#1 I think that he is suffering from WSTBNS (We're Soon to Be Next Syndrome). The cure, which is radical, consists of a top overhaul, as we say in the aircraft engine vernacular....

#2 I think the Iranian population might have something to say about the desirability of a government based on Islam, soon as they get that boot off their neck. I really have to question whether the Soddy populace can do the same. The persians were an educated and independent-thinking group as a whole and knew the value of an economy and free trade. The Soddy public, however, has been living in a Michael Jackson-like Neverland, where filipinos and pakis do their bidding while the oil welfare state paid their bills. I don't think they have a work ethic or entrepreneurial (sp?) class...to paraphrase an old American phrase: too many chiefs (princelings) and not enough indians (middle class business owners)

#3 Prince Abdullah is absolutely correct. We all know it's really those damn Episcopalians that've been responsible for terrorism the last 30 years. Finally, at long last, it's so refreshing to see a Muslim step forward and deny any connection between Islam and terrorism. I didn't think I'd live to see the day.

#4 C'mon Fred, it isn't terrorism if you're killing infidels!

#5 Shouldn't this be filed under "strange bedfellows"?

#6 My, my, my, those Iranians are busy little beavers, aren't they? Syria was visiting in the last couple of days. Just saw it on worldlink tv's round up of the ME.

How much do you need build the bombs faster so we can make a strong Iran?
