Well the world hasn't changed too much. Don't these barbarians know they could have almost everything they want if they protested peacefully? The way to fight the West is by playing on their emotions, not targeting civilians and chanting: "Death to [fill in the blank]". The poor IDF wouldn't know what to do if the Palestinians stopped shooting at them. They'd probably throw up their arms and go home. I don't remember which Tom Clancy book it was but it had a good illustration of what could happen if they adopted a Ghandi/MLK Jr. style of protest.Originally Posted by Tribesman
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

A good illustration of what could happen ?
Do you mean 100s of thousands slaughtered and millions ethnically cleansed followed by war , terrorism , more war , more terrorism , civil war , a bit more terrorism and a nuclear standoff ? Or do you mean getting shot on a balcony because of a dream ?![]()
Come to think of it , Ghandi got murdered as well didn't he .![]()

Hey who changed the thread title ?
I did, as it was so vague you would think that Anna Nicole Smith had posted the title.
Sadly I think it will end badly for Mr Abbas. The radicals on both sides don't want peace.
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

As penance, I actually read the article.![]()
I don't think they'll kill him, I am not even sure that referendum will happen at all. 10 days is a long time, 40 days is even longer... lots of things can happen, plenty of time for various things to occur to change one's mind/stance...
It's not inconceivable that he is allowed or, whatever, encouraged, to make statements like this - to appease some foreign powers, or to stir things up, depending on who might be pulling the strings.
Of course I'm mostly talking out of my ***, I don't have any facts, but hey, I'm sure that in most such situations we only get a glimpse of a tiny teeny bit of the top of the iceberg, and miss a lot of the backstage play.
Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.
