You should go to Saudi Arabia and start publishing a newspaper. When you criticize the government, the CIA-trained US tax-payer funded secret police will arrest and torture you, then shut your news paper down.

Then you can start operating a radio station, and when you criticize the government, the CIA-trained US tax-payer funded secret police will arrest and torture you, then shut your radio station down.

Then you can start operating a TV station, and when you criticize the government, the CIA-trained US tax-payer funded secret police will arrest and torture you, then shut your TV station down.

The only place you can go where you can criticize the government and not get arrested and tortured would be a mosque, since the government can't exactly shut them down without starting a civil war.

When you get bored, you can go to Jordan, but too bad you can't vote in any parliamentary elections since King Abdullah dissolved the parliament, because, well, you know, it's what a US-backed democratic country does. And when you criticize the goverment, you can get arrested and tortured by the CIA-trained US tax-payer funded secret police.

Then you'll be able to see how Jordan spends the $Billions it gets from the US (1/6th of Jordan's GDP is US tax payer government aid).

And then you can go to Egypt and do it all again.

If we remain true to our character we'll do like we did in WWII ... the last real conflict where we were in peril .

We utterly destroyed our enemies withour mercy ... that kind of action would be what the roaches would fear most!!!!!


Get real Mr. President!!!!

He has said nothing since his election of note or enlightening. He talks out of both sides of his mouth.

He looks good when he is delivering a speech and speaks well. That is about all I can give him.

Right, because if he responded as he felt you would change your opinion.
