If that is New Texas, then the World Trade Center is the new Alamo.

You forgot to rename Turkey the source of terrorism for the last 600 or so years.

[artw]

Now that is great! This is the first time that I've laughed since Tuesday. Thank you.

[BaBaStooey]

Hey, what's up with Palestine on that map, haha

[NovemberCharlie]

On what occasions?

[DoughtyOne]

I wanted to credit FlJoePa for coming up with this idea.  His original map
looked like this.  I thought it was quite creative, but morphed in the Toast
on the one posted first on this thread.  He shoud get credit for this.

I saw this earlier today on FreeRepublic: "Kick their ass and take their gas"

[spartan68]

ROFLMAO

[Joe Hadenuf]

I think it would be more fitting as "New York East".

[ExpatCanuck]

Please explain what you are referring to. I thought Turkey was an ally and equally plagued by fundamentalist Muslims.

[Ditter]

Great map I e-mailed to a few people on my list. ;9)

[Joe Hadenuf]

And you have the capital wrong. It's not Tehran, its Theyran.

[KneelBeforeZod]

turkey has done everything they can to become considered "european" and western.

[cajungirl]

You guys are killing me,,someone ought to email this to Jay Leno,,it is priceless.

[PoisedWoman]

Thanks. FOTFLMAO for the first time this week.

[HiTech RedNeck]

ROFLOL-BUMP!

[KneelBeforeZod]

Turkey used to send terrorist attacks against the Cherokees, Saxons, Vikings and Aztecs.

[KneelBeforeZod]

so thats why they want in on the euro. DUH

[HiTech RedNeck]

CHEROKEES?

[KneelBeforeZod]

oops that wasn't for you. DUH

[xm177e2]

Actually, it's not my idea, it's FlJoePa's.

[NovemberCharlie]

???

Now I'm really confused. Elaborate.

[Moonmad27]

Both ideas are great; the addition of "Toast" just made it absolutely perfect!

[Syncro]

Thought you might get a kick out of this...

[eleni121]

Your comment is an example of the ignorance of many in the West concerning Turkey. Turkey plays the game to get the weapons to oppress and brutalize their people, including Christians and Muslim Kurds. Turkey has commited genocide against Christian Armenians and Greeks and Assyrians in the 20th centruy and yet the US looks away and has not even recognized these atrocities. The KLA and UCK - terrorist Muslim organizations in the Balkans get their money and supplies through Turkey. Turkey allied itself with Germany in WWII and was the first nation to recognize the Soviet Union.

Need more convincing?

[eleni121]

"turkey has done everything they can to become considered "european" and western."

Does that include genocides, brutalities, state narco trafficking, military support to the Albanian UCK, etc etc.?

[Joe Hadenuf]

You guys fight over it.

[eleni121]

Destruction of the Christian Byzantine Empire

Enslavement of Christian peoples of the Balkans

the kidnapping and forcible Islamification of Christian children for over 100 years

The genocide of over 3 million Christian Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians in the 20th century inspiring Hitler to model his own extermination program after Ataturk's.

There is more.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Does that include genocides, brutalities, state narco trafficking, military support to the Albanian UCK, etc etc.?

Those with sufficiently thick tinfoil hats would say that's the American way (LOL).

[NovemberCharlie]

Destruction of the Christian Byzantine Empire

This one definitely seems out of place. I can't really bring myself to grieve that one empire has been defeated by the other. The other events seem to be committed against the Emipre's own subjects, which is not generally what people think of as terrorism, just straightforward tyranny.

On another note, any terrorist acts that you know of committed by the current regime?

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks. I like playing with graphics.

[eleni121]

"I can't really bring myself to grieve that one empire has been defeated by the other." If you cannot grieve that singular historical event - the destruction of the Byzantine Empire by the Muslim Turks ...you are useless. As for what Turkey commits today, check out Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International. There's plenty of material there too.

[Nogbad]

"You forgot to rename Turkey the source of terrorism for the last 600 or so years."

How's the weather in Athens?

[Rebelbase]

Thanks for the laugh. They have been few and far between recently.

[Cleburne]

They have been fighting the Muslim Kurds, amoung other things, and tactic have not always fit the ethics of the situation so to speak. But the genocide early in the last century, of their own people, is probably the worst, albiet virtually unreported these days.

[eleni121]

Actually the weather is beautiful here in Buffalo, NY.

Your posting however reminds me of avoidance theory.

[mafree]

You guys are killing me,,someone ought to email this to Jay Leno,,it is priceless.

You know what, part of me has really missed Leno this week but then, how could he joke about what happened? He has joked about Bin Laden before- maybe someone should have taken it a little more seriously.

[FITZ]

This should have a nice effect on our oil prices.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Remember that 70's song "Twenty-One Point Nine"?

[Sueann]

ROTFLOL - tooooo funny! Thanks, I needed that! Just found out today my daughter-in-law's brother has already been told to get packed and be ready to move. He's a medic. Then I heard my Niece's husband thinks he may go soon also.
