Re: China Drills for Oil in Gulf

Naaaah! We should simply reopen relations with Cuba and get over it. Both countries will benefit.

Likewise we should get the hell out of Iraq.

Scroll down....

So that Israel can blow Iran away without our pansy interference ;-)

The Cuban people were better off under Batista than Castro.

Castro would have likely fallen years ago if he didn't have the US to blame all the problems on.

That 'out of Iraq' is a bit late now, their new gov would collapse within hours, a new Saddam would perhaps emerge after years, and maybe even peace.

But Israel will always be in trouble, as will any religious concept based state. Sure they will be vapourised if they nuke Iran, the other Islamitic countries like Pakistan that _have_ a bomb will gladly supply some test samples to Iran, and with only 4 or 5 cities in Israel it would be city-less.

I'd suggest for Israel to treat their neighbours like humans, and presto, but I know _nothing_ will help religious fanatics (on both sides, Jewish and Islam). So that makes it 100% predictable a nuke for nuke exchange. And, with Israel so small, it will be the loser. I doubt a glassifying action after that by the US would make any difference. And could be politically problematic,

Israel should behave.

It is more likely we will end up with the Biden solution. Iraq has never made sense as a country and if the US pulled out, it is likely to stop being one country.

No matter what, some day the occupation will have to end. On that day, it is nearly certain that the folks in the Green Zone will stop being the government.

I don't think Israel would start anything like that. They are at least partially sane.

Well, if you look at history, US took that land, and, unlike buying NY for a bottle of whisky did not even pay for it. But if you look closer, Palestinians that _are_ allowed to keep living in the now Israel, are discriminated against (as are Jews living in say Iran). So, sure Israel should not be a Jewish state, have separation of religion and state, and treat Palestinians right. Maybe then the Palestinians will treat Israel right. The Jews are in fact their guests. Keeping Palestinians in camps is a crime against humanity. Perhaps the old testament philosophy Israel follows knows no compassion, and as you sow so you will reap. I am not holding my breath for a solution.

Ummmm? I thought the cretin members of the UN created Israel with a great deal of help from the Brits... n'est ce pas??

Ummmm? Your ignorance of history is showing. The DUTCH bought New York for beads and trinkets.

Israel doesn't "keep" Palestinians in camps, Palestinians live in camps because their hate is so great they have descended to thuggery.

Jan, I know you think you're funny... but you're not... not even mildly amusing.

But I suppose I _could_ quite appropriately transliterate "Jan Panteltje" into "Jan Panty-waist"... that _is_ the correct translation of "Panteltje" anyway, is it not ?:-)

Well I thought is was good news. Now current repubertian policy is to take some distance from Bush, so it may not mean that much.

But if you really bettered your life, and your view on relations with Cuba points in the good direction, maybe the spelling will become easier.

More likely,IRAN would take over and install some sockpuppet. At present,they are the main source of trouble in Iraq.

Well,they treat their own Palestinian citizens well,FAR better than what Palestinians get in any other country. When their neighbors start acting civilized,then they WILL get civil treatment from Israel. So far,from day one all Israel has gotten is war,bombings,and the threat of extinction.This while the Palestinian leadership fails to make things better for their own people,choosing to spend on war that they cannot succeed at.(or pirating the money for personal stashes) Right now,there really is NO Palestinian government,just a few groups of terrorists.No rule of law,either.

Is that possible,without decimating them?

Personally I'm finding them just a bit tiresome, and would vote to napalm the whole of Palestine to the ground.

I truly do not see why after the next rocket attack from Gaza,Israel doesn't fly a C-130 with a MOAB over Gaza and drop it on them. That will take care of the hidden underground storage bunkers where their rocket stocks are,and I suspect they won't be firing rockets at Israel after 1 or 2 MOABs. (I believe Israel has purchased some MOABs.)

this firing tiny Hellfire missiles at tiny groups of terrorists is not addressing the real problem;the ENTIRE Gaza strip is a nest of terrorists. It's like squishing a few fleas after they've bitten you,but doesn't go after the source;all the fleas and eggs still in the carpet.

I like napalm. I like to send messages... so, MOAB followed by napalm ;-)
