Re: 8-Feb-14 World View - CAR: Christians getting rid of Mus

"If you look at the last century, you can easily find genocidal wars that were Muslim versus Muslim (e.g., Iran/Iraq war), Christian versus Christian (e.g., World War II), and Buddhist versus Buddhist (e.g., Cambodia's "killing fields" civil war) ." In the case of Cambodia's civil war, what were " t...

Re: 10-Dec-13 World View -- U.S. to help France in C.A.R.

"I guess the French people, led by Sarkozy, are already turning against the CAR "humanitarian" intervention." I don't think Sakorzy opposes the military intervention in CAR. I heard one of his former ministers on the radio say that whatever criticism he may utter against president Hollande on a lot ...

Central African Republic military intervention

Here we go again: the first two French soldiers (22 and 23 years of age) have been killed yesterday. How many more to follow?
Can't the Africans themselves do the job...?

Re: 23-Aug-13 World View-Farce continues over Syria chem att

Ignorant as I am about chemical weapons I am asking a probably stupid question: if the UN inspectors were allowed to visit and inspect the site of the attack would they be able to determine who did it, who used them? and not only that CW were definitely used.

"In the case of Burma, the monks rationalize their violent acts based on fear that the country is being overtaken by Muslims, even though the country has a 90% Buddhist majority among its 60 million people, and the Muslims are about 5% of the population, many of whom are both disenfranchised and sta...

Re: 15-Jun-13 World View -- Hezbollah promises to keep fight

The Europeans are a funny crowd: they think that state televisions/radios are freer than private ones, and they can't imagine life without them. On top of that, they demand public broadcasters but are not ready to pay for it (I mean, pay for the extra cost that it entails). Europe is so state-orient...

Re: 6-Apr-13 World View -- Pandemic concerns over H7N9 flu

To Gerald and John: Exactly! That's why I don't vote anymore. At least, I can comfort myself with the fact that I don't sanction, approve their actions by voting for them. Actually what we call the "abstentionists party" in France is getting bigger and bigger, it will soon be the 1st party in the co...

Re: 6-Apr-13 World View -- Pandemic concerns over H7N9 flu

About the Cahuzac scandal, I heard this morning on the radio that the 600,000 euros was more something like 15 million euros! On top of that, a Swiss newspaper revealed 2 days ago that in order to transfer his funds from his Swiss account to a Singapour account (where his money would be more shelter...

Re: 5-Apr-13 World View -- Burma violence echoes Kristallnac

Absolutely! Jews never tried to conquer the world and convert the conquered peoples forcefully to their religion. On the other hand, the goal of Islam is Dar-al-islam worldwide (using the sword, if needs be). If that isn't ideological, what is?

Re: 10-Feb-13 WV-Arab Spring destabilization in Tunisia

The truth is the fact that "true" Christians believe that Jews go to hell doesn't harm anyone. They go to hell because they don't believe in Jesus-Christ, so what! They (the Jews) couldn't care less! But the fact that "true" muslims believe that Christians and Jews should be exterminated, that 's ve...
