==========================
Ever notice how some news events come and go and sometimes *gasp* even end! Too bad the ME is the lone standout. This shit has been going on for so long now that its going to take a chemical or biological attack with hundreds or more dead, most likely in Cheynea, or Isreal for us (the United States of America, the planets last or only present super power) to finally just snap.
Hell, maybe it wont be us, maybe it will be India. It, like Israel has had to deal with neighbors whom are just itching to kill as many non-muslims as possible.
Now we are being drawn into this more and more. This is only going to an end when we nuke one of these nations, the countries are like bratty kids, you pander to them and let them run wild and its eventually going to bite us big time in the ass...and the leg...and the throat.
We didnt like it when we did it to the japs, the nuking, but we did it. Maybe our enemies dont think we'll use it or maybe they are just a sick, suicidal culture of vermin.
We will end this once and for all after we use tactical nukes.
Ever realize how all the bordering regions of the middle east, there are fanatical muslims invading and killing?
To the North, Cheychen Muslims, to the east muslims clashing with India and western china provinces, to the west....growing larger and larger. To the south, slaughtering Indonisian christans, and the surrounding islands.
Isreal

GDP - real growth rate: | 5.9% (2000 est.) |
GDP - per capita: | purchasing power parity - $18,900 (2000 est.) |
Saudi Arabia
GDP: | purchasing power parity - $232 billion (2000 est.) |
GDP - real growth rate: | 4% (2000 est.) |
GDP - per capita: | purchasing power parity - $10,500 (2000 est.) |
You forgot the ending. I'd suggest
1) Face the facts, Arabs suck.
2)Face the facts, Arabs are terrorists.
3) Face the facts, Arabs would die without our technology and food.
Simple -- they're going to (try to) destroy Israel, so that they will no longer be embarrassed by the comparison.
It's the same as the liberal reaction to a good example: "He's doing better than the masses, they feel bad about their inadequacy -- let's drag him down to our level".
In general I don't like foreign aid, though I wouldn't like to see Israel singled out for cuts.
I have always been reliably pro-Israel (Pat would probably say I'm in their amen corner), even though I criticize their semi-socialist economics and union monopolies. That said, it's practically Galt's Gulch compared to any Arab economy.
Many Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia, also get IMF loans for arms purchases from US companies. Isreal at least manufactures their own.
The economies of all countries in the middle east (except Iraq) are to some extent subsidized by the United States.
They will whine, curse the Great Satan, and send in more homicide bombers.
