One way or another GWB and his band of merrymen are nincompoops to the power n. However, who are we to say that everything he has done will turn out to be negative lets say 10 years from now.

Please, indulge me, and "wax lyrical" about how wonderful it is living as a dhimmi under the benign rule of Muslim despots. I need a few laughs.
"One of the earliest eyewitness accounts of the Jewish population in Modern Iran is provided by J. J. Benjamin who traveled through Iran in mid 19th century. According to him, the Persian Jews were required to live in a segregated part of the city, considered unclean, and forbidden to walk or trade in the Moslem areas. They were forbidden to trade in foodstuff or go out when it rains on account of their impurity. If a Persian Moslem killed a Jew, his punishment upon the testimony of two Moslems against him was a fine of 12 tomans, while lack of Moslem witnesses let the crime go unpunished. A jew who wishes to make a purchase in a store is forbidden to inspect the good and upon touching it is required to purchase it at any quoted price. And finally Benjamin tells us that a Persian Jew who dared to show himself outdoor during the days of Shi'ai religious mourning "is sure to be murdered."
Yeah, those jews, always causing problems.
If the diaspora was "good" for the Jews, it should nourish the "strength and intellectual vibrancy" of the Palestinian diaspora.
But somehow, I don't think a crypto-jihadist like yourself would understand that.

You could say the same thing about the Jews who I think, if memory serves, were there long before the Arabs.

(Mar 9 06, 11:02)lol - i'm sure you meant the Jews were there long before the MUSLIMS. The Arabs lived there since time imemorial - there are Arab Jews too (mainly the ones you call Sephardic).
Haha, I can see you trying to drag me into your usual straw man arguments and baseless rhetoric Cocktus. I can wax lyrical about how the very creation of the state of Israel precipitated ethnic tension between indigineous Jews and Arabs who had managed to live peacefully under Ottoman rule (though, for example, Iran still contains a significant Jewish minority that recently came out in defence of their countries nuclear ambitions). I can talk at length how Zionism is fundamentally fucked up since the strength and intellectual vibrancy of Judaism has always been in the diaspora, and how the very being of the state of Israel destoy's the idea of "the diaspora" (and i'm not just talking about the Zionists who collaberated with the Nazis or despicable Arab regimes to force Jews out of their homes unwillingly).
But with a proto-fascist like you, what would be the point?
Histories told by winners baby, and might is right.
heh.

... and the Shephardic Jews who were expelled from their homes throughout the Muslim world?
Arabs had militias too and where backed by the armies of all the surrounding nations.
"A people who lived in that land for thousands of years found themselves effectively ethnically cleansed..."
You could say the same thing about the Jews who I think, if memory serves, were there long before the Arabs.

...and Dubi might be the greediest fucking nation on earth... and I mean that in a good way...
terrorism isn't good for business especially tourism...
are they not striving to be the de facto destination for ultra wealthy cats?
that's why uae hasn't recognized isreral... it wouldn't be good for business...
ya think establishing diplomatic ties to isreal might invite some islam-o facists to blow themselves the fuck up in one of those swanky hotels?
i do.

My biggest beef with this whole thing is how bush tried to ram it through. Threatening vetoes before anyone even disputed it.
Bush has never vetoed anything in his presidency.
Then you see that this company in Dubai has ties to the Carlyle group to which his father was on the board of directors and many ex-gov officials sit on this board and it all starts to make a ton of sense.
