#1 Meanwhile in Iraq:

Iraqis burn a mock American flag during a rally against the U.S. military presence in Iraq after traditional Friday prayers at the Um al-Qura Mosque, a Sunni Muslim mosque on the outskirts of Baghdad, Friday, Nov. 12th, 2004. Sunni Muslim clerics Friday called a one-week general strike to protest the "massacres" in the besieged city of Fallujah. The strike would largely coincide with a major religious holiday when few go to work anyway.

#2 Do they ever work?

When I visited Morocco I saw men standing in all corners of the city (Marrakech) and doing nothing. A few were selling stuff in the souk, but apart from that I didn't see men *working*.

In the countryside, the men were just standing in the fields, watching kids take care of the goats, with tons of stones lying everywhere on the ground -- after centuries of living there they haven't even cleared the fields of either big or small rocks.

Not only are they filled with hatred for our freedom and prosperity, they're busy being unproductive.

#7 "The Arabs are a filthy and lazy people."

-I wouldn't paint them all w/a super wide brush OS. The Chaldeans I knew in Detroit were some real hard working folks and entrepreneurs. They owned a lot of the 7/11s, gas stations, mom & pop grocers, etc. Being that they're Catholic
Iraqis and not muslims may have had something to do with it.

#8 From expierience in Saudi Arabia they seem to put all activity up to Allen. If asked if a package or shipment has come in it's "Allah knows" or if asked when will it get here, same answer. If nothing gets done it's Allah's will. If it does eventually get done it's Allah's will. They don't take personal responsibility for ANYTHING. Traffic signals are a joke and are ignored. If there is an accident, it's Allah's will. If nothing happens it's Allah's will. Muslims there seemed on the whole to be almost worthless.

#11 When will my fellow Dems admit the obvious: in the middle east, France is not only not our ally, they're on the other side.
Oh, wait, millions of fellow national security Dems do see this, and did indeed desert the party and vote for Bush this year. Just don't ask them to admit it publicly.

#12 Wish Bush had the balls to tell France what he really thinks about them. But that would not be the politically correct thing to do now would it.
But silence is better than what Kerry would have probably done though. Suprised not to see a Kerry -Edwards campain sign carried thru the streets ... that would have been a few weeks ago.
And by the way lex.... Typical Democrat would not admit they voted for the best man. ... Figures ??

#13 Lieberman would have defeated Bush. But of course the MikeyJimmuhMadHow faction would never have allowed Lieberman anywhere close to the nomination. Crossroads now.
