Wow, it looks like Connecticut's public schools are graduating too many illiterates, and their hospitals permitting too many brain-damaged children to live. What has happenhed to our fair state? Are all the families there wealthy enough to send their children to private schools, and the rest fall victim to an educational system that has forgotten them -- i.e., the very rich and the very poor receiving what they have paid for?

More propaganda on behalf of outlaw, nuclear- armed Israel. Increasingly, the "holocaust" is being exposed as a pastiche of fairy tales and urban legends: (lampshades, soap,etc). Millions of Christians, Poles, homosexuals , Jews, etc were killed in WWII. There should be no "special" victims. The Communists killed more than 15 million Christians. We fought on the wrong side of the war; and saw ten Christian nations enslaved by communism for fifty years. And one of the other horrific results is the birth of Frankenstein Israel.

Jordan did not attack Israel in 1967. Israel staged a long-planned sneak attack on the Arabs. Don't lie.

[last pgh of article]

In an article entitled "Has Iran Won?" the Economist magazine put it this way: "Who would have thought that a friendless theocracy with a Holocaust-denying president, which hangs teenagers in public and stones women to death, could run diplomatic circles around America and its European allies?"

Great question: One answer - by attacking Israel and ruminating about past alleged Western injustices toward the Muslim world, rather than adamantly refusing to focus on all the layers of dysfunction and even barbarism (exhibit A: Muslim on Muslim suicide bombings in Iraq, Afghanistan, and above all, in Pakistan) in the Muslim Middle East.

Since we refuse to consider, and then answer, the question of whether all the dysfunction in the Muslim world, especially in the Middle East, is merely a deformation of the 'true' Islam, or whether instead there is something fundamentally flawed at the core of Islam (such as the complete failure to answer sanely the question of Means vs Ends), it makes perfect sense that

Iran should run rings around us.

How ironic that this terrific question should appear in the Economist, which seems to spend about 80% of its Middle East commentary berating Israel for not making fatal piecemeal surrenders, rather than, say, asking the simple question of what to do if, because of Arab rejectionism, there is never going to a Palestinian State?

It is time to stop separating the 'people' from the 'regime'.

When Japan attacked the US, it didn't stop to consider that some Americans didn't support their regime. When Jordan attacked Israel in 1967, they didn't consider that some Hassidic Jews don't support the state. SWhen Britain bombed Dresden, they were.t concerned about innocent civilians.

And the same holds true today. Iran must not get the bomb. If they must be bombed to stop them, then so be it. The west cannot be deterred because some anti-regime Iranians will die. It is their country and their government. They allow it to function and are complicit in its actions.

I have always felt that one of our biggest problems with the majority of the Middle Eastern countries is their way of thinking. Even though most of them have modern conveniences similar to other parts of the world, & pretty much the same war toys, 99% of their ingrained ideas are hundreds of years behind the rest of us. Take for example Afghanistan. According to a friend's son , who has been over there more than once in recent years, he says that the people who he dealt still don't use toilet paper. I didn't write that to be disgusting, or to offend anyone, but to help make my point. How many hundreds of years has it been since the majority of the rest of the world didn't use toilet paper. That is why most of our ideas & ways of doing things are so off the wall to them. For the most part they can not even fathom modern ideas. It scares the hell out of them. Very similar to a lot of our first contacts with the Native Americans. For the most part they do not even comprehend kindness or civility. They will look at things like that as a form of weakness on our part & hate us even more for it.Just like the Native Americans did for quite a while in the beginning of America. I hate to say it but I believe that the best way to win the advantage with any of them is to start thinking on a similar level to theirs' & do to them the same as they would do to us. Then we might be able to put some fear into them. I believe that will be the only way that we will ever gain any of their respect. And of course that is not written in stone.

If we wait for our so called President & his pet Congress to do the right thing, where most things are concerned as well as the Middle East, then I'm afraid we will have lost big time!!
