After September 11, 2001, it suddenly became important to count terrorist attacks accurately. That was the only way to get a sense of how large, and where, the problem was.
But there were problems. Take organized crime, for example, where terrorism is just another tool. Terrorism is regularly practiced by organized criminal groups. That's how the famous ones, like the mafia, or the Russian or Colombian gangs, make money and maintain discipline. What separates "terrorist organizations" from criminal gangs is ideology and goals. Organized crime groups just want to make money. Islamic terrorists, however, have other goals. In this case, imposing Islam on the entire world. Making money using criminal methods is a means to an end for them, not an end in itself.
Keep in mind that terrorist acts are a constant, and most of these actions are carried out by criminals in pursuit of a payday. Political or religious terrorists are using similar terrorism to either attract attention, as a fund raising tool, or a weapon to win concessions from governments.
So we have terrorism divided by goal (power or money). But much of the terrorism in the world is mainly about power (getting it, or holding on to it.) In many parts of the world, political power is obtained, and retained, by using gangs of terrorists. Nothing new there, the ancient Romans, and many before them, used political gangs, and terrorism, to achieve political goals. This works in democracies as well as dictatorship (Saddam had street gangs to keep hostile Iraqis under control.)
In many parts of the world, political and criminal (just for the money) terrorism are combined, as an extortion/vote getting act. Analysts often have to flip a coin to decide which act of terrorism is pure terrorism, and which is simply criminals doing business.
The "Awakening" in Iraq was simply the US paying the iraqi gangs to work for us. Now that the US is leaving Iraq the Iraqis have to come to some new "arrangements" with the Sunni gangs and extortioners. The US is leaving and the extortioners and kidnappers and rapists have to be paid...or shot in the head. The Iraqis are strong enough now to figure its just a more cost effective thingy to shoot the Sunnis in the head. America waves bye bye and leaves the Iraqis to deal with Iraqi problems the Iraqi way. We have the Bases, after all and are moving out of the cities.
The OiL money will keep the 100,000 mercenaries paid and the Iraqi politicians will keep the OiL money flowing through their pockets so the whole process will keep make them and their constituencys rich. That isnt going to change. And the Bases will be there to make sure the politicians HAVE a pocket. If the Iraqi politicians give us a problem with the Bases we give them a problem with their pocket. That's the game right there.
My oldest sister was a baby in a bombed out train near Jessore when my father found her in a boggey while he was scouting the advance of Brig. General Raina's Second Armor.
Raina took Dacca about fifteen days later and hauled in 93,000 Paki prisoners. My dad carried little Indira around in his Recon unit jeep for nine days feeding her goat's milk and whipped bananas and using his spare shirts to cloth her. She was five months old and survived. Today she is a Library Supervisor in Mongomery Co. Maryland and has a son who is my nephew. She is married to a man who is in the Secret Service and they live in Bethesda.
Bhutto poisoned Tikka Khan and took over the government. After the war was lost and Mujibar Rahman was elected head of East Pakistan and changed the name to BanglaDesh...Bhutto was sent to prison and hanged.
I am informed about it because its part of my familys history. My father made his living off the wars. He went to Afghanistan next after BanglaDesh and drove 81mm mortar ammo out of Lahore for an East German Trucking Co ( that's how he learned how to run a trucking company and organized one in Pakistan about 5 years ago and then sold to the Omanis who backed him..my mother's people)...The East German was named Dieter and he absolutely HATED the Russians. Dieter had settled in Lahore, Pakistan and never forgiven the Russians for kicking out all his teeth. Dieter had an entire mouth of stainless steel teeth courtesy of East German dentistry in 1949.
Dad had brought little Indira home to Mom here to raise as he later brought home little baby Audrey who he got from his friend Anthony who ran a Leper Colony in Calcutta. My older sister Deepa was born about that time and then in 1980 I came along last. Dad was in Uganda at that time supplying Musevini with Israeli arms and technical support.
Dad is old now and coaches a Country Club Women's Competition Trap Shooting Team. He also is working to develope a couple city blocks of real estate in the outer metropolitan part of Atlanta adjacent to Fort McPherson. That's how I got elected as Vice President of the Sylvan Hills Neighborhood Assoc. They are holding elections for President in December. I will probably take that when the present incumbent moves up to head the Sylvan Hill Neighborhood PLANNING assoc. That's one step away from running a City Council seat...and (if you have enough money) can spring board to the Georgia Legislature. From there you need big money and can run for the Senate of the United States. All conjecture of course.
All I do is handle little matters like liquor licenses and who gets building permits, and fining people who come in from Gwinnett Co. to dump tires on vacant lots. But I do my bit.
What we are waiting for is over the next 24 months the price of land in Sylvan Hills going way up due to a big IT Corp. moving into the old 8th Army HQ which was hooked up for worldwide communications. There will be big money, tens of millions of dollars into Sylvan Hills property. Dad has City Council partners and I am doing my bit with the local police as well. Hi!, howarya? That sort of thing. Some places dont have liquor licenses and some places do drugs. I can be an enormous help with that and we can clean Sylvan Hills up one place at a time. People who cause problems will just have to move. That can be arranged.
It doesnt have to be fair, it just has to happen.

American as it gets. I aint no towel head. And I'm what you get when you raise an Arab in the United States as a Roman Catholic from an Omani mother who was glad to get out of Islam and put on some serious Dolly Parton.
Did US Army Ranger training at Fort Merrill and got a scholarship out of it.
216 Lbs. and six five and you can kiss my arse if you are a towelie.
Islam is So yesterday. I want a big family and I want sons. The future is USA all the way.
Iran is coming apart at the seams. And Osama is so far back in the dark he's sucking for air. Islam is disunited and Israel wins all their wars and the raggie Palestinians piss themselves in Gaza.
What's not to like?

I have been a Roman Catholic all my life. My mom converted to Catholic before I was born. Never have been a Moslem. My best friend is Heshem, his dad was 5th Special Forces and his mother is an Egyptian. She is very good Moslem, but as far as I know Heshem has never been in a Mosque in his life. His wife Lila is Iranian, but I dont know if they are practicing Moslems. I have never seen any sign of that.
I got a sister who is a Contemplative Dominican Nun studying in Rome.
Muslim beard? Its like my father's beard except his is white and longer and he shaves his head. I have a refrigerator full of Beer. My dad has a Still(An apparatus for distilling liquids, such as alcohols, consisting of a vessel in which the substance is vaporized by heat and a cooling device in which the vapor is condensed) and has about 40 gallons of Moonshine set aside. We are going up to the Still last week of June . The Moonshine is about three years old. He made it himself back about 2005 sometime. Actually he made 80 gallons but he drank forty gallons already.... about ten gallons a year.
Its very good stuff. He promised to teach me how. He built the copper pot himself and replaces the coil every year. Corn liquor flavored with apples and peaches. make about four successive runs on the original Mash and then refines it with Spring water to bring the proof down to 85 or 90.
My father spent a few years working in Oman in Security for Sultan Quabus Said bin Taimur and he practiced being a Moslem for that and everybody believed in him. He got a Moslem wife and then they came to the US and two years later she quit being Moslem and converted to Catholic. My father never believed in Islam, he just does self interest, as soon as he came back to the US he shucked(Informal. Something worthless. Often used in the plural: an issue that didn't amount to shucks.
) Islam like a dirty pair of socks.
My dad had been in a Cistercian Monastery for a couple of years, but they kicked him out for fighting and recommended he join the US Marines. He spent seven years in Vietnam and worked military for Laos and Cambodia doing "security".
Moved onto BanglaDesh for their war...then to Pakistan and Afghanistan and finished up in Oman. Then a few years later did Uganda and then the last three years in Iran....doing trucking and shipping.
My Mom's relatives in Oman bankrolled him, they moved guns from the Iraq surplus connections through Kuwait to Iran.
Dad supplied the Baluchs through Zahedan by truck and thru Jask for shipping.
He swears he stayed out of the drug business, but all his best customers were into Heroin for the Iranian market. Dad sold them their trucks too...and armed them. He sold his interests in the trucking and shipping to Omani relatives and used his cut to buy land here in Georgia. He is in Real Estate "development" now.
He also has a hobby as Coach for a Womens Country Club Competitive Trap Shooting Team. He handles their tours. Really rich women with rich alpha husbands who play golf and sail and enjoy the good life and have money to invest.
Dad is good with that sort of people. I am handling some of his real estate, he got me a position as Vice Pres. of the Atlanta Sylvan Hills Neighborhood Assoc.
I will be the next Pres. come December when we have the next Election.
I figure within three years I should be doing quite well with the opportunities. I want to buy my own land in Montana. I will be going out to Montana this Fall...I promise to post pictures.

Back ( about six years ago?) before I got married I was living in a place called A&P Lofts( Google it in Atlanta if you like) and sold that and sold another house I owned in Grant Park which I got when I moved out of the Loft I had near Georgia Tech.
I lived with two girls when I was at Tech. They were my "roommates", which was a leaky huge warehouse I had converted into living space...imagine having a living room aboouuut 90 feet long and 70 feet wide with a refrigerator and a bed and a few lamps you could move around...and a toilet in the stairwell. The bed was a big bed.
The girls followed me to the Grant Park house and I sold it to them after we shared that for a year or so. I got married last year in June and Charlene conceived about June 12th or 13th and we have a little baby girl now named Nicole Elizabeth...who is now about three months old and doing well. I bought a new house at Lost Mountain off Old Dallas Hwy. and used the money from the Loft equity and the house in Grant park that I sold to the two girls who were living with me there.
They came to me recently to ask about helping them get a loan to pay off the money they owe me for the Grant Park house. So I have been talking to a Bank Loan officer about the economy and the new loan practices. He is my friend and quite candid with me. He says the present loans being offered are small payment loans for 36 month with a big "Balloon" payment at the end of the 36 months.
he says he thinks in three years that there will be a lot of defaults on these loans and that we will have another situation like we presently enjoy. Consequently I am advising the girls to apply for a different type of loan which will be less risky for them and for me. They both have good jobs. Grace has gone into corporate redecorating and is doing well...and Mandy( is getting fat and has a drinking problem) is working for Gwinnet County Social Services. Mandy has a bottle of Wild Turkey in the bathroom she uses for mouthwash.( I did the right thing getting out of that menage(People living together as a unit; a household.
)) BUT They are well able to meet my note. And I am making about $65/hour for my work time..plus what Charlene makes working at Canton Bank. Charlene and I make nearly a hundred thou between us a year. Its comfortable. I want to make more.
And the real estate work will begin to bring in much more money than that within another 24 months. The price of land in Sylvan Hills is going to go up with the big IT Corp settling in to the Fort Mac's old 8th Army Worldwide Communications Complex. I own 25 acres in strategic places in Sylvan Hills. I want to get more.
The US economic situation will be fitful and I dont thik it will improve over the next four years...Obama is screwed. There is no way Skinny will ever get re-elected. The economy wont start to climb again until about 2014. But it will and Atlanta is going to grow and Sylvan Hills is going to be very productive.
I will control HOW Sylvan Hill grows. The 3rd District of the Atlanta Council is seated in Sylvan Hills, its Representative lives there. The Chief Of Police and two senior officers for the Precinct live there also. I see them every first Monday of the month and we discuss the crime statistics and I put them into a computer module.
We know where the crime is, its patterns and where the people live who cause us problems. We know the businesses which cause us problems. WE co-operate to make life difficult for the places and people who we dont want to live in Sylvan Hills.
There are six Churches( all Protestant ) in the area. One Catholic Church( St. Anthony )...One elementary school K-5( Charter School) . Five plants and factories...soap, porcelain industrial fittings, Kraft, SE Bottling Company and other smaller businesses. We control the liquor licenses and the building permits.
We decide if a bar can open or a restaurant can serve beer and liquor. If the filling stations have pan handlers or allow crimes on their properties...we know about that. Osborne St. has drug dealing and gangs. ( its localised and controlled) We harass them twice a month with road blocks and traffic checks...its hurts their business at peak time. There is a lot to do.
I will move to Montana in about five years and this place can take care of itself after that, but I will make a very nice profit here before I do go.
Dad can sell his stuff when the profit brings the prices up. The values should be 20 to a hundred times greater than the back taxes we paid for the properties. I want a big place in Montana...the economy will pick up eventually. Until then I am set with the way I have it now.

The challenge for the Middle East is analogous to our own prior war with Hitler who sought to redefine Western culture along some racial notion of a pure Volk long ago unspoiled by Romanizing civilization.
Proving the West was not about race or some notion of an ubermenschen(
Übermensch
The ‘superman’ or ‘overman’ of Nietzsche's ethical vision. The Übermensch transcends the boundaries of classes, creeds, and nationalities; he overcomes human nature itself, and maintains a lordly superiority to the normal shackles and conventions of social life. Although Nietszche connects the character with Aristotelian virtue, the vision is essentially Romantic when Aristotle's is not. The idea of a transfiguring freedom finds more pessimistic echoes in the existentialist doctrine that existence precedes essence. See also will to power.
) ruling class did not require an “internal dialogue,” much less another religious reformation, but the complete annihilation of Nazism.
We are going to need wars in the Middle East. The muz wont do it themselves.
So it must be with the latest fad (A fashion that is taken up with great enthusiasm for a brief period of time; a craze.)of radical Islamofascism. Contrary to popular opinion, there has not been a single standard doctrine of hatred in the Middle East. And Islamofascism isnt new either. Radical Islam is just the most recent brand of many successive pathologies, not necessarily any more embraced by a billion people than Hitler’s Nazism was characteristic of the entire West.
In the 1940s the raging -ism in the Middle East was anti-Semitic secular fascism, copycatting Hitler and Mussolini — who seemed by 1942 ascendant and victorious. The Arabs ate it up and licked their big moustaches.
Between the 1950s and 1970s Soviet-style atheistic Baathism and tribal Pan-Arabism were deemed the waves of the future and unstoppable. Arabs were going gobbels gobble for that one too.
Goebbels, Paul Joseph ˈgǝbǝlz (1897-1945) minister of propaganda for the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler. Goebbels, born in Rheydt, Germany, was largely responsible for creating the mythic Führer hailed by the German people. A gifted orator and formidable journalist, Goebbels also used his considerable powers to control the press, radio, theater, and films. He killed himself and his family after the German defeat.
By the 1980s Islamism was the new antidote (A remedy or other agent used to neutralize or counteract the effects of a poison.) for the old bacillus (Any of various rod-shaped, spore-forming, aerobic bacteria of the genus Bacillus that often occur in chains and include B. anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax.
Any of various bacteria, especially a rod-shaped bacterium) of failure and inadequacy. The limp dick Arab wanted some. He would get his “respect” back. They are always looking for that lost respect.
Each time an -ism was defeated, it was only to be followed by another — as it always is in the absence of free markets and constitutional government.
Saddam started out as a pro-Soviet Communist puppet, then fancied himself a fascistic dictator and pan-Arabist nationalist, and ended up building mosques, always in search of the most resonant strain of hatred.
Arafat was once a left-wing atheistic thug. When the Soviet Union waned, he dropped the boutique socialism, and became a South-American-style caudillo. At the end of his days, he too got religion as the Arab Street turned to fundamentalism and Hamas threatened to eat away his support.
The common theme is not the Koran, but the constant pathology of the Middle East — Moslem gender apartheid, Moslem polygamy, Moslem religious intolerance, moslem tribalism, no freedom, a censored press, an educational system of brainwashing rather than free inquiry — that lends itself to the next cult to explain away failure and blame the West, which always looms as both whore and Madonna to the Arab Street.
Iraq has inadvertently become the battleground of a long overdue reckoning, a bellwether of the future of the Middle East. If the constitutionalists win, then the jihadists will be in retreat and there will be at last a third way between radical Islam and dictatorship.
In Iran, at present, we are seeing basic Human Nature yearning for Freedom. They wont get it from the Moslem Mullahs. And they wont get it from the "Messiah" in Washington DC who wouldnt fight for his own mother if she were being raped. He's just a pinkboy mouth who likes to pose as "the One" but cant deliver.
Skinny's not going to make it...even the Press is starting to fall out of love with him now. And everyone in the US just saw Prance blink when he had to stand up for Liberty and be counted.
Obama's Foreign Policy is going to rise or fall on his dealing with Iran. And Pinkboy just blew it.

A&P Lofts
4 star rating
Neighborhood: Reynoldstown
881 Memorial Dr
Atlanta, GA 30316
(404) 584-1992
www.aandplofts.com/
Though they aren't located in the prettiest part of town (the corner of Memorial in a rougher section of the development), it's a smart buyer who knows that in 3-5 years this whole section of town will be completely renovated and installed with flashy businesses. This place is an investment for certain.
Unfortunately, right now, driving up to the A&P building makes it seem a little rough. The road is messy and basically everything is under construction. Even the outside of the building is a little basic: just squared off concrete with huge windows.
On the inside, though, these loft apartments are actually quite nice. Spacious and wood-floored with enormous windows and modern kitchens: all the stops. I went to a party here once and was quite impressed with the look of it all.
I believe they are 75% sold right now, but there are still some great deals in this building. Definitely worth checking out as an investment.
I realized $143,000 on the place I had. I used the money to buy a five bedroom home outside Atl. in a place called Lost Mountain off Old Dallas Hwy.

A&P Lofts.
I bought mine and resold it for a nice profit in a year before the market turndown. I also got a $53,000 off my purchase price of the Lost Mountain house bring it down to $300,000 when the housing market was just beginning to scare the owners enough to grant me the discount. You CAN profit both ways if you think.
A&P LOFTS
881 Memorial Drive SE
Atlanta, Georgia
Number of Units in Development: 60
Description: Miller-Gallman Developers has converted the historic A & P Warehouse and Bakery at 881 Memorial Drive into 60 loft apartments. Located at the convergence of Grant Park, Reynoldstown and Cabbagetown, it is convenient to Interstate 20 and downtown Atlanta.
The A & P Warehouse and Bakery building was completed in 1930. A & P then moved their southeastern operations there where they remained until 1963. The bakery remained in operation at this location until 1976 where the smell of fresh baked bread permeated the building and the area. The red brick and concrete exterior with glass brick fill is a fine example of a pure modernistic building, typical for its time, the interior has mushroom columns that decrease in circumference with every floor. Because the building has no unnecessary adornment it has a very clean, streamlined look. The roof is flat and a large rooftop observation area has been added that provides an unobstructed view of the Atlanta skyline. One of the penthouse units (loft #319) has a private rooftop deck and a number of other units have private patios.
These units range in size from 800 to nearly 2000 square feet with rents starting at $850.00. Unlike new construction, conversions of this type result in unique lofts whose space and features are crafted to utilize the historic elements of the building. Miller - Gallman Developers, LLC is a master in creating a unique and functional living environment within the confines of a historic building.
there was a nice brick back balcony on my place and a parking garage space.
there was an observation deck and garden on the roof with a beautiful view. My place was premium and was in quick demand. I sold before the slump began and took the money and ran. I only had it for a year. I sold the house in Grant Park to Grace and Mandy. Between the sale of both properties I was able to afford the house in Lost Mountain the year before I got married.

Dad, Mom & Sisters
A whole lot of questions, Thal. Shall I answer them all? That would be an undertaking indeed.
Beard first. Its easy to grow a beard. Just dont shave. A lot of women like beards and find them quite attractive. I have heavy thick hair and grow a nice beard quickly.
dad can dress like a Paki or an Afghan, has the beard, and can quote the Koran and speaks the language. He even smells the same and walks like one. I have seen him put on their clothes and in the time it takes him to turn around once he is exactly what he looks like jabbering at you for a deal. You want to buy a donkey and ride him to Mecca? dad's that way.
I think I have grown a beard because my father has one. He's had one all his life, I have seldom seen him without one. He looks unlike "himself" without one. He shaved it off three years ago when he went down to Eglin to get a military Commission with the Special Forces. They recruited him in Washington DC the year previous( 2004) along with about 8,000 other men who had previous military service, certain combat specilaties, and knew languages in the Middle East. They sent dad to Fort Bragg for the physical training and then to Fort Lewis for Intelligence school. then they sent him to Pakistan in 2005. When Bush went to Karachi, dad was there and then he vanished into Iran. Ask Canuck. He smelled a rat the day it happened.
Dad knows about three languages besides English. That sounds fantastic for an American , but as anyone who knows Europeans its not an unusual thing to find some people who can do it easily. I have a friend who is a Ukrainian who speaks beautiful English, Polish and a fluent Russian. My father's brothers children speak Swiss, French, Norwegian, and Mandarin Chinese.
They grew up overseas as children and then went back when they were adults with their own families.
My fathers younger brother and his children work for the CIA. The family is two generations in that work. They married wives who were CIA as well. Intelligence work and languages are natural in his family.
Dad lived in Asia most of his life, he grew up over there as a child, his father was a Military Attache' in Europe during WW2. He went out to Asia after the war when he flew against the Chicoms in Korea. By that time he had gotten into codes and went from there into Communications and Intelligence work.It was an easy jump, as Electronics came along he built his career in long range communications. He got to be a Colonel in Intelligence.
My dad was in VietNam and went into Intell as well on his second tour...he was assigned to security to the family of the CIA head of Station in Danang, his brother went into Paratroops with the Rangers in VietNam and later because of language ability went into CIA and was posted to China for 16 years, his wife was CIA also and all his three children went into CIA when they grew up.
As the family driver for the CIA head of Ops in Danang dad got easy training and good connections among high ranking Intell people from all over Asia. He spent the rest of his life working military security until he met my mother in Oman.
My mom's family are former ministers to Sultan Quabus Said bin Taimur. They handled Import/Export for Oman. It was a family thing. I was over there when I was about 18 when I went to my grandmother's funeral and got to travel and see the family who live in Salaleh. They are an old family with a history in Arab trade that goes back at least 400 years. Piracy naturally. My mother's brothers are all pretty much pirates but they wear tuxedos and have a large staff to handle their appointments. I named my own daughter after the Queen of Sheba who had the personal name "Nicole" as you may know. Its an Arab name.
My wife is Black, she was born in Alabama and her father is a Pharmacist. Her mother is dead and she looks Ethiopian, very light skin but very elegant and tall with straight hair. Very well read, she is a book reading freak, loves books, took Philosophy in University and works in a Bank in Canton, Georgia. She is Catholic and we want a large family. I married her last June, we have been married a year.
When my sister was born, my mothers first baby the family in Kuwait and Oman sent gold pieces as baby gifts for her dowry when she grew up. She became a Dominican Contemplative Nun so she never used her dowry, my mother still has it.
I have two other older sisters, both adopted. My father got my oldest sister out of bombed out train near a place called Chaugatchka in Bengal during the Bangledesh war. She was the only survivor among 116 dead in a train the Paks hit. They killed everybody. My sister was in a basket under a seat in a train full of dead people when dad found her when he was doing Recon for Brig. Gen. Raina and the 2nd Indian Armor advancing on Dacca. Dad did Intell for Raina. Dad worked for R&A for the Indian Intell in Pakistan and Afghanistan as well.
From Afghanistan he went to Oman. The CIA didnt like my dad all that much.He didnt work for them.
My other sister was given to my dad at birth, her parents were both Lepers in Calcutta. Anthony was my father's friend, an educated man who had Leprosy. A good man who was the senior person in a Leper Colony. My dad stumbled into the place by mistake and got to know Anthony there and came back to help the community. When DANLEP developed a cure for Leprosy dad paid for Anthony and his wife's cure. They gave their first baby to him still wet from being delivered. Dad raised her, brought her home to the states to my Mom. Audrey is that older sister to me. She married a Kuwaiti who got American citizenship by enlisting in Kuwait in the US Marines. He went into Security because my father got his trained by pulling some strings and he runs a big security business for a national Airline here in the US. My other sister married a man in the Secret Service who provides body guards for American senators. The Kuwaiti became a Catholic to marry my sister. He isnt much of a believer but he lets his kids all grow up Catholic...I have five little nephews and one little niece. Being Catholic means lots of children. Strong families. Atheists are like EUroweenies, they dont breed particularly. Strong families eventually take over everything.
Moslems breed at least. If they manage to learn to read something besides the Koran they might climb out of the Donkey crap. Until then they can burn cars and work for the White man.
So you think Obama is the "last" President? I dont . I think the US will dominate the entire world by the end of this century. Do I sound weak to you? Does my family sound weak? Do you think we cant run the world? I am going to be a multimillionaire someday. I will have a house full of sons and I will grow old raising my children and my kin to power. All of us are unstoppable. We can make a profit on anything the world throws at us.
I own LAND, Thal....not mortgages...LAND. The Nunnahee is 1,000 acres in the North Georgia Mountains and my family has held that since 1835. We own land in south Georgia in four places plus the old family graveyards down there that date back to 1799. I have owned three houses and I am only 29. My present house is five bedrooms and is where I am going to raise my family. As the male everything my father owns will go to me as executor and I will distribute to my sisters as I see fit. Dad made three $million profit from his three years in Iran in shipping and trucking. Its modest by some standards, but its an example of what this family CAN do.
I am not just an individual...I can call on others, related and connections in trade and business. We are all a bit like me..we have the brains and the will and we arent slowed down by asking pretty please mother may I/ We are going to make a future anyway.
Obama will be gone in 2012. The next President of the United States will have the backing of people like me and the US Military. We are going to shove America down your rag hat throats. And Europe is #1 at being #2. They lay on their backs and can eat cheese and play the Tuba.
The United States won in Iraq. We got what we wanted. We are going to do the same in Afghanstan and Pakistan as well. Eventually we will get what we want in Iran as well. Israel in time is going to do what every Arab fears, the Jews are going to be our managers for the Middle East. You can have your governments and your religion as long as you dont cause us any problems. Do you understand me?
Culturally you Moslems are going to get MTV and Madonna's tits. You will learn our language and we wont learn yours. You will eat KFC in Fallujah and go Yum yum. And in 2099 you will go to the stars and speak english when you get aboard.
You are reading me in English right now on a Computer I built and sold you. Say hello to Allah for me.
We will see Obama's black behind and put our own in there next time. And we STILL have 700 military Bases around the world and some of them will be IN IRAQ for the next 99 years. Iraq is the strategic center of the geopolitical Middle East. And the Iraqi Army isnt elected and is driving our Tanks and their Officers are all on file in the Green Zone. We train them and we invite their Iraqi generals to go swimming at the US Officer's Club swimming pool. We even get him an American"secretary".
there is going to be another big war and you Arabs are going to lose it. You will see street signs in Hebrew in your lifetime. And you will check into the American style Hotel and the shoes will be shined and outside your door in the morning. Fatimah works for Room Service.

Super! Bull. thank you. I have watched that DVD twelve times. I love the French coming out of the fog and the broadside that causes that young Middie to lose his arm.
I was just a little kid when I first met my father....raised with older sisters two adopted and one my blood sister and my father was just someone my mother told me about...he was bigger than God in her stories. He hunted "bad people" in the desert in Oman and he shot then and he worked for the SULTAN. Mom always capitalized the RULER in her stories. My dad worked for the RULER.
When I met my dad I didnt know what to expect. But what I got was hell. He took me to the outback of eat you alive in Alaska when I was about ten years old. We lived in shelters for a year in all weather and killed and skinned and ate things. I had to kill little rabbits by pulling on their necks in wires until they choked. Then I had to cut them up with "my own" knife. He taught me to read maps and I hated him. He didnt beat me, he just wouldnt give me any food until I killed it myself.
When I was fifteen he came back from Uganda and took me down into the Pinacate Inferno in Sonora, Mexico...and we crossed 300+ miles to the Gulf of Baja and shot wild pigs and doves and jack rabbits and I learned to skin snakes.
When I thought of my dad it was as "that @!#$."
I am just like him.
I am going out to Montana this fall, I will be living out in the wilderness. I will post a lot of pictures. I want to buy some land out there and homestead. Charlene thinks we can have a "Summer home". She is slow catching on. But she will be like my mother and raise the children and have this place in Lost Mountain while I build that "summer home" over time. She will get used to it. I want a big family.
Ever thought about what it would take to "bear proof" a house, Bull? Grizzlys. Think about it. Ever thought about facing a Grizzly? I am my father's son.
Our coat of Arms from Konolfingen in Berne from our ancestral fortress at Orme on the Swartzennegg is a black shield with a standing facing red Bear with Claws up. Professional soldiers for five hundred years. Gun makers ( rifled Jagers) when we first came to the Americas in the 1740s. Four shots a minute and a wheel lock instead of a flint lock. Light heavy caliber meant to be used by Rangers and Dragoons. perfect for the American wars. Go up the Altamaha river and open a trading post in a big Indian graveyard called "the Tombs". manufacture guns and get an Indian wife. teach the kids to read and use a gun. Drill them until they are fast. Tear the ball with your teeth from the paper, hold the ball in your mouth, pour the powder down the barrel. spit the paper and the ball in , ram the rod. Prime the pan or wind the wheel lock. Present...Aim and fire. Tear the ball with your teeth from the paper...
Never sell land, always buy land.

WELL! I wouldnt have missed that for the world.
North Carolina? I have driven through there many times going up to see my sister who lives in Bethesda, Maryland. Her husband is Secret Service. Dad found her in a bombed out train during the BanglaDesh war when he was doing forward Recon for Brig. general Raina and the Indian 2nd Armor in the advance on Dacca.
My sister was about five months old at the time. 116 dead people who were railroad yard personnel trying to make it west to the Boyra salient by stolen train. The Paks bombed the rail line and when the train had to stop the people were slow to get off and the Pak jets came back down the rail line and strafed the boogeys with 20mikemike aircannon.
Dad broke into the train in the dark while on recon to look for places the river could be forded by Tanks or to find bridges still intact. He had met two razakars who told him about the train. The baby was the only one left alive.
Dad carried her in the jeep for nine days and fed her on bananas and goats milk and use some of his shirts for diapers. She is about 40 now and has a son who is my Nephew and I am his godfather. Very bright boy, does straight A's in school.
I always like to visit with my sister. She is ten years older than me. Her husband and I use the Pistol Range there in Bethesda. He's better with a pistol than even my dad. He was bodyguard to the candidates during the 2004 Pres. Campaign. He's got a framed picture of John Kerry holding my nephew for a photo Op around Christmas that year. My brother in Law was providing security at Kerry's Georgetown home during a party.
He voted for Bush of course, but then a lot of people elected Bush for two terms.
Kerry was just his job to guard.
Nobody in my family named "mohammed" Thalaquin. My mother converted to Roman Catholic a year before I was born. My older blood sister is a Nun studying on a Scholarship in Rome. And my two adopted sisters are well married with five kids between them.
Now I DO have Moslem friends. My best friend is Heshem, his father was US Special Forces and married Marwah who is Egyptian. Heshem has two sisters, Giselle and I dated in highschool. The other sister is named Marwah like her mother. very different personalities.
Marwah is a very good friend of my father's. My father knows Islam very well, even acted very convincingly like a Moslem when he worked Security for Sultan Quabus Said bin Taimur. Convinced everyone. But my father doesnt believe in anything but his own advantage and himself ( trust me). But he respects marwah very much and is always deferential to her faith. Marwah is an impressive Moslem, her Islam is pure and good, just like she is. Heshem says he is a Moslem but he has never been inside a Mosque in his life. Heshem likes pussy and making money. He's not confined by his marriage to Lila, I am afraid. Heshem cheats on his wife. But I dont say anything to him, its just the way he is.
I cant even imagine cheating on Charlene, she's too good to me and she's too smart to fool anyway. If I cheated on her she would wait until I went to sleep and then she would go in the kitchen and get a long sharp bread knife. And I would have just about enough time to see my blood spraying on the ceiling before I lost consciousness from having my throat cut.
Besides I like sleeping next to her. I like waking up with her . I like listening to her talk. She's very deep, very insightful. Gifted intelligence. I cant fool her and she sees me for what I really am and likes it. I am absolutely loyal. I probably have a lifetime with her. I feel like she's the nail I can hang my future on. I dont think she will mind Montana. She will be in on the deal, I will let her choose where she wants...and its a big place and lots to choose. We will be going out together in May next year..and she will have to learn to ride a horse.
The "mo-heads" can take care of themselves. I have better things to do.
Heshem married an Iranian girl name Lila. I was best man for the Moslem wedding. Lila's uncle was a senior man in SAVAK. He has an estate in New Jersey. Heshem and I have both been his guests. very wealthy family.
