Peace talks between syria and Israel?Forget it.For what?So syrian artillery can start shelling Israel’s northern border again?Did Obama forget that both countries are still in a state of war?Where is he getting his intel?The CIA,which has admitted to lying to Americans?Or is that a lie also?
No, Israel is doing the right thing by sticking to her guns on the Golan and the settlement issue.We will not appease dictators and tyrants.

sounds like Asma and Michelle will be good friends – though maybe there would be too much competition between the two for who has the best purse and shoes.

I completely disagree on the comparison with Marie-Antoinette:
France under Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette was most certainly NOT Syria under Assad, even if the French revolted. Just the simple fact THAT they were able to revolt, overthrow, and execute the king is proof of that. France even under the rule of it’s Kings/dictators was an “illuminated” country with a functioning economy, a thriving artistic life etc. Just look at what these kings have left us.
So sorry, but Imelda Marcos, or Eva Braun yes, but leave Marie-Antoinette be!

Asma’s husband can afford a chin implant, so why doesn’t he get one?
