    Top U.S. Aid Recipients: 2004

    1. Iraq
    2. Israel
    3. Egypt
    4. Afghanistan
    5. Colombia
    6. Jordan
    7. Pakistan

    It seems that Muslims need a lot of foreign aid. Could that be because their cultural and social systems do not support free enterprise, personal responsibility, and individual effort? Hmmm...

    Ahem. You just quoted the statistics from one state within the UAE.

    That's like quoting the statistics from Arizona and using them to represent the entire U.S.

    Oil revenues account for 30% of the GDP of the UAE.

    Israel serves us as a useful tool. It absorbs a lot of Islamist attacks that would otherwise be directed at us.

    Israel is on the front line of the war of Islam vs. Western Civilization. To keep them in the fight, we help them out financially.

    Overall, it's less costly to us than absorbing those attacks on American soil -- which we will do as soon as the Israeli's are destroyed.

    That's probably one reason yo! hates Israel so much. He only seems happy when America is under attack. And to derive that feeling, he doesn't even use drugs :D

    In other words, far less than we have spent on trying to turn Iraq around in just the last few years.

    Nice.

    I didn't even know that George Washington supported the Shah of Iran or Israel. Man, I really need to start reading whatever it is you're reading.

    Do trees, blind people, guide dogs, and hindus also support the Shah and Irsael?

    What about Shiites, since the Sunni Muslims seem to murder a lot of those. Do they support Israel? What about Sunni Muslims, since the Shiite Muslims seem to murder a lot of those. Do they support Israel?

    Indonesians then -- they must support Israel. Why else would the Islamists have bombed them?

    And yes, you dimwit, if England were to attack us we should attack them. But guess what, England isn't attacking us. Who is attacking us? The Islamists are. Who should we be attacking? The Islamists.

    honestly you are so rediculous, its pretty obvious that support of the shah and support of israel have been the root of why the "islamists" hate us, or at least hate us to point of wanting to attack us

    you can live in paranoid fantasy land, and talk about the barbary pirates etc,

    but you just look like a nut
