The whole Middle East seems to be going up in flames!
« on: February 20, 2011, 06:04:39 PM »
Morocco now!

Where will it end?

Why can't we do something like this?
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Just so long as we keep out of it this time.

We fvcked up big time with the creation of Israel, over the Suez Canal (thanks USA!) in Aden (where I came within inches of getting my head shot off) .... In fact the whole Middle East is a fvck-fest created by GB and the Frogs (with some American input) drawing arbitrary lines on maps that divided tribal lands and started the whole bloody mess by creating countries where none had existed before.

Quite so...

I fear the mistakes of the past are all coming together to visit us once more....  noooo:

Sort of... yet I live in one of the least Muslim friendly places in the area... for obvious reasons...

I see the new regime in Egypt has let Iranian warships through the canal... that can't be good eh...?  noooo:

Not good at all but the Yanks have a hooge fleet in the Med do they not?
Could be the excuse Obama needs.

To start WW3?

If it all kicks off I'm happier living in Muslim averse Cyprus than I think I would be in Muslim friendly UK....

Lets all hope (and pray if that floats your boat) that it doesn't...  noooo:

But the Iranians that are kicking off are trying to pick up where they left off after the elections. 70% of the population are under 30 and are mostly interested in just having a life  rubschin:

The lamps are going out all over The Middle East. We shall not see them lit again in our time.

I was thinking more about Obama releasing the brake on Israel and sitting back whilst they sort it.
