#2 NO BLOOD FOR DATES!!

Considering the middle east and islam is a culture of death and splodeydopes, perhaps 'underiming its culture and heritage' is a good thing.

#3 interesting that Syrian Defense Minister General Mustapha Tlass still has a job after the IAF buzzed Assad's palace. Guess that shows who's running the place, and it ain't the boy ~~optometrist~~ dictator

#4 Tlass has been Min of Defense for 31 years, and is probably the most connected man in the Baath Party. He's not the power behind the throne, he's one of its pillars. I actually have a soft spot for him; he's the guy who said on Syrian national TV than Yasser was descended from 60 thousand whores.

#5 Maybe it was something about all the counterfitting of US money that takes place there.

Maybe it was being stupid enough to suck up to Saddam when it was obvious we were going to take him down.

Maybe we just don't care about the rights and wrongs of the Palestinians so long as they use stupid and immoral ways of waging war, and that Comrade Bashir is aiding and abetting them.

Maybe the goof-ball conspiracy theorists are right about Saddam's WMD program having decamped for Damascus.

It's not like we lack reasons.

#6 Chuck,
the Bekaa grows lovely Poppies and the Syrians have been raking in the filthy lucre for years. Whereas the States has its Columbia the Eurotypes have Syria.

#7 I propose a new roadmap, one that leads through Damascus, Riyadh, Teheran, and Islamabad, and ends up with a bunch of turbantops hanging from telephone poles along the way. Anybody that gets in the way gets ran over by a steamroller. All such incidents will be marked with an "X".

#9 OP---It sounds like you have the plan for the Grand Tourâ¢. My head must be in aviation this day. I read your "turbantops" as "turboprops" and it initially did not make any sense. LOL!
