I’d like to say “Well, we should clean it up,” but we have our hands full.  Maybe it’s time that Israel stopped kowtowing to world pressure and just took care of it...mobilize the entire Israeli army, surround the area and inform the Palestinians that they can either stop fighting or die.

Since the Palestinians have been tossed out of everywhere they’ve tried to settle, can anyone really say that another country would come to their defense?

The more we hear, the more it looks like there simply is no solution.  On the other hand, talks seem to be on, so there’s still hope.

OK, I fully and completely support Israel’s right to exist, and further more to defend itself against attacks.  This is not even an issue.  I also think that if there is a large group of people who want to secede from whatever government currently controls them, they can in fact make the attempt.  This means that yes, I would have supported the South’s *right* to secede, even if I disagreed with the reasons.

The Palestinian people have clearly made this effort, and Israel, unlike the North in this country, has been unable to stop them.

LET THEM GO.  What was it that Moses said to the Pharaoh?  “Let my people go.” Granted, the Palestinians are not my people, but the idea that Israel is so ridiculously unmovable is not going to help anything.  In fairness, the Palestinians are equally as unmoving.  Both sides are after more than land: they want the wholesale destruction of the other side, and I don;t think that is fair to anyone...so once again I am left with this dea that maybe we ought to step in with the might and power we truly posses and call this one a draw.  Divvy the place up like East and West Berlin, build a no-man’s-land complete with a brand new wall to wail at, and call the whole thing a day.

Israel, and I speak to you now as if you were one person, and also reading my blog, you are supposed to be the reasoned one, the age-old scholarly island of democracy in a sand-sea of intolerance and tribal warfare.

To put it bluntly, and politically-incorrectly, start acting like Jews and stop acting like radical Islamic fascists.

They produced Saint Corrie, the woman allegedly “run over’ by a bulldozer. Here’s a picture of Saint Corrie previous to her accident:

I’m so glad I found this link from The Angry Clam, because I’ve been wanting to say something about it since Lee and I spoke, but I have this mental block that doesn’t allow me to post unless I have some kind of link to demonstrate I’m not insane. :)

Let’s get back to my wife for a minute. I looked at her incredulously, as though she, instead of espousing a point of view, had suggested I take my testicles and crush them with a pair of vise grips. 

I have some simple arguments that refute her stance. The new breed of terrorist, the kamikaze, as it were, cannot be reasoned with. There is no negotiating with them. They cannot be bribed or threatened or scared into submission. They are prepared for...no, a better way to say it would be that they are *lusting* for death. Their own death is the goal, death in the service of Allah, who in their minds, wants them to kill as many non-believers (read: Western civilization) as possible. 

The afterlife is their ONLY motivation. Therefore it is the ONLY tool we have to manipulate and motivate them in this life. This is simple Sun Tzu… “Success in warfare is gained by carefully accommodating ourselves to the enemy’s purpose.” The purpose of suicide terrorism is to kill whitey, in all his forms and colors. Their reward for this, they believe, is eternity with Allah, and a truckload of virgins, and whatever else the clerics of their particular brand of radical Islam have promised them. 

Now imagine that it becomes well-known that your body will be defiled and desecrated should you perform an act of terrorism. These men believe in their religion so strongly they are willing to fly an airplane into an office tower simply because WE DON’T THINK LIKE THEM. That kind of faith is both legendary and unstoppable…

Unless you remove the carrot from the end of the stick. 

By wrapping them in unclean pigskin, you prevent them from entering heaven. Does it matter if it’s true or not? No. They believe it, and that’s all that matters. 

It would be one thing if these religious zealots would meet on the field of battle. I believe there is still honor in fighting, even with the disparity in forces. There is no honor in flying a jumbo jet into an office building. Anyway, my point is that if they were to fight a real war, and die on the field of battle, I would almost *demand* that the dead be treated with respect, and either buried accordingly or sent to the families for disposal how they see fit. 

But terrorists? Those people last week, they went to a play. And they ended up hostages, held by fanatics who clearly intend to die spectacularly. 

Fuck ‘em. Fuck them, fuck their afterlife, fuck their families, fuck everyone they’ve ever known, fuck their country, fuck their religious leaders, fuck ‘em all. I say fatten up some pigs and let’s get this plan in action in the U.S. Imagine how hard it will be to find volunteers for suicide terrorism once this goes into widespread practice? 


“Muhacchhhhhaleem, Allah has blessed you with the opportunity to drive this truck into the American Embassy in FuckStickistan.”

“Uhh...will I be instantly disintegrated into pieces so small that I cannot be recovered, and thereby entering the reward of Allah, with the virgins and milk and honey and all that jazz?”

“Well...no. They’ll probably get most of your body and wrap it in pig’s guts, skin and whatnot, rendering you unclean and unfit to be in Allah’s presence in the afterlife. But you get to die a hero to your people!”

“Yeah, umm...I’m gonna pass on that one, but thanks anyway! Maybe you want to talk to my brother-in-law, he hasn’t worked since this was a Soviet Bloc country.”

Once again, in case I wasn’t clear, I am in favor of this alleged plan by the Russian government. And finally, I love my wife, but she’s clearly insane, and I may have to report her to the Committee on Unamerican Activities. :)
