The 'okays' of politics.

- it is okay to wage a war based on a hunch, that there are weapons of mass destruction
- but it is only okay to do that if you are the president of the united states
- it is okay to win an election, by the way, after you waged such war
- it is perfectly clear that the kuwaiti government is corrupt..
- but the US? even on the same case that deems the kuwaiti govt as corrupt? oh no, the US gets a pass
- in 40 yrs time, someone will write "The then United States adminstration had the liberty to say, do and or claim anything. Not because of its possession of all that is media related and, thus, global opinion; but because the then Kuwaiti people excused it of any wrong doing. Even when, at the time, the Kuwaiti people have sprung up in protest to issues which were in one way or another related to that single case which deemed the Kuwaiti government as corrupt."
- terrorism takes only one form.. and that is the form of declaring-you-are-a-terrorist-on-a-videotape
- it is not cool whatsoever to ask "if those guys can allegedly put planes into buildings, dont they have dvd recorders or something?"
- sadam 7sain goes to trial .. and still comes on top because he's making a mockery of it all .. and mr president insists on this being,, mm,, justice? .. what would texas ranger chuck norris say?
- it is not "cool" or .. "hip" .. or .. "politically correct" - so it seems - to start your speech by "besmelah elra7man elra7eem, wel salat wel salam 3ala ashraf el khalg wa a3tham el morsaleen nabeyena mo7amad salla allah 3laih o aaleh o sa7beh ajme3een .. "
- why? well, because you can say "besmelah el ra7man elra7eem, bedayatan wedy akheth la7tha lel do3a' bel shefa' el3ajel ela 7abeebena wa mongethena wa manaarrena wa 3ezwatona wa man-kaadda-an-yakoon-nabeyyena-lawwla-el-7arraj a7mad el rub3y" .. it's what gets you elected,, salemly 3ala elsani3
- when you grow up and become the president of the united states, you get to say something like "diplomacy is a waste of time", get away with it, then have the biggest "inventory" of nuclear weapons/technology, and tell the world that any non-pro-business 'sovereign states' may not have any nuclear technology because you fear for the safety of .. the planet, i guess
- when you do grow up, become the president of the united states, say all that, you will be too smart to believe any of it .. but you're too smart you say it in a way that convinces people to back you up
- just like in the movies, all the good guys come from the united states, and all the bad guys want to blow up the united states .. even Superman knows that
- israel gets to launch strikes on a whole region/country for one "kidnapped" soldier .. keyword: soldier, the quotes tamweeh .. and they are excused
- sure, kidnapping isn't exactly the nicest thing to do if you want to negotiate over a cup of tea .. but what about all the murdered palestinian children? "it's a casualty of war" they say (and some kiddos over here say "gal3athom ewgefaw thidna bel ghazo") .. but apparently, holding someone, correction: a soldier, hostage excuses a raid
- to recap: kill children, and you get to say something like "it's a war" .. your killing springs the holding a soldier hostage: go kill more children, and say it's a war
- for the record: fuck 7amaas, but fuck the zionists a tad more .. or a lot more for that matter
- lesaan 7aal "nabeha khamsa" fema yet3alag b 7adas: "bel amse kano ma3y, wal yawm gad ra7alo"
