From the weblog "A Collection of Thoughts"

I came along this site on the net and found some of the entries to be quite interesting and thought I would pass them along.
Obstacles Arabs Have Erected for Themselves.
The following points were originally published in the New York Post, the article has been removed from their web site. For all of the oil revenue that has flowed into the wealthier Arab countries, consider the overall state of the Arab world:

It does not produce a single manufactured product of sufficient quality to sell on world markets.
Arab productivity is the lowest in the world.
It contains not a single world-class university.
The once-great tradition of Arab science has degenerated into a few research programs in the fields of chemical and biological warfare.
No Arab state is a true democracy.
No Arab state genuinely respects human rights.
No Arab state hosts a responsible media.
No Arab society fully respects the rights of women or minorities.
No Arab government has ever accepted public responsibility for its own shortcomings.

I have to rant. I am sick of tired of their shit. I am. They obviously have a multitude of problems and apparently refuse to accept responsibility for their actions. Their leaders blame my Country and the West for all of their woes. The news articles about the situation in Iraq yesterday were absolutely disgusting. Iraqis going around demanding the death of all Americans in Iraq. Stating that one Iraqi is worth forty Americans. What really gets me is that they talk so much about their God and their religion, damn near everything supposedly offends them. But think about this, people who thrive on death, who love death and talk about killing all the time - then in the same breath they want to preach about how holy they are? Sounds like BS to me. Sort of like taking theology lessons from Charles Manson. Their religion is a cult, not much different from a Satanic Cult - is how it appears to me. God does not order/direct people to kill others. In fact, the taking of a life is a mortal sin. Judging by the news story I linked to just above, these people are wacked out, demented, nuts, crazy. One more thing, why do A-Rabs and Muslims or whatever they call themselves, constantly jabber about "holy wars?" Is it possible for them to declare and engage in an un-holy war? Newsflash: Wars are not holy. They are not sacred and do not come from God. As for the mosque, the U.S. military has denied attacking it. According to the ROE, religious places of worship are off limits. They should entertain the notion that perhaps someone who wanted to cause trouble bombed the mosque knowing that the half wits in Fallujah would blame us.

LIFE AFTER HUSSEIN: Iraq chaos is 'like the Wild West'

Frequent attacks and death daily. I guess it does sound like the early days of the west.
FALLUJAH, Iraq -- U.S. soldiers walked slowly past the mosque, looking up at its tower and blue mosaic tile. Their machine guns pointed out toward the night, they passed in and out of darkness, with dim streetlights casting long shadows.
Fallujah is a sweltering city on the bank of the Euphrates, and at 1:30 a.m., the temperature was about 100 degrees. Sweat was dripping down 1st Lt. Eric Moberley's neck as he made his way up one alley after the other.
"Ever since the war ended, the action started," Moberley said. "I don't see an end to it all any time soon. . . . It's like anarchy. The police don't do anything. They won't go out at night because they're afraid."
Moberley and his fellow soldiers, of the Army's 101st Airborne Division, were brought in to help the 3rd Infantry Division get the town under control. The 3rd Infantry itself came to town to relieve the 82nd Airborne Division, which had problems, including a late April demonstration in which at least 12 residents were shot and killed.
