Don't believe the hype. The only difference in this part of the world over the last 3000 years is that the technology to kill has improved.
Arabs have been disorganized, unstable, violent, and altogether unable to get their act together since the dawn of time.
You liberals would have to admit this if you presented history objectively and not just gave us the tired "AmeriKKKa is evil" spiel all the time.

Not now. There are lots of good people there, but terrorist activity makes it hazardous to live there. Iraq is very hot during much of the year and does not get a lot of rain; if that climate appeals, you could go there.

Greater the risk, greater the profit.
I do not believe it is enough money in the world for me to even consider going their under my own free will.

Europe wasn't so nice in 1944, either.
Kinda worked out okay, though, didn't it?

I just read that article. The phrase "The U.S. Military can not stop they attacks." was not in the article.
