Probably messing with the wrong neighbor

It was reported yesterday that Syria shot down a Turkey fighter jet that, apparently, violated their air space over the Mediterranean.

Syria is a volcano getting ready to explode and bringing Turkey into the explosion is only going to create a much larger crater.

Syria has 21 million people.  Turkey has 76 million.  

Turkey has the second largest military force in NATO.

Syria has the second largest military in the Arab world behind Egypt.

Syria gets it's weapons from Russia (East)

Turkey gets it's weapons from the United States (West)

Syria is 75% Sunni Muslim

Turkey is 99% Sunni Muslim

These two countries used to be allies.

Thousands of people from Syria have taken refuge inside the Turkey border (500 miles) trying to avoid the chaos in their country.  Some of the refugees have formed their own anti-Assad organizations and are openly calling for his overthrow. So within the country of Turkey there are groups such as the Syrian National Council and others, who while being Sunni Muslims, are battling other Sunni Muslims in Syria.

Seriously, if the Muslims can't get along with other Muslims, and we all know that Sunni and Shi'a problems are fundamental to the very core of their belief systems, what's the chance of Christians and Muslims sitting down and having tea. And somehow 7 million Jews in Israel sit on a powder keg right in the middle of the mess...saying "it's not our problem."

AFTER 9/11, I SUGGESTED THAT A COUNCIL OF FAITH  BE ESTABLISHED AND LET THE WORLD OBSERVE AN ONGOING  TRIAL ON TELEVISION AND RADIO.

PUT RELIGION ON TRIAL!

ANY ORGANIZATION WHOSE BASIC CODE OF BELIEF IS THE DESTRUCTION OF ANOTHER ORGANIZATION IS FOUND GUILTY
AND
SENT

THE
CORNER

The middle east is seriously out of control and as the Muslims move further into Africa, and it's not the same type of missionary work done by Christians because the Muslim's are carrying AK-47's, the problems for the rest of the globe will intensify.

In the meantime a huge rock, 340 tons, named  "Levitated Mass" will be able to be viewed, for $15.00, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

A ROCK!

$15.00!

Big news day.

Is America the most wonderful place on earth....or what?

We are Disneyland to the rest of the world.

By the way, the entrance to the Museum might be a little more than 15 but I'm sure you get my point.  Student and Senior discounts probably apply....but parking will be another 10 bucks....at least.

I think I'll go see Brave and forget everything for two hours.  Once more Disney helps quiet the storm.

Hope I don't run into any Sunni's on the Promenade.
