and how do you propose to do that when you continually
label arabs 'pigs,' and all of your anger and
arguments is ancestral based (ie. they made slaves of
'us')? please enlighten us.

> i am not educated at all.

not to sound to harsh but that is obvious. if you're
going to advance an argument and expect to be taken
seriously at least have some foreknowledge of it based
upon something other than reactionary hatred.

how do you propose peace when you're so full of war?
from your tirades you hate the west and arabs. granted
their histories are flawed but i defy you to name a
civilization that in some way has not brutalized it's
'Other.' obviously i don't know your background, but
it's almost guaranteed that 'your' people have
commited at least one crime against humanity if you
look to their history because it's a simple truth of
man, that he brutalizes Others.

if you like nietzsche then i encourage you study his
work a bit further. it would do you well to ponder his
aphorism: 'convictions are prisons.'
maybe if you ponder that long enough you'll escape
your ancestral prison of hatred for arabs and others
and actually have something rational to contribute.
