You're right, Saul! It's time that socialist countries such as France and Germany stop their support for terrorist groups and their financiers (i.e. Syria and Iran).

However, it's time for a regime change in Iran, so that the Iranians can sleep in peace at night.

Frank Collins is a devious hindu bastard.

It puzzles me that a country holding thousands of nuclear warheads at the ready to strike anywhere on earth can appear to be so very frightened that another country might build its first one sans any means to deliver it.

Would you enjoy life knowing that your neighbor has the right to invade your home and kill you so long as your neighbor presents fear that you have a weapon and might use it.

Bush Doctrine: if you fear what someone might do, it is okay to invade and kill to prevent them from doing what you fear they might do.

Since fear exists in the absence of knowledge, no proof is required.

RAT-The:
First, you must get yourself out of that cesspool you have got yourself into till your eyeballs and then may be you can borrow some common sense from others and abandon these rubbish where they belong.

Bill :
Quoting "The real issue with Iran is that its leaders have shown the temerity to control their own resources, which the corporate globalists and Washington plutocrats claim as their own." end of quote.
And needless to mention, Washington has no tolerance for independence or disobedience too,.

Frank,

Your argument doesn't resonate with Americans or Canadians. Iranians are part of our population and culture, we get along with them, and they don't push for Israel's destruction. They are good people, period. You're not persuading anyone here, so why do you bother?

Saul Singer sounds like another Neo-con who promotes attacking Iran.
PostGlobal should bring intelligent perspectives on these pages rather than stale official Israeli propaganda.

Pat.

Christianity isn't nearly as virtuous as you think.
You should check out the brilliant post above,at June 18. 3.05pm. by "Garak". Christianity's past is
brutal.
It's much gentler since the Enlightenment.
Virtues like justice and compassion and truth were not invented by any religion,and existed long before Christianity.
There were always people who were kind and honest,and others who were quite the opposite.
Don't give religion credit for virtuous behavior.
Christians are people who behave well because they're scared of going to Hell,and wanna get enough brownie points to enter the big golfcourse in the sky. They're nice because they're hypnotized into believing its the only way to avoid death.When they are nice,that is.

PS - google Ron Paul 2008

So, the Jewish neo conservatives have once again raised misplaced historical analogies to justify pre-emptive war. (remember the comparison of Saddam to Hitler)

As a constitutional republic, pre-emptive war should not be a part of our foreign policy and, in fact, this tactic places us in the category that you would like to classify Iran - as a belligerent and empire seeking state.

The European and Middle Eastern states can handle this problem, as it is in their interest to do so; our republic cannot afford another imperialistic and unprovoked war and occupation.

All chroinc problems in the Middle East being in Lebanon, Afganistan, Iraq or Palestine are generated by one malicious power house named Israel. The unlimited support of the US to Israel from 1948 till now ,and the illegal creation of Israel on the ruins of Palestine, has led to unmatched state of disappointment and despair in the Middle East, which in turn has led to the creation of terrorist groups who are ready to sacrifice their own bodies in a holy war agianst Israel and US interests, not only in the Middle East but all over the world.
What do we expect from a palestinian refugee who has been deprived of all his belongings and thrown out of his country to live in a refugee camp for more than 60 years now.
The war in Iraq is nothing but an Israeli war unfortunately fought with US blood and US taxpayer's money.It is time for the US admin to wake up to the real cause of all problems in the area and to change its foreign policy categorically.

Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons would be an historical event equivalent to the Russian revolution of October 1917 and Hitler's rise to power in January 1933.

During the cold war, Soviet leaders attempted to expand their sphere of influence, by bluff or threat, through the production of nuclear weapons and delivery systems and their maintenance at operational readiness. The Iranian clerics ruling Iran, too, wish to expand their territorial domain and religious influence. Just this past week, a non-nuclear Iran made territorial demands upon Sunni Bahrain by declaring it to be an Iranian province. These territorial demands echo territorial demands made by others, in the past, to the Sudetenland and to the Baltic states.

Presently, Europeans are nervous about being within range of Iranian missiles loaded with non-nuclear weapons. Their nerves would increase as would their susceptibility to acquiesce to Iranian threats if those missiles were nuclear tipped. Therefore, Mr. Singer is correct that Iran's neighbors, particularly Iraq, would have graver concerns about future governance of their lands if Iran were to possess nuclear weapons.

Finally, Mr. Singer states that a trade embargo might be able to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Such an effort is worth a try as an alternative to a U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear-arms-production facilities. If the embargo were to fail, then it is a reasonable assumption that such an attack would have at least the covert approval of the European states, Sunni states, India, Russia, and Japan despite the bloody outfall of Iranian counterattacks against our people and interests throughout the world.

For Iran to obtain nuclear weapons would be an historical event equivalent to the Russian revolution of October 1917 and Hitler's rise to power in 1932.

During the cold war, Soviet leaders sought to expand their country's sphere of influence, by bluff and threat, in large part by manufacturing nuclear arms and delivery systems and maintaining them at a state of readiness.

The clerics who run Iran similarly want to spread their territory plus spread their religious message, and they do so with the threat of violence. Just witness the demand this past week where a non-nuclear Iran claimed Bahrain as a province. These demands echo territorial demands of others, in the past, to the Sudetenland and to the Baltic states.

If Europeans are now nervous about their cities being within range of Iranian missiles, their nerves and compliance to Iranian threats will increase when those missiles carry nuclear weapons. Therefore, if distant Europeans are nervous about a nuclear-armed Iran, then I believe that Mr. Singer correctly pointed out that Iran's neighbors, particularly Iraq, have a graver cause for concern as to the future governance of their countries.

In conclusion, Mr. Singer merely pointed out that the least dangerous path to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is to impose a trade embargo. His approach is worth a try and beats the alternative of a U.S. attack on the nuclear-weapons-production facilities to deprive Iran of nuclear weapons. I think that it is a reasonable assumption that if such an attack were to occur, then it would have the covert approval or acquiesence of the European countries, Sunni states, India, Japan, and Russia.

This is another peice of Zionist garbage. Saul Singer is trying to scare the public against Iran. He has presented no evidence that Iran is a terrorists state. Just because Hezbollah defeated Israel in July 2007 does not mean Israel or US can label any group as extremsits. To the majority of people on earth, they are resistence fighters against Israeli occupation of their land. Nasrallah is a world hero who smashed the mighty Israeli military. Israel is crying like a baby only after being defeated by Hezbollah. Iran Srria and Lebanon are now allies and this spells doom for Israel. Israel better change poliicy and make friends with Iran fast or next war will be fatal for Israel. Experts forcast the end of Israel in its next confrontration with Hezbollah or Iran.

hello
just tell me who asked american allies to attack on iraq and brought iraq in this situation.the thesis you present is biased and full of anti islamic feeling.tell me who made iraq a battle ground for jihadi and provided a chance to iran to be a nuclear power?.The west has done the work of promoting jihad in the islamic world and blaim this one on islam and muslim.your targeting point towards iran is that now israeli know well that in the way of greater israel the only hurdle is iran and in case of nuclear iran israeli cannot persue the plan.so,let put the israeli intention in the name of world peace and terrorism so you can faciliate the way for invasion on iran.The world is not so fool as the west trying to fool the world.

and again islam lost the debate.
never answer a single question.
never deny that book of death - the koran.
never deny they are a cult of death.
never deny that they are allowed to lie.
never deny that they teach their children to hate and murder.
its time to kill them all.

who cares about frank....keep your eye on the rabid Israeli war monger who wrote this piece.

Ron Paul 2008!

tarik:
i have no knowledge about how india created the cast system, why should i?
as far as the killing of my native people keep this in mind - we did not go easy. my people were warriors and we still have lands. we are part of 2 great nations - the indian nations and america. we are better off now than before. and it took america 4 years to take on the greatest force known to man at that time - the nazi war machine.
it took 400 years to beat us indians. we were not slaughtered children we were and are warriors and the fight was long and bloody and we did one heck of a job too. but we do not sit around and cry about it. we have our share of medal of honor recipients too.
i never claimed to follow jesus or even be christian. i have never claimed to be any religion.
islam says that it is a crime punishable by death to say a man born of woman is the son of god - so you condemn every christian in the world to death. and it was your god[?] that called the trinity the father son and mary, when everyone knows it was the father son and holy spirit. now how did your all knowing god screw that one up. its not like it was a secret. your god is pretty damn dumb to screw that one up.
islam is a religion of death and exclusion. it demands death and hate for anyone not islamic. do you want me to quote the vile and evil that is written in the koran all over again? its already here - i posted it before.
and i also posted how islam allows you to lie. the only religion to tell its followers to lie.
here is a question that you will never answer - if islam claims to have the same god as the jews and christians, why did that god islamics to butcher the only two groups of people on the face of the earth that believe in him? let me guess - you wanted to steal their land and money. that sounds like greed to me.
islam - its a terrorist organization - nothing more.

Frank Collins:
If you are "a feather Indian and not a dot Indian",
either way tell me how you justify creating half a billion people as "untouchables" in Hindu India and how do Christians justify the killings of the 6 million native American Red Indian-"the savages".
Would Jesus approve that, if you claim to he his follower.
As far a the trinity is concerned. Islam accepts the Virgin birth of Jesus.
Islam accepts Mary as revered and blessed and above all womenkind.
In Islam there is no partner of God.

Islam is a religion of Universal Brotherhood and equality.
This is why it is attractive to people of different nationalities.
Also Islam does not accept a priestly class.
There is no caste system.

You have to keep on reading like you are doing.
Soon you will understand why Mohammad is the most successful and the most influential man in the history of Mankind.
If you dispute this give me a few examples of who you think it greater.

There are only two men I know who came on the world stage from outside known centers of power.
Mohammad is one and the other is Ghengis Khan.
See Bill Gates is Bill Gates but don't forget he is so because he was born in American.
Now go on I have given you something to think about.

the pretend moho - does he rape 9 year olds too:

when you cant answer a question and you cant use facts to defend the death cult of islam, when you cant even lie well enouhg to get around those with the real facts - islamics always resort to insults.
when an islamic insults you - IT MEANS YOU JUST WON AND THEY LOST!

Frank,

The psychiatrists have stil not got you interned?
Or did they intern you and then release you while I was away?

I read an opinion piece on AsiaTimesOnline by Japanese-American poet and writer David Mura yesterday in which he convincingly arguers that America every so often needs to fabricate an enemy with a distinct non-WASP ethnicity, preferably of a 'darker hue', in order to focus its population. During WW II, it had to be Japanese-Americans, now it has to be Muslim/Arabs.

Unfortunately for Saul Singer and for me (because I have found myself in agreement with views he has expressed in other opinion columns), that description fits his and Israeli schitzophrenia even more than it fits Geroge Bush's and America's. Now chastened (by the defeat at the hands of Hizb'Allah earlier this year?) into encouraging Israel to seek some kind of accommodation with its Arab neighbours (has there ever been any other alternative to getting along with your neighbours?), Saul Singer feels compelled to fabricate an enemy out of Iran.

Has he read the latest news that Iran is ready to accommodate UNSC demands to resume nuclear inspections, and America is seeking to engage Iran again directly on bringing stabilty to Iraq?
Again, to highlight the schitzophrenic nature of this Iran-demonising strategy, the New York Times editorial of today's date ("Forced to get along") emphatically procliams that, for one full year now, not a single rocket has been launched against Israel by Hizb'Allah. But, you know what? It must be because Hizb'Allah has found out that launching rockets is not effective!!! Should they resume launching rockets, Saul, to demonstrate that they can be effective?
Pity you cannot recognise a good man when you see one, especially if that good amn jappens to be a Muslim!

notice how the islamics think that the worst thing they can call you is a jew or a hindu?
do you think mommy taught them that - FROM THE KORAN? YES SHE DID.
and we are all supposed to forget the writing of hate and murder in the koran and the history of islam murdering for 1400 years to spread islam and in conformity with the koran.
we are supposed to pretend that islamic did not murder 1.8 million christian armenians, in ww1 and that they fought on the side of the nazis in ww2, and never renounced hitler or his goals.
islam is a terrorist cult that needs to be eliminated from the face of the earth.

Saul = AIPAC stooge! Get lost!

i have made this statement before -
if you think i have made a mistake of fact, not opinion, then quote the statement made by me with a link to it and then quote the fact as you think it should be, and link to your source.
if you are correct i will change my data base of facts to reflect your correct statement of fact.
keep in mind that not all links are the same and where there is a dispute as to the existence of a fact, or the content of a fact, i retain my right to reject something that i find untrue.
and if you want to say im hindu, well thank you for the comnplement and i will accept it as one, even if its not true.
but racist? no there is no proof of that. i do not believe i have ever put one race over another.
but i admit that i have quoted things where one group puts itself ahead of all other groups.
it appears that islam has this bigot thing, where they feel that anyone not islamic or will not become islamic, is properly the subject of islamic hate and even murder. but that has been what the terrorist islamics say.
for myself, i have expoused hate of the kkk - which some people say is christian, but i deny as no christian would do what they do.
i also hate nazi's - which no reasonable person would argue with.
and then there is, within that same group - islamics, who are not a religion but a terrorist group bent on world conquest.
since 1914 they have been involved in two world wars - and both times on the side of germany.
in ww1 it was the islamic ottomans, and the islamic terks, who murdered about 2,000,000 CHRISTIAN armenians, in the mame of islam and their german allies.
and then they did it again in ww2 where they joined with the nazis again. this time they were rewarded with their own islamic ss divisions. if you look above you will see the site link.
so im not a racist, as i find no one race above the other, and all equal.
what i do hate are hate groups, even if they call themselves a religion.
i do have a question that no islamic can ever answer. if the islamic god is so smart, why did it call the trinity the father, son and mary, when the christian trinity was father, son and holy spirit? you would have thought that an all knowing god whould have gotten that one right.

Frank Collins = Racist = Indian Hindu

The only beneficiary from this ugly war is AIPAC and Israel against the national interests of this country and at the expense of the blood of our brave soldiers and the money of our taxpayers. Sometimes I wonder if we are really independent as we seem to be fully controlled from within by some malicious power centers whose only goal is to serve the interests of Israel even against the national interests of this great country.

TERIK:

i am indian, a feather indian, not a dot indian. that means new mexico and not new delhi.
and what difference would any of that mean?
islam is still a vile and evil cult of death.
islam has still beeen mudering to spread islam for the last 1400 years.
and the only reason for all the death today is the koran, the mein kampf of islam, demands that all islamics hate and murder anyone not islamic.
it is a badge of honor to be hated and insulted by islamic scum.

I'm tired of people telling me that this war is for Israel. Those stupid neocons and Likudniks have done is to pocket their money from the US treasury and gain some dubious fame as the most bloody thirsty or stupid politicians of all time.

because i post the truth.
i post historical facts.
i accurately quote the writings of islam and the hadith.
because wp allows truth, even if islam hates it.

Why does WP allow this so called frank colins
to waste space and time of decent readers who want to have a decent discussion??

No one reads his recycled lies except those who don't him. He has nothing else to say-a sign of an empty head-I challenge him to say some thing intelligent other than repeat his usual Cut & Paste lies on every thread.

Two points:
One: "Iraq Can Succeed -- Unless Iran Gets Nukes,":what stupid tiltle is this? an insult to readers' intelligence, a disconnect from reality as Iran did not travel from the end of the world to destroy and occupy Iraq,nor is Iran occupying any one's land as Israel has been occupying all of Arab historic Palestine for sixty years,in addition to Syrian and Lebanese lands.
No party has supported so zealously the war on Iraq more than Isreal/AIPAC,remember lover boy Wolfwitz and Co. And it is American blood and treasure that is wasted while AIPAC/Israel enjoys the show.

The real problem is Israel's nuclear arsenal which is scaring Iran and the whole region to seek nuclear weapons to protect themselves from Israeli aggression.

Two:Jerusalem is not in Israel,Jerusalem is an occupied palestinian territory as is all of Palestine.
If not reigned in and disarmed,and the sooner the better,Israel will start a nuclear war in the region-Mrak my words.

The irony is that the ordinary people's outrage is be labeled as "anti-semetic" while ranting and ravings of a racist warmonger like Saul Singer is looked upon as wisdom. No matter where you look, all views, all people are suppressed and disparaged while those willing to give a free pass to Israel's evil atrocity are encouraged. The media is stacked with "analyst" willing to praise Israel and ridicule Islam or any Islamic issue.

Hence you wonder how we will ever see justice and peace ? If US on behalf of Israel is going to define progress in Iraq and not Iraqi people then how will there be any progress ? Remember the same people who are now providing us with progress reports are the people who told us about WMD and that we will be greeted as heroes in the Iraqi streets.

It is a pity that we (US) blew away its budget surplus and the value of our dollar for Israel. We have sacrificed out country and our national interest to a point that today we are just an occupied colony of Israel. I say let us bring democracy back to US, let us topple AIPAC. We need some progress report on that. How long are we willing to sacrifice US for the sake of Israel ?

The only group that benefits from attacking Iran is the NeoCons. They need Iran as the boogie man in order to keep Iraq, to keep the permanent installations they have used U.S. tax dollars to build, to keep their lassiez faire hands on the oil laws trying to be passed at this moment. If the Democrats force the end of America's participation in this war -- the NeoCons lose their scheme. Sure, Iraq returns to the glory days of the early 80's with Shia and Sunni at each other's neck -- but that is why these NeoCon thugs and the Bush admin are war criminals -- they new this would happen but they yelled fire anyway.

LET'S NOT FOOL OURSELVES AND TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE REAL CAUSE OF ALL THIS HAVOC IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND IN THE WHOLE WORLD.IT'S THE CREATION OF THE ILLEGAL STATE OF ISRAEL ON THE RUINS OF PALESTINE.THIS IS THE STEM CELL THAT HAS BEEN BREEDING ALL CHAOS AND TERROR WORLDWIDE.UNLESS THIS ISSUE IS HANDLED ADEQUATELY AND ALL PALESTINIAN REFUGEES RETURN HOME,WE WILL BE FOOLING OURSELVES AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT INVISIBLE GHOSTS THAT WE CALL TERRORISTS.

There no reason to start a war on the pretext that Israel, your country, is going to be attacked by Iran, or that they would pass nuclear weapons to a terrorist group. Iranians are sophisticated people, kind, hospitable, well educated, and politically savvy. They would not commit mass suicide like some nations I know. You have no business and no viable reason to attack Iran, and neither does the United States.

It is unfortunate that Al Quaeda has given the US the opportunity to call all resistance to their occupation of Iraq as terrorism. Normally any fighters against foreign occupation would be termed patriotism: I'm sure Americans (good Americans not Quislings) would lay down their lives against foreign occupation. The USA needs to enforce a just solution to the Middle Eastern problems; one that would allow both sides honour; without such a solution the increasing hate of Israel and the West and growing economic clout of the Arabs will result in serious consequences for all involved.

Iraq is a war of proxies.

Iraq is a war of proxies.

It's like a sleep story. It's very childish and I take it as humlation of your readers. Maybe Bush can get it! (with hours of explanation from Dick)

all politicians running in 2008 are in the pocket of AIPAC - this includes Obama, Rudy, Romney, and definitely Hillary.

The only independent politician who has ruled out another preemptive war with Iran is.......

RON PAUL!

Google him and join the revolution to free America from corporate and foreign interests!!!

Iranian redneck obviously does not understand the consequences of a nuclear war.

There is no glory atop a pile of rubble.

What's makes right-wing Israelis so out of touch with American values, and oblivious of the growing disenchantment with Israel's thirst for war? This article belongs on the Jerusalem Post, not here...

Jews control finances and media in the US, therefore, americans are
brainwashed into believing that the APARTHEID STATE is the only
democracy in the middle east. Israel's ethnic cleansing of palestinians
has been going on for a long time, but if you point this fact out in
the US "free media" you become anti-semetic and jobless.
Free palestine, free USA.

FRANK COLLINS:
My friends tell me that you are low caste Hindu from South India. Are you trying to deceive us?!

SAUL SINGER:
The Jews are really stupid when it comes to Politics.
Sure the Holocaust happened but not without a reason; they never saw it coming. People like you
inspire so much hate. You are not doing your nation a service.

**Why don't you learn something from the Anglo-Saxon nations. They do things differently.
They enslaved the world and dropped A-bombs and Napalms and yet they do not inspire so much hate like you guys do.
It is not a wise thing to be so arrogant.
You cannot always cling to a Super power and enjoy a free ride and on the way make faces to others by the wayside. If the Worlds Policeman dumps you round the corner the hoodlums on the street will give you a bloody nose( And then you will start calling 911).
Remember Things change and American interest may change too.

**However one fact has remained and that is that Islam continues to be the worlds fastest growing religion.
Times of London reported that Mohammad is the 2nd commonest name for a new born in the UK, after John and may soon overtake it (this news item was also quoted on NPR in the US).
It is not politically correct to earn the hatred of the Billion Peoples Club.

I WAS PERUSING THE OPINION PAGES AND NOTICED
THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE
WRITERS WERE OF JEWISH EXTRACTION.

WHAT'S WITH THE POST... WHY DON'T THEY
HAVE MORE DIVERSITY?

IT'S GETTING VERY NEO-CONNISH, DON'T YOU THINK?

Frank is a Hindu person. You can judge Hinduism by Frank's deeds here.

Why Israeli Jews like Saul Singer always promote war, death and distraction, and then cry foul and play the victim. How can we get this monkey off our backs? I don't want one penny of my tax money to go to these demanding and ungrateful criminals.

NO WAR with IRAN!!!!

GOOGLE Ron Paul 2008!

The only viable anti-war candidate for either side!

I hope you are being ironic, Bangalee....

I think that war, billions of tax payers dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives wasted in the name of liars and true perverts of reality - such as saul singer - is much more important than abuse (which happens in ALL denominations - the jew media just likes to highlight this particular episode)

Sure, keep up the crap and try and start a war with Iran - that is all bloodthirsty losers can dream about.

Do us all a favor Saul, take a jump of a high cliff somewhere and take your warmongering fiends with you.

Can we change the subject to the church and the priests and their sodomizing ways please?

Seeing we 've gone so far off track.

After all the $$660 million would go along way to easing the pain of those who were sodomized by their aprish priest!

I am an American and can say that, by far, Israel is much more of a detriment to our foreign policy than Iran is a threat.

Screw....Joe Lieberman, Saul Singer, Wolfowitz, Perle, Bill Kristol, the Washington Post, AIPAC and the rest of these Jewish war-pimps!

RORY :

Quoting " the Iranians couldn't even defeat Saddam with their brilliant "let's sent waves of 15 year old boys without rifles to clog up their machine gun nests with their bodies" tactics " end of quote.

It is quite evident how much politically and generally, no offense intended, ignorant you are and not only that but how little you know Iranians to make such statements like that.
Iran could have occupied Iraq within number of days, a lot less than what US took to invade, if it was a war between Iraq and Iran. But it was not. It was US, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE and a host of other nations all against Iran. Intelligence, the most important tool of a war, were constantly being supplied to the Iraqis by US and therefore either erasing all the advancements Iran had made in the war or preventing it to make any advancements resulting in a deliberate attempt to prolong the war and bleed the two nations to death in which Iran lost close to a million people with the Iraqis committing many atrocities of which you probably are unaware of, including the rape of many Iranian women and beheading of many many Iranian soldiers.
As for Iran running out of oil. This further supports how vaguely you know Iran and Iranians. Iranians, much to your dislike, are blessed with unmatched minds in the world. You are probably unaware or unwilling to learn more about this and Iranians. At this very moment, Iran is fighting the rest of the world for its right to self dependency and what it rightfully is entitled to. And for that matter, The Iranian leaders have to be one like you or ones you take them for, if they decide to compromise Iran and the Iranian people.

Re: The war in Iraq cannot be viewed in isolation. Iran is heavily backing the jihadis in Iraq as part of a regional effort to oppose the U.S. and its allies, destroy any seedlings of democracy, and eliminate any prospects for Arab-Israeli peace. This effort includes support for the Syrian regime, for Hezbollah in Lebanon, and for Hamas in Gaza.

unquote:

And the BS never ends.

Unfortunately we have 300 million in the great nation and its takes just one deliberate lie to create havoc in our midst.

The prospect for Arab Israeli peace will depend on Israel stopping the annexation of Arab lands.

We are all not idiots you know!

Ben, one more thing. You seem to be a little green when it comes to "democratic states." Do you not think that Israel is oppressing Palestinians? You write, "America stands for the goodness of man and the potential of man when man is free to pursue his dreams. It is for this reason that radical Muslims seek our destruction." You know, everytime I hear an Al Qaeda released tape, I keep hearing Bin Laden talk about how much he hates to hear that we get to "pursue our dreams." I guess the part about Israel illegally controlling land that Muslims feel is rightly theirs and the oppression of the Palestinians must have been turned down when you were listening. Ben, is your real name Saul?

Ben, did you say that Jewish people are fighting side by side Americans in Iraq? Show me where Israeli soldiers are in Iraq? Show me where Jewish people fought as Americans in the "THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, THE WAR OF 1812, THE CIVIL WAR, THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR." Ben, it is you that is "unaware." You keep spitting that neo-con rhetoric and American men and women will continue to die for Israel's security. With your fact sheet, you could help Singer write his next op-ed: Iraq, We Won because Ben and I said so."

AIPAC progagandizer.

Its a travesty this w
