THE TELEVISION is an instrument of The Media, like the radio and the newspaper or magazine Etc; but the difference between the television and the others is vast, very important, and highly significant.
The media depends on two very essential senses: sight and sound; and one very important factor, time. The newspaper prints the news, events, incidents, articles, columns, facts, and information – good or bad – with pictures, when available, after it has already happened, or before it happens. Via the radio, we can only hear about what happened, has happened, is happening, or is going to happen. One depends on sight, and the other depends on sound. In very remote or isolated areas the radio can be very useful; but the people who live and work in these areas usually do not care much about what is happening or taking place elsewhere. Also, they cannot see what they hear, and people should believe only half of what they see, and nothing of what they hear. Only the TV can do the job perfectly and completely, if used properly and correctly; because it can be either a very useful tool or a highly dangerous weapon.
The advantages of the Television are: it provides us with instant information about and scenes of events, incidents, accidents, floods, hurricanes, Tsunamis, earthquakes, wars, epidemics, predicaments, disasters, and/or catastrophes that happen almost anywhere in the world – or in space, for that matter.
Through the TV, people can be entertained, enlightened, amused, informed, taught, guided, instructed, and educated. It can be used to provide accurate information about the news, or the weather – whether local or worldwide – and other useful and valuable knowledge and facts. It can be used to educate and advise the public on matters that concern their health, security, comfort, safety, and well-being; and teach preventive methods and measures against over-population, through birth-control and awareness, and highly dangerous and contagious diseases like AIDS, cancer, Encephalitis, the Ebola virus, and other several new, terrifying and horrible, and almost incurable diseases that are sprouting and popping up all over the world like mushrooms and snails after the rain. Also, terrible incurable and irreversible social diseases like drugs and alchohol abuse, sex, crime, violence, molestations, gambling, and prostitution in all its forms and guises; not to mention child abuse/molestation and exploitation – sexual and other – wife-beating, adultery, and divorce; human, human body-parts, and child-trafficking; and many others.
It can be used to entertain the public through programmes, films, shows, documentaries and serials that are well-made, informative and instructive; enlightening, amusing, and exciting; and do not contain misdemeanors, atrocities, and other disgusting immoral and harmful scenes, language, and activities. Also, the TV can be used to sway the public from one position, or opinion, or point of view, to another. In this case, if it is right, it is an advantage; if it is wrong, a disadvantage; which brings us to the disadvantages of the TV.
We cannot; in fact, we dare not fail to mention the fact that the TV can be used to misguide, misinform, and mislead the public. It can be used to misinterpret and distort facts, events, and incidents; and thereby dupe, coerce, incite, or force the public or the people to look at the matter incorrectly, and see things differently; and, as a result, to misunderstand the situation, arrive at the wrong conclusion, make the wrong decision, adopt the wrong attitude, and do the wrong thing.
A lot of people, especially children, spend a lot of time – too much, if you ask me – watching television, or playing games on computer-screens that are miniature televisions, instead of studying, reading, or doing other useful and helpful activities. Because of the television there is no more quality-time between parents and children, no more being together as a family, or as neighbours, friends, or a community; also, social fabrics and family ties have been disrupted, if not actually (almost) destroyed.
Gone forever are the times, the days and nights, or evenings of sitting on the porch, or in the garden, or in front of the house, or at the community centre, or standing at the gate or fence, or in the street, or anywhere else; conversing, exchanging views, news, and gossips; advice and complaints; comments and remarks; and sometimes discussing, or arguing about, matters that concern or involve certain individuals, or the community as a whole; and often engaging in amusing, interesting, entertaining, enlightening, and yet harmless, activities and games – if not completely gone, they're rarely seen and seldom done; and all because everybody is either at work or asleep, or glued to the (TV) screen.
Also, to top it all off, some channels, if not all, broadcast programmes, films, shows, and serials that contain ugly, horrible, terrible, dangerous, disgusting, silly and stupid, but highly contagious (post-hypnotic or post-impressive) scenes, activities, and language (messages) that are abnormal, immoral, disruptive, and harmful – to society in general, and to children in particular.
So, to sum it all up, if used correctly and properly, The Television can be a very useful, helpful, and beneficial tool or instrument; if used incorrectly and improperly, it can be a very harmful and highly dangerous weapon.
However, and but! We must not forget that governments or companies, agencies, or corporations that establish Television Channels, do so for money; in other words, it’s business; and business means/involves management, staff, employees, and workers; and these have to be, or need to be paid; also, equipment, accessories, fittings, and tools; and their servicing, maintenance, and replacement; and the only way for a business to operate, and remain in operation, is to be lucrative, and that is to make money; and the only way or means for TV Companies to make money is through advertisements; and advertisers want only one thing; and that is to reach, and convince the public – the consumers, patrons, and customers – to buy their products, dine in their restaurants, or go to see their shows or films, Etc; and the public, Etc, are made up of different people from different Religious and Ethnic backgrounds and environments; who live in different areas and in different situations and/or circumstances; with different ideas, different thoughts, and different ways of looking at things; with different wants and needs; and with different incomes.
Advertisers must reach, and convince all of these people – or as many of them as possible – by doing their best to give each of them what they want or need; show them what they want to see; tell them what they want to hear; and print what they want to read; and this makes it impossible to remain within certain rules, ethics, or principles; and governments and/or agencies Etc, cannot go into each and every community or home to supervise and/or control the viewers – whether children, adolescents, or adults – as to who should watch what. This must be done within each home, or school, or club, or camp, or wherever, by parents or guardians, or whoever is in charge, or is responsible. And this, too, is almost, if not absolutely, impossible.
So there you have it!
It’s like too many people sitting around a huge camp-fire: some are almost roasted alive – those too close to the fire – some are comfortably warm – those a reasonable distance away from it – and the rest are almost frozen to death – those too far away from it.
I ASK YOU, AND BY GOD!
SHE WAS THERE BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT THERE - FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1945, LEBANON ATTENDED AN ARAB SUMMIT BY NOT ATTENDING
HER PRESENCE SEEN AND FELT WITHOUT HER PRESENCE
DAMASCUS (Reuters): Syria promised Arab Leaders at the Arab League Summit on Saturday to cooperate in ending the political crisis in Lebanon, and regional power Saudi Arabia said it saw Damascus as the main cause of the crisis, and part of the solution.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP): In a press conference broadcast live on some Arab TVs during the Arab League summit's opening session in Damascus, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal, slammed Syria for obstructing Lebanese Peace Efforts and said that The KSA had never boycotted a summit before.
He blamed The KSA’s boycott of The Arab League Summit on Syria for not abiding by the Arab League Consensus to solve the stale-mated, dead-locked, and road-blocked presidential crisis in Lebanon, and implicitly blasted Syria for worsening most of the crises in the Middle East.
Faisal called for the Arab League to punish any and all member states that breach common resolutions or agreements since the absence of credibility and seriousness in implementing them reduce the League to A FARCE; and make fools, if not monkeys, of the other members and A SHOW-PIECE or MAJOR-MONKEY of the Secretary General. They may call it punishment or disciplinary measures or actions.
My not-so-humble comments:
For 63 years since she joined The Arab League in 1945, Lebanon attended each and every Arab League Summit in Arab cities in Arab countries all over the world; and every time she attended, she was given the usual Bull-shit Reception and Treatment: Hugs and kisses on the cheeks and a place with comfortable seats and microphones; all the while looking at her Syrian Puppet-President and his Delegation of Syrian Pawns with scorn and contempt. And when it was her turn, Lebanon’s Syrian Puppet-President made his speech; written, checked, and editted by Syria; containing pleas and requests by Syria; demanding resolutions and moves (by The Arab League) all to the benefit and in the interests of Syria. Then! Later, Iran joined the fun.
In short, dear readers and fellow-Apes; to The Arab World and the rest of the world through The Arab League, Lebanon’s Head of State, or Maronite Moron President, or Presiding Prick, according to the Gospel of Syria and Iran, was the Mouth-piece of Syria and Iran but to Syria and Iran, and to Daniel in The Lion’s Den, Lebanon’s President was Syria’s and Iran’s ASS through which they FARTED in turn!
BUT! Not that time! Fouad Saniora, Saad Harriri, and Walid Jumblatt - Sunnis and a Druze - supported by the sensible Christians (they only supported them because if they had decided to attend the Summit, they couldn’t have stopped them) decided that ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH!
SUNNIS and a DRUZE decided to seek and salvage the welfare, and protect the interests, of the Lebanese Christians in particular, especially the Maronite Morons, and all the Lebanese people in general, after they, the Maronite Morons themselves had tossed them onto the garbage-heap or rubbish-pile, if not flushed them down the drain! BY GOD!
The Christians in particular and all the Lebanese people in general, may not know or realise what Fouad Saniora, Saad Harriri, and Walid Jumblatt; supported by the sensible and patriotic Sunnis, Shiites, Druze, and Christians among the Lebanese Apes have done for them, but I, Daniel in The Lion’s Den, do! BY GOD AGAIN!
For the first time in their history, The Arab League could not avoid or ignore the presence of Lebanon in her absence. When she was there and they could all see her, she was avoided and ignored; that time, her place is empty, and because THEY COULD NOT SEE HER THERE, THEY SAW HER AND KNEW HER AND HER PLIGHT MORE AND BETTER!
The 14th March Football Team used the surest and most effective “Psychological Warfare” in its history: IT’S EITHER OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND; OR ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART AND MIND GROW FONDER AND MORE CARING!
So far the 14th March Football Team not only screwed Syria, especially Bashar Al ASS-AD, and Iran; they screwed all Syria’s and Iran’s Moles, Monkeys, Rats, Jackals, Hyenas, and FIENDS, too!
BY GOD; ONE LAST TIME! BUT! ONLY FOR NOW!
The Prime Minister: only president could represent Lebanon; blames Syria for void at Baabda Palace
The Daily Star staff Saturday, 29th March, 2008
My comments and highlights included and/or inserted
Fouad Saniora said yesterday that his government stayed away from the Arab Summit to demonstrate the Lebanese people's refusal to accept a presidential vacuum. In a televised speech, Saniora addressed the Arab community, stressing that Lebanon could only be represented by a Christian president, who would reflect the country's diversity and was the only Christian Arab President among all the various Heads of States!
Lebanon has been without a president since Emile Le-Hood stepped down at the end of his term in November last year (2007). Parliamentary sessions to elect a new head of state have been postponed on 17 occasions - by Syria’s and Iran's Champion Mole, Rat, Jackal, Hyena, and Fiend, Nabih Beriberi Berri - as part of the power struggle between the government and the opposition, which Saniora and his allies accuse of obstructing the process on behalf of Syria and Iran.
Syria obstructed the Arab initiative to end Lebanon's crisis and impeded Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa's efforts to push forward a settlement in Lebanon and yet the Arab-Jarab-League went ahead, anyway, and held the Summit in Damascus in Syria!
The Lebanese people demanded that Syria withdraw its troops from their country (2005) not to trade or exchange Syrian tutelage for any other foreign tutelage, and the Lebanese people asked for an international investigation and an international tribunal to try suspects in the murder of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri for justice and not for revenge.
Saniora said that Lebanon will no longer accept or allow Lebanon to be used as the arena - the battleground - for regional conflicts, or as the shit-house for the rest of the world!
BY GOD! Fouad Saniora and his Football Team look better and sound better to me every day! BY GOD AGAIN!
Where’s that piece-of-shit scumbag schmuck, Amine Mush-Ameen Gemaeyel? He was one of the Ass-holes who were in favour of Lebanon attending The Arab-Jarab-Summit without a Maronite Moron President!
Is it funny, or is it ironic; or frustrating and infuriating, that Fouad Saniora (Sunni) - the Prime Minister; supported of course by Saad Harriri (Sunni) and Walid Jumblatt (Druze) and Christians like Samir Geagea, Nayla Mouawad, Elias El Murr, (Michael El Murr?), (Boutros Harb?), and others - sought and salvaged the welfare, and protected the interests, of the Lebanese Christians in particular, especially the Maronite Morons, and all the Lebanese people in general, after they, the Maronite Morons themselves - Michael Aouu, Sully-man Frenzied-Frantic, Amine Mush-Ameen, and especially that bone-head, Nesa-Allah Butt-Rose Sf-Ayr had tossed them onto the garbage-heap or rubbish-pile, if not flushed them down the drain? BY GOD; ONE MORE TIME!
Dear Fouad Saniora; on behalf of the Maronite Morons in particular, and all the Lebanese in general, I thank you and congratulate you and your Football Team for your brave and noble stance against two of the world’s most formidable mad-despot-dictator-monsters: Mahmoud Adolph-Ahmedinejad and Bashar Al-ASS-AD (an AD for ASSES with both meanings: Donkey and Anus). Lebanon and the Lebanese are grateful.
Keep up the good, brave, and noble work; and fear nothing and let nothing stand in your way or hinder you and your Football Team, because a lot of us are with you all the way since not all of us are Etc and so forth and so on! BY GOD; ONE LAST TIME!
NASDAQ (RTTNews) Saturday 29th March: After the snubs by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Lebanon, Jordan inflicted further damage to Syria's tattered reputation when it announced that it would send its Arab League Representative, and not the King, to head the Jordanian delegation to the Arab Summit beginning today in Damascus.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia had previously said they would send low-level delegates to the Summit and Lebanon boycotted the summit altogether.
Heads of States or governments are expected to attend the yearly Arab League Summit in person.
To add to the Syrian discomfiture, Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, decided to skip the summit amid fighting in the southern oil port of Basra - which is being caused or instigated by Syria and Iran. There had been unconfirmed reports that Vice President, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, would attend the Summit in Syria - which is just as bad, if not worse, than if the Prime Minister attends. These Arabs always pass their left hands under their right thighs to rub or scratch their noses!
JEEZ! WHAT MORONS!
Al-Maliki has been in Basra since Monday overseeing a security crackdown against Shia militiamen led by anti-American radical-cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr - this makes one wonder where this Shukh could possibly have come from, if not from Syria’s ASS, and where he got the funds and the weapons to set up one more blemish and shame on Moslems in particular, and Islam in general, if not from Iran’s ASS!
King Abdullah II may be young but he’s got his head firmly on his shoulders and his brain in his head. This Arab League Summit should never have been allowed to take place in Syria, since Syria has never regarded The Arab League as anything but a Club-House or Whore-House for meeting, eating, drinking, shitting, pissing, and sleeping; after fornicating. Syria - from Hafez to Bashar - never respected The Arab League and has always treated this “talk first/talk last entity” as “a Chicken-Coop full of Chicks.” AND! Much as I hate to do it, I must agree and admit that Syria is right about this one thing only! I never thought or dreamt the day would come when I would agree with, or admit to, anything Syria did! BY GOD!
And some adamant asinine ass-hole obtuse and naïve morons have dared to suggest that Lebanon is missing out on her best chance - or last chance - of arriving at a solution to her present stale-mated deadlock and roadblock! HOW OBTUSE!
Let them point to, or mention, one single little thing or project The Arab League - or The UN/UNSC and The IC - ever fully did or completed! BY GOD AGAIN!

US MILITARY DEATHS IN IRAQ AT 4,004
The Associated Press via Yahoo News Alerts Thursday 27th Mar 2008
As of nag, nag, nag, at least nag, nag, nag have nag, nag, nag since the nag, nag, nag of the Iraq war in March 2003; according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes nag, nag, nag; at least nag, nag, nag died as a result of nag, nag, nag, according to The MMMMMMMMMMM-Media! One would think that the AP and all the other Media Members are starving to death the way they grasp and hold on for dear life onto such trivialities, banalities, and inanities only to fill their pages and air-time! Dear readers and fellow-Apes; I respectfully invite you (those of you who haven’t yet read it) to read my posting titled:
THE MMMMMMMMMMM-MEDIA - NO RULES, GREAT SPLOTCH
Britain: 176 deaths; Italy: 33; Ukraine: 18; Poland: 21; Bulgaria: 13; Spain: 11; Denmark: 7; El Salvador: 5; Slovakia: 4; Latvia: 3; Estonia, Netherlands, Thailand, Romania, 2 each; and Australia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, South Korea, 1 death each.
What about Friday, 28th March and Saturday, 29th and Sunday, Monday; then Tuesday, 1st April, Wednesday, Thursday; then from next Friday in April again; then from April on to May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December; that will cover 2008; then January 2009, February, and March again; then on and on and on to Judgment Day?
What is this anyway; a daily tally of deaths, or a daily din of naggings?
The total of all these deaths are less than a fraction of a fraction of the deaths that have taken place in The USA and in the other countries - from diseases; home, street, and road accidents; murders: domestic and other, daily and normal; and drug-related violence; casualties from riots and other internal strife; casualties from terrorism: suicide and other bombings; and casualties: dead, wounded, maimed-for-life and homeless from the several natural phenomena: lightning, tsunamis, floods, landslides, hurricanes, and tornadoes, that occur every year; to mention but a few!
4,004! Why, that figure is still even less than the dead, wounded, maimed-for-lfe, scarred-for-life, and traumatized-for-life on 9/11 alone!
The MMMMMMMMMMM-Media ought to know by now that, not all of us are Etc and so forth and so on; so ENOUGH HORSE-SHIT WITHOUT THE HORSE! BY GOD!
The original Daily Star headline: AOUN, MARONITE ARCH-BISHOP FIND COMMON GROUND
Both want Christian representation Daily Star staff Friday, 28th March, 2008
My version of the headline: AOUU AND MARONITE ARCH-BISON FIND COMMON GROUND
Both want Christian misrepresentation
Maronite Archbishop, Boulos Matar, briefed Maronite Patriarch, Nasrallah Butros Sfeir, on the outcome of his recent meeting with Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) leader, MP Michel Aoun, and Marada Movement leader, former MP Suleiman Franjieh. Wednesday's meeting at Aoun's residence in Rabieh was aimed at bridging the gap between Christian leaders of the opposition and the Head of the Maronite Church after relations between the two sides had recently been strained over political differences. Political Differences between Christians and the Church! BY GOD!
FPM official offal Gibran Zubran Bassil told The Daily Star…FPM low law-maker Ibrahim Kanaan Que-Anne (SHOU HMAR) told The National News Agency…the role of the Church in Lebanon, and its position towards the existing government …and the electoral law…and Christians to be truly represented in state institutions.
My comments: HORSE-SHIT! First of all, role of the Church has been reduced to Rich Beggars with Golden Bowls trudging around and about, begging for alms - attention and respect. Second of all, the Christians - the Maronite Morons and the Catholic Cat-Hole-Itches - have always been represented in State Institutions: what more representation than the Presidency? However, and but! Attention and respect are neither begged for nor asked for; they are earned! And representation isn’t the Donkey at the Donkey-Stable (Baabda Palace); it is what the Donkey says and does! In other words, Donkey is as Donkey says and does! And of all the Donkeys that ever sullied that Donkey-Stable with their rotten carcasses and even more rotten minds, speeches, and actions, Emile Le-Hood was the King Champion-Jackass of them all…so far; and not even God and all his angels and Satan and all his devils could help Lebanon or the Lebanese if, by the most mischievous and malicious twist or whims or quirks of fate, Michael Aouu became the next Champion-Jackass at the Donkey-Stable! He would make Emile Le-Hood seem like Gandhi!
Zubran and Que-Anne are ASS-ISTANT ASSES since they are each Aouu’s ASS in turn according to the Gospel of Syria and Iran; and Aouu himself is a DOUBLE-ASS, since he is Hassan Nesa-Allah’s and Nabih Berri-the-Beriberi’s ASS; and they in turn are each DOUBLE-ASSES, too, since each of them is Syria’s and Iran’s ASS in turn; Syria and Iran FART through Nesa-Allah and Beriberi in turn, and Nesa-Allah and Beriberi FART through Aouu in turn!
As for Suleiman Sully-man Frenzied-Frantic; he has always been Syria’s Jackal, Rat, and Hyena. No more mention of dogs; I had a dog once when I was very young!
Both 8th March and 14th March Football Teams are ASSES! BUT! The difference that makes all the difference is that, the 8th March Football Teams are ASSES: ANUSES, whereas the 14th March Football Teams are merely ASSES: DONKEYS!
You may ride a donkey this much, and this far; but no more, and no farther; because a donkey can be highly stubborn and highly strong-willed, especially when the path one wants to ride him on or through doesn’t please him or involves serious danger or risk; and both one and he know it! Also, you may force a donkey to the river, but you cannot force him to drink!
The mere fact that this Arch-Bison (he looks exactly like a fatted buffalo) went to that rabid-clown-comedian-creature Aouu’s residence in Rabieh for the meeting instead of ordering that mad traitor-to-his-country and betrayer-of-his-people to report at Bkerki proves that Patriarch Nesa-Allah Sfeir has now got his left hand and his right foot in THE HORSE-SHIT OF RELIGION, and his right hand and his left foot - and his nose - in THE HORSE-SHIT OF POLITICS, and he no longer knows which is which, since he shakes hands and writes with his feet, walks on his hands, talks through his ass, and farts through his mouth! Impossible, you say? I say: No! If one Nesa-Allah (Hassan) can do it, why can’t another Nesa-Allah (Sfeir) do it, too? BY GOD AGAIN!
Kofi Anomy Anomaly Abhorrent Appalling Adamant Asinine Ass-hole Anon Annan hid behind his position as the Secretary General of The UN (Ultimate Nincompoops) for years but he couldn't hide his baboon-side-and-hide and his monkey-antics as the most obnoxious mischievous malicious and devious APE that he was and still is.
I was amused and amazed, but I (especially) liked and enjoyed the way he used to raise his eyebrows, open his mouth, bare his fangs, and actually bark (like a baboon) at reporters/correspondents who often cornered him and had him by the balls, so to speak; with his back against the wall. They trod on Kofi's deformed and twisted tail and pricked the most sensitive spot on his filthy anatomy; his self-imposed and sham self-righteousness, and his resentment of, and reluctance to, answer any direct questions and accusations, supported by actual facts and evidence, with regards to the Oil-For-Food Programme or Oil-For-Food Prog my version; only one of several.
For your information, to prog is to poke or search about especially to steal, filch, beg or chance upon something profitable and for nothing my addition: Webster’s New Third Edition Unabridged International Dictionary - 3 volumes.
I waited in vain to hear one of the De-Mock-Rat-ic Pot-head Politicians of The US of AAAA say ‘he's not the King; he's the secretary general,’ but it seems such retorts are reserved for only George Bush. I salute the bold and resourceful reporters and correspondents; whoever they were and whatever their names were.
At the time, all Kofi AAAAAAAA Annan was interested in and worried about were:
1. How to avoid being indicted, tried, and convicted for the more than major role he played in the OIL-FOR-FOOD PROG and THE OTHER……
2. How to lie, cheat, steal, and spirit away as much money as possible; just in case.
If I had been or if I were The UN Secretary General; the post, not the AAAAAAAA occupying it, including and especially Ban Ki-moon-to-the-moon, I would take the fact that, after setting up the International Investigation Team to probe and delve into Rafik Al Harriri's murder, Syria and her Lebanese partners-in-crime went on to murder Samir Kaseer, George Hawwi, and Gebran Tueni; almost finished off Elias El Murr and May Chediac (she might as well be dead), and ended up by murdering Pierre Gemaeyel and Atoine Ghanem, not to mention all the innocent civilians and passers-by that died when they were murdered and all the other bombings - before and after - that also caused a lot of deaths, destruction and/or damages, and…only God knows who else is next on the black list; and right under the UN's collective noses, so to speak; as an intolerable and insupportable insult and affront to The UN, and do what The UN was/is required and supposed, and what it was set up, to do. However, what is going on is very plain and clear; at least, to me, Daniel in The Lion’s Den.
For your information, dear readers and fellow-Apes, if it hadn’t been for their fear of the fact that it would have caused a world-wide uproar and been the end of The UN, Kofi AAAAAAAA Annan and The UN would have handed Lebanon over to Syria on an old rusted and dirty tin-tray
KOFI ANNANS’ AND THE UN’S AND THE ARAB LEAGUES’ LEGACY
IRAN and IRAQ are two of the original State Members of The UNITED NATIONS and yet all through the terrible war between these two states – albeit trouble-makers; both of them – The UN did nothing, even though it could and should have done everything. I can still see, with my mind’s eyes, the hundreds of thousands of IRANIAN youths – all of them in their teens and even below – barely able to hold the rifles that had been thrust into their hands, crying while rushing to their deaths - screaming Allah-U-Akbar before they set off, and Mama when they got half-way - with the keys to paradise hung around their necks and an engraved pass in the pockets of their tunics; signed and sealed by the late Ayatollah Khomeni, who ordered them to their deaths with his blessings - I wonder how many virgins that heartless and mindless Khomeni got for such a feat!
IRAQ and IRAN are two of the original State Members of THE UN and The ARAB LEAGUE and both of these organisations either stood by, or sat by, and played with their toes and looked on with one eye, and looked the other way with the other eye, while IRAQ and IRAN slaughtered, butchered, and mutilated each other.
The late Saddam Hussein used IRAQ – and KUWAIT, too, for a while – as his own personal properties and as his stomping grounds, and treated the IRAQIS and the KUWAITIS as his own personal slaves, and that sorry and miserable state of affairs would have continued to date if The USA and BRITAIN and the coalition forces had not intervened and done what they had to do and what was necessary, AND! What were, in fact, the duties and the functions, and the actual reasons and purposes for the existence of, The UN and THE ARAB LEAGUE in the first place!
I TELL YOU! AND BY GOD!
LEBANON – JEEZ! – was one of the original State Members of both The UN and THE ARAB LEAGUE (1945) and yet both these miserable and useless, but highly costly organizations or entities, in cahoots with The USA and her allies – the NATO countries – plus The UNSC and the whole IC stood or sat by and looked on with one eye, and looked the other way with the other eye, while SYRIA stomped on and ran amok in LEBANON for almost four decades; and looked the other way with one eye, and looked on with the other eye, while IRAN set up her instruments of war, anarchy, chaos, and havoc – not to mention death and destruction; fear, pain, and sorrow; disruption, displacement, dispersion, anxiety, frustration, misery, and despair: HEZBALLAH and AMAL, and only God knows who else
