Hello Brother Chaim,
I made a thread about beer and that how a glass of beer a day, or wine is very good for you. Do you by chance every now and then enjoy a glass of beer yourself?
And while we are on the topic of drinking,,, Is it alright to keep hoping that the fat piece of garbage Ted Kennedy will finally be gone from this world once and for all?
Thank you as always,
Anth

Shalom Chaim,
We all know the Jewish belief (one born out by history and experience) that enemies of the Jews have a tendency to disappear. We know the whole history of Haman, Antiochus, the Pharoahs of Egypt and in our own generation the Nazis and the Soviets. Most of these enemies have disappeared without a trace (yemach shemo literally).
I believe there is another one in our lifetimes that has quietly gone under the radar. Remember Gamal Abdel Nasser. You and I no doubt do, but I bet that anyone on our forum under 30 has never heard of him. More importantly his ideology which was a secular pan Arab nationalism was all the rage in the 1950s and 1960s. At one time there was serious discussion of Egypt, Sudan and Libya merging into one nation. Khadafi was a diisciple of Nasser. Syria and Iraq could be viewed as following his path at one time.
Today Khadafi is a joke and even turned pro American when we were scaring him. Saddam Hussein is decomposing and his nation might end up as a Muslim theocracy, or (thin chance) a pro western Democracy but it will never be a secular state led by a pan Arab strongman. Syria might be said to be following the Nasser model but is more of an Iranian client nation. Nasser's pan Arab nationalism virtually does not exist any more yet for years he was all the rage in Arab lands and the very embodiment of the Arab enemy. Sounds to me like just another Jewish enemy who disappeared when we stood up to him. May Hamas, Fatah, and the Iranian Mullahs follow the same path.
Maimonides:
Shalom Chaim and Thank you as always for your hard work and for answering my questions.
What do you think of the shooting of homosexuals in Tel-Aviv last week? Do you believe the shooter, if he did it for religious reasons, should be punished?
Abben:
Hello Chaim since New York City is so left wing, do you ever think we will ever have a strong right wing mayor or governor anytime soon? Thanks and GD bless
