It was bad planning on our part. A Palestinian taxi driver dumped us at the side of the road near the Wadi Qelt (a valley between Jersualem and Jericho) saying he wouldn't go any further because the IDF were nearby. We wanted to hike the valley so he pointed us down the side and we climbed down into this very steep valley in the middle of Judaean desert in glaring midday heat. We got down and travelled along the valley until we came to our goal - St. Georges Monastery - which was shut, with no sign of life anywhere to be seen and a dead scorpion at the door. At this point our water wasn't just warm, it was hot. Realising our stupidity we soldiered on until we heard some commotion up ahead (w ehad been hiking along for several hours at this stage with no sign of anyone else about). We turned the corner and the IDF were shoring up a roadblock on a dust road to Jericho used by Palestinians. They gave us water and told us that we were in a dangerous place and that there were snipers about. We asked them how to get to Jerusalem - they told us that the road to Jerusalem was 5km 'that way' - in temperatures in excess of 45oC in the middle of the fucking desert! We started to sullenly walk away when they took pity and offered us a lift to the main road. Bit dodgy - we effectively made ourselves legit targets for Palestinian militants. But we got away with it...Parker wrote:

Overly simplistic. Hate current US Foreign Policy. Would someone who 'hated' America make two trips there in one year in order to revive its flagging economy?deeznutz1245 wrote:

I'm not quite sure what the USA's stance was during "The Troubles" but I think they were more with the Irish than the British. Also, they didn't even help the UK in the Falklands either. Just why the fuck did we help them in Afghanistan and Iraq. Fuck sake. There was never a special relationship.
I think the commonwealth did more to help the UK than the US ever did, but we don't want to get into that debate. The UK isn't France, WW2 won't work as an argument.deeznutz1245 wrote:

Oh, ok. I didn't think those were our pilots and planes and soldiers and submarines over there helping fend off the German Navy and air assaults before we even entered the war. Sorry, my bad.Mek-Stizzle wrote:

I never said the U.S didn't help, I'm just saying that it's not exactly justification of being your bitch around the world to this day. I hate these WW2 arguments with Americans. There's no winning. You can't argue with someone who thinks that they won the war single handedly. I give up with these bullshit Americans playing the WW2 card all the time. Fuck that.deeznutz1245 wrote:

Christ. I hate these WW2 arguments with Europeans. There's no winning. Everytime we say that we helped or assisted, you fuckin Euros tell us how we didn't do shit and you won it single handed. I give up. Fuck that.deeznutz1245 wrote:

It wasn't the USA who funded the IRA. It was the American People, not the state, through private donations. Teddy Kennedy was responsible for putting allot of money in the IRA's pockets. The USA's stance during the troubles was to say or do very little for fear of pissing of the 40million odd Irish American voters. Wasn't their concern or problem anyway as its thousands of miles away. Pity couldn't say the same about the ME.Mek-Stizzle wrote:
