Charles notes this clip from MEMRI and entitles it: Sunni-Shi'ite War in Microcosm. I say it's the entire Arab World in microcosm, and demonstrates the emptyness of claims that without an Israel, or an "occupaaation," peace would be breaking out all over. Watch at the link:
Sadeq Al-Musawi: You are a thief... You are a thief. You've been convicted for theft..
Mish'an Al-Jabouri : Get out. Saddam Hussein is your master and the master of your parents...
Mish'an Al-Jabouri: These are your documents. You are an Iranian citizen. You are Persian... You are an Iranian citizen... Saddam Hussein is your master and the master of people like you... (throwing the pages at Al-Musawi) These are your documents...
Sadeq Al-Musawi: Your father killed Kurds...
Mish'an Al-Jabouri: These are your Iranian documents... You are Iranian. These documents show that he applied for Iraqi citizenship in May 2004.
Sadeq Al-Musawi: We will settle accounts with all of you...
Mish'an Al-Jabouri: To hell with you and your accounts...
Host: Sir, I beg you to sit down...
Mish'an Al-Jabouri: You Persian shoe...
Well, at least he didn't call him a Zionist.
These people behaved like children! I've never seen anything like it. They make the McLaughlin Group look like models of decorum.
Splendid catch, Solomon. Gives me once again that thought that went up my mind during the Danish Cartoons Affair:
"They can't show the restraint expected of a child, and we expect them to control themselves regarding adult things like peace treaties?!"
It was like an Arabic Jerry Springer show.
I laughed my ass off.
It is such a bunch of incompetents there in the ME. It is too shocking to watch. Send Jack Bauer!!!
