The Whabbis, Alawites, Saudis, Hashemites, Sunnis, Shiites, Iranians, Hezbollah, PLO, and Muslim Brotherhood are all Muslims who all hate the West. Rather fortunately for the west, they also all hate each other and they are at presently either killing each other off or helping each other to kill each other off. And we want to get involved and help the people who hate us to win against another group of people who hate us? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense

Even more strangely, the US President Obama who railed against George Bush for going to war against Iraq because the tyrant running Iraq used poison gas on Muslim civilians who hate us, is now saying that the US should get involved in a war against Syria because the tyrant who runs Syria used poison gas on Muslim civilians who hate us.

Cuckoo. Cuckoo.

So the nation which has killed millions more people than any other nation since WW2 is again beating its chest and getting ready to kill millions more.

When are the people of the world going to wake up to the Americans? Never it seems.

They just continue with their imperialism, while they hide and deceive behind slogans like 'Bringing Democracy' and 'Freeing the Downtrodden' and 'Protecting Human Rights', etc.

Look at the mess they've made in Iraq and Afghanistan and now they want to have another go!

America must be stopped before it all ends in a nuclear holocaust!

Interestingly, during the Iraq/Iran conflict when they were allied with Saddam, they turned a blind eye to Iraq's use of chemical weapons against Iranians.

Intervention in Syria would seem to be a potential folly, given the failures by the US and its allies in similar Middle-Eastern incursions in recent times.

That's right, David G.

Only this time it is a left wing US President who got in on the ethnic minorities vote, and who preached peace, love and mung beans, who now says that the US should go to war. And it is the left wingers like yourself who are demanding that the US should go to war and the right wingers like myself (hi Spindoc) who are saying that we would be absolutely stupid to side with any of these people.

Even in Australia, there are people like yourself who have no gratitude to the yanks for saving our asses in WW2, so why would the USA want to save the Arabs from killing themselves off when so many Arabs hate them anyway? And so many people like yourself have no appreciation for the US being the world's policeman?

I don't know what virtues the Islamic faith teaches its adherents, but gratitude does not appear to be the most prominent. Although, that self evidently applies to tertiary educated elites like yourself also.

Better to just let our enemies kill each other off and may the worse side win. You have to understand, David G, that us right wingers want the Arabs to stay Muslim and keep stuffing everything up. The Asians are too effective competitors and we don't want the Arabs thinking straight and becoming effective competitors too.
