U.S. intervention not the answer in Middle East
By Fareed Zakaria
It would be nice if an American intervention could identify the moderate Syrians, ensure that they defeat the (much stronger) radical Islamists and then the (much stronger) Assad army, and then stabilize and rule Syria. More likely, it would help Assad and add fuel to a raging fire.
Let’s review the record. The United States’ non-intervention in Bosnia in the early 1990s is said to have spawned Islamic radicalism, as did the interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s, as did the partnership with Pakistan’s military, as did drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen, as did the surge in Afghanistan, as did the withdrawal of troops from that country. When the United States intervenes, it is said to provoke terrorists; when it doesn’t, it is said to show that Washington is weak. No matter what the United States has done over the past two decades, Islamic radicalism has been on the rise, often directed against the United States and its Western allies, and it always finds a few alienated young men who act on its perverse ideology.

Your OP making fun of this was posted 1 1/2 hours after the correction.
I can only ascertain that you ignored the correction.
Classic @Philip.
Oh yeah? Well TWICE again "youre" rong then.
"Wrong".
I guess both of our posts had a disappearing letter.
Only mine was purposeful.
And mine was accidental; the correction was purposeful, as well.
Lol well now @ banasy..there lies the problem....if it referred to JD he woulda understand it better than DJ. And remember in his mind a DJ is a MC lol
My uncle Joe was not Catholic. Nor was my mom who kept it secret. Chrissy.
Emcee. Holy crudcakes.
em·cee /ˌemˈsē/informal
noun a master of ceremonies. synonyms: master of ceremonies, MC, host, hostess, ringmaster, chairman "Smith has done stints as an emcee of variety shows" verb
MC:
In hip hop and electronic dance music, an MC, otherwise known as a rapper, is a music artist and/or performer who usually creates and performs vocals for his/her own original material.
MCs are long before gangsta rap or hippety hop. Get a clue old lady wannabe hip.
And it was always written out emcee.
In the context you were posting, ie song lyrics, it is perfectly acceptable to have it taken MC (the music reference).
When one is unclear on intent, one should not make fun of the person taking it in the context given.
I'm sorry you still reside in the 50's. Most people do not.
I have worked in the music industry for almost sixty years, and played the piano well for sevent-three years, but this is the first time that I have ever heard the term "MC" in reference to a...an entertainer.
I would posit that it would be because you don't particularly like that form of....entertainment, JIF.
Lol dumb as a post. No where in your description does it mention disc jockey which is usually referred to as a DJ. And again philip i do not care which family member did or said. I AM angry that the straight up lied to all of US here for years and that i WASTED countless hours feeling your pain! Pain i now know was PURE FICTION on your part!!! Want me to go into MORE detail here? Im sure Joey will remember. Adam also. Now maybe you should just go sober up and stop actin a fool!!!
I never said DJ. You did. Sheesh.
Read her post again. She was referring to my post about an alternate meaning definition of Observer's "cya on the flip side." Which included DJ's.
Focus. Clise one eye, if necessary.
*Close one eye [...]
Ah yes, I know what DJs are, as in, "oh, the DJ at Charlanixee's birthday party was such a great artiste!"
Modern day terrorism was invented by the likes of Mussolini and Hitler assisted by Gandhi. They were Christians and hindus. Millions were killed in the most vicious way.
This terrorism stuff is all fake. To keep the disenchanted jobless majority occupied.
Not even a mention of Bishop Hudal?
Angry that "YOU" straight up lied to ALL of us here, i meant to say!
Well. I'm going to drink a half-gallon of Mogen-David "Mad Dog" 29/20 wine. And chase it down with 1 1/2 pints of Evan Williams "Green Label" if you don't mind.
Have at it. Oh, btw: it's 20/20.
Drink WHAT?
There are only two red wines that I really love.
Many white wines can be tolerated because they are served cold.
A Roma, cheap red wine outside is fine when cut with water. That's because of the color of the buildings' walls.
Modern day terrorists are doctors, really.
Lmfao you are going to lecture a MOTOWN girl on rap and hip hop??? You are thinking of MC HAMMER....ONE musical artist!!! You should THINK before you post...clown!
No. Just on the meaning of the word Emcee. "MC" for short. That's all.
But yeah. I got more MOROWN in my little finger than you got in your teets. I went to the same church as Michael Jackson did when we were teenagers. I know where MJ got the moon walk from and YOU don't, for example.
More *MOTOWN in my pinky toe, rather.
I'm sure the misspelling of Motown was accidental, too.
And MJ is dead.
So much for your glory days.
Horowitz, too.
The first time he heard me play, I was alone on the stage of Carnegie Hall, and I had no idea that he was listening from upstairs.
Within 3 minutes! A new blog record! Lmao.
Congrats to @banasy the new record holder. he he
The correction was within three minutes because my phone has to load and refresh.
Your not noticing the correction then pretending "God forbid said correction be delayed." took much longer.
The obvious conclusion is that you ignored it to ridicule me.
I dont give a rats ass WHAT you do! I will NEVER believe a damn thing you say again! Youve had the longest pity party in history and it was all because we felt bad over SOMETHING THAT DIDNT EVER HAPPEN???? You dont have an ounce of remorse for lying to ALL OF US for years about being rayped by a priest do you???? You are one sick individual!
Fareed is being dishonest by implying that the Gita Bhagavad is the ONLY source of law in Hindooism. Many things don't appear directly in Gita Bhagavad but are considered a part of hindoo law and hindutva jurisprudence. The sources second only to Gita B are the Ramayana tales, and as an Indian, Fareed knows this to be true. And in Ramayana several examples are given Lord Shiva ordering the killing of those who mock or satirize him in poetry or other forms. These sanctioned killings forever enshrined the practice of death to blasphemers as a legitimate part of hindutva law. Those who are denying this are being willfully dishonest or are simply ignorant.
He is too much of a dumb f ukk to figure all this out.
Feed the fella some beef to smarten up. LOL
I mean you can keep on changing appearances and appear to be sushi but a rotten tuna smells like you know what. You know who I'm talkin aboout!
So what is the solution Ms. Zakaria? Why dont you steal some ideas from @Blue Saffron's posts!
When I close one eye I only see one line, silly goose. Lol
Them you'll be able to convince the nice officer you can walk it when you are asked to.
*Then
Good gracious, my typos...
Them what?
Late to the party as usual. You know you look stupid commenting on my error when it was corrected, don't you?
MJ is asleep. Just as Jesus describes all who have died for their own sins." Sleeping in death" Jesus said of those awaiting the promised resurrection of all who had died for their sins. Even little boys like Adolph Hitler rayped by gay Parrish priests.
He can reshoot the video for "Thriller" when he 'wakes up', then.
Lol @ Bo...he already KNOWS! Thats WHY hes piggy drunk in the first place. He got caught in his lies and instead of manning up and apologising hes just gonna throw one tantrum after another! If YOU are who i think you are you will remember telling all of us that. And then last nite after he got caught he CLAIMS he NEVER told us any such thing!
Oh timprr tantrumb is me. Zzzzz
Eureka! US intervention amongst drug users in America has been a failure how can ME be a success. Spot on @Bo B.
Put him out to pasture with them cows.
And then what? He will out p issing in the streets in Pune.
Don't intervene too well with addicts.
Our economy is terrible, and two of our few functional industries are drug sales and treatment such as rehabs.
Do you know how much Medicaid pays to give an addict a month in a rehab?
@Hannah Bill Maher converted to Islam. That was to be expected. Mullah Maher now.
Islam's loss. I'd rather the Pope converted. LMFAO
Check @Fareed Zakaria's birth certificate. Lol he was bred in a kibbutz milking hogs. Squeak!
Daymn I could have read the Kama Sutra!
You obey a stranger who encourages you to murder for booty. You are greedy men. Is there no honor among you?' Upon hearing those lines Lord Shiva said, ‘Will no one rid me of this woman?' Modi, a zealous Hindoo decided to execute Lord Shiva's wishes. That very night he crept into the writer's home while she lay sleeping surrounded by her young children. There was one at her breast. Ganesha removed the suckling babe and then plunged his sword into the poet. The next morning in the mandir, Shiva, who was aware of the assassination, said, ‘You have helped Lord Shiva and His Apostle.' Ganesha said. ‘She had five sons; should I feel guilty?' ‘No,' the pundit answered. ‘Killing her was as meaningless as two goats butting heads.'

Middle East? What a misnomer. East of what Middle? Sherwood Forest? Once we figure out the geo political context the rest will fall in place. Let's get to work CNN. Do you see the problem with your thought process?
OMG we must be intervening in the wrong place ! No wonder terrorism is on the rise. Check the compass.
Crazy Horse killed more Americans than Bin Laden. Yet we have a bigger monument for him than Mt. Rushmore. Is the space at Rushmore for Bin Laden? Time for peace pipe.
Turquoise is so pretty in silver.
I gave a friend some Zuni cufflinks years ago. He never wore them. Finally he gave them back to me.
I've never worn them, either.
Artur Rubinstein wore turquoise jewelry. That's the Rubinstein who played less well than Anton.
One of my piano teachers won the Anton Rubinstein Prize in Russia, when Russia was good...you know, Czarist Russia.
The tradition of great Russian pianism has been almost completely destroyed by idiots who want to simplify or deconstruct everything of value.
Good morning Joey. (notice I have dispensed with many commas)
Piano? Russian? Keiko Matsui comes to mind. Have you ever enjoyed listening to her?
Crazy Horse was an American, @BS. So it doesn't count.
Oh shut up. Crazy Horse was an American. Not an Indian you moron.
They saved the space for you @Blue Saffron. The other guy will probably need a mountain for himself. Lol
And thanks for clearing up the MC thingy. One evening when only one or two people were here I began posting lyrics to some popular songs under the s/n Philip MC and started a cat fight. he he
Cat fight? Between who? There wasn't anyone there.
He also did not "clear it up"; he said he'd never heard of it used in that context.
Words have meaning that are alternate what older men may be used to.
Them yound whippersnappers. Get off his lawn!
Can you believe I'm still drinking instant coffee? I still haven't replaced my broken flask. And coffee is my main ingredient too. My daughter claims she was raised by a cup of coffee on her FB page too. And her mom only drank small cups.
@3:27am. EST, Black Betsy stated " This terrorism stuff is all fake. To keep the disenchanted jobless majority occupied." An absolute truth.
American trouble is an innovation. And actually drives pharmaceutical sales which gives reason to America's burgeoning rehab industry.
Commas were invented to give fat people time to breath.
ME? Who are fighting there BTW? And why?
CNN Please clarify.
Fighting for control of China's oil supply and the pipelines needed to transport that oil to China. If you must know.
Is what made things like Wal-Mart possible.
