#1 arab americans have come out (NYT Letter to the Editors) saying that it would not be published if it said "Jews" or "Blacks"

I WISH the NYT would publish what the arabs say about Jews.

Anyway, what part of this poem isn't true?

#2 He sounds like a version of Jeff Foxworthy for the burka set.

#3 "When you see the ruler transformed into a demigod who never dies or relinquishes his power, and whom nobody is permitted to criticize - do not be too upset, you are in an Arab country."

Or, soon enough, in Venezuela.

#4 methinks Hugo won't get the chance to make that Leader-For-Life© last very long...when all his promises and "cheap oil for support" deals come to payoff time, and his economy is in the tank, he'll catch a 9mmm leadership change

#6 HMMMMM... I thought the Religious Policeman had ceased commenting on the arabic insanity in order to co-author a book. He must have taken a short break from his manuscript duties.

#7 Or, GP(#3), North Korea. Learned a little interesting fact on last night's (Nat'l Geographic Channel) special on North Korea, that tells you everything you need to know:

The average 7 year old (who went through the famine in the late 90's) is something like 8 inches shorter and 22 lbs. lighter than his/her counterpart in SOUTH KOREA! Jeebus, what that man is doing to the children™ alone should be enough for invasion and overthrow. But, then the death cult like worship of Kim Jong Il started too. Stuff that's VERY hard to watch and (almost) unfathomable to the western mind.

#8 In my humble (not) opinion, the word "arab" should be replaced with "muslim". After all, all muslim countries are not arab, but all muslim countries face these dilemmas.

One or so more,

When western medicine and means are available, but denied to the average citizen while the rulers have the best medixal treatment money can provide, despair not for you are in a muslim country.

When western military technology is available to every gunbunny with a death wish, fear not for thou art in a muslim country.

When thy neighbors wife/daughter offends you for having been raped by secen men and photographed while being so violated, she will thus receive 90 lashes while the perpretrators go free, but this is as it should be for thou art in a muslim country.

When religious fear and oppression outweighs the will to better oneself and one's family, thou art in a muslim country.
