And people WONDER WHY I DON'T TRUST THE SAUDIS???????? ROFL

[Catspaw]

Derbyshire cuts right to the chase. Too bad Tom Friedman couldn't take lessons from him--or get a brain transplant.

I know communism was bad. However, deemphasizing religion may be good for our exceedingly mixed societies. Religion by definition, must assert its superiority to others. therefore, it always going to incite people to hate others to think of others as lesser than themselves.

The current "ruler" Crown "PRINCE" Abdullah is such a NUTCASE that a VERY strong case can be made that he KNEW IN ADVANCE of KING FAHD "STROKE" and that OBL MIGHT have aided him!!!! I mean this IS the type of LOONY we are dealing with here folks!!!

Too bad Tom Friedman couldn't take lessons from him--or get a brain transplant.

Thomas Friedman reminds me of an idiot savant (like Dustin Hoffman's character in the movie Rain Man.) He has occasional bursts of brilliant thought when he is not (for most of the time) a drooling imbecile.

Is there anything we can do about it?

More and more, I'm coming to the conclusion that Neutron weapons are the answer.

[Roger_W_Isom]

And of COURSE these RABID ANTI-SEMITES will DENY THIS TO THEIR GRAVES!!!! THEY ARE THAT EVIL!!!

[philosofy123]

I am sorry, I just happened to spend 40 years thinking about the mess in the mideast! may be you know better, my friend.

Anyone see Nightline last night?

A touchy feely peace on Israeli-Arab "cooperation". An island of tranquility in the Middle East where Jews and Arabs work together, where everyone is treated with respect, and where lives are valued and saved.

Watching, you would think this was some joint project.

It isn't.

They profiled the Haddasah Hospital. A place with Arab doctors and other staff working with Jewish colleagues. A place where all Arabs get world class medical care without discrimination

This is a Jewish hospital in Israel. It is an example of how Jews/Israelis treat the Arabs, only. It is not a joint venture. It is not how Arabs treat Jews- given the chance.

It was mentioned briefly, but for those who don't know, in 1948 Arabs massacred the staff, doctors and nurses of this hospital. They mutilated the corpses.

Notwithstanding the Jewish/Israeli good will of this hospital, who thinks that today a massacre of the Jewish staff would not occur- were the Arabs able.

I'm glad I'm a Jew, and I'm glad that after all, my people remain humane, but I'm getting angrier and angrier at what we endure.

Obviously they are decent, good citizens.

yeah, and Hitler was just misunderstood ...

[philosofy123]

The only reality is the cause of all this hate is a belief system that teaches superiority. If my God told me to drink blood, you may think that is savagery, but I think that I am superior to you, simply because God told me so.

Now think about it?

He has occasional bursts of brilliant thought when he is not (for most of the time) a drooling imbecile.

One of the most concise assessments of Tom Friedman I've heard in a long time. My suggestion to Friedman's newest thought ball is to have Friedman volunteer to personally guard the Temple Mount by himself. Of course, he'd be among friends....

ISLAM NEEDS TO REFORM And THATS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!

ISLAM CAN NOT REFORM!!!!!! To do so would be to committ MASS SUICIDE and the rulers of ISLAM KNOWS THIS!!!!

[Sabramerican]

Peace=piece

Although, what was meant to imply was that "peace" is possible.

Wrong implication.

[Paradox]

This article addresses what, essentially, is "the Elephant in the Living Room" in this whole conflict. It is really the bottom line, and probably not something that is going to be remedied within our lifetimes. This problem is fundamental, it goes to the very core of their centuries old beliefs. This is much harder than convincing the world that Communism was a bad idea, commies were spring chickens compared to this..

May I suggest to you the reading of the New Testament? Salvation lies within.

"However, deemphasizing religion may be good for our exceedingly mixed societies. Religion by definition, must assert its superiority to others. therefore, it always going to incite people to hate others to think of others as lesser than themselves."

The problem isn't religion--the problem is theocracy. Turkey is majority Muslim and has a secular government and is a relatively benign nation. Christian France, Spain, etc. during the days of the "Roman theocracy" was just as bad as any current theocratic Muslim state (remember the Inquisition, and decades of war waged on the nasty Protestants).
