This is the double standard they're both following.

How many times have you mentioned the word "kill" here Tariq? Seek help.

the difference between Iran and Saudi? Both have elections. By what you've said, they're both democratic, right? Iran has some harsh laws afaik, Saudi does too. What is the difference?

You've not explained democracy in Saudi Arabia there. What's the difference between the family of Khumani and Saud in what you've just said. Are they both not running the country? How is Saudi more democratic than Iran, or Syria for that matter. You see Tariq's double standard is that he...

I might have gotten to the bottom of Tariq's bloodthirstiness. If it's to do with the Brotherhood, jailing them, why's it a bad idea? They sound like they might be a security risk to Syria. ---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ---------- well explain.

What are you complaining about exactly? Syria sounds like it does have political parties. Does Saudi Arabia have more than Syria in terms of political freedom? You've not explained why Syria is a worse case than Saudi to invade (which you want to do).

So tell more. It's rather interesting that Saudi Arabia is democratic. Why arent you explaining it? There are local elections. So candidates are elected? Those candidates form a political party. That political party makes important political and economic decisions?

well you can open threads on "evil zardari". I'd probably agree with you too ;)

So, when millions come out onto the streets there'll be enough to overthrow the Syrian regime by popular feeling. Why are you so quiet about Bahrain in this case? They too shot many protestors. Would such protests be allowed in Saudi Arabia. My point is you're very quiet when it comes to...

I might have missed it. Is Saudi Arabia democratic? Tell me more ;)

So why not let the Libyans, the Syrians decide for themselves? My point was you say Syria should be like this or that, but make no mention of Saudi Arabia. So what are your real reasons?

As an aside, Libya's system wasn't a bad one. It went like this. Each tribe selects a leader who then is elected to a Political Council. So each tribe is represented in this council. This was the system that's always been used in Libya which isn't fully democratic. The democratic system...

So you want democracy in Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Libya, but Not Saudi Arabia? Why? You either want it or you don't. You can't pick some countries to have it, but not others. That's no basis.

there goes another 100,000 Muslims Tariq feels is worth the price. These war mongers are lunatics imho.

i don't think it was misinterpreted.

He wasn't any great leader like you've Bollywoodized him as. The Sikh Empire couldn't hold onto the Pashtun areas longer than a decade or two. The resistance was comprised of Pashtuns who did defeat the Sikh Empire on their territory (supplied by the British). If they did not, there would be no...

Ranjit Singh wasn't an exceptional foe, an average one maybe. He might have been cunning in that he picked the right time to launch attacks against his enemies while they were weakened and fighting amongst themselves. But he was unable to occupy conquered territory for very long suggests this to...

weak armies defending the khyber historically? :D you must be joking. if they were indians, they'd have run a mile. the main route to the indian subcontinent through the northwest has been traditionally very difficult to pass through.

very direct. did not hide his words in the first one. shades too.. zero points for cutting him off.

if it's true they're black Libyans and not foreign mercenaries then that's been an insane media lie (even if they were foreign mercenaries it wouldnt make killing them as PoWs acceptable). there are reports from human rights organizations that contradict the media narrative of many thousands...
