Iran's Missles

This thread is treading dangerously close into the politics and religion territory.  

Fair warning.

Saudi Arabia is not a knight is shining armor. They sided with the Coalition because a peaceful country was invaded by a hostile one. Iraq. Iraq would have controlled the Kuwaiti oil fields, thus cutting the knees out from under OPEC, Saudi Arabia, and probably the rest of the Western world. Not to mention the Republican Guard was pretty oppressive against their 'brothers.'

Brian, the points you mention about SA being motivated by politics and economic interests is EXACTLY what I mean. It is a perfect example of how Muslim countries do not automatically side with each other against Western countries. their assistance of the Coalition in waging war against Muslim neighbors AND the fact that they allowed Coalition (nonbelievers) forces into the their own territory is a big deal. Many other countries were angry with them for siding with non-believers against Muslims and ESPECIALLY for allowing them to make use of the Muslim Holy Land (the Hijaz region in SA).

And Bass-Brat, I do not think that "they just don't plain like each other". Most muslims don't hate Christians, and the ones that do are mostly manipulated by religious leaders who want to keep control over their followers and create an enemy to unify their supporters. You may think it may never end, and that is a sad opinion, but that is all it is.

My "sad opinion" is based on historical fact . What is your opinion based on ?

[Glenn]

Opinions are just that - OPINIONS.  So what if somebody's OPINION doesn't agree with your OPINION.  Does that mean you have to rush out and try to change their OPINION?

Nope.

Don't start poking people and try to stir up something because you don't agree with their OPINION. I'll end up locking it down because those fights always end up getting nasty.

This subject has been beat to death anyway.  Anything that was going to be said has been said.  Time to wak away from it unless you have something truly unique, different, and enlightening for us all.

Done deal.........No more missles.
