Yeah, I lived there, too. Gruess Gott and the Abrams is no match for the T-whatever. Pacifists, right.

Are you of the opinion that during WWII, Churchill really wanted to see the Germans and Russians really chew each other up?

[sarasmom]

Agreed, and no one has been playing that "liberate the Syrians" song, have they?
Yo-Syria, come get some!

[Redcloak]

[Redleg Duke]

'Cause his ass ain't far behind!

Churchill thought highly of the Germans and their army. By the same token, he wanted to beat them. Don't know if he thought of Russians much, if at all. But Uncle Joe sure had to beat on Churchill and FDR forever to get the Western Front opened. Seemed like a long delay at the time. Maybe it was.

Thanks for this post.

The lady who cuts my hair left Syria about 7 years ago. A great story, she arrived in the US with next to nothing. Now she's married and on the verge of buying her first home.

She says most Americans don't realize that her country is also a brutal dictatorship. She told me last week that she prays every night that America will free her homeland, which she obviously still loves deeply. Her relatives back in Syria feel the same--all hope that one day their country will be a democracy. I hope so, too.

As for the call for suicide attacks, by Sheikh Ahmad Kaftaro,...

Why do you suppose this fellow doesn't stand first in line?

Actually, the Cold War was WWIII (that included the three major hot wars, Korea, Vietnam, & the Soviets in Afghanistan, plus numerous smaller conflicts.) This is WWIV. I've known that since September 11, but it's only now becoming clear who is on what side.

Dead man squawking.

I've read a very cogent article with this analysis.
Can't remember. Was it Paul Johnson?

Incidentally, each new World War begins with a re-alignmnent of enemies and allies. Certainly that is under way now.
