It’s the latest version of the longest-running play in the modern Middle East, which, if I were to give it a title, would be called: “Who owns this hotel? Can the Jews have a room? And shouldn’t we blow up the bar and replace it with a mosque?”andyhttp://indyagenda.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-58642214188093721602010-03-02T11:29:28.309-08:002010-03-02T11:29:28.309-08:00Roger that.

As a Zionist who is restricted to a wheelchair, he has plenty of hatred seething within him. <br /><br />He is the classic stereotypical grown-up version of the kid who was mocked with "Kick Me!" signs in school, the kid who had his books pushed out from under his arm in the stairwell. He hates everything around him and sees the only way to feel safe as being powerful, murderous and punitive toward all with whom he disagrees -- and that's a huge portion of humanity there.<br /><br />If there's a more bitter columnist working today, I'd like to hear about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-20186244065837869322010-02-28T18:30:27.426-08:002010-02-28T18:30:27.426-08:00"victorious" in Iraq ~ maybe it's be..."victorious" in Iraq ~ maybe it's because we've managed to blanket the country with 'enduring' bases. Nothing permanent you understand. <br /><br />I'm sure controlling the flow of oil had nothing to do with the "victoriousness" krauthammer boasts of.<br /><br />Then there's Afghanistan. But that's another country we're ridding of 'terrorists.' Doesn't seem to be finished there ~ And have you seen the number of bases there? alternet says 700!!<br /><br />Aren't we 'liberation bombing' in Pakistan, Yemen with Iran on the horizon?<br /><br />If Krauthammer ever woke up and looked at himself in the mirror....Tehranchikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285195455065230632noreply@blogger.com
