New Year’s Resolutions for Rantburgians
I’ll kick it off with a few from the middle east:

PLO chairman, Yassir Arafat, resolved: To continue being the Fidel Castro of the Middle East.
That should be an easy one!

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, resolved: To continue talking up democracy and development to my western patrons while winking at my country’s anti-Semitic media and suppressing freedom of expression at home.

Turkish Justice and Development Party leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, resolved: To finally be prime minister of Turkey, dammit.

Afghani President Harmid Karzai, resolved: To stay alive.

Osama bin Laden, resolved: To be true the the real spirit of Islam the Religion of Peace (TM), by listening more to competing viewpoints, to take others’ feelings and beliefs into account more and to really understand the people I disagree with. To kill more Americans. Allahu akbar!
