#1 They'll be rid of us at about the same time as the Palestinians are rid of Israel -- the day that they become tolerant and peace-loving. I don't think it will happen -- they have neither the education or inclination to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and do something fruitful. They'd rather live in the 10th century, blame everybody else for their woes, and champion suicide bombers as role models. Oil is their welfare program. And thus they are the cannon fodder for their dictators and clerics. This is not the stuff that America is made of.

#2 Ya notice what the US forces did in response to this outbreak of protesting? Not one damn thing. No one was shot, tortured or raped because of this protest.

The fact they can do this at all now is a good sign
