2009/12/5-26 [Politics/Domestic/911, Recreation/Humor] UID:53568 Activity:nil | 12/4 you know the 1999 ending of ST:DS9 shows the protagonists working
as terrorists, and all worried about a police state coming for the
federation. Funny timing, no?
\_ At that point in time there was a bit of sympathy people were

friends turned out to be Jews. And I am fortunate to have
opportunity to work with whole bunch Israelis and working with them
has been an absolute pleasure. HOWEVER, I just failed to understand
why people got offended by the speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In my
relatively neutral point of view (I am an Asian), most of what he

that Muslims are desperate because of the poor conditions they

improve their conditions, then they would not grow up to be suicide
bombers, goes the thinking, because they would have something to
live for. Now that MDs are blowing themselves up can we at least

2007/4/5-7 [Politics/Foreign/MiddleEast/Israel] UID:46204 Activity:very high | 4/5 What do you think about Pelosi's Middle East diplomatic efforts?
Yay Nancy? Violation of Separation of Powers? Good job? Naive and

the motd. It feels like the pink elephant in the room. No one

continue to this day?
