My solution for the Middle East
« Reply #30 on: April 19, 2002, 09:26:47 PM »
We now return to the theme of the thread............

I like it....

Give the big oil companies a triilion dollars of tax free income....translated to say ten years of their normal "net income" and another trillion to develop alternatives.

Lots left over for the other relevant industries.

Upside for the environment and world peace!

Only problem is....

The Mid-East would likely "explode" without the spending of the trillion that is given to the oil companies.  

If we don't fight terrorism now, for example, then it wins for at least the time it takes for the terrorists to go broke.

Better double that estimated 5-10 trillion dollars we need to spend!

Hitler went out and tried to crush people,who would have otherwise do nothing to the germans.
I am a Jew.Arabs don`t like me,they want me dead.They want to destroy my people and they want to destroy Israel.

I think the majority of Palestinians just want a country of their own.

Just like Israelis wanted a country of their own, saw someone else's, and took it. They didn't take it peacefully, they had to use terrorism and kill a lot of Arabs who were in the way, and expel a few million.

Now the Palestinians want the West Bank, but Israel wants the West Bank as well, so they are fighting over it.

The Palestinians use suicide bombs to kill the Israelis, the Israelis use tanks, artillery, snipers and aircraft to kill the Palestinians.

In the last couple of years of war, the Israelis have managed to kill about 2- 3 times as many Palestinians as the Palestinians have managed to kill Israelis.

It's sad that Caligula can't even see the contradiction in his position. The Arabs want to kill him so he wants to kill the Arabs.

He wants to kill the Arabs so the Arabs want to kill him.

And why do they want to kill each other?

The Palestinians want the West Bank, and are prepared to kill for it.

The Israelis want the West Bank and are prepared to kill for it.

Caligula, who has come up with phrases like "crush them", "I want them dead", "get rid of the Palestinians" tries to claim the moral high ground.

Funny old world, isn't it?
