowed," reads a yardlong wooden sign in the window of Mondo restaurant, incongruously an American-style diner decorated with icons like the Statue of Liberty. "The American people should feel that they have a problem," said Ahmed Diab, the 38-year-old owner.

Imagine Mondo is having a bit of a problem with his American decor and American fast food line.
Just out of curiosity, I looked up the Syrian Cuisine: There is a great diversity in Syria cuisine, which is reputed throughout the world. The best-known dishes are: Kibbeh, Meshwi, Hoummos, Tabbouleh, and Kounafa. {Never heard of this stuff in my corner of the world.]
