Thanks for the language lesson asshole. You could use one yourself. If you were a true Jew instead of a rabid, frothing, Zionist anti-semite, those words would never escape your mouth.
You don't even know your own provenance, so, once again, you're an idiot.
"we are better than you. the world needs us. (because we include einsteins). it doesn't need arabs. the three hundred million of them don't include anyone (try it yourself. see if you can come up with someone other than omar sharif, zogby and suicide bombers) -- david sugarman"
As an Arab I find this to be quite a relief. Now I can quit my job and become an actor (or a pollster or suicide bomber...whatever.)
At the risk of taking you seriously...I'd like to posit two doomsday scenarios that already took place in the past few years.
In one, a rogue nation manipulated weaker powers to invade a country. In that invasion, 8,000 people died. Once occupying the country, that nation undertook actions that have caused the death of tens of thousands and caused a civil war that's not likely to find an end for decades.
In the other, a rogue nation attacked its neighbor and littered its populace with tiny explosive devices that have so far resulted in the deaths and injuries of over a thousand people.
I'm sure you're on top of these threats to humanity, but perhaps your efforts would be better aimed at the calamities that have already (and are) occuring, rather than hypothetical dangers in a hazy future.
oh well.
That's what's been fired into Israel. And they're the bad guys because they build bomb shelters so that their children aren't killed. None the less since the Hamas have stated point blank a reiteration of the Kartoum conference's "3 No's" - no peace, no recognition, no negotiation, it's hard to see what anyone can do with Hamas.
Have you ever read the Hamas Charter?

(I can hardly wait for the Salonistas to tell me the US Constitution is a contract for Genocide and nothing more, too.)
First of all, says who?
And second, you may be waiting a while.
Yes, McCain's being as stupid as Hillary talking about obliterating Iran....
Obama may misspeak at times, but he doesn't do the idiotic and dangerous posturing that McCain and Hillary do. The world is watching, not just the more belligerent wing of U S voters. I'm embarrassed, but beyond that these immoderate fools are making the world a more dangerous place, and feeding anger in Islam. The days of beating up on and threatening Islam need to be over. These two politicians make us the problem.
Poor Glenn,
You just don't have any clue. McCain's secret plan for Hamas is to send Jimmy Carter over there for non-stop non-judgmental blather. That's their worst nightmare.
The worst nightmare would be McCain as the leader of this great nation! It was the current administration that forced Abbas to hold an election. Then when he held the election with his objections, Hamas won through a democratic process. Uups! that backfired and now he talks of being Hamas worst nightmare! Hamas is the enemy of Israel because of the land situation. Hamas has done much for the people in Palestine and are respected by most Palestinians. Remember Fatah was voted out because of corruption!
Course McCain and his cohort went to Israel and did some fund raising at taxpayer's expense. He got the support of Israel and its supporters of Israel who reside in the US. I'm tired of my taxdollar going overseas!
John McPAIN, HAMAS and "SO-CALLED" TERRORISTS' SELF-PROCLAIMED "WORST NIGHTMARE"
ITS HIS FOREIGN POLICY THAT IS "SERIOUS-LY" FLAWED, AND NOT SERIOUS, THAT AMERICANS DOES SCARE!!!!!
WITH HIS SMUG SHIT-EATING SMIRKING GRIN
AND THE EVIL HYPOCRISY IN HIS HEART OF SIN
WE KNOW THAT HE IS A WORSE MONSTER THAN CHIMP Bush, AN UBER-SOCIOPATHIC LIAR WHO DOESN'T AT ALL CARE!!!!!
SO LET US CONCERNED AMERICANS GET TOGETHER AND ROUGHLY PUSH
THIS SENILE PASTY-FACED FLIP-FLOPPING CODGER RIGHT ON HIS SAGGING TUSH!!!!
THIS CREEP NEEDS TO BE SCHOOLED AND LEARNED
AND IF NECESSARY AT THE STAKE TO BE BURNED!!!!!
HE'S NOT MENTALLY FIT FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE, THE DRUG-ABUSING, MIND-ADDLED PSYCHOTIC LUSH!!!!!
Hamas is an enemy of Israel, not the U.S.
Of course, you understand that we have a mutual defense treaty with Israel, right? Well, no.
You understand that the state of Israel is crucial to U.S. defense interests, right? Well, no.
You understand that Israel is a shining example of secular democracy in the Middle East, right? Well, not exactly.
Ah, but they're friendly to the U.S., or at least they're the enemy of our enemies ... which makes it simple for McCain: We are obliged to sacrifice everything for the benefit of the enemy of our enemies. Which explains why we send as many billions of dollars to Pakistan (a nuclear-armed Islamo-Fascist dictatorship) as Israel (a nuclear-armed, but democratic, sectarian state). If we didn't, they might become friends of our enemies. Not a good thing.
See? Foreign policy just makes good, serious sense.
we (the U.S.) have, i've heard, 700 bases throughout the world. where we don't have bases, we have compliant states (israel and to a much lesser extent, pakistan, for two). this has been policy since WWII. does it make sense in the 21st century? you're asking me????!!!!
Why does Mr. Greenwald come to the conclusion that Hamas is this isolated little group that means no harm to the United States? As if they had no connection at all with the Muslim Brotherhood whose ideology aims to destroy western civilization because of its threat to Islam? My question is rhetorical: He simply does not take religion seriously. He cannot imagine a world-view based on a particular, totalitarian form of Islam. He can imagine that American democracy is threatened by a Falwell, but not that our strong world position, on which American democracy depends, can be threatened by a resurgent Islam. Even as he observes how the "Palestinians" moved from the secularism of Arab nationalism, which could include Christians, to an exclusive Islamism that has no place for them, to Hamas, which is the Muslim Brotherhood in power.
