Well, this is interesting.

"'The liberals will escape or be killed,' the son, Seif al-Islam el-Qaddafi, vowed in an hourlong interview that stretched past midnight. 'We will do it together,' he added, wearing a newly grown beard and fingering Islamic prayer beads as he reclined on a love seat in a spare office tucked in a nearly deserted downtown hotel. 'Libya will look like Saudi Arabia, like Iran. So what?'"

[QUOTE="jetpower3"]

[QUOTE="Victorious_Fize"] Hehehe, I've always considered this simplistic view to be part of how well-rooted militarism (nothing wrong with that, although first of its kind, I must say) is in your average Americans. It's like their "I don't know", correct? :PVictorious_Fize

I can't speak for everyone obviously, but in my experience, this form of militarism is surprisingly widespread, even among highly developed regions and those who are well educated and accomplished. Although, it is true that I live near NYC and among those highly affected by the 9/11 attacks. I guess no one's immune, even many years later and especially on top of many previous years of distrust.

I think 9/11 has little to do with it, as it seems Americans have a general pride in their army, while they all look the same to me...

Well, in any case, that pride is for all the wrong reasons I fear. I can't tell you just how sick I am of hearing the words "fighting for our freedom" when I know that in fact that the military is fighting a very different war (of more economic and geopolitical consequences). The argument of whether that war should be fought or not is irrelevant to me, but the fact is that through all of this Islamophobia, militarism, and those slogans, the reality is getting very distorted.

[QUOTE="Victorious_Fize"] Well, judging that you read the opening, I think you can see how a person will easily smell my hatred of them from a mile... America and the GCC in general are known to be extremely important allies, I thought this was of importance because not all the brothers are like-headed people, and one can be vastly different from the other, surely people are familiar with Faisal and the 1973 oil crisis. But I think you're right, perhaps it didn't reach for a reason. Alas.Victorious_Fize

Whatever countries or parties the U.S. government allies with is generally at odds with whom its citizens like. I've had way too many conversations about this in which the other party suggests using nuclear weapons to destroy the entire Middle East region.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="Victorious_Fize"]The guy that was supposed to take the crown after the Saudi King. What, do you guys kiss cheeks and bow to whoever his ass touches the throne?Victorious_Fize
Bitter much? You are aware this is an American site populated mostly by American people who would know nothing about your personal interactions with a foreign nation they know very little about... right? Politics of Saudi Arabia are probably not a very popular general-interest topic outside of those who it involves directly. Talk to SaudiFury about it, he'll probably understand what you are going on about.

No they don't. It's a stupid phrase for people that want an excuseto be an ass.

I hope you're right, but I take you're not in high school during the year 2011

Are you still in high school? If so, don't expect much logic and sustainability when it comes to these matters.
