now bush is going to invade iran, page-61

Lord Elpus.I am aware of history and the numerous CONSPIRACY theories that abound about the USA in its dealings in the ME and I am NOT saying that that USA is blameless.

BUt the vast majority (and certainly their leaders) of people in the ME live in the long distant past and need to understand that we:

* prefer NOT to treat women as slaves

* believe in education for all, including women

* do NOT wish to wait for a better world in the 'next life', we prefer to find it in this life (with or without virgins)

* prefer to live tolerant life as long as those who profess another religion respect that philosophy and do NOT impose their religious intolerance down our throats.

You evidently do NOT beliEve in a tolerant liberal socity but prefer to 'climb back' to another period called the 'Dark Ages'. But please do NOT take us with you, we prefer a tolerant,open, liberal life.
