We have no idea what you are, Bart. You certainly aren't a Buddhist; you
don't
even know how its spelled!

Unless, off course, you're really claiming you worship Budweiser.

If that's true, then what does Hotei drink??

BTW for those unfamiliar with Shinto, the monk Hotei was a traveler who
spread wisdom and has been elevated to god status, and is associated
with happiness & plenty

They have already nearly conquered Europe.

Keep an eye on Spain. This is a country that has
been invaded many times in the past. It, along with
Israel are priority targets of Islamic forces.

Have you ever played Risk? You attack at your
borders. Consider all Islamic countries as one
nation. And remember, the group that controls
the middle east tends to win the game.

How about that for a divine joke? The game
"Risk" has real world relevance.

Bart you must be smokin' better Bud than me.......!!!!

You started this mess.... yes Your country did start it! You put Osama in
power to combat the Russians... now your ill thought out plan has backfired
and you have managed to stumble forward with continued lack of perspective
to arrive were you are.

You gave them more of a cause to rally around than any other reason. Your
idiot of a president with his "crusade" comment! You consistently fail to
deliver on promises and fail to meet your objectives.


You endanger any friendly nation associating with you.... your "friends"
and coalition partners are abandoning you in droves! The terrorists are
gaining ground and the situation is worsening!

You seem to have the might but not the intellect to accomplish the goals of
peace.

In short... you are acting like collective Dumbasses!

Truly Pathetic and I expect better!

What on earth are you talking about?

That's because it doesn't have planes or ICBMs.

The Middle East is one of the *hardest* territories to hold - it borders too
many other countries and is thus open to attack from all sides. Of the
contnents, Australasia is the easiest to hold (1 border), followed by South
America (2 borders). Africa and North America next (3 borders each). Europe
(4 borders) and Asia (5 borders) are invariably a bloodbath.

Of the countless games of Risk I've played, I never saw anyone make gains
out of trying to control the Middle East unless it was part of a successful
wider strategy, namely, to capture and hold Asia for long enough to start
earning reinforcements. Hard to do because those in Africa and Europe know
what Asia is worth and will keep trashing the Middle East to prevent Asia
from consolidating.

I go for Africa and then the Middle East and then reinforce
until I can take So America, and then nibble away at Europe
or N. America.

Africa is somewhat easy to hold and offers an extra army over
So American or Australia which seems to be an edge over
those two continents. Moving from East Africa to the Middle
East keeps the number of territories needed to defend the same.

I think going to Asia is insane. It is too big, has too may borders
and always fails.

Have you tried putting two game boards together? It makes the
game more interesting. Then one of the Asia's is a good option.
