This is almost frightening in its unconscious nod to the portrayal of the rise of Nazis in Cabaret. Granted, Cabaret isn’t history. It’s a movie. But the symbolism of the infamous But compare this:

to this. Embedding was disabled, you have to click the link. It’s “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” from Cabaret.

The greatest threat to mideast peace depends on who you talk to, where they’re located, what their (provisional) alliances are. I’d make a case for the SAUDI suicide bombers inside Iraq. Any guesses why the Western media is afraid to call them what they are? I’m mystified. Maybe it isn’t politically correct to identify the national origin of these mass-murdering followers of the stupid 18th c. Wahhabi cult.
