I wasn't so much interested in him, but just the regular citizens participating in something good like this one voice thing.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

To be fair, if the US President knew more Spanish (Mexicans speak Spanish, yeah?) than English, you'd say similar things. I'm not necessarily saying that he's wrong, just that being Westernised and not speaking his native language doesn't necessarily speak highly of him. I highly doubt Westernisation is the way forward in places like the Middle East and Asia.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

It may not be a popular way, but I assure you it is a way forward.Bubbalo wrote:

then they can have all the sectarian war they want. If they're all dead it makes my life easier.Bubbalo wrote:

Well I am sure Jeb speaks English primarily. It's one thing to be bilingual than to be fluent in a foreign language and just ok in your native one.Kmarion wrote:

He is fluent brother, as am I . Have you met his wife ? Fluent does not mean it is your first language.Superior Mind wrote:

That's probably what they need. You notice how the countries in ME all have very straight borders, unlike Europe? That's because Europe's were formed naturally, through years of violence, whilst those in the ME were artificially imposed. It's no wonder they have troubles.Reciprocity wrote:

sadly, their values and history revolve mostly around sectarian war, fascism, ethnocentricity, and algebra. I'd love to see them grow up and get past their own BS history. They're all islamic, you'd think that would be enough to unite them, or at least keep them from slaughtering each other, but appearantly not.Bubbalo wrote:

So where does Israel fall into this?Reciprocity wrote:
