"What we, as Arabs, should truly feel humiliated about are the prevailing political and social conditions in the Arab world -- especially in Iraq -- which allowed someone such as Saddam Hussein to...assume the presidency. We should feel humiliated that Saddam was able...to single-handedly initiate a number of catastrophic policies that transformed Iraq, relatively rich in natural, human and financial resources, into the poorest, most debt-ridden country in the Arab world, not to mention the hundreds of thousands killed and displaced. We should feel humiliated that some of our intellectuals, supposedly the representatives of our nations' consciences and the defenders of their liberty and dignity, not only dealt with Saddam, but also supported him.... The Arabs should have been the ones to bring down Saddam, in defense of their own dignity and their own true interests." --Osama al-Ghazali Harb, Egypt's Al Ahram center for strategic studies
There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
Hypocrisy is the homage paid by vice to virtue.
Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.

Same kind of thing happened with europeans and Hitler, Why should Arabs be any different? Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

And everything in between.
Saxon, the reason the Arabs didn't mind if Iraq attacked Iran is because the Iranians ARE NOT ARABS.
They are actually Aryan is you can believe that.
Hairy, what do you know about the "Minutes of the
Elders of Zion"?
I understand it was revealed as a fake.
What men call a hero...is merely a man who is seen doing what a brave man does as a matter of course.

Elders of Zion"? I understand it was revealed as a fake.][/quote]I agree; I understood it was written in Russia first and then distributed from there.
Someone on this site told me (given my support for the Palestinians and frequent quotes of the Nazi regime) that I should read Mein Kampf and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I ordered them both (I follow directions well) and am awaiting their arrival. [:)]

A dead intruder cannot testify against you in a court of law!
If they're still moving, put another round in them!
The Protocals of the Elders of Zion are terrifying. If they are true, I could see why the Elders would lie, kill, torture, to keep them under wraps.
Can't wait to see your post afterwards!
