chicot Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Of course not, but to his fellow Arabs, is Allawi REALLY an Arab? I think not. I think they see him as something LESS because he stands for freedom. 112593[/snapback] Ethnic group is determined by genetics not election. Regardless of what other Arabs think of Allawi, the fact remains that he is an Arab and when you denigrate all Arabs you denigrate him and others like him that you believe stand for freedom.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Among other reasons, a lot of them are sort of lying low for now because they don't like getting their heads cut off. We need to root out and kill the real enemy. And I mean kill, because there is no other way. 112650[/snapback] Yes, well if you kill them, then won't you inflame the "Arab Street"? What I want to know is WHY are these people so predisposed to wanting to blow themselves up? It's unnatural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times and attitudes can be changed. It just doesn't happen quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 See ya later, fughead. The world can breathe a little easier today. Not much. But a little bit.

Mark VI Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Although it doesn't matter, I don't like where this is going. Most arabs just want to get their paycheck and be left alone. Race bashing muddles the distinctions of who and what the enemy is, and that doesn't help when it comes to fighting them. 112596[/snapback] Well stated. I have some friends of Arab decent. They are peaceful people who are disgusted with the politics, like the majority of most cultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkFast Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Something about eternal life with a couple geishas or 72 virgins, isn't it? Ever notice that all these suicide soldiers or whatever are always promised a whole lot of kitty in the after life?

chicot Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Welcome, Dave. BTW, how does a smelly arab terrorist end up with a name like "Dave" anyway?
