IMHO we should have nuked them all on 9/12. Maybe that's why I'm not President, I dunno.

What's with the animus against Jordan? The King of Jordan has been probably the closest thing in the Middle East we have to someone who truly does admire the U.S. and seeks to stay on good terms with us...without getting over-thrown by all the Palestinian refugee radicals in his midst...or his dear Arab 'brother' neighbors Iraq and Syria.
Libya is an interesting choice. Ever since Ronald Reagan bloodied Kaddafy's nose back in the mid-80's, it seems that he has kept a pretty low profile. That doesn't make him our friend. And there has been some intel scuttle-butt about some links to terrorism still...but is it solid enough to go after him? Egypt's state-controlled press is pure poison, and the U.S. subsidies to Egypt...even larger than to Israel...should cease immediately until Hosni Mubarrak turns the editorial policy around 180-degrees. Saudi Arabia clearly is the banker for Terror Intl. and their mega-mosque program around the world is intended, along with their Madrassas in Pakistan, to foment their perverse Wahabbist Islamism...and provide both freshly zealous recruits and plausible-deniability cover for the Jihad. Anybody seen their television ads on CNN and even Fox News trying to convince the sheeple that they are our 'Friends'?
