Maybe give Alaska back to the Russians while you are at it. And the US
Canadian border to the west should be a few degrees south.

Maybe give the Mexicans California and Texas back.

It doesn't end.
In this case it would be more like letting the Germans keep Poland but
the Texas California situation might be similar. We took that as the
spoils of war.
(We bought Alaska)
I really thought the idea of wars of conquest went out since the 40s
when we gave everything back that we took in WWII. In fact the US has
given back virtually everything it has taken in war since 1898. We
pretty much only have Puerto Rico and a small patch in Cuba today.

The only lasting peace in the middle east will have to start at the
1967 borders.
Fact is, go back far enough, Israel has claim. Islam fascism didn't get
brewing until 630AD....

So picking some arbitrary point in time between then and now...sort of
arrogant of Obama to say that. If I was Israel, I would open up talks
with the Russians and Chinese.... US is an UNRELIABLE ally.
Russia and China might want them to go back to the pre-1948 borders.
It should be noted that the Saudis are nuzzling up to the Chinese as
we speak and most of the Arab world was aligned with the Soviets until
fairly recently. The thing that changed that was Mubarak aligning
himself with the US and getting billions in US military aid about 30
years ago. Then a week into the protests we threw him under the bus.
It would not be surprising that they started looking East for a
friend.
I just *love* your "conservative" view of history. Egypt began getting
U.S. military aid *after* it came to terms with a peace treaty with
Israel. You know, the deal Jimmy Carter brokered.
I didn't say what prompted the cooperation but you are right.
It is amazing what you can get if you promise to upgrade a country's
obsolete Soviet hardware with first line US hardware and a billion
dollar's worth of training to use them.
It is also significant that the guy we cut that deal with is gone. We
are still not sure who will rise up from the shambles in Egypt but we
hope it turns out better than Iran.

The peace deal was signed with Sadat, who was assassinated. It was
always a tragedy that the aftermath threw up Mubarak who, after all, was
just another right-wing dictator, the kind we always seem to support.
Sadat got his ass handed to him in 1973 and knew that his Soviet
equipment was useless. As Greg said his deal with Israel got him new
equipment, training and billions of dollars. Mubarak could have been
seeing all of the money coming in and decided that he wanted to line his
pockets rather than let Sadat pad his families pockets.

It also ushered in a lasting peace between two countries at each
other's throats.
Peace is usually what happens after you get your ass kicked by another
country.
So, that's your method maintaining peace... beat up on everyone else?
Sheesh.

Peace does not come from mutual respect it comes from fear of getting
your ass kicked or from recently having your ass kicked.


Maybe in your tiny world, but mutual respect is the key to lasting
peace.
I have no idea what point you're trying to make about Mubarak. He
didn't take over in a coup d'état.
Who lead the coup?

There was no coup. Do you have the ability to Google?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosni_Mubarak
Mubarak took power after a failed coup.


Huh? There was no failed coup that involved Mubarak's ascendancy to
the office. He was already there.



Mubarak was Sadat's vice president. When Sadat was murdered, Mubarak
succeeded him as president. BAR the birther went into the marines about
then. Maybe he was kept in isolation.

All of the Routers are capable of running IPv6 now. All of your recent
Ethernet interfaces are capable of running IPv6. All of the OSes are
capable of running IPv6. The problem is that the internal network
infrastructure, meaning policies and procedures is are not capable of
running IPv6.

D'oh. Get up to speed, birther. Your boy Canuck claimed Mubarak was
"elected" in a "real" election. The election was fixed by any reasonable
standards. Oh, and Mubarak didn't become president because of a coup, as
you stated. Didn't they teach you history in the marines, since you
obviously skipped it while you were in high school?

As if US elections are not. People conditioned to think Dimwith or
GOP...rich pick the ponies in a ruse of democracy, and as a herd the
public always votes for one of the two hand picked ponies. No
coincidence Obama was brought in so quick, they could see Hilary would
loose to McCain so go for the race card to get the pocket boy in the
office.

No one in the Dimwit party likes to talk about how Obama raised so much
money so quickly.

Fact is, Mubarak won, US in 2005 supported it, Obama back stabbed him
and the world outside of US media control knows it. And certainly at
least as legitimate and Florida...as at least they could count.

Mubarak was a dictator.

"More of the World's Worst Dictators
Hosni Mubarak

Back to World's Worst Dictators home...

20. Hosni Mubarak
Egypt
Age: 80
In power since: 1981
Last year's rank: 17

The use of torture in Egypt has been widely documented. In response to
international pressure, Mubarak allowed local elections in 2008, but in
80% of the contests, his party’s candidates ran unopposed. He made it so
difficult to register or campaign that turnout was estimated at only 3%.


Funny, even the CIA thinks he was elected. But yes, not much opposition
when you get 88.6% of the democratic vote.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat...k/geos/eg.html

But now that Obama supported his over throw, well, it is a military
dictatorship with a Muslim Brotherhood gathering political leaning.

Yep, Obama asked a democratic leader to step down for military rule.
Not very democratic of Osama is it....

LOL, fleabaggers can dream on, but Obama just says the word "democracy"
to sucker bate in fleabaggers and weak minds, Obama has other ideas.

If you look at the UN, US, France and NATO actions, extrapolate the
facts and remove the media propaganda.....

The US-FR-NATO-UN-IMF is a regime of corporate and colonial alliance of
aggression. It has squat to do with democracy and the people of the
countries they attack an subvert, it is about power and control.

And the amount of media propaganda is astounding. But fortunately for
the Internet the real facts eventually leak out.
