Reblogged this on Progressive Islam. and commented:
All countries in the world say the samething: Security of my. Ountty is First. Like Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia etc.
If there is a threat from neighbor he ( President) has the right to enter the weak neighbor country to fight. I think he is a agressor.
The reason of Turke to enter and combat PKK because PKK is terrorist
The readon of Saudi to enter and combat Yemen becsuse Haiti ( Syiah) is terrorist
The reason of Israel to enter and combat Gaza or Syria because they are terrorist.
I do not agree such readon to kill innocent people.
What do you think Rafiq?

I say: read carefully all that you can read and view carefully all you can view on the Peace Conference held recently in London. http://www.mta.tv/peace That is what I think.
