OH MY!! A bunch of scientists who may or may not actually have been Nazis were encouraged to work for the U.S. govt building weapons to protect us from the SOVIETS? Just because you worked for the govt during the time of that lunatic NDP Bob Rae does NOT make you a socialist!
Nazis murdered eleven million people in their concentration camps. Soviets murdered over 60 millions in their gulags! And Communist Chinese murdered as many as 80 million!
A POX on all the dictators! And Yankees have yet to be thanked for protecting us from Soviets!
And here is a response to some garbled nonsense from MHz- our resident jew baiter who thinks all the ills of the world are caused by jews!
Oh you POOR FOOLISH Muslim! Since you obviously have no understanding of western thought or ideas even though you apparently live among us, let me explain it to you in small words you will understand: We will not encourage ANY change in the status of the Palestinian Authority until some conditions are met. These conditions include making some sort of honest lasting peace with Israel.
You must also abandon the Right Of Return since you cannot send out waves of suicide bombers to maim and kill civilians in market places and on buses and then expect the survivors to trust you and let you move your bomb making equipment into the house next door. You must give up your dream of driving all Israelis into the sea and must prove that you have honestly given up that dream and are not simply following Yassir Arafat style thinking-that each Israeli peace concession will be a stepping stone to the next Palestinian demand until Israel has nothing more to give and can be erased.
We do accept that you have some legitimate claims and we expect Israel to make sensible concessions with honest Arab leaders but we also believe that Israelis have claims of their own and we will make no demands of Israel until Palestinians demonstrate a real desire for peace. And, since it was Great Britain that paid the price in gold and blood to liberate the Middle Eastern lands from Ottoman Turks we believe Britain had the right to set up the two state situation that you so despise and refuse to accept.
You may ask: by what right do Canadians pass judgement on people living on the other side of the world? Simple, we don’t like bullies and we don’t like thugs and you have stained your cause with your endless atrocities against civilians. We believe the British two state solution was the best available (among various hard choices) and we think you are now being pig headed and stubborn by refusing any sensible compromise. And since you are being so stubborn we don’t feel obligated to throw money or sympathy at you; rather, we feel you will benefit from plain talk about your wrong headed position!
Our aid is for those who are NOT the architects of their own troubles. After all, there would be no freedom for you and no lands to fight over if the British had not fought so hard to defeat your enemies and give you the much desired freedom from the Ottomans in the first place!
We look forward to the day when there is a fair and lasting peace in your troubled lands. We feel the Israelis have been sensible in making peace with Egypt and in building their security fence because good fences make for good neighbours! There is less trouble if there is less contact!
The ball is now in your Arab/Muslim court-will you do something sensible or will you go back to your pest hole and make bombs? We pray you will do something sensible.....for a change.
In looking at your situation, I am reminded of the words of the Italian revolutionary Garibaldi: you have two choices; you can make peace with the moderates or you can be hanged by the extremists.
