The Canaanites themselves were most likely of Arab descent.... I would remind you that India has supported Palestine, not Israel, in practically every single U.N. resolution, during the Cold War era, in the Gaza war, the unofficial recognition, etc.

I must say, and though I know doing so may alienate many on this forum, I have given the Syrian civil war much thought, and I now believe it is honestly best for the Assad regime to remain in power, at least for now. Too much is as uncertain as it is, and Syria's "revolution" has been tainted...

I find it remarkable that the Arab world seems to hate each other more than anything else...

Kolaps, I'm just curious. What do Taiwanese people generally feel about India and Pakistan?

Iran has been taken advantage of for far too long by outside powers. It should not let anyone tell it what to do. Terrorism? Israel's very existence has destabilized the Middle East ever since its inception...and I mean that in blunt honesty.

There is much stronger anti-U.S. sentiment in both the Indian government and the Indian populace than most Americans would ever realize. The U.S. might well be better off with Pakistan as an ally, far more so, indeed. Now that Russia has long since abandoned them, what other choice do the...

What do most Iranians think about Zoroastrianism anyway these days?

With the Middle East, I have long learned that there is very rarely any 'right' or 'wrong' of any kind applicable.

What is done, is done.

But, if I am not mistaken, prior to the introduction of Islam by repeated Turkish invasions in the 13th century, the modern-day region of Bangladesh had a fairly significant Buddhist following. Indeed, even modern Pakistan has a 1% Buddhist population. Bangladesh : AT A GLANCE That being said...

Russian military officials are in Brazil this week trying to woo President Dilma Rousseff into letting them in on a bid for a multi-billion dollar fighter jet contract – a move that could scuttle a proposed deal with U.S. manufacturer Boeing and further strain relations between Washington and...

Impressed? It has destroyed whatever remained of America's credibility worldwide.

I don't like Obama particularly, but his replacement could be far worse.

I do not wish to offend either Sunni or Shi'ite, but surely Shi'a Muslims must also face discrimination in Sunni-majority countries?

Is it true that India mistreats its Muslim minorities?

I think that enough 'aid' has been given...and if Bashar al-Assad goes, there is still much risk of destabilization.

Gambit, if I may ask, how do you explain these past actions of the U.S., then? Namely, the cited illegal experimentations conducted by the government? The article is no surprise to me, as I had come across it months ago, but even so, the claims they list, if true, are very serious.

But why are these weapons necessary, though? Surely the Gulf states don't actually expect some kind of attack, do they?

Well, I didn't really expect Russia to be so upset by it. Wouldn't they be glad, since Saudi Arabia and Russia currently have conflicting geopolitical interests in the Middle East?

It was indeed an unexpected development. It is also somewhat surprising that Russia has reacted so strongly to it.
