Dear Ol' Rumsfeld (August 2003):
"My feeling about the so-called occupied territories are that there was a war, Israel urged neighboring countries not to get involved in it once it started, they all jumped in, and they lost a lot of real estate to Israel because Israel prevailed in that conflict. In the intervening period, they've made some settlements in various parts of the so-called occupied area, which was the result of a war, which they won."
So Rummy-like! HA!
A blogger:
The Soviet Union, when there was one, spent some 80 years oppressing - and often quite brutally - up to 50 million Muslims - and you've NEVER heard a single peep from Muslim leaders or Muslim countries, in fact, many of them were happy to be Soviet client-states.
America, with all it's faults and all the atrocities it has committed around the world, doesn't stop sending wheat and other foodstuff to Muslim countries (not to mention 95% of the rest of the world who would be executed for saying a single word about their own leaders, but are happy to march down the streets burning American flags having had a good breakfast made up of American-grown food) - as well as contributing to their economies with all the oil we buy from them.
They feel miserable? Sure they do, so would I with the leaders they have."
