Re: "and Damascus shall become a ruinous heap"-The Bible

vtool,
some of what you say rings true to me. trouble is my friend you can bloody well
blame your own government. in the early fifties BRITAIN was in EGYPT fighting a war.
the outcome would have been inevitable,but NO the USA told the brits to get out.
what happened after that? ABDUL NASSER become an iconic figure, got all the ARAB
nations behind him and set up his own stall. first they closed the SUEZ CANAL.
they simply charged shipping to go through.from then on OIL prices started to rise.
the MIDDLE EAST is now dictating terms to everybody, with threats of BOMBING anyone
who dare to stand up to them. BUSH SNR. went to WAR, WON but stopped at the CITY GATES, his SON then went and really MUFFED it up with 'SUPER WEAPONS'. he now holds
with us brits 'a TIGER by the TAIL.
us BRITS learnt our lesson with the IRISH (who were being supplied money by you NICE AMERICANS). we knew it was necessary to cure the problem politically, but NO
you had to keep the fire burning. we no need to worry about the 'devil' vtool your making a good job of it! Tom.
