The Middle East Powder Keg

Now Lebanon is getting restless too?

The Middle East is filled to the brim--to the tippy-top--with frenzied masses of people who absolutely must destroy and blow-up anything they can find--or just beat women senseless/or to death on a 24/7 basis.

It is the same as it was 40 years ago. And 100 years ago. And 500 years ago. And 1000 years ago.

not surprising thaat uber muslims are taking advantage of the overall unrest to make the sorts of governments their "faith" requires them to work at.

If you go on supporting the Israeli nazis you can forget having any power other than with the rich murderers and bullyboys, Do you really want to support your masters to that extent? What did they ever do for you?

....ummmm, your anti-semitism is showing. If Israel didn't exist, these people would still be killing each other and the religion of hatred would still march on.

Oh yes, martyrdom for the 72 virgins, and the family has a big celebration afterwards.

Iran sent children out into Saddam's minefields as sweepers. Just a different form of abortion I guess. How clever of them.
