Just no pleasing some people. :P


Considering that this would most likely have escalated to an exchange of nukes, yes.. yes, I think that would have been a problem and am pleased that was not done.

We still have nukes and so does Russia.

This is true, and a good reason for everyone to not wantonly pick fights all over the place just to fluff one's ego. It could escalate and end badly.

It's bad enough when children act like children.

Purim, perhaps?


Well done Xenon for being so astute,

And well done the rest of you for not being as full of hate for the brown folk as I would have expected.

This picture is of Israeli twins Ilay and Nehaoray whose Purim theme was as pictured and proudly posted on "Israels most comprehensive, authoritative daily source for 24/7 breaking news & current events from Israel and Jewish content online".(Their words), until it was pointed out it might cause offence.

One does have to wonder though why 911 would be considered an appropriate theme for a celebration that celebrates Jewish infiltration of a foreign government with the end result of Israels enemies being massacred for them?

It was thier lack of fear of us that caused that.


Expediting your unilateralist policies would have only increased muslim animosity and would just serve to have fast-tracked it.

Yeah, they're such a peaceful lot.
Read this:
Wikipedia List of Islamic Terrorist Attacks since 1972


In the post-crusades context, we never had too many problems with the islamic world before the mandate of Palestine.

I don't think thats a coiincidence.

a tasteless but legitimate joke.i like tasteless jokes,i do cant post them because i would get banned.

how about a video game called super Mohamed brothers.instead of trying to complete the game before you loose your lives,the idea would be to loose your life in jyhad before you get sent to guantanimo bay and have womens underwear put on your head.
if you die in jyhad the machine dispenses 70 condoms,you know for those 70 virgins.
women are allowed to play but they must wear burka's with full face coverage.once they are circumcised and sold onto marriage they will have to do house work,once they get good at housework they can win by putting a bomb under there clothes and walking into a jewish grocery store on the west bank.



i honestly think the costume was a joke and not intended to be offensive

Why would you post a tasteless joke immediately after declaring that you can't post them because you'll get banned?

To them might makes right and it's always better do deal from a position of strength.

So is it between leaving the middle-east alone so they do not feel any animosity, and killing them all so there is nobody left to retaliate?

I think that is projection. Belligerent nationalists of all countries tend to project a great deal and imagine that all the "others" are irrational, beastlike things who are only interested in stealing their candy or whatever. That way, they can rationalize to themselves that they're still the good guys while behaving like total dicks.

For the True Green Muslim the triumph of the Ummah is the important thing.

It is yet another manifestation of the Chosen People Disease. The Jews had it. The Nazis had it. And so do the Muslims.

The U.S. government was secretly much more pissed-off about the Pentagon attack on 9-11 than the WTC attack in my opinion. They pretended like the WTC attack was the bigger deal to them even though it wasn't. I think there's a good chance that the Afghanistan War wouldn't have started afterwards if the 9-11 attacks were confined only to the WTC.
