Another crazed white guy. This "crazed white guy" (as you call him) helped to save the world from the nazis. I guess you don't like that he did that, do you? I wonder where you live? And I suppose you also sympathize with the islamic terrorists? Peter Newman Then you suppose erroneously. In that case, explain this "another crazed white guy" reply of yours. Do I suppose correctly that perhaps you are not white and are not entirely happy about your colour? Would it be also perhaps correct to assume that you are a racist? The ****ing English in large part created the Middle East mess. Don't give me that tired old Churchill crap. The English certainly did not create Al Qaeda. And that "old tired Churchill" description of Islam is certainly more fitting than anything that any politician of today would dare to say publicly. The problem of today is Islam and its crazed Muslims - certainly not "crazed white guys". Peter Newman |

Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome." Sir Winston Churchill, from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899). That was written during the time that Britain and Russia were engaged in "The Great Game", or a contest of imperial superpowers to acquire large stretches of land in central asia. |

Peter Newman The problem today is people refusing to live within their means, both personally and nationally. Really? Or is it simply jealousy on your part, 'tard boy? The problem today is people see the differences between one another, not the similarities. Speak for yourself, 'tard boy. If you want to defeat the jihadists you do not attack their religion. You stop giving them reasons to kill you. They are using their 'religion' as a reason to KILL YOU, 'tard boy. Bono is right. Bono is a passable musician. Other than that, he's just another 'tard boy. If the West would use their riches to truly help the starving and infirm (most of whom are incidently Muslim), while cutting back on the greed and gluttony at home that forces us to kill for oil, then the jihadists wouldn't be able to recruit. Aha... more income re-distribution, eh, Komrade 'tard boy? LMAO at the clueless 'tard yet again. dxAce Michigan USA http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |

Actually, 'The River War' deals with his experiences in the Sudan, which most of us know is in Africa, rather than Asia. dxAce Michigan USA http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |

It's a scam. $60 dollars a day per soldier for spoiled food. Sailboat fuel convoys. Billions of dollars missing. During WW2 there was commission to provide oversight and prevent profiteering, set up by a Democratic congress to oversee a Democratic president. Republicans have no intention of checking up on their own. They are swine. |
