Quote:DOHA, Qatar, March 5 — A conference of Muslim nations hastily called for what was described as a last attempt by the Islamic world to help avert a war against Iraq degenerated into a shouting match today.

The leaders failed to publicly reconsider a proposal calling on Saddam Hussein to go into exile, although the idea first broached several days ago by the United Arab Emirates was the buzz of the corridors.

At the end of the conference, the Emirates Information Minister, Sheik Abdullah Zayed al-Nahyan, who was informally pushing the exile idea today, said in an interview, "Unless the Iraqis come up with a miracle, we don't think we can avert war."

The underlying tensions erupted in the elegant Ritz Carlton hotel ballroom when the vice chairman of Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council, Izzat Ibrahim, told the Kuwaiti minister of state for foreign affairs, Mohammed Sabah al-Salem al-Sabah, to "shut up, you monkey."

The Iraqi followed up with an Arab epithet, "Curse be upon your mustache, you traitor."

The Kuwaiti responded by saying the Iraqi was a hypocrite, as his information minister, Sheik Ahmed Fahd al-Ahmed jumped up to defend his country's honor by waving a miniature Kuwaiti flag.


I wonder when it comes out on DVD...

New York Times
You should really get the Korean DVD "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance". It's really, really good. You can get it from krdvd.com or mrkwang.com. Mr Kwang is a bit more expensive but overall better than krdvd.
What does that have to do with what I posted?
The entire Arab world is a joke. Sheiks, emirs, dictators and semi-sultans of all kinds having shouting matches in Ritz-Carltons... firebrand preachers telling everyone to go blow themselves up on yanqui-pigdog tourists if they wish for paradise... methinks the MidEast (among many others) needs a little rethinking.
Not all middle-easterners are Muslim fundamentalists. Just as not all of the west was Christian fundamentalist during the Crusades.
That has very little to do... the people in power are either fundies or eating out the hands of fundies, and that's really all that counts. Just like nobody that matters really gives a damn about the people protesting in the streets for peace... history moves without regard for the masses.
That's true, most of the people in charge are fundamentalists. I was just saying that you should not comdemn entire nations because of the actions of their rulers.
Yup, true. Power to the people and all that. *raises post count*
