Don't forget to include king bushie in the list.

By the way, a local Parish (county) 100% of whose housing stock was damaged by Katrina, wanted to hire heckuvajob brownie to help them with hurricane recovery work!!!!!! No kidding...

However, when the news got out, the public outcry forced the parish administrators to abandon that great idea.

So tell me how the housing stock has gone up with the more informed in charge.

Q: "This isn't happening yet and therefore here is a pop-quiz for you - doing exactly the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of what mental disorder?"

A: The mental disease known as the Israeli wars with the Arabs...

That should certainly be the working assumption until people responsible for the screwup come up with an extremely solid and detailed explanation and analysis on what went wrong the last time and how they intend to improve it and make it work in the future.

This isn't happening yet and therefore here is a pop-quiz for you - doing exactly the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of what mental disorder?

The correct answer is right above your post but I just want to point out that the wars you're talking about were started by arabs and their result was indeed the same - israel came out victorious and stronger than before, with more land, better military and stronger economy. If your point was that the arab world is suffering from this mental disorder I agree.

Hi Z

I was just wondering; you spend a lot of time here bashing Israel. Are you an Arab? If not, are you or were you ever a practicing Muslim?

If you were previously a practicing Muslim, but underwent a conversion, can you tell us why you converted?

Thanks, Nik

In most interpretations of Shariah, conversion by Muslims to other religions is forbidden and is termed apostasy. Muslim theology equates apostasy to treason, and in most interpretations of shariah, the penalty for apostasy is death.

Those bad cruel israelis, those innocent, peace-loving, tolerant and open-minded muslims.

At some point the Palestinians just have to say enough, whatever. We're getting on with our lives and if it means living with the fact that Israel has land we think is rightfully ours, that's just one of life's bitter realities. Is it better to live your lives fighting ancient grievances or to move on?

I think the vast majority of Palestinians would have already done this.

It would be nice and really wonderful if it were so, but it doesn't appear to be so.
If it were, why wasn't Arafat dumped after he rejected a damn good deal with no counteroffer? Why the intifadah again?

The majority voted for Hamas.

Many of the Arabs who feel like in the quotation either live in Israel now or (especially Christian) have emigrated out of the "crazy zone". Some of the suicide bombers a few years ago intentionally targeted restauraunts & cafes where Arabs and Jews mingled freely without alot of problem and killed both. They assassinated some Jews in a known liberal kibbutz which actively tried to make peace and comity; Arab neighbors came to comfort the family.

And of course there are radical Zionists who want to conquer more and more but fortunately they don't seem to have the power and majority in Israel, especially after assassination of Rabin.

There isn't that much difference with Pakistan---also a state newly created 1948---but descendants all the Hindus displaced aren't demanding the elimination of Pakistan and retreiving all the land they lost then, with no place for Muslims. Suppose India versus Pakistan looked like that? How would you have a peace agreement?

That's very interesting... because I've read on here that Z is a Muslim who converted to Christianity. Along with being a recovering drug addict who regularly berates other members for their drug use, and who claims his own right to post whenever he wants while at the same time telling others that they are not free to respond to his posts.

btw... if what you say is true, it's unfortunately no surprise to me that murder is the prescription for those who are so badly deluded that they are starting to value freedom of expression.
