Just so long as we keep out of it this time.

We fvcked up big time with the creation of Israel, over the Suez Canal (thanks USA!) in Aden (where I came within inches of getting my head shot off) .... In fact the whole Middle East is a fvck-fest created by GB and the Frogs (with some American input) drawing arbitrary lines on maps that divided tribal lands and started the whole bloody mess by creating countries where none had existed before.

Quite so...

Sort of... yet I live in one of the least Muslim friendly places in the area... for obvious reasons...

I see the new regime in Egypt has let Iranian warships through the canal... that can't be good eh...?  noooo:

To start WW3?

If it all kicks off I'm happier living in Muslim averse Cyprus than I think I would be in Muslim friendly UK....

Lets all hope (and pray if that floats your boat) that it doesn't...  noooo:

But the Iranians that are kicking off are trying to pick up where they left off after the elections. 70% of the population are under 30 and are mostly interested in just having a life  rubschin:

112 Tomahawks launched at military targets in Libya. Time for a good kicking and just, perhaps, getting a bit of revenge for Lockerbie perhaps...
