Ooooh I get it now...theta clear...I can almost make it out...I see it!
The jews are actually running concentration camps, with Palestinians as prisioners. You're right! Are the jews making lamp shades out of Palestinian skin? The world needs to know these facts, so we can dust off the Neuremberg chairs and get Spencer Tracy out of the coffin to preside over the war crimes trial.
Don't bogart that joint, my friend, pass it over to me. -
What I meant was, not that we give the Saudis foreign aid, but that oil revenues basically are their entire economy, which we (the U.S.) likely pay the greatest share. If that is incorrect, pls advise. I think the Saudis likely own huge shares of our country, given the Bush admin is completely beholden to them.
Regarding the U.S., you are spot on friend. We are broke.Leave a comment:

Living in Cali, you sure do need Zen (serious antipsychotics might be needed soon for parts of the state that haven't completely lost their collective mind)
Pretty soon there won't be a government because they've run out of cash. $41 billion deficit. Jesus. Gov. Streudelhead is waaaay worse than Gray Davis ever was.
At least they have their priorities straight in light of the impending doom. Get that Prop 8 circumcized off the state constitution. We'll deal with the implosion of the government as soon as we get the gays all married off.
Then raise taxes! That'll fix things!
Sir, you have my sincerest sympathies.
Are you aware that Nancy Pelosi is pushing a "cash for clunkers" bill that is hoped will take effect Jan. 20 or soon thereafter? Apparently that is part of the stimulous package, they want to "bailout" the auto industry by giving "bonus" payments to people who send their old cars to the crusher. Pretty soon there won't be any E30s left.
Get 'em while they're still here fellas.Leave a comment:

You forget that Israel is already occupying Palestinian territories and is well beyond its legal frontiers, depraving Palestinians from the most basic conveniences such as water, ability to work and farm, free deplacements, etc. Practicing what UNO defines clearly as ethnic cleansing. The same thing as Rwanda, Bosnia and Nazi Germany. So, even if Hamas stopped any rocket launching, the problem who still be there. Your assessed status quo, is already well beyond the acceptable. Israel is expanding its territories month after month, creating settlements that looks like any US suburb, even with pools, while Palestinians get water a couple of hours per week, and are forced to stay home. I their own land occupied by another country. Imagine a similar situation occuring in the US. Not many peple would accept being occupied.
The minimal action that would keep Hamas or Hezbollah to stop antagonizing with Israel woud be to revert to the frontiers of 1967. Remember that the United Nations have been asking it for over 40 years, and that Israel hasn't complied yet.
BTW if Israel is so rightfull in its attacks against Lebanese and Palestinians, I wonder why most arab countries don't really feel friendly with them, and why all European countries (in fact, the whole world minus the US) requires Israel to stop bullying its neighbours.
But as we know, peace would mean that the US would not subsidize Israel at a yearly rate of 4.5 Billion $ in diversified weaponnery (numbers for 2002). Not good for business. So does the US really has an intrest in stopping the bloodshed?Last edited by Massive Lee; 12-31-2008, 08:17 AM.Leave a comment:

I my opinion the major problem in the Middle East is the fact the voices of moderation on all sides are drowned out by the screams of the radicials. Until a moderate majority can assert itself in that part of the world all sides are going to keep making the same mistakes.Leave a comment:

Hamas has all the power to stop the bombing if they would choose to do it. All the have to do is stop firing rockets into Israel and the Jewish state would not have an excuse to invade Palestinian territory. I do not deny that they most likely don't receive the best treatment at the hands of the Israelis but terrorism and the shotting of rockets only give the hard right in Israel the moral justification in the eyes of Israeli people to take punitive action to retaliate against Hamas. This is just my opinion.Leave a comment:
