Actually in Arabic Tripoli is Troblos in Lebanon, and also Troblos in vernacular in Libya, but more correctly it is Tarabulus al Gharb (according to wikipedia). So maybe we should be more specific when we transliterate them.

This is a question to all those who support American withdrawal from Iraq: Let's say, hypothetically, you knew for sure that leaving Iraq now would spare our troops' lives but would result in total civil war, chaos and bloodshed that would devastate Iraq much more than it already has been. Would...

Less studying is better, and here's the proof: NoStudy= Fail Study= NoFail +____________ NoStudy +Study = NoFail +Fail Study(No+1)=Fail(No+1) Study=Fail (and I didn't write this)

You're not going to notice the similarities immediately. The Quran is written in a different style, and since it was not transcribed until after Muhammad's death, it is not arranged in order of revelation or chronologically, but merely by length. Also it is not written as a "history" from third...

My mistake, I must have been really tired.

I have always enjoyed music with poetic lyrics. I mean songs like Kashmir or Into the Mystic (Led Zeppelin and Van Morrison, respectively). There's just something about these songs that evokes deep emotion, or at least higher intellectual thought (like the enigma Stairway to Heaven, another Led...

Hello, I purchased Microsoft Flight Simulator X and tried to install it on my computer, however it requires service pack 2. So when I downloaded it and tried to install it, it says "The expected version of the product was not found on your system". I don't know what the problem is: I am not...

Wow, you are the first person other than myself (although not on these boards) that I am aware has made this argument. Very well put. Frankly, I am really sick of this whole issue; I feel that posters (especially Aneeshm, winner, catherine, etc.) just harbor an irrational hate for all things...

(No offense intended, Eran. ;) )

(bolded mine) This is it: the Palestinians do. And whatever your government "claims" does not make it true. I'm not sure you understand the motivation for the majority of Palestinian resistance: it is not just Gaza and West Bank that Israel has taken from them, it is the ENTIRE part of what is...

Yes, but I meant to the most important cities like Moscow. I guess it would just depend how much Russia wanted to take them out. Two sides can decide something against the wishes of the third side, that doesn't make it correct, fair, or even useful. When there are compromises, usually parties...

Possibly. But there is a difference between biblical Israelites and Israelis.

Well, it was hypothetical, but I don't think Israel's nukes can hit that far. I could be wrong though. Or maybe they wanted a different Partition Plan? Yes, I agree. So would you advocate British citizenship on the basis of subscription to Anglicanism? not sure if I am reading this...

So where was the water supply for Israel before it seized the Golan? Why didn't the Syrians poison Israel in the previous wars? Israel built it, it can take it down. So if I build my house on your property, then you ask me to take it down, you will be happy with "No, I already built it, it's...
