I would have been able to tell you if you asked me 8 months ago. I can't recall now and the picture is too small for me to see the details. Send me a larger file, if you have it, and I can work my magic :)

What does israel expect?

Israel shocked by Obama's "betrayal" of Mubarak

Political commentators expressed shock at how the United States as well as its major European allies appeared to be ready to dump a staunch strategic ally of three decades, simply to conform to the current ideology of political correctness....

To win popular Arab opinion, Obama was risking America's status as a superpower and reliable ally.

"Throughout Asia, Africa and South America, leaders are now looking at what is going on between Washington and Cairo. Everyone grasps the message: "America's word is worthless ... America has lost it.



I think they should instead be shocked that we ever supported Mubarak and other dictators in the first place. While the U.S. is well known for supporting dictators, it is totally antithetical to our ideals.

What to they want? U.S. military intervention against people protesting for democracy in order to protect a dictator who supported Israel. It doesn't even make any sense. The real reason they are angered is because it is finally showing that Israeli issues are not our primary problem and that we can support the values our government should support - like democracy - over blind support for Israel. I hope this is the first step, in stepping away from Israel altogether.

We Can take it one step Further not only have we supported dictators we have helped put someone of them into power or at least supported the Regime that put them in.....

It is about time that we let freedom win when the people want it.... The thing with Israel is because of land and faith having them as a friend makes you Enemies to others for no reason..............
james - 02/06/11 16:36
For realziez. America supports Democracy and freedom only in so far as the state will be an unflinching ally of ours. So, we support people like Mubarak who detain people indefinitely, have citizens tortured and murdered, sham elections. THe Mubarak administration is similar to the Bush/Obama administration in a few of those ways, it seems.

If we learned to actually get along with popularly elected Muslims perhaps we wouldn't have to support dictators like we have in places from Egypt to Iran.

All these retro things are so unwieldy and bulky... Retro might be cool but it definitely does not fit into a minimalism clean-lines, open-space philosophy.

Retro or Trash?
Category: stuff
I couldn't decide if this watch at JCPenny's was supposed to be 80s Retro or if it was just a cheap crappy watch.
