Psychotic?
As if. It is the only truly long term solution to the entire problem. The region of syria transjordan was at differing times under the control of syria or jordan. Most recently, the owners of the region in question was the hashemite family of jordan. In effect, the entire region around jerusalem was jordanian territory. My military and historical reference is THE ARAB-ISRAELI WARS, by CHAIM HERZOG, a good read with a highly useful bibliography. It was during the 1948 birth of the nation of Israel that a multinational coalition of arab nations, using ex-SS and Nazi soldiers no less, attacked Israel with the intent of "driving them into the sea." The arab leaders at the time told the palestinian natives to leave their homes so that the arab forces could better engage the jews without endangering fellow arabs. It was promised that once the jews were annihilated, they could return and take part in the pillaging and plundering of the conquered jewish areas. A few more sensible arabs as well as the Israeli govt asked all inhabitants to just stay in their homes and not get involved. The Israeli govt wasn't going to take anything away from anyone. The ultimate result? The arab victories never materialized. Numerous arab confederacies sprung up: 1956, 1967, 1969, 1973- and all were overwhelmingly defeated. Indeed the victories were the sort of lopsided victories straight out of the bible; the Israelites outnumbered by as many as 8:1, out gunned, out equipped....and yet their enemies were thrown into confusion and utterly crushed by Israel. If the UN had stayed out of the 1956 conflict there is a high probability that none of this would be happening today. In much the same way we don't have anymore militaristic japanese emperors giving us anymore trouble. There wouldn't be any fanatic wahabi clerics causing trouble either, if Israel had been allowed to finish what other people started. The arab nations are that punk kid whose older cousUN is always keeping them from having their ass cash a check that their mouth wrote. The UN never interfered any of the times the arabs tried to invade and destroy Israel. No, they only decided to do something when it was plainly clear that the arab capitols were about to be captured. And the UN can't have Israel dictating the terms of surrender for egypt, syria, lebanon, jordan, iraq, and anyone else stupid enough to bring a fight to Israel. Syria or Jordan could have absorbed the refugees that they created from Israel. If the refugees had just stayed home and minded their own business, they would have become Israeli citizens, with all the rights afforded Israeli citizens but none of the military obligations. Instead they gambled their childrens future in hopes of the unjust gain from looting the jewish areas that they had coveted. They got what they deserved....0 Now their fellow arabs hope that if they keep the palestinians in a screwed up enough situation long enough. Then hopefully they can obtain though international diplomacy what they couldn't obtain militarily; a foothold far enough into Israel to effect a military victory i.e. drive them into the sea. My solution punishes the wicked parents at present who think nothing of throwing their children into the fires of Molech; it punishes their enablers as well. I can be a bit flexible on the cut-off group for the age. You can never underestimate the ability of crass candy coated commercialism to influence kids. What's to miss? Hunger, fear, murderous parents that are just waiting for you to be old enough to go join your "martyred" brothers and sisters in the field. I'm sure there would be no shortages of volunteers for pokemon and icecream. Their bloodline would merge and be absorbed into the nations of the western alliance. The blood sin of genocide would be avoided, all would be copasetic. I hate no man. I can only hate that which I have loved. Which means that I hate an ex or two and that's about it. My wife isn't an HVAC tech, can't say I have ever even seen one(a chick tech) in this field.

"Making an Ass of Yourself for Dummies" by two proven experts
Quote:
Sadly, if either of these windbags actually has anything useful to say, it gets lost in the vitriolic effluvium they spew so carelessly and ceaselessly. It would be so much more amusing if one of them would begin a tiresome rant with "Jane, you ignorant slut!" When it comes to "Making an Ass of Yourself," these two wrote the book. PS. The only post (by the ninny twins) worth reading was when Radar had the audacity to call HB a 'cock smoker' -- I'm so sorry I wasn't around to hear the guffaws that engendered!

Hey, that's two uses of the (quite lovely) word 'corollary' in consecutive posts! What a gifted group. I wonder what our average SAT scores were?

My memory of Wahabbism is a little bit sketchy, but I'll give you a history lesson on what I do remember. Wahabis, or salafis, were mostly a tribe in what is now Saudi Arabia that survived (in a large part) by attacking caravans in the desert. When the Saudi family was rising to power, they used the Wahabis as their warriors, and rewarded them with advisor positions in the government. Hence, the influence. I have a feeling you think Palestinians are wahabbis by default. In fact, Hizbollah is Shi'ite (wahabbis are Sunni), and, ostensibly, the PLO, and later, the PA is a secular organization designed to liberate Palestine. But you may not; I'm not going to assume anything. I will take issue with your absolute hatred of Palestinians. The pragmatism you claim is really nothing but the manifestation of this set of emotions - spite, hatred, etc. Of course, suicide bombing is a distasteful act, but the fact that some Palestinians strap bombs on their bodies doesn't mean that the entire nation wants to - or wants to convince their children to do. It's disgusting to see that you want to commit genocide on an entire culture; an entire set of people who, as far as I know, have not directly done you harm. There's no practicality in that, just extermination; the lowest valley of human existence. This view shows you to really be nothing more than a waste of human life. I really have no patience for this kind of talk, no matter if its coming from Pol Pot, Hussein, or some guy from Mississippi.

Ok, now allow me to seemingly reverse my position from my previous post.
I think everyone here has something interesting to say more than occasionally. I think its funny though how some people argue. If I pitch a case for something that I have said and the evidence or sources are rejected, the argument is over. That doesnt mean that anyone's opinion has changed but that the arguing about it is over. I'd rather have a good time goofing around than trying to prove a point to someone that will have absolutely no impact on me in the future. Some people approach this in the opposite way that I do and will defend an idea till the end. They'll go back and forth and back and forth when it's fairly obvious that no progress is being made. That's fine, but I am not going to get in the middle of all that. Believe what you want, I'm not looking to convert the world to slang. I do cringe when I see people post insulting comments though. Probably as much as many people cringe when they see some of the stupid crap I post. Anyway, my solution to the hostility is humor. If I happen to make sport of someone I understand that they may be bitter and fire something back. That's understood. Just try to make the retort funny and even I will laugh, sometimes people get too uptight.

However, I will object to one point - the Israelis haven't exactly been outgunned for a long time. They have the second most modern military in the world, and the first one sure isn't a Muslim nation.

The American College Test is similar to the SAT; the main differences being that you are not penalized for wrong answers on the ACT, and the scoring system is a bit different (1600 is tops on the SAT, 36 on the ACT). Almost every midwestern college used to accept it for admission, though I don't know how it is now. The average score used to be around 20, and you could start winning scholarships with a 25 for the most part. I got a 30, which got me $2000 a year in scholarship money from the state of Missouri...whoohoo! And I'm sure the state would be proud of what I've done since getting that money and graduating. |

I took the PSAT...if translated to a SAT score, the range would have been 920-1000. Ugh. |
