Kuwait is leading the way to an open, free middle east by banning Fahrenheit 911. Seems they have law against insulting friendly nations and they consider Saudi Arabia to be friendly.
I guess we just want democracy and freedom in Iraq and no where else.
Kuwait Bans 'Fahrenheit 9/11'

In Bahrain, Dubai and most other Middle East and Arab countries its running in the cinemas and how!
Ironic indeed.
Ours is probably the only forum to have an actual member in the Middle East.Quote:

That rocks. Could you tell us anything about the general feeling of the movie by the people in those countries? You're closer to it than I am which is why I am asking. :)Quote:

It's time we reign in all of these freaks, and unite as one. Who’s with me! [crickets…]. Man, this liberal weenie forum really sucks!

I've never been there, but based on what I know, it's a hot, dry, barren desert, full of whacky religous freaks carry guns. No thanks! Nothing personal against you,.. it's just,.. thats not my bag.
And btw,.. thanks for the update on what people thought of Fahrenheit. I figured they would like it.
How's it feel to be the lone voice of the Bush lovers? :DQuote:

So are you saying it was ok then when they did it, everyone did it to clinton, but somehow it is treason now to talk bad about Bush?Quote:

I am not in a mood for arguing with you like this all day, so accept my towel…I am throwing it in. Because if I stay in the ring you will argue us around in circles…and I will only get dizzy and puke. Maybe I will be in full form tomorrow, and we can go at it again.

Not saying that either. I don't know what specifically you are referring to as to the slander against Clinton, and who might have been doing it. You are speaking too generally and it isn't that cut and dry. Give me names, what was said, and what context it was delivered and I can answer much more accurately...as it stands now, you are saying that all Republicans are guilty of something that the current republicans in the spotlight had nothing to do with.Quote:

I thought from your first post that you lived somewhere nearby, my mistake, actually its not that bad, you get used to the heat (its getting better, were getting colder and the rest of the world is melting ;) )
I've never seen a real gun. Some ppl only really understand the Middle East when they live here for a while, and most of them (westerners) dont want to go back, prior to the Iraq war many had settled down here.
@Techs
Prior to the Iraq war and prior to Sept 11, ppl generally didnt like, what I've said before, US policy towards middle east, siding with the Israelies and not helping the Palestinians out, It was great a few years ago, now were going downhill, people are angry and they know its all Bush's doing, he has the power he choose to go to war, he chooses to help the Israelies, he's pushing all the democracy crap here.
When I said 90% of ppl want him dead, take it more in terms of "removed".
Something people really hate is that the US chooses whom it deems OK to have Nukes, but if they dont like the country then theyre "terrorists", First they like Saddam, then he's public enemy No 1, then lets take the country to war to remove him. Make up your mind.
Now everyone here accepts that he had to be removed but ppl understood that the fallout would hit everyone around, look at whats happenning now, they want to bring an Arab force to Iraq to help protect the ppl, when the terrorists there are killing everyone regardless of who they are. Which Arab country do you think is going to send troops to Iraq, and for what, so that all the terrorists start coming to their countries?
If the US wants to stabilize Iraq, its about time they took all their ppl out from there.
I agree 100%Quote:

I meant the Military personnel, meatwad. Not the civilians. But it would be nice it they would leave for a while and let the country recover from a war. But ofcourse how can the US companies leave all the lucrative contracts to just anybody. They gotta overcharge the US Govt. for everything and make a profit.
Maybe because the new government would be dead in less than a week and the country would be run by terrorists?Quote:
