Re: Peace in the Larger Middle East Reply #26 – 2014-02-27, 16:13:22 I removed (experimental) from the text because it's working fine really, but it doesn't currently deal with nested quotes.

That's simpler than what I've done in the past.

That took some doing. Further, what did you expect to happen? Ban the owner?
Re: Peace in the Larger Middle East Reply #31 – 2014-02-27, 19:03:16 Quote from: jseaton2311 on 2014-02-25, 17:58:17To tell you the truth--hate is so entrenched in that region that I don't believe there will be peace over there in 1000 years...not even in 100,000 years (I think they absolutely enjoy hating each other--it's part of who they are and they're damn proud of it). Where did you get this truth? Historically there was peace since Saladin to British rule. That's about 800 years. British colonisation made it into a quagmire and Israel made it into a hell-hole. Under Muslim rule the place was just fine. Quote from: jax on 2014-02-23, 10:19:48Interesting old map (from 2006). I wonder how much blood it would take to get from here to there. That particular map would be bloody to implement, yes, and it would ensure continued bloodshed. Some reasons: - Expanded Azerbaijan (why?)- Diminished Iran (particularly Arab Shia state would be better off under Iran, that's where Shias want to be)- Unredeemed Armenia - Israel is still on the map- the nationality of the person who drew the map

So, what country is that one called in the map "Islamic Sacred State"? never heard about it. It's just bellow Jordan that appears as "Greater Jordan"...

It's just bellow Jordan that appears as "Greater Jordan"...That's the Hajj destination area, set apart probably to be under community management by the whole Muslim world. Hardly a workable idea. Will the Wahhabi dictatorship really be happy in the Saudi desert next to it? Besides, Saudis are friends of the U.S., vital to their interests in the region. Another oversight from the drawer of the map.

Re: Peace in the Larger Middle East Reply #38 – 2014-02-28, 02:07:31 As I suspected this alternative Forum would be is proving correct. Essentially another wee club for the self-opiniated, self appraising open minded intellectuals.As for morons jseaton2311 yoi really madw me laugh outright at your own limited attitude (your pic embodies you well). If criticising Israeli fascism is moronic then society really has a problem. Israel is just as dangerous as Middle East terrorists. It steals land just the Nazis did in the 30's for expansion has a Mossad which acts like the Gestapo (murdering who it likes), stealing British and Aussie passports for their agents, ignores the UN and so on. All funded by the US and the Big Zionist lobby in the US.Jimbro comes in and as usual waffles about me hating groups of people which is an over the top and stupid appraisal. In actual practice I have always differentiated between situations but that he resorts to corrupting and distorting betrays much. If he wanders off the self-styled satire expect a daft aim. He and a couple of others just want a cosy club here and if you are direct and offend their touchy sensitivities expect as stupid stuff as this jseaton2311 character. Britain only looked after Palestine temporarily and had problems doing that favour which resulted in the Jewish terror gangs who murdered British soldiers (including 2 on lamp posts outside a hotel).You are entitled to an opinion jseaton2311 just lime me and anyone else here and if you don't like it don't show your limited grey cells by coming out with this moron stuff it only distracts and tends to show a limited grey cell and narrow outlook of your own. Israel anyway remains the biggest threat and gets away with practical murder stealing homes and land should never have been allowed to declare a State without those who also lived there being treated better. Maybe some of you here are too pampered mentally just as in Opera and we shall see.Jews who abhor Zionism and what it is doing but have no chance of doing anything about this rogue State. As for it being a so-called democracy ask the minorities there how they are treated. And the nonsense that the impression is being given that the land was somehow a long time possession of the former British empire shows the ignorance of those here who say that. The closed soft mind-sets here need a tin opener to let the air in to the grey cells!
Re: Peace in the Larger Middle East Reply #39 – 2014-03-28, 08:30:24 Leaked recording: Intelligence chief Hakan Fidan debating with Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Deputy Chief of Staff Yasar Guler and other officials about a false flag operation that would serve as alibi for intervention in Syria.QuoteHakan Fidan: "I'll send 4 men from Syria, if that's what it takes. I'll make up a cause of war by ordering a missile attack on Turkey; we can also prepare an attack on Suleiman Shah Tomb if necessary."sourceThe civil war in Syria has many faces. The USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey - to name just a few.It seems that since Mr.Obama holds off from humanitarian bombing other options have to be put on the table to topple Assad.
Re: Peace in the Larger Middle East Reply #40 – 2014-03-28, 12:19:04 This one for rjhowie. To show that you really don't like somebody or some country, compare them to Hitler or Nazis.Don't like Obama? He's just one more Hitler. Cameron? The same. Putin? No...I kind of like him.
