When will middle east "freedom fighters" (and, ya know, I'm sure that's something they might think of themselves as)... When are they going to learn, that the Western World (as in, the current RULERS of the world, like it or not), does not feel sympathetic to such actions?
When are they going to knock this **** off for a day, go to a library and read about someone like Ghandi or MLK????
Why, if they are so terribly interested in getting us out of there, do they insist on taking actions that will inevitably keep us there, and make things harder on themselves?
I'm sorry but these fellows are idiots. So are the Palestinians, for that matter. In the latter's case, they actually have a very, very strong case. But the way the "present it" (with carbombs and the like), doesn't exactly make many people in the Western World want to listen to it, or help them. I'd be willing to guess that many people in America think they're a bunch of *******s.
Over the past few years I've drawn this conclusion, I'm sorry, but the Middle East is just full of morons. I'm sitting here with a puzzled brow, not overy agitated as I type, just completely, well, bewildered! I've read a bit of history, you don't find this sort of idiocy too often. With the internet surely they could study up a bit and come up with a better plan that might actually succeed!?
Where are the Ghandi's of the Middle East?
Well, anyway, while they're looking for one, I say we just take all our troops, build defenses around key oil regions, and defend a corridor to the sea. They were the Fertile Crescent long before people needed gasoline, and they did just fine back then. Let 'em go back to the stone age in all respects...
Cause I'll tell you right now, I don't care who gets elected, or how many troops we send over there, until the Middle Easterners can figure out a humane, compassionate way of trying to free themselves of our little Imperial Game, this **** will never stop. All we're doing is throwing a bunch of money into the sand.
(Oh, and, incidentally, freeing many people, at least some of whom must be genuinely grateful for all our soldiers dying over there to help them have a better life)... Maybe send "Habitat for Humanity en masse over there & build a nice new country in part of Iraq, build a big old wall, and leave the rest to the sandstorms and vultures?
I call it "Consolidate, then Crap"... New campaign catch-phrase?
