Middle east outcome

[cigar no baka]

baka...or someone....please try to explain the good job that shrub is doing.. (as his approval ratings continue to drop faster than a gown on prom night)....


you should be ashamed of yourself for continuing to believe in him....

Bush is doing a great job on everything I am aware of, including the Iraq war, except:

Border control and immigration. I am so disappointed in the Republican party that I am seriously considering not voting for the first time since I was 18.

Stem cell research. I find the benefits to outweight the risks and am very disappointed.

As for shame, you should be ashamed of your own party as it has become a party of uncontrolled taxing, destroying our rights, fracturing our nation into groups of people who use minority rule to rule through the court system and violate our sacred right as voters to vote our own destinies, and refusing to realize that morality does play a huge part in our culture and should not be sacrificed to the altar of PC-think, uber-minority rights and perversion.

I love being an independent because it helps avoid all these politically charged discussions. What sucks is I can never find a guy running who has all the same idea's as me, so I end up voting for some retard who ends up voting for the most popular guy's ideas and next thing I know, I helped with the degradation of society. So, in advance of all the stupid things my next vote-receiver does, I apologize for the dumb-ass popularity chaser that I will ultimately put into office.

Is this the viewpoint that we are supposed to "understand?"

Hizbollah "Swearing in ceremony"

Many Arab political parties had their roots as resistance movements sympathetic to Nazi expansion in the Middle East. Since that time, Islamic armies and militias have identified with, and adopted symbols from, Nazi propaganda.

Don't get started with nazis. If you want to talk about connections to nazis, follow this link.

The Bush family is chock full of nazi racist pricks.

[WhiteWidow]

Dude, I'm not talking about connections to Nazis, look for yourself, these guys were and are Nazis.

I'm not even making an argument for/against/about Bush or the US, I'm simply trying to point out the scum that Hezbollah is.

They may be scum, but they're duly and democratically elected scum. They've done more to rebuild Lebanon than anyone else, mostly because no-one else in the country had as much cash.
The problem is it's now acceptable, per dumbya's lead, to solve every problem by military force. Damn the diplomacy.

BTW, dumbya and his group were, and still are, nazis. Fascist assholes.

[thepyrofish]

Fascists, perhaps. That's your opinion. I very much doubt though, that the current US administration has any political affiliation with the Third Reich. Certain word, Nazi for one, should not be thrown around so cavalierly in my opinion. I'm not real goodwith US politics, following all the BS in my own country is hard enough, but I'm pretty sure you can make a point without throwing those kind of words around. While I don't agree with everything the American government does, I don't see them lining up homosexuals and Jews to the gas chambers. A little civility in your arguments, from all sides, is all I ask.

Then I volunteer you to go over and try and use any kind of logical reasoning with someone like Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah.

Do Independents get to referee?

We have two fouls on the play. Illegal use of Nazi links on the conservatives AND on the liberals. The penalties offset, repeat the down.

Before WWII, the US had a policy of non-involvement in European affairs. This created very strange relationships with Nazi Germany. Up until the invasion of Poland, everything was cool with Germany. Even their invasions of France and Czech were shrugged off as taking what was theirs.

Even after Poland was invaded, the US wasn't terribly interested in the war in Europe. Even when the US leadership was starting to get worried, US businesses were operating in Germany.

Imagine if...
Israel currently occupies part of Palestine and might invade Lebanon. What if they decide to take advantage of the situation and just occupy Palestine and the Moslem parts of Lebanon? The US would probably shrug that off. The UN might write a strongly-worded letter, but I doubt there would be any sort of sanctions placed on Israel.

Certainly, US companies would be free to do business with Israel and no one would shun them for doing so. It would be business as usual.

But what if Israel then decided they were sick of this crap and invaded Saudi Arabia or Jordan or the United Arab Emirates or something? That would start raising eyebrows. A lot of companies would have to come to the reality of dealing with Israel. Can we continue to sell them arms? Food? Toasters? Can US companies employ their software developers? Can we evacuate a programmer that also worked on Israeli military software?

That's pretty much what US companies faced at the onset of what would become WWII.

(Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting the Israeli government would do such a thing; they're just an easy example)

A common mudslinging tactic is to curse those or their anscestors. for doing something before it was considered illegal or immoral
