The word is "suffocate."

For your edification (or education, as the case may be) here is a complete definition:

Main Entry: suf·fo·cate
Pronunciation: \ˈsə-fə-ˌkāt\
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): suf·fo·cat·ed; suf·fo·cat·ing
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin suffocatus, past participle of suffocare to choke, stifle, from sub- + fauces throat
Date: 15th century
transitive verb
1 a (1): to stop the respiration of (as by strangling or asphyxiation) (2): to deprive of oxygen b: to make uncomfortable by want of fresh air
2: to impede or stop the development of
intransitive verb
1: to become suffocated: a (1): to die from being unable to breathe (2): to die from lack of oxygen b: to be uncomfortable through lack of fresh air
2: to become checked in development
— suf·fo·ca·tion \ˌsə-fə-ˈkā-shən\ noun
— suf·fo·ca·tive \ˈsə-fə-ˌkā-tiv\ adjective

Incidentally, this thread was DOA the moment you showed your true colors and lack of perspective. Your anti-Semitism is unquestionable.

As for your puerile comments regarding dirt and the such, I will simply ignore them. It is the response that usually works best with unruly children.

Like in real estate, it is all about the Location. Remove oil from the ME and the fighting will bother nobody. Problem is that where they are they are fighting over a sandbox WE want to play in. That is why we are involved.

Ah, but you see, there is another option. Maybe the civilians don't want to get involved in actual fighting but are tacitly supporting the people firing rockets, mortars, etc, etc.

Eventually two things will happen:

1. they run out of oil in the ME; or
1. we finally geyt our act together and find meaningful alternatives to carbon-based fuels.

When either one of those events occurs, they will:

1. lose whatever power they have now; and
2. will once again become irrelevant.

So? They are words I typed...I didn't "cut & paste" those words from articles that I've read, words that I heard from folks I talked to or worse yet, images I've seen on the idiot boxes...don't forget, I work in the media and I have more than enough contempt and disdain for what passes as "news" these days...I've had that bile stored for a LONG TIME...so don't worry about me being led around by the nose by some unseen, all-knowing force of mis-information...I dodge it on a daily basis...

I'm just a bit curious as to why you seem to feel that I'm being led by those that want to deceive...and why it seems you have a "slight" distaste for what's passing as protectionism for Israel.

If I were a betting man, and looking at the placement of Israel in relationship to its "neighbors" - I'd give up the wagering and become a monk...AAMOF, I'd be wondering WHY the UN placed Israel in its current location way back in 1948, assuming they HOPED Israel would survive.

Apparently, against all that the UN hoped for...Israel is still on the map...

I think a little 8YO kid with a SIMS Video Game could have planned Israel's beginnings a lot better than the idiots of '48...but then, I wasn't around to feel and taste the hate of Jews that must have been in the air back then...

And apparently, that feel and hate has never really gone away...eh?



BTW: Cockroach, when I used it, is in reference to the unseemingly endless amounts of mis-guided DNA that seem to come from nowhere and replace the idiots that either vaporize themselves in crowded venues, or just come out in the dark and kill innocent people for that "warm, fuzzy feeling" of appeasing some worthless knob of mullah-whack-job out there...

Businessmen, when I used it, is in reference to the next step up from cockroach, (see above), in that they are willing to supply arms and materials for the purposes of those cockroaches, just so long as the check clears the bank before Habib pulls the trigger on his little "golden parachute of heavenly joy"...but they won't help build or sustain any flow of money/effort for the infrastructure that needs to be built to bring STABILITY TO THE REGION...and they don't have the guts to stand up the Arab-Mafia (my term) of the regions...they have the same "NIMBY" attitude that all businessmen have, world-wide, only theirs is still driven by a misguided God called $$$$...

Gloves, is pretty self-descriptive...it's what's on the hands if you don't want to get your hands dirty...when you take them off, the hands are getting dirty or you're in a real fight...not some pussy-punching game either...

Them's my words...no one typed 'em for me or wispered them in my ear. (That may be a little weird, even for me.)

If I may be so bold to ask..."What's the source for your impecable information?"

Or, are you just parrotting some judenfeindlich propaganda found in the restrooms of some punk-rock bar? I've seen some of that stuff and it's pretty infantile to say the least...and even that's more than it should be given credit for...I'm sorry to have even mentioned that that crap exists...

Assuming that at that point in life we don't need anything from that area anymore (Raw materials for this new energy source doesn't come from there), you are correct. HOWEVER, that will not solve the main problem. Mankind still will find something to squabble over. Mankind has fought before oil came about and will be fighting even after oil is over and done with.

The short answer is that the world depends on oil and they are in a region which has the product. The Long answer is that it is the nature of mankind. We have fought before oil and will fight after oil. The only difference is what we fight over. Land, food, money oil, *******, etc, etc. It is the nature of mankind. We fought before the written word was there when we were scrabbling around in tribes and will do so even today and in the future if history is a guide.

Agreed. But once the area becomes irrelevant, then their squabbles will be THEIR problem, not OUR problem.
