#3 This has nothing to do with a Middle Eastern world conditioned by widespread Moslem Values, right? Saying things like that would be SO wrong.

Too much Western television is responsible for all this. Its ALL OUR FAULT! The death and reminiscences of Elizabeth Taylor drove them to it.
That and the good life shown on the Sopranos. Every Big Mustache under a big nose aquiver to be "Free". Everybody wanted to BE KhaDaffy or Assad themselves, why let only one man have all the fun, they ALL want to have shoes and stand out there on the balcony and BE Al-Duce.

I know, lets build a Mosque at Ground Zero and all just be friends

#8 per this report, the fatality count is well over 100

Latakia, which is on the coast of the Med and Tafas which is south central have also had anti Assad protests.

#9 Speaking only for myself, I haven't decided if Dribble is a moby or just a dick.

#11 I blame Bush.-NS

I'd have to agree to the point that this is what part of the goal of putting a quasi-democratic regime in Baghdad was about. The neighbors can't ignore it. There is an alternative.

The Animal Planet Channel had an interesting program on a pride of African lions. The females were being harassed by a pack of hyenas. Whenever a female made a kill, the pack would hound the lioness resulting in her chasing several of the hyenas, but allowing others to steal her kill. They kept this up with all the lionesses since the female lions were not strong or fast enough to run the hyenas down. Finally, the old man returned from his territorial jaunt and surveyed the situation as it unfolded. He identified the matriarch of the hyena clan and took right after it, swiftly running it down and breaking its neck. The effect was to throw the entire pack into pandemonium since it then had to sort out its hierarchical pecking order. This gave the female of the pride the time to hunt and provide for their cubs.

The jackals are a bit too busy watching their own posteriors at the moment to dabble in other peoples affairs.

#13 Forget Dribble. The guy we really need to hear from now is the LEVANT. You remember the guy who was so defiant when the Israelis had their last little dust up with the Hezebullies? LEVANT! Are you out there? Calling LEVANT. Come in, LEVANT. Tell us what Pencil Neck is gonna do about this. Tell us what his Iranian masters are gonna do about it. Unlike Dribble, LEVANT was actually fairly coherent...er...for a troll anyway.
