They take us for fools by Tariq A. Al-Maeena

The word “fool” as defined in most dictionaries suggests a label that applies to a weak-minded person. A fool is also defined by a wide array of other descriptive words, among them a simpleton, a dunce, a blockhead, a numskull, a nincompoop, a moron, an imbecile, or an idiot.

While most of the media’s attention is focused on Syria, the state of the euro or the US presidential elections, very little is being said about state sponsored ethnic cleansing in Myanmar or Burma. Perhaps it is because the unfortunate victims happen to be Muslims and there are no strategic gains to be garnered by allying with them. Click here to read Full Article
