See what kindness gets you Joe.... a kick in the teeth is what. You guys
should just pull out of there and leave them to their own means. .... while
you're at it.. to hell with the Israel as well.... really... what have they
ever done for you guys anyway?
Oil? Ph-h-h-f-f-t-t.... we got oil in Canada... buy from us. Let's face
it.. you're buying our sick cows at it is.
Until you are prepared to go in to the Arab region and do some sincere and
well intentioned ethnic cleansing you will be fighting a loosing battle that
only serves to bolster the ranks of your enemies and line their pockets with
the cash of sympathizers claiming to be your friends.
It's about time we finished this "Crusade" thing once and for all..... the
world is over-populated anyway. those two faced back-stabbing Camel Jockeys
deserve a one way ticket to the promised land. I'd say it's high time you
punched that ticket and let some real "Oil Men" move in to the area....
like some Texans for instance.

Where are the Arabs when Moslems_really_are_Refugees?
By Naomi Ragen
I have been watching with growing amazement how the
Americans are being criticized for the disaster in the
Indian Ocean. First, the UN (Americans are the largest
financial contributor to the UN, with 3 billion dollars
in 2003 alone) called America "stingy." Then President
Bush, who made a policy statement 72 hours after the
disaster, while Kofi Anan was still on Christmas
vacation, and the Swedes, who had thousands of
citizens feared dead, had
nothing to say. But no one has said a word about Saudi
Arabia's $10 million dollar aid package.
Wow! Considering the billions they have funnelled into
terror groups, that's really big of them.
Almost exactly a year ago, on Jan 1 2004, Americans
also went to Iran to help when an earthquake killed
30,000. According to CBS news one Iranian cleric
greeted the help with the following statement: "We hate
the arrogance of the Americans and we are sure that
they haven't come for humanitarian reasons, but for
other things like spying," said Abdullah Irani, a
mullah from Qum, the main center for Shia Muslim
clerics in Iran."
And just try to Google Syrian aid for tsunami victims
... See what you come up with. Zero.
Given the fact that Indonesia is 78% Moslem, and has
lost more than 100,000 people, Sri Lanka is 8% Moslem,
and India is 11% Moslem, one would think that Arab
nations would now show an outpouring of support and
sympathy. After all, isn't that the excuse they always
use for backing the "poor Palestinians" --
that they are fellow Moslems and their solidarity is a
given? And doesn't the West tip-toe around Muslim
sensibilities whether it be the Americans who are
terrified of entering a mosque (even one being used as
a shelter for terrorists), or Parisians who dare to ask
girls not to wear Islamic head coverings to class, or
British, who allow local Imams to give hate sermons in
London mosques? Isn't the Western belief that that to
hurt or offend one Moslem is to hurt and offend them
all? So, how is it, that the great solidarity of the
Islamic world when it comes to their "pride" or their
touchy religious sensibilities doesn't extend to
humanitarian aid when thousands of Moslems lay dead in
the streets? Where are the much touted "Moslem
Benevolent Funds" when you really need them for
something other than guns to kill Israelis and blow up planes?
Makes one think, doesn't it, that perhaps all these
years their concern for the plight of the Palestinian
"refugees" wasn't based on purely humanitarian grounds.
Let's just see how charitable Moslems will be to the
millions of Moslem refugees in Asia now, people who,
unlike the Palestinians, really don't have a roof over
their heads or a way to earn a living. Let's just see.
