Love this debate!

Seriously love it: Arab v. Jew..

So can someone please explain to me why a free market democracy of 7m people is stronger than the surrounding Arab poupulation of 350m that doesn't have a democracy amongst them.

BTW it's rhetorical....I've already figured it out....problem is 350m haven't

Good ole fashioned democratic capitalism beat imperialism, nazism, communism and ultimately will beat fundamentalism.

And to Sassy: why are we here?

Tell you why, because I live in a country that has invited the US military on to it's soil, I work for a co. that is the biggest customer of Americas largest exporter, I love going to Starbucks in the mall and watching the local biz men do their deals on the iPads & iPhones...

..but the real reason I like it is because I know If Iran decided to have a go at the UAE the US would be front and center protecting Emiratis who pay no tax with equipment paid for by my tax..

There is just something comically ironic about that...and get this .. I am not allowed to display my flag in public ..

No thanks expected...just a modicum of objectivity every couple of posts.

Respectfully,
