One night I was flagged to tune into Politically Incorrect, poor old Bill was red faced and flustrated at the inability of these people to follow logic or accept responsibility for their own actions. So much for all these cultures being superior or on a par with ours, they can barely even reason that two follows one. They very much remind me of Liberals, talk about a bag of rags that belongs together.

I've often heard that the Arab view of history is that it is open and living. To them, the Crusades never ended and it could have been yesterday as far as they're concerned. The Gulf War was simply a continuation of something on which the book had never been closed. You know, everything is in living memory.
Consider how interesting it was, then, when last week Taliban leaders called for America to "forget" about the 9/11 attacks.

Imagine what their countries would be like without the oil. Cultural attitudes mean things, and have consequences. The problem is, race/poverty pimps start whining if you say things that are a little too uncomfortably true. Can you imagine what Mexico would be like, without the benefits it gets from bordering on the U.S.? There are a lot of wonderful Mexican people, but what a rotten culture.
