ARAB INTELLECTUALS are just as
ARAB INTELLECTUALS are just as perverse and fuckheaded as Western intellectuals:
Normally, the appearance of Saddam Hussein on television prompts catcalls, curses and prayers for his demise from a regular gathering of about 20 Saudi businessmen and intellectuals, but Monday night was different. When he appeared, they prayed that God preserve him for a few more weeks.
"They want Saddam Hussein to go and they expect him to go eventually, but they want him to hold on a little longer because they want to teach the Americans a lesson," said Khalid Batarfi, the managing editor of the newspaper Al-Madina, describing the scene in a sprawling living room in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
They want Saddam to fall, but they want as many deaths as possible in the meantime. These people are garbage.
