You really seem to have an affinity for tight-fisted police states.
Is
that part of being a conservative?
When the alternative is genocide and never ending war, you bet your
ass.
Tito was a prick but the people who rose up after the Soviets left
were worse. Is the Ayatollah better than the Shah? (for anyone but the
most radical muslim fundamentalists).
---------------------------
Some people are very critical of US installed or supported "puppet"
leaders like the Shah, but there has been a long history of interest
in attempting to control the growth and influence of religiously
motivated Islamic Fundamentalists. It worked for many years but we
are losing that fight and ability. The Shah may have been corrupt but
he was predictable and had some semblance of control. The world is
certainly not safer when religious zealots take over, especially those
who are fundamentalists in the Islam teachings and beliefs.
Remember, Harry is of the opinion that the religious zealots causing
problems in the world are
Christians.
Yeah, while hundreds of Christian churches are being burned, 100,000
displaced in Egypt... South America, etc.. The Muslim religion of hate
and intolerance is pushing this issue....
Well, if you think that about Muslims, you ought to become one, since
you are the most hate-filled and intolerant little **** in this usenet
group.
Go for it.
