Saudi Arabia has to "look like they're doing something" to the outside world. They are definitely ready to see Hamas and Hezbollah crushed--they've outlived their usefulness--so long as they can seem adamantly opposed.

Syria and Iran being removed/reduced as part of the "arc of extremism" (Tony Blair today) won't upset the Saudi's either.

When has S.A. said anything to Iran about it's threats to Israel? Or about the rocket attacks , the taking of hostages that started this?

A bit of the fairness is needed here to be seen as a true seeker of peace.

It would be better to get this war on an all-out footing today than to wait until maniacs sponsored by Saudi Arabia (i.e. Al Qaeda, Syria, Iran, and probably more) get the nuclear and biological weaponry they crave. The Saudis are dirtbag, lying, thieving, lazy scum. They deserve to be drawn into the fight for once without the U.S. on their side.

I pray I live long enough to see Saudi Arabia burn.

How long would it take for a Israeli tank division to motor South to Riyade, SA?

...hit the beaches in Oman?

...check out the chicks in Yeman?

...be home in time for dinner?

Even hesitation at this point would be disasterous for Israel, never mind a full blown halt. Israel must be aware of this. Years of appeasement have brought the tiny nation to what may be the most important point in its history. Weakness, indecision or further cowardly attempts to negotiate with barbarians and the entire population might as well apply for US citizenship. (Better yet, just sneak into the US. It'll save years off the process.)

So does Nasrallah want support from the Arabs, or doesn't he?

As far as the Saudis go, he's a Rafidite dog, and should be left to the Iranians.

Maybe the Israelis should send tanks into Medina and Mecca, level Mohammed's tomb, and rename Medina Yathrib. Then demand that all Muslims be moved out of Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Judea and Samaria, Sinai be returned to Israel, and all claims on these territories be set aside. IFF this is done, then and only then should they withdraw from Mecca.

Imagine the cartoon rage magnified as a result of those Joos in the Arabian peninsula.

I just received this in a email. I am sorry I don't have the url source. I feel the same!
Pass it on.

=================================================

The lady who wrote this letter is Pam Foster of Pamela Foster and Associates in Atlanta. She's been in business since 1980 doing Interior design and home planning. She recently wrote the following Letter to a family member serving in Iraq ....... Check it out!

WHAT'S ALL OF THE FUSS?

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave Marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this:
I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled,"
You can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and ---- you got it, I DON'T CARE!

If you agree with this view point, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior! If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical muslims happen here in our great country.

"The Lebanese government ignored Israeli demands that it mobilize its army and rein in Hezbollah. "

"Israeli aircraft attacked Al-Manar's transmission facilities, but the station remained on the air most of the day. It ran martial music and footage of militants launching rockets at Israel."

This lebanese 'government' thing is a farce. They are all terrorists of hezbollah.

What do you do if you see a snake and an arab?

Kill the arab first.

One allah to find them
One allah to bring them all,

It might come to this - well said Infidel Pride.
We must show allah to be dead and discredit the messenger. Shoot the messenger this time. Show allah to be nothing.

I personally do not condone all of the killing that everyone here seems to be okay with. I understand that each hundreds if not thousands of innocent lives are lost by senseless war and terrorism and national defense. But they are human lives none the less. We have become so desensitized to the loss of human life that we rant and rave on this website for wiping people out ot taking out some people or wiping them out or what have you. Death and the meaningless taking of life is whats wrong with this world. Their is no sanctity of life. What would Jesus say? How would he resolve the issue? I dont know, I dont have the answers to the ME crisis but somehow, we must respect life or else we are all in danger of death.

"I personally do not condone all of the killing that everyone here seems to be okay with."

I second that Iraqnophobia2004. Leave murder to the Islamic Facists.

On the other hand, I would easily empty a double barrel shotgun on the forehead of "allah" but alas, allah is only the wretched myth of a long extinct desert thug.

Destroy the faith with rationality, kill the god with logic, humiliate the Islamic ummah into mass apostacy and the reason to fight will wane, corrode and fade away.

More cartoons please.
