and Western countries wonder why they are hated so much....

Remind me of the Hmong that helped rescue shot down American pilots during the Vietnam War. American CIA recruited them and left them to be killed by the Communist Vietnamese and Laotians. To this day, America ignores the Hmong. Dirty imperialist pigs. They only want to do this for their own interests.

Life imitates art or art imitates life?

They helped us, so we should help them. This is typical of the British government and the M.O.D.

They did the same thing to the Gurkha's and the the British troops who were subjected to radiation during nuclear bomb tests.

Have you learned to read yet? Oh you never did answer last time:

Is this baby rape or Marriage?

From Abu Dawud, Vol. 2, #2116: "Aisha said, "The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old." (The narrator Sulaiman said: "Or six years."). "He had intercourse with me when I was 9 years old."

At it again my friend? I keep a close eye on you, I hope someday you can mature.

That was really ignorant, it is nothing funny when it comes to war, but I guess some people just find everything funny, until they are directly impacted.

Yes, I remember this from Lost. Sayid Jarrah worked for the americans during Gulf War I and had to leave the country after he was forced to torture his old commander. I pray these exiles fair better than him wish they don't take any trans-pacific flights, we've seen what can happen with that!
