Wish we had sum of their kind!

It's a shame to see you drinking so early on a Sunday, or have you been bonging again?

I yam what I yam...Popeye

with such a broad brush. I wish you could meet many of the Arabs I've worked with. They fly our fighters, our AWACs, tankers. They are Air Traffic Controllers. They feed many of our soldiers. Your words don't serve many of them well.

there are always those who don't fit the stereotype. I have worked with both students, and parents, in the past that are not as I have described in my previous post. I should have noted that and apologize if I've offended anyone. Why, do you suppose that some Arabs have modernized (for lack of a better term) and some remain archaic? Not to keep referring to a book of fiction, but the characters in The Haj that I just KNEW were going to break free, didn't. Their religion and strange codes of conduct prevented them from doing so.

I've read several books on the transition of the Muslim world from the leaders of ancient times to the situation that part of the world is in now. I have to beleve that religious beliefs that stifle free expression and thought have rendered the ideas of many great minds born female invisible and, unfortunately, irrelavant. I, personally, cannot understand why a culture would keep the beauty of their women covered so. I don't understand why men would have thier mothers, wives, and daughters eat in rooms separate to men. I cannot understand why females are second class citizens in some muslim countries and cultures. I have to believe that the stifling of these great minds has lead to the lack of... umm.... complete modernization of many of these countries. We have to respect their religious freedom, which makes our ability to effect modernization, I believe, limited. God Bless, and thanks for the posts,

"In countries where Islam is practiced, they're called honor killings, but dowry deaths and so-called crimes of passion have a similar dynamic in that the women are killed by male family members and the crimes are perceived as excusable or understandable," said Widney Brown, advocacy director for Human Rights Watch.

and it's tragic. Women can seem so powerless without the protection of a cultural, government, or social entity.

Look at the attacks we have endured while in Iraq from the left and the anti-war activists.

The press and the left have propagandized this conflict to the point that it will take a MAJOR attack on American soil to remind the Americans (who think that the tragic loss of 4,000 troops in five years of war on this heinous enemy is a 'bloodbath') that we are fighting an enemy that wants to kill MILLIONS of us.

We will not regain the strength and will to fight and persevere unless and until Americans truly have to sacrifice at home after a calamity of biblical proportions. I fear we have become a nation of 'Chamberlains', all criticism and complaints, no guts, no common sense and no real understanding of radical Islam's history, growth or motivation.

People are going to have to learn 'the hard way' that we are not going to be able to run, hide, and make nice.

I guess we could ask the liberal journalist Daniel Pearl - but he lost his head over it - yes - they are dead serious about killing us.

My feeling is that the major press and the political left have defeated America from within by aiding and abetting the enemy in the direction, promotion, and editing of propaganda for the purpose of making Bush, capitalism and America look bad. The President and America's loss is the democrats win. If America and Bush succeed in Iraq, the democrats lose. Ironic isn't it?

By the way, what did you do today that reminded you we are at war? How did you sacrifice? What hardships have we (the masses) endured at home because of this conflict? Remember September, October and November 2001? Do you see the flags and the will and the unity that we had then? Why not? Where has it gone?

I spent some time blogging with you and few others and waiting for IDRIVERSOFAST to chime in. I also chopped down a Bradford pear tree. If we are serious about prosecuting this war than we need to put this country on war time footing just like WWII and kick ass. That decision comes from the top.

"Ass" as in donkeys who are reluctant and must, therefore, be kicked. That pear tree never saw it comming; and it never stood a chance!

Cheers,

I suspect you know which usage I'm referring to. I hate those trees!!! I wish I never planted them.

The kicker is, they stink like bad fish. How can something so pretty be such a pain in the rear? If you do tolerate them long enough, they split.

I recommend a nice red-leafed maple.

I was a naive fool, no strike that, an idiot from Southern California that didn't know any better. Perhaps we can import the whole ^%$#*^@ lot to Iran as some sort of a secret weapon!!!
