That area does have a penchant for Despots, I do remember the Shah being overthrown, out of the frying pan into the fire.
Part of the problem seems to be that there is a magic solution, history says otherwise. |

Certainly we have been more comfortable being allied against the French than with them. The latter is somewhat unnatural. |

Which always struck me as odd. |

Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
I learned today after reading a national newspaper that the Boston terrorist moved to America and lived off of tax payer sponsored welfare for several years.And the terrorist's mother had been arrested for shop lifting for, of all things, clothes valued at $1600. And it has been disclosed that a close friend had spent time living at their home and was told by the mother that she believed America bombed the Twin Towers on purpose to...get this..."make Muslims look bad". Obviously that entire family was a bunch of extremist simply sponging off the good nature of America. Another example of why we in America need to change our immigration policy and make it tougher for people to get in here.Not talking about the Brits.

Plenty of natural born Americans do this ...

So in other words, when we have plenty of home grown parasitic wingnuts, we don't need to import any more. :sneaky:
You seem a tad paranoid regarding Muslims- there are mosques being built all around London now. I would be interest to know what British fart means by Brits being the exception- plenty of British born Muslims around. Maybe only Jewish people should be allowed to immigrate to the US because apart from the Israelis they don't engage in terrorism - arms dealing, maybe |

You seem a tad paranoid regarding Muslims- there are mosques being built all around London now. ..... FWIW. I lived and worked in London for 15 years, and grew up in a city with a mosque when that was still newsworthy in a provincial city. It was opened by the local MP, (which was a little odd because she was Jewish). While working in London I was involved with a muslim organization for a number of years that served a predominantly muslim client base. So I was in contact with muslims, including muslim clerics, on a daily basis, from around the UK and around the world. Many were Arabs or Pakistanis, others were from Iran, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, or west Africa, a few were migrants living in east Africa, Zambia, South Africa, the Caribbean or the Americas, incl the US and Canada. I must have met several hundred of them face to face. I have also read several books over the years on Middle Eastern and central Asian culture and history. How many muslims have you met, and how familiar are you with muslim history and culture? :confused: Of course it may be my understanding of muslim history and culture, where there is a centuries long tradition of preaching "death to the infidels", that still continues today in some regions and mosques, even in western Europe, that feeds my concerns, and which you refer to as "paranoia". |

Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
Point of order - Muslim isn't a race, it's a religion.
All religions are open for parody and mockery in my book :nod: |
