On Saudi TV:
What has international legitimacy given us? International legitimacy has allowed the existence of Israel. International legitimacy has accepted Israeli occupation. It hasn't stopped the occupation or made it withdraw. It hasn't changed a thing for decades. International legitimacy has shackled a nation of four million in the Balkans, and prevented it from defending itself, until 300,000 of them were killed - most of whom were men. It has become a nation without men, almost. That's international legitimacy! Today, in the name of international legitimacy, they are trying to hunt down another Arab country, in order to help Israel. They want to kidnap Syria... They are like a predator with prey caught in its mouth and blood dripping from between its lips. Then all that's left to do is to devour it. This is the situation in which Syria finds itself today. They want to devour it, and in the name of international legitimacy, no less...

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
