  I know I know...  Despite the propagandized ability of our fearless leader to
walk on water in all things diplomatic, I still have a REALLY hard time
seeinghow he's going to single-handedly end a few millenia of complex conflict

called the zionist infidel perspective.

  *shrug*  Maybe it's just me.
