I wonder how the world’s arabs feel about Ralph Nader? What about the libertarian candidate, what’s his name? Surely there is at least one candidate the world’s arabs can be happy with. That is the purpose of the US election, is it not? To produce a candidate who will satisfy the world’s arabs?

Someone really must inform Reuters that Iran is not an arab country. But they would only forget, by the time they wrote the next story. Such low IQs in the journalism profession these days.

The Ayrabs ought properly to ignore Nader and/or the Libertarian candidate.

They simply don’t matter.

Come to think on it, everyone else ought to ignore them as well, save the Truly Shriven who use their vote as a Ranting Device.

Sure Nader matters, Don. If Nader didn’t matter, he wouldn’t bother you so much, and you wouldn’t need to keep coming in here with your random capitalization saying he doesn’t matter.

I think Badnarik is the Libertarian candidate. Don’t ask me his first name, I’m a Libertarian myself and I don’t know.

But, but, but… they should love Kerry ! After all, Burke’s peerage has traced his lineage all the way back to the prophet Mohammed according to their press release on Sep 29 of this year:

He is a kinsman of the Shi’ite Shahs of Persia, the most famous of whom was Shah Abbas I who reigned from 1587 to 1629, and also the Muslim Kings of Tunisia, both of whom descend from the Prophet Muhammad;

Vote for Badnarik and vote for liberty.

Just like any other demographic, many conservative Arab voters can’t vote for Bush (fascist) or Kerry (socialist). And they will vote because every vote matters by telling government what citizens want. Small government, liberty-minded citizens will vote for Michael Badnarik and this will cost Bush the election.

In fact, the American Muslim Alliance praises third parties “For showing courage of conviction in upholding American ideals, for demonstrating total honesty and integrity in dealing with fellow Americans of all religions, colors and creeds, and for doing the right thing at the right time and for the right reason.”

Articles like this leave me wondering if the author really thinks it is a relevent opinion. While Mr. Omar obviously, as a foreign citizen and resident, have no input to the election, is the personal opinion of an individual Egyptian something upon which the US electorate should base their vote? And that is not even accounting for the fact that all of Mr. Omar’s information and news concering both candidates comes from a biased state-sponsored media. So, again, does teh aithor really think Mr. Omar’s opinion is relevent or is he just filling colunn space?
