The Shi'a of Hezbollah will willingly supply equipment from the Shi'a Islamic Republic of Iran, to the Sunni Arabs of Hamas. What could possibly make such collaboration less likely, what could possibly drive some kind of wedge between them, given that they share a hatred for Infidel Israel?

Can you think of any place in the Middle East where the Sunnis and Shi'a are at each other's throats, and their mutual hostility is held in check, or limited in its explosive force, only by the presence of Western Infidels? Can you think of why it might be useful for those Infidels to stop holding such hostility in check? Can you think of why such a result might save thousands of American lives, save hundreds of billions of dollars that would not need to be spent on war and might be spent on energy projects, or health insurance, or lower interest rates on educational loans, or all of the above?

If so, please mail your answers to The White House, Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington D.C. The first entry to be actually understood, and acted upon, will win a prize as yet to be announced. But you can be sure it will be a good one.

I'm glad you guys are paying the money for that and not us.

Thanks.

But seriously, can anyone tell me what would happen if USA left Iraq? Isn't the fear there that it will become some mega haven for terrorists?

And I think it has some terrorists now, but wouldn't it become another Afghanistan?

Officials did not identify the infrared sights. Those used by Hizbullah in Lebanon were said to have been manufactured in Britain and exported to Iran in 2004 and 2005.

I am certain the British public, blinkered by the BBC and The Guardian and hundreds of years of rabid anti-Semitism, will protest these weapons exports to the Islamists as they did to the landing of US transport planes en route to Israel during the war in Lebanon.

NOT.

I'm sure that stuff in Gaza is merely for defensive purposes. The honorable Gazans would never even think of attacking Israel.

Smash them hard. Smash them soon.

Hey Islamakapigeaters how about lashing out on some punctuation, as that made little sense and even sort of made me think you might have been out partying before you wrote it.

"When will the...crowd finally... realize that 'land for peace' has NEVER worked..."
-- from a posting above

When?

When Islam is deemed relevant to the observable behavior of Muslims today. When the tenets of Islam are grasped, and then the attitudes that naturally arise in those who grow up suffused with Islam are understood, and the atmoshpherics of societies suffused with Islam understood not abstractly, but fully, with the application of imaginative sympathy.

Then, when Western politicians -- the well-prepared, who are the only ones who have a right, in perilous times, to govern -- are capable of seeing beyond the smiling, corrupt, plausible superficially westernized unrepresentative representatives of Islam -- Prince Bandar, Prince Turki al-Faisal, a whole series of Egyptians, Jordanians, even Lebanese Muslims -- they will understand the Islamic Law of War and Peace. They will have read, and not had a two-line paragraph fed them in some three-page Executive Summary, and digested, the Law of War and Peace in Islam, by Majid Khadduri, or similar texts -- there are thousands -- by Muslim jurisconsults explaining clearly why there can be no permanent peace with Infidels, but a temporary truce or "hudna" may be allowed, in order for the Muslim side to gain strength until it feels capable, whenever it can, to renew the attack.

That's when.

I know that there continues to be the sort of delusion and schizophrenia of the sort that provokes the most apparently rational (at least if you equate long-windedness to rationality) of us to suggest that that "idiot" Bush's handling of the Middle East might be improved by the sending in of suggestions on postcards. Having read some of the solutions put forward by some of the people that this is whimsically meant to appeal to on this site, I don't think that it would much improve matters, even if it was advice seriously meant, and even if it was advice seriously followed.

If there is any doubt about whose side your Senator is on according to his colours, and if there is any doubt whose side the President is on, then let me just let me fill you in on some recent events that might make you get a clearer picture (although, if you disagree with the Iraq conflagration because you hate Bush because you think that he is stupid, then there is no way that I can change your mind, and I'm sorry for you).

Today Ehud Olmert told SKY News's Adam Boulton:
Thank God that Bush is the President of the U.S.A.

This was in response to Boultons typically journalistic sniping about Bush being a Lame Duck. (Yes, there is a lot of Anti-Americanism in Britain - which is doubly shameful than the sort from Europe - we should know much better than that).

I don’t have a link for the full story - follow developments here if necessary:
http://adamboulton.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/11/this_sunday_liv_1.html#comments

Event 2, as SKY news tellingly puts it, USA refuses to condemn Israel - again.

The media is on their side, after all (mostly because they are too lazy or arrogant to get on the side of the White Hats).
Read it here:
http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1240525,00.html

US Ambassador John Bolton said the United States was "disturbed" that the Arab-backed draft resolution was "biased" against Israel and politically motivated.

Thank God for Bush's choice of Ambassador, or else there would be all sorts of topsy turvy chaos in the world and not just on this website. I hope the Democrats in the Senate - you know - those folks you voted in t'other day - the ones the Jihadists told you to vote for - I hope that they share the same appetite for a world that isn't by reflex anti-semite.

"Hamas is establishing an organized division with anti-tank capabilities and with missiles that could reach threatening distances," Galant said on Oct. 31. "It is reasonable to assume that, in the future, Hamas will deploy a force of thousands of terrorists, organized and well armed with weapons systems and night-vision systems, which will form a division."

I find the tolerance of Israel unbelievable. The Palestinian Arabs generally are a people who both as a matter of their Muhammad-cult religion and shear hate desire the annihilation of Israel and shoot missiles into Israeli towns, and yet Israel somehow must allow them to stay where they are un-attacked while they continue to plot. Can this absurd situation go on forever?

"I find the tolerance of Israel unbelievable."

FM - I wonder if it is because Israel is a democracy. (I'm not being sarcastic.) Like the U.S., it isn't able to just bomb the h*** out of every country that threatens it. Democracies follow international laws, etc. (And, of course, thugocracies do not.)

These free online newspapers might provide some insight:

payingattention- Iraq is an absolute hotbed for terrorism. It always has been. Terrorists flocked to Iraq and carried out hteir training there- the democrats claimed there was no link between Iraq and the terrorists that hit the trade centers and that was a flat out lie. I did a report on this awhile back and ran across an astonishing list of groups that were gathered in Iraq before the trade centers were hit and discovered how the terrorists were using cell phones to coordinate with terrorists IN Iraq right before the attack.

Those folks in the Gaza strip are asking for a big one to be dropped on them. Those miserable human beings are just that miserable. Their hatred of the jews is destroying them from within. Remember this folks, those who bless Israel are blessed and those who curse Israel are already cursed!

Posted by: callmeinfidel at November 12, 2006 2:24 PM

Josephine,
thanks for the links - so maybe I should have said that the Israeli people's tolerance is incredible. However, I think if the USA were half as much threatened, as small Israel is, by an identifiable, locatable enemy then the US would militarily lash out with overwhelming popular support. But real enemy of us all is the totalitarian Islamic ideology, and I wonder why there is not more educational effort by the influential Jewish powers that be in the media & the film industry to counter this fascism (even if it is not monolithic) and expose it for what it is.

Posted by: FM at November 12, 2006 3:17 PM

FM - Good questions & points. Have you seen The Israel Project's website:

Looking forward to a date I have on Wednesday with a Jewish woman I met online. She did her time in the IDF, and I mentioned this site in my profile. She didn't know what it was. She thought it was a pro-jihad site. I'm surprised she contacted me. I had to tell her that "watch" means anti.

Robert should consider changing the name to something less ambiguous. What about tohellwithjihad.com?

Anyway, it will be interesting to get her view of the situation from somebody who lived there. I pray to hell she is not a lefty. LOL

Lol Good luck August- you watch, she'll be one of those ravign mad Nancy Pelosi type lefties lol- J/K

It's the occupation stupid!!

since 1948 the Palestinian people have been forced out of their land to make place for total strangers who flocked to Palestine from all corners of the world with different features, languages and habits and customs, and to change the name of Palestine to Israel.

I see we have another moron here in the form of "Ramon" who doesn't bother to learn anything but what the mohammedans and their Gramscian western supporters tell him.

The problem with stupidity is that it spreads easier than warm peanut butter.
