Bushbred the US has no empire, http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/GJ04Aa01.html

consequently you completely, and I mean completely misread the situation in the middle east.

"Running the Middle East like the Roman Empire" what nonsense is that? The US sponsored elections in Palestine and the people foolishly elected Hamas, a terrorist group that wants Israel destroyed, in direct opposition to US interests (strange behaviour for a militaristic empire builder). The President of Iraq is publicly criticising Israel over Lebanon going directly against US policy. Can't you see the US just wants to get on with its pre occupation with itself and be left in peace. Bush was quite happy to go isolationist until they thousands were murdered and New York attacked.

The fact is the US is free and that is a problem for the Islamists who want to see a pan Islamic state instituted. The US is economically and politically powerful and that sticks in the craw of those who want that for themselves.

Stop parroting silly left wing propaganda.

Mr Shubert. I disagree with your conclusions re: Germany being sinned against after WW1. The Prussian military caste whose raison detre was military conquest started the war, invaded France and Belgium and destroyed 25% of French Industry in the process. None of the fighting took place on German soil consequently German civilians were spared while French were not. French combatants killed or maimed were horrendous.

The Allies had every right to seek compensation and it was not onerous, given the costs of the war to especially the French.

It was the German victim mentality and history of anti semitism that was exploited by Hitler for ruinous ends and it the same weaknesses that muslim religious leaders will continue to exploit for power political reasons, until the muslims grow up and join modernity. Something it took the West centuries to do.

The Muslims were very civilized when the European Christians were in the Dark Ages. The Muslims don't have far to go to get back to a reasonable level.

Problem is that fanatics have taken power and there is unfortunately in the world at present no Muslim country which is functioning nearly as well as the democratic nations such as Japan India Taiwan Singapore Australia USA Germany France etc.

Many of them would have to be considered totally disfunctional such as Iraq and Aghanistan (both before and after the US attacks) Lebanon Iran etc. Pakistan is doing poorly compared with its cousin India.

I do not know the solution but it must involve an acceptance by true Muslims that the problem is within the Muslim world itself.

Well said Martin.

I couldn't read past the fourth or fifth paragraph because of the amount garbage in it. Really, could Nazi Isreal really take their hand off it and gain some common morals? No? I didn't think so.

The destruction of Lebanon is nothing but the work of a nation craving for the taste of blood on their tongues. Israel is one nation that I stopped lending my support some years ago. You lot think that while Nazi Germany should be pushed on to us while you lot go around doing the same thing.

Hmm, poisoning crops to kill native desert people, forcing Muslims to have a lower level of living than Jews, etc. Oh, shooting teenage girls in the back.

I can't even consider shaking a hand of Jew now. All I see is disease and think...You know, Hitler just may have been right about Jews in the first place.

Hard to hear, isn't it...but you lot since your existence love to put people into financial blackmail and I won't pay any respect until you lot start behaving like real people.

This the civilised and totally blameless city of Kfar Kana, and shows Hizbollah rocket launching techniques. Please be patient, this takes some time to load:

Of course, Hizbollah would not do such a thing!

To paraphrase an IAF General:

'Sometimes if you sleep with rockets, you don't wake up in the morning'

You are also an Israeli propagandist. You keep repeating the lie. Won't work here though. Haven't you noticed nobody is discussing anything with you anymore.

We've all switched off and prefer to make up our own minds without the rabid propaganda from the murderous and land grabbing Israelis.

Another old adage is appropriate.

'As you sow, so shall you reap.'

Israel didn't learn from their last escapade into Lebanon. Maybe they might this time. But I doubt it ... they are just too thick.

And another, which all the West will eventually apply,

'If you lie with dogs you get up with fleas.'
