That is the most sensible analysis I've read in quite a while. Thanks for the link!

it makes sense - the zionist's are using israelis to appropriate Palestine - the us oil/bomb oligarchs (funded by dwindling us tax receipts) are using the zionist's to provoke arabs so they can sell the bombs and control the oil.

the desperation is so obvious and transparent, that it would be funny - except for the death and maiming going on.

does anybody really care who we buy oil from or what the exchange denomination is? I don't care if an Arab owned oil company makes the profit and not a us one.

a pathetic little country (chirac) and a big "has been" country out for one last night on the town.

the article is right about iran - never underestimate iran - they are smart they are ready and they got friends. In fact - they were a 'jewel of democracy' until a us/cia sponsored coup installed the shaw and his secret police. they seem to be pulling themselves together pretty good - despite the sanctions and Iraq attacks with us WMD's back in the 80s and those non-sensical us sanctions. is there anyone not being sanction by the us?:)

i don't know why israel's boss-men are so fool harty as to think those half-billion bucks of bunker busters, that the us dod and bomb/oil oligarchs sold them (again, to be paid by us taxpayer grants) are going to do them any good. one little provocation in iran will be israel's end i fear. let's hope hope the israelis can wrest their government back.

there was a time - but it is no more. the torch of freedom and knowledge is moving east - and south too - last week Brazil put a satelite in orbit - good for you brazil. you make me proud to be a western hemispherer!

remember folks - vote early and vote often:)
