#1 More diplomatic ties = support for oppressive dictatorships

Deeper economic ties = investment in corrupt oil companies controlled by the dictator's family/tribe.

More cultural ties = Subsidising more radical imams come to preach and preach in Europe's mosques and hiring Arab nationalist intellectuals to lecture European students about the evils of the West and the Zionists.

But it doesn't matter. It's already too late for old Europe. The old order in the Islamic world is crumbling. Zappy can go on pretending that his decrees, his little meaningless initiatives matter. He can go on offering platitudes. That's what Old Europe is about.

#2 To the tune of "The Duke of Plaza-Toro" by Gilbert and Sullivan

In enterprise of martial kind when there was any fighting
He swore to let the enemy win and put it into writing
During the Exodus I think he'd have supported Pharaoh
That overrated craven ignoble man Cobarde Zapatero

And when the issue was if there should be a future for the family
He orderÃ©d a mortal blow to be struck very handily.
He thought if you weren't pure despair your mind was much too narrow
That overrated craven ignoble man Cobarde Zapatero.

#3 Zappy is following the Chavez model. You know, the completely wrong one. He also seems to be getting tutelage from Chirac in his clown routine.. He apparently didn't need any help with knowing how to insert his nose up the Arab/Islamist ass crack.

I didn't realize he is physical midget well as a mental one.

#9 "Zappy is the one on the right." I can always pick him out because he looks so much like Rowan Atkinson's "Mr. Bean".

#12 islam is not a religion of peace nor is christianity and judeaism they are all political tools to motivate people to do what the clergy rabbi or oman says,
wake up people and see the opium of the masses for what it is.

#13 Mr. Marx, I presume? If you stick around for a bit, you'll see that none of us is particularly fond of "holy men" of any persuasion who drive their flocks into paroxysms of hatred and blood feuds.
