LILLYLADY: Solitaire,
Very interesting idea you have posted here!! Sounds like you are ready now to volunteer and go over to one of the arab countries and amass on Israel's border or go into Israeli territory and lob a few rockets? Do you have your bags packed yet? Will you run and hide amongst the civilian Palestinians when the rockets and mortar are lobbed at you and let the poor innocent civilians die in your place? Or will you heroicly stand there and keep fighting until you are shot or killed. Now that would be more honorable. You can volunteer almost anywhere in the world where there is a strong cause for a foreign fighter against the Israelis for that matter, not just Cairo or Amman. Would these people fight for you to protect your life or your country from other terrorist organizations? I sincerely doubt it!! They have their own agenda to fulfill and will do anything to get what they want and at whatever cost!! So go over there if you believe that strongly in what they have to offer you. It could be a one way door for your return to your current home other than in a coffin. You are a very talented man and your loss for someone else's cause would be mourned by many who love and care for you.
Posting concerning the possible 'chess-game' moves abstactically is a far cry from someone trying to personalize the issues.
It is no secret here or anywhere in Europe or the US about my past activities in regards to these issues, thanks largely to the various media, be it print and/or television shows in which I have taken part in or have been the subject of attack and vilification and indeed, even some praise by some very well known media outlets. Various 'intelligence' agencies have also their own assessments and opinions of both myself and my family as do some of the infamous agents of some of these agencies. Nothing of which anyone here knows other than what I have posted over the years on these types of threads.
It is no secret that I have supported (and continue to support) many mis- named 'terrorist groups' since the late 60's in many ways, as have other members of my and related families around Europe and the US. That support has taken many forms, from money to being in and on those front lines after training in various armies and camps operated by sympathetic countries. "Been there and done that" as the saying goes. We are all quite proud of the CIA's and FBI's assessment that we are "a nest of vipers" LOL!
Others, be they for or against always seem to have convenient excuses for themselves not to risk full commitment to any cause; they find it far easier to ignorantly challenge those on a personal basis in regards to matters of which they haven't the slightest knowledge let alone any first hand experience;(the drawing-room Marxists, Fascists or New World Order types) they are really beneath contempt all around. Far better a committed adversary than a coward with an excuse to avoid a commitment that risks all.
The very least one of these drawing room/ parlor room cowards could do is to join the Doctors Without Borders , Int. Red Cross or hell, even the Red Crescent in one of the Palestinian refugee camps and get themselves bloody from all the blown-up children...
