Marwan Bishara, "english Al Jazeera's senior political analyst" today
reminded the viewers of the Al Jazeera english language TV channel that in the
past 100 years, no colonial power, be it England, France, Germany, Italy, USA,
Japan o rhave you, ever managed to defeat a colonized people. Let me single out
the victory of small Vietnam over the most powerful empire humanity has ever
seen, the USofA.
The current Crusader state will also suffer the same fate as all predecessor
Crusader states in in the past centuries.
Cheers,
Lüko Willms
