Pope pisses off Muslims

You have balls if you are trying to blame anybody else for Dems associating themselves with the extreme left.

Carter and Glover have been idiotas. But nobody seems to want to criticize them in public by their own party.

Big mistake.

ah maybe my error of interpretation, sam123 referenced carter in his next paragraph
 
no i'm def not taking that on. :) i just wanted to point out that neoconservative policies are accelerating the future need for social programs, but increasingly looks like i misread the intent of the post
 
Oh good God, Nikky-poo. What on earth are you on about?



Quote from traderNik:

You've apparently masturbated to those images quite a few times, huh? It's okay... since you spend so much time propounding your hate philosophy on an anonymous message board,

Earth to Nicholas...what images? If you've found some 'images', wouldn't it be you has the free time? And what 'hate philosophy' do I propound? Can you explain it to me? I know nothing of it. All I've ever advocated is looking facts squarely in the eye. If that's hateful, then liberalism has sunk to a new anti-reality low. (A low market can always go lower, I should recall.)

It was so interesting for me to find out that you're still a teenager.

News to you. Hell, I'm gobsmacked. It's news to me! Very welcome news, too.

But really, you should be out bird-dogging chicks instead of searching out Holocaust images and hanging around doing the talky-talk with old farts like Pabst :)

Well, now that I know I'm a teen again, you can bet that's what I'll be doing.

ps - about those images. My point had nothing whatever to do with any 'images'. What a complete and utter joke you are. God it's amusing.
 
Quote from Sam123:

Operation Ajax was a success. You canÃÕ pin the screw-ups in the 70ÃÔ on that operation. What directly led to the revolution was a weak regime, a dying Shaw, and an American president too impotent to do anything about it. But the Shaw managed to run the joint for 25+ years after Operation Ajax and before the Revolution. Yes, the Shaw was viewed as a Westernized transplant and when IranÃÔ economy was doing well in the late 70ÃÔ, people latched onto their ethnic/national/Islamic pride, and gravitated toward an Islamist populist.
sir, i don't want to paraphrase dogballoon but the situation is not quite what u suggest... there are many sources of course but if you can make the time this recently published and very actual book by Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Peace Prize 2003, will provide you with much better insights:
http://www.amazon.com/Iran-Awakening-Memoir-Revolution-Hope/dp/1400064708

otherwise here's a short 'informative enough' interview fyi:
http://news.newamericamedia.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=8ad8e36442c10ef7fc33f0c8e70c08d8

of course, she's only one voice, but fairly representative imo, even if she doesn't make as much noise as an enraged islamist crowd....

<b>Are you sure you really want to know?

Percentage of people expressing "a lot of confidence" or "some confidence" in bin Laden:

In the Palestinian territories: 71%
Morocco: 49%
Indonesia:58%
Saudi Arabia: 'Almost half'</b>

EDIT: More recent data, from last year (Includes the 2003 data, <i>in italics</i>, for comparison purposes):

Regarding the above Pew survey data:
Muslim Arabs compose the bulk of the world's terrorists, yet Pew
purposely picked the most Liberal & moderate of Muslim countries- and only one (Jordan) has an overwhelming Muslim Arab majority. The survey results from Lebanon are worthless, as the Lebanese population is divided about 70/30 between Muslims and Christians- and these groups live mostly segregated from each other. From the poll results, I think you can guess in which area of Lebanon this poll was conducted.

No survey results from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen or Syria- The places where the most Muslim Arabs (and Islamic terrorism supporters) can be found.

<b>Only 18% of Jordanians surveyed had absolutely no confidence in Al-Qaida. Both the Democrats & Republicans WISH they had as much support from the American people, as Bin Laden's terrorism has support from the Jordanian people!</b>
scary... that goes a long way to show how these guys feel about western powers' tactics, past & new http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonialism#Decolonization

if one includes iran and a few other M.E. / N.A. countries, perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to overthrow their secular democratically-elected leaders over the last 60 years mewonders :confused:
