Infadel knows me so well...

Infidel,

Since your insight is so good, please answer these simple questions:

1. How long have I been studying political science, history, and foreign policy; and what is my political affiliation?

2. In what two subjects do I have my honors degrees (plural), and to what Muslim countries have I traveled (again plural)?

3. In which branch of the United States Military did I serve, how long, and what was my MOS?

If you can answer these three questions accurately I will let the entire site know that you are the "ALL KNOWING INFIDEL"

Untill then lets tackle some of the issues you brought up. Antisemetic: don't think so, maybe you should tell that to my JEWISH girlfriend. Being against Israeli policies of occupation and destabilizing influence on the region, or being anti-Zionist does not make a person anti-semitic. Of course, the term has no meaning left since the term is so overused and abused. If that is the case, anyone who is critical of Israeli policies becomes somehow anti-Jewish. Even the jews in the IDF who refuse to serve in the occupied territories.

On the contrary, you are antiMuslim, as very clear and apparent by your remarks. I would not be surprised to learn that you don't know any Muslims personally. I do, and they are some of the classiest, peaceful, and intelligent people I have ever known. They have good family values and often don't have any of the vices that our culture has such as gambling, drinking and drug abuse. They live like Americans lived in the 40's and 50's, when it did have their religious values straight. This is why they will succeed where we will fail: they have stable families and proper upbringing, while we become fast food addicted, pill popping, pleasure seeking, boob tubbed, over commercialized, debt ridden wrecks. I often wonder why so many people on this site hate Muslims. I think you, my dear Infidel have opened up my eyes. Its self loathing, you hate the failure most Americans are becoming so there is envy for those who have emotional and spiritual stability and happiness. By the way, Muslims are making more money too, twice the national average. Envy, and well understood envy.

Of course religion is dead in America, patriotism is the new religion of the middle income, middle aged and middle american white male. And ofcourse Fox News is the new dummed down bible. A professor of mine said years ago, take away God and man will worship the most powerful entity that he knows; and that is the State. America worshipers, talk about sheep. I bet you believed that Saddam Hussein was directly involved because our president told you so. He also had weapons of Mass destruction, because the CIA told you so. And now Iran is going to develop nukes in the next couple of years, because Fox told you so. Sheep dressed up as Hawks, I think the term is 'chicken hawk'.

Homework: Read the latest Senate Foreign relations com. report and see what it says about the Iraq-Al Qaeda connection; something educated people knew all along. Then read the latest article by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt on the U.S. foreign policy and Israel. You probably don't know who they are, but they are the real deal on the subject, unlike the clowns on this site. Then check out the CIA report on Iranian nukes (unclassified and right on line) and tell me what the experts are saying about how long it will take Iran. I would suggest more readings but that may take you away from the beloved "O'Reilly Factor" so lets start with this.

Thank you for showing me the light, and knowing me so well. Now its my turn.
