General Thoughts

Which one do you think sounds absurd?

UPDATE: Bingo! Sayed’s comment is pretty close to the answer I had in mind:

If the question is which “sounds more absurd”, on a purely technical “by the book” level, I’d say Gay Catholic and Islamic Terrorist. Technically both terrorism and homosexuality go against Islam and Catholicism.

Of course there those in (and out of) both faiths that will argue otherwise.

But if the question is which is least likely, or which have we never heard of, then it’s the Vegetarian Butcher.

Okay so it’s been one day since the great news has (have?) been announced. Unfortunately we’re going to have to wait for the long process of appeals to be made first before the day actually comes. Anyways, it’s time to bring back the focus to the current and more important situation right now. Saddam’s death sentence won’t do much to calm down the violence in Iraq. The killings will just continue and we must do something to reduce them. Regardless of whether it will be a Congress full of Democrats or Republicans, something needs to be done and done quickly.

PS: I’m still confused over the whole Maliki, Sadr & Bush thingy. I find it crazy.

UPDATE: Big Pharaoh has an interesting opinion.

As for my reaction, I don’t really care. There is so much death in Iraq to care about the death Saddam caused

Well, unlike BP I do care and I am happy about Saddam getting what he deserves (after the appeals fail hopefully). However just like BP I must say that the sweetness of Saddam’s execution won’t be sweet enough to erase the bitterness of all the innocent deaths Iraq has been witnessing and continues to witness everyday.

The bastard will get what he deserved. YES!!

BUT… by hanging ONLY!

This guy at minimum deserves death by shooting squad. They should skin him alive, chop his genitals into pieces, spill acid on him, hang him by his legs, whip him a million times and finally stick a bullet into his head. Okay that’s harsh. Is it? Bleh whatever but you get the idea.

I bet every single Arab dictator now is shaking in his throne. On the other hand I’m sure Britain/America hating folks are going to do their best to downplay this latest news. Screw them. This moment and the day he gets executed are destined to go down in history as some of the most defining moments of the 21st century. Down with the filthy dictators in every corner of the globe. May freedom and justice prevail everywhere! Amen.

Oh YES YES YES. Thank you. I love you America (hugs and tons of French kisses). Andrew Natsios said the magic words I’ve been waiting to hear for so long.

In a major policy reversal, Washington’s special envoy for Darfur has confirmed the United States is backing away from demands for deployment of a UN peacekeeping force to the war-torn region of Sudan.

Andrew Natsios

Andrew Natsios, President George W. Bush’s personal envoy to Sudan, said Washington and other Western governments were looking for an “alternate way” to deal with the violence which has left at least 200,000 people dead and 2.5 million homeless in Darfur.

It was the first public acknowledgement that the United States was reconsidering its backing for a August 31 UN Security Council resolution it sponsored demanding the deployment of some 20,000 UN peacekeepers to halt what Washington has described as genodice in Darfur.

Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir has rejected the United Nations demand and refused to meet with Natsios during a visit to Khartoum last week, the US envoy said in an interview with the National Holocaust Memorial which was posted on the memorial’s website on Friday.

Natsios said Beshir was furious over Bush’s renewal this week of US financial sanctions imposed on Sudan for its involvement in the Darfur violence and alleged support for international terrorists.

I think the White House is starting to realize that the policy it has been pursuing (after the Abuja agreement) was doing more bad than good. I’ve argued here many times on why I think UN troops are a bad idea that will make Darfur a bigger disaster than it already is. If the White House does indeed follow what Natsios announced, it will be doing itself and us Sudanese a major favor. Sooner or later this had to happen. It’s time for America and Sudan to mend relations. America is only hurting itself. Asian corporations and many European ones have been investing billions of dollars in Sudan and in the process reaping back tons of profits. America is missing out big time especially in the oil sector. Sudan badly needs the American sanctions to be lifted. Believe me the NCP will have no problem allowing in American companies. Hell, they want American companies to come. They want American investment. I’m very very optimistic that it’s easy to repair the damaged relations. After the Shifa factory bombing, relations took a dive but then they recovered again. Moreover America played a key role in north-south peace agreement. It can do the same in the case of Darfur but it must make changes to the current policy of confrontation. No to confrontation, yes to cooperation. America can do more to bolster the AU force already present in Darfur. American investment can also make the NCP more “swayable” in the long term run. Moreover the SPLM can be strengthened in order to keep a better balance of power. As long as the SPLM exists and gets strengthened, the NCP won’t be able to easily do what it wants to do. Moreover the transition towards democracy can move faster. Thanks to the SPLM, many of us Muslims in the north have been able to enjoy more freedoms after the peace agreement. Another thing I should highlight is the best decision Omar al-Bashir ever made. He really deserves a big hug for that decision. The decision? Kicking Turabi out of government and putting him on house arrest. If he took over, we could be witnessing a Saudi Talibani stlyle government (PS: don’t get fooled by Turabi’s latest “liberal” fatwas. They’re nothing but attention seeking rants and probably even Taqiya. He’s extremely smart and he cannot be trusted. In Sudan many people call him a chameleon. Remember this is the same guy who welcomed Bin Laden with wide open arms). This Drima is eagerly waiting to hear about the alternatives the White House has in mind.

Political stability is the first step towards progress. Without it nothing is possible. If we Sudanese can truly achieve good political stability, we could do wonders especially with the newly discovered oil wealth which is estimated by some to be more than Saudi Arabia’s reserves. Combine that with tourism (ancient Roman/Nubian ruins/pyramids and animal wild reserves, agriculture (we have tons of fertile land and the Nile) and minerals (gold, silver, iron etc.). I swear to God we have so much potential… so much of it. If the political climate improves, I’m confident we Sudanese can have a country we can be very proud of in just about 20-30 years time. The diaspora will start returning and we can evetually have our own Sudanese Wall Street. It took Dubai and the UAE about the same period to reach where they did. It also took Mahathir (former Malaysian prime minister) to take Malaysia from a third world tin and rubber producing nation to where it is today.

UPDATE: US has denied policy shift. Oh well there goes my smile and excitement… We’ll just have to wait and see how this develops.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a case of a very ugly deadlock situation… a really ugly one. Example? Hamas says it won’t recognize Israel until Israel releases the thousands of innocent Palestinians in Israeli jails and Israel withdraws from the 1967 territories. Israel won’t release Palestinian prisoners until Hamas denounces violence and recognizes Israel. More examples? Na, I’ll leave that to you.

So… who’s going to comply first? Israel or Palestine? So far, no one it seems… Hence the deadly deadlock. Sigh! We need a new pair of Sadat and Begin. Actually, we need like 10 more pairs of Sadat and Begin! Oh well. Until then, the deadly deadlock will continue.

A Sudanese home owner returns home to find a young Sudanese girl stealing things from his house. He calls the police and they come to arrest the girl. The girl then gets taken by the police. What happens next? The girl gets a fair trial and she gets a light jail sentence given the fact that she’s probably damn poor and was forced to steal in order to feed herself. Right? No no no. The police officers instead rape her, gang bang her and then let her go. Justice served! What a “great” punishment huh? Now I can’t confirm if this story did happen but I can surely tell you that if it did, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Sadly such things are quite common in Sudan.

Filthy pigs indeed. Even if they gave her a jail sentence I’d still probably be pissed off. Check her background for God’s sake. Check her criminal record. What if she’s just too poor and can’t feed herself? If this is the 5th time for her to steal then fine, jail the girl but many young thieves in Khartoum steal because they simply need to survive. Did those police officers ever hear of something called Zakah? Isn’t Zakah money supposed to go to girls like her? Oh wait I forgot, the NCP just swallows most of it.

No she’s not a victim of sectarian violence in Iraq or Israeli bombing on Lebanon. She’s an Indonesian house maid who was returning to her country from Saudi Arabia. Saudi airport officials sent her to the hospital after discovering her “hidden health condition”, hidden under a black tent. You know what’s worse? Her Saudi employer will only get a slap on the wrist. I mean hey, the victim is just some third world sub-human lady from Indonesia so who cares right? Bleh whatever. Disgusting! Oh ya and she had burns too! Sigh!

How dare you Chaves. I had faith in you. Why did you have to quit? Come on damn it, if you had the balls to call Bush the “devil” why can’t you have enough balls to get that freaking seat on the UN’s Security Council? Why? Bleh UN Shmue N.

Ali Eteraz made a stunning discovery:

To all the ladies in the house, I’ve got a question. Which matters more, size or technique? ANSWER: Size!!

Eighteenth-century science pictured the Negro-ape association as a link in the “chain of being” and argued that male apes are closest to the black race, so it is natural that they be attracted to females of the next evolutionary step. Some of the more striking commentary can be extracted from the work of late 19th-century anthropological writings, in particular the work of the pseudonymous Jacobus. Jacobus was a surgeon in the French army who served in various colonial outposts, particularly North Africa, during the 1880s and 1890s. Because he was a physician, he had the opportunity to examine the organs of many males and females. Thus, Jacobus writes:

In no branch of the human race are the male organs more developed than in the African Negro. I am speaking of the penis only and not of the testicles, which are often smaller than those of the majority of Europeans.The genital organ of the male is in proper proportion as regards size, to the dimensions of the female organ. In fact, with the exception of the Arab, who runs him very close in this respect, the Sudanese Negro possesses the largest genital organ of all the races of mankind.

The penis is almost as large when flabby as it is in a state of erection. It is among the Muslim Sudanese that I found the most developed phallus, and notable one of the maximum dimensions, being nearly 12 inches in length by a diameter of 2 1/4 inches. This was a terrific machine, and except for a slight difference in length, was more like the penis of a donkey than that of a man. The unfortunate Negro who possessed this “spike” could not find a Negress large enough to receive him with pleasure, and he was an object of terror to all the feminine sex.

Hehehehehe SUPER LOL. Now that was dumb but undeniably damn amusing to read. I swear to God every word of it made me laugh my ass off. No wonder most of the girls that get attracted to me are the real horny “touch and go, one night stand” types. Yaaay to 19th century science!

More sex posts right here.

I’m not really very well versed with how the America system works but let’s just say the Democrats win control of Congress in this coming election, what will that mean for Bashir? If the majority of Congress is Democrat, does that mean they can dictate policies or apply more pressure on Bush over Darfur? I have a feeling that if Bush decides to conduct more military campaigns, the one that will gain him the most support from Democrats will be a military campaign aimed at solving Darfur’s disaster.

George Bush

Bush apparently issued a warning to Bashir to solve the Darfur disaster as soon as possible. Meanwhile our “great caring” leader Omar Hassan al-Bashir announced a plan to disarm the Janjaweed in 2 months. Amazing! Can anyone following Sudan’s news tell me what’s wrong with that dumb plan of his??! Janjaweed or no janjaweed, it won’t make a big difference, not as long as he has the military bombing villages and “rebel” targets in Darfur. UN aid workers already fear worsening access to Darfur civilians. Of course NCP politicians have declared all news as lies and pro-Zionist campaigns against Sudan. According to them security in Darfur is good! Damn, “I bet it is”. It’s so obvious those guys have their heads stuck up somewhere real hairy, dark and smelly.

Oh yes if there’s anything then it’s defintely this.
