albert, thank you so much for making me feel like an einstein, even though that was not your intention, but thanks anyway
ofcourse al, we know, We must always follow like a sheep and not think about things from different aspects and rational point of views, god how could some game name Rahm Emmanuel be wrong, he loves and cares about each and every single one of us, from the unborn and homeless to the rich, for sure no doubt. no need to think on your own, how silly of me.
bye al, have a good one, carry on the ''good work'':2wave:

apoc im just giving you the actual reason he was killed and not justifying, it was done because he made peace with an enemy they felt they still had to expell from the land they believe is theirs. simple facts why, thats it.
apoc, if me calling the 1948 events, where their was a loss of land that arabs lived on mumbo jumbo historical revisionalis, then we have reached a deadend in this discussion
apoc i was refering to the part in your post about the sadat assaisination, are you sure you feel ok?
Are you kidding? There is absolutely no way Mubarak survives this. I give him less than 24 hours before he flees the country.

Indonesia is a Sunni Muslim democracy.
And as far away from the Sunni Arab heartland as possible. Ever notice how Muslims (and Christians for that matter) get more healthier the further away from this region they get? Take a look at what Turkey, Iran and even Egypt have in common. They were all converts and had a written history before Islam. The problem is the Sunni Arab in the heartland of the Middle East. Their history began with the Qu'ran. One might wonder what Chritianity in Europe might look like had there been no history before the Bible was written.
Imo Mali and Indonesia may be proto democracies, but they are not democratic states in the sense known in the west. As western power and influence recede they will have less and less of a motive to pursue democracy.
India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Botswana and Ghana had democracy imposed on them as a result of western colonialism or domination. Democracy is not native to any of those states. We will see how long democracy survives. Taiwan will not remain democratic state because it will be absorbed into the PRC which is the greatest authoritarian power on earth.
America has been the main motivator for the spread of democracy. But the American phase of the Western Era of world history has ended. Democracy is being rolled back. Look at Russia.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition group,is in talks with other anti-government figures to form a national unity government without President Hosni Mubarak, a group official told DPA on Sunday.

American relations with all nations in the eastern hemisphere should be limited to normal trade. Nothing more.
What do we do with France, Spain and the US? I think that the presence of any of their soil in the eastern hemisphere should automatically mean our dealings with them should be limited to normal trade but perhaps that's a little harsh.
The vast majority of France is in the eastern hemisphere, so clearly we need to limit our interactions with them to just slightly above normal trade at most.
But Spain and the UK are mostly in the western hemisphere, so I can see having a wider variety of interaction with them, but still not as much as we would have with Ireland, Portugal, Sierra Leone or the Ivory Coast.
Russia also cuts into the eastern hemisphere a bit, so we might be able to deal with them a little bit more, but I would treat them similar to Ghana, Algeria, Mal, or France.
Come to think of it, some of the Aleutian Islands are in the Eastern Hemisphere. Should we add some limitations to our relations with Alaska because of that?
Your post needs the work of an experienced editor.
But why is it that Hilary Clinton is coming across as more engaged and presidential than Obama? And for that matter, Biden is as well.
I'd say it's because she's Secretary of State and foreign affairs are her job. She works under Obama in this capacity, so she's doing her job at his behest.
And that massive sucking sound is the vacuum of leadership coming from DC.
Funny...the world see's it...but not...say...you...
I don't see anything wrong with having the Secretary of State do the job of the Secretary of State, no.
