comment 12 Dec 08, 4:00pm

Oh no. Not those buses again. Why is that atheiststend to do silly things like this. Why cant they everjust be normal and use their reason. Atheiststhemselves are not sure about God. Atheists "Lord",Prof Richard Dawkins, says there MAY be a God, butprobably does not exists. I mean come on, make up yourmind professor. Is there or isnt there? How on earthcan atheists, on one hand preach to the rest of usthat we are wrong in believing in a God, and, on theother hand, go on to claim that there may be a Godafter all. See what I mean? They are not using theirheads. They need to calm down and FIRST settle thequestion in their own heads BEFORE telling us that weare crazy. Atheists just want everyone to jump ontheir bandwagon. Perhaps this gives them comfort thatthey must be right. Presently they have a lot of doubtabout whether God does exist or not. They are notsure. Just take a look and you will easily notice itin their behaviour. A bit more evolution of the brainshould make atheists think a little more clearly, andthen we might see them take the bus whose driver knowswhere he is taking them. Current Atheist bus has onit: Destination Unknown.

Iran says God's Wrath is on America right now.Economic crises is Divine Punishment for US crimes inIraq. Ahmadinejad said in UN speech that Israelilobbies control fianancial institution and corruptionis rife which has caused the crises. Ayatollah hassaid that US is sinking and will take down all onboard. He advised EU to jump ship or else they toowill drown with the Titanic. We used to think he wasinsane. But recent events have proven him right. TodayUS car industry is collapsing. It seems God is notkilling anyone. The Almighty is only taking wealthaway from world's superpower.

Britain leaves Iraq in shame.The US won't go so quietly

My comment 11 Dec 08, 12:46pm

Iraq war will finish US power in the Middle East. Mostexperts now admit that US Superpower status is nomore. As they say: The bigger they are the harder theyfall. Cowboys thought that they can go in guns blazingand hire their blackwater thugs and this would easilyintimidate the Iraqis into submission. Then they wouldmilk Iraq for its oil for free for 2 or 3 decades.This is the level of their think tanks. It nevercrossed the minds of these "thick tanks" that theywould be confronting people whose delight in suicidebombings and jihad is their way of life. US militarywoke up this reality in 2004. Mehdi Army smashed itsglass plan into bits. Now, the US army does not knowwhich to way to run. It is desperately looking for anexit to flee from. But there isnt any. Iran supremeleader had said in 2003: US will leave Iraq defeatedand humiliated. He knew what Iraqis wold do toAmerican forces. Vietnam has come back all over again.

Parents do not need to be treated like children andtold whats best for their kids. Government needs toshow a bit of respect for parents rights.
2. There are far more dangerous diseases out there,Meascles has killed only 4 or 5 children in 10 years.Other illnesses that kill thousands of people needtaxpayer's money for reasearch. Why pour millions ofpounds into a something as docile as measles. It hasso far only killed ONE child, and that too was mostprobably by the mistake of the hospital!!

In my university I met some scientists who do notaccept the Theory of Evolution. The story that mencame from monkey is a fantacy. It is a theory. It isnot a scientific fact. Today it is still taught inschools and collages as a thoery. If it was true, likeearth being round, then evolution theory would betaught to children as a fact. But sadly for Atheist,who cling on to this monkey story like fanatics, itis nothing but a tale. Until scientists agree on it,we all wait. There is currently a difference ofopinion. Scientists are not all united on the monkeystory. Most believe it, Others reject it. We laypeople rely on scientists to get their facts straightbefore telling us things.

I have many muslims friends. From discussion with themI get the idea that muslims have a strong dislike ofPope because they believe he deliberately insultedProphet Mohammed. They have still not forgiven thePope for that offence. Tariq thinks meeting the Popewould help bring christians and muslims together. Itsa noble idea but the reality is that its nothing butwhishful thinking. If Pope was sincere he would offerreal apology to muslims for saying bad things abouttheir Prophet. Until he does that, he is unfit to takepart in relationbuiling attempts. Muslims see these asnothing but PR excercises. Photo oppertunites for theVatican.

Is he more powerful than Jesus nor less.Is Bible word of God or word of men. Has it beenaltered by men or not, can we trust it or not.

One crazy gentleman who believed in Superman but notGod thought he had killed God. Obviously he knew onlyChristinaity or Hindu gods. He had evidently not heardof ALA the muslim god, or Elohim, the Jewish supergod.Today Dawkins is likewise making another attempt tomurder the divinity. He is telling people throughadverts that they should forget about life afterdeath. He claims that it is more probable that thereis no god out there. He doesnt sound too sure. Hewrites in his book God Delusion that there is a remotechance that God does exist. He does not rule out thepossibility of God's existence. Now you can understandthat why God is still alive. Professors cant make uptheir mind and appear to be still digging to find outthe answer to the question of whether God does or doesnot exist. Dawkins is supposed to be a hard coreAtheist leader. If this is the condition of Atheists'leader, I weep for the flock. They must really havelots of doubts like their master Dawkins that maybethere is a God. They are all doubting Thomases.

Atheists, enjoy life?My comment 24 Oct 08, 4:53pm
If Atheists did enjoy life, they would have said "There is NO God and we are very happy. So should yoube." But instead they came up with a timid "There isPROBABLY no God."
The ad is historic. It is a pathetic indictment oftheir current condition in the 21st century. The"Ayatollah" of Athiests Professor Dawkins was grilledon Newsnight by Jeremy Paxman and forced to admit thathe cannot rule out the existence of a Creator. Darwinsrottweiler caved into God's doberman.
The point is atheists should either put up or shut up.They needs to make up their mind. Presently they areno so sure about non-existence of God. Which is why wealways hear their master Dawkins tak about the remotepossibility that God does exists. Come on !! EitherGod exists or he does not. There is no middleposition. If you are not sure, then be honest andsimply admit that you are on the fence. Stop callingyourself Atheists. You are Agnostics!! You are sad.Delusional. You should really start to enjoy life.

Dawkins was once very anti-preachers. But now theAtheists have finally joined the preaching squads.Their launch ad says: "There's probably no God. Nowstop worrying and enjoy your life".
It would have been better if they had said: There isNO god. Why did they say Probably there is no God.Isnt Professor Dawkins sure? Perhaps he is stilldigging? I think he should first be certain before hebegins preachings his dogmas to the rest of us. Atleast the Christians and Muslims are sure that GodDOES exists. Whereas Atheists seems to be sitting onthe fence on the question of God's existence. Theyshould make up their mind and then enter the debate.Dawkins stance is quite embarrasing. Its like McCaintelling Obama he would probably close Guatanamo Bay.Will you or wont you!! What's this "might possibly bea god out there". I mean, come on Dick Dawkins. Be aman a say it.

The real problem is still not being explained by ourleaders to the public. It is as if they at hiding thereal cause of this crisis. All they keep sayiing isthat there is no confidence in financial markets,banks are not trusting each other, there is too muchfear in traders, and so on and on. But they dont tellus WHY are banks NOT trusting each other. What causethis lack of confidence. If it is lack of cash than USand EU provided more than banks could have dreamed of.NO. Things dont add up. My professor says problem atthe heart of this banking crisis is the fact bankstold lies and and said they more valuable than theyreally were. For example. top banks in US and UKstated they had big assets when in fact they had verylittle. They pretended to be rich. In short theirplanes were running on empty and when everyone foundout in late 2007, all the passengers panicked andwanted out immediately. House of cards build of lies.Our leaders know exactly this fact. That is why theyare trying to call for "transparency" in the future.But banking buisiness is not run on honesty. It isbuilt on lies. Until this is tackled properly andbanks fined for deception, we are in for a long darktunnel. I think best way to bring honesty is to letthe banks fall if they tell lies. Lehman Brother wassent to the noose. So should others. Let honestbankers come forth and multiply properly.

Facing defeat, Pentagon boss Robert Gates decided tonegotiate with Taliban: He said American army would"ultimately" be prepared to reconcile with the Talibangroup to end the conflict.
This is total humilation of Bush administration aswell of of entire NATO.
US and NATo tried everything they could. When theywere faced with the reality that Taliban will soon winand US will have to make a hasty retreat, then,talking to the enemy began to sound very reasonable.
I suspect they will do exactly the same in Iraq, andin Iran: Try to scare them, and if you cant beat em,then join em. This is the stupid strategy in anutshell.

Short answer: Feargenerated by Neo-Cons and the gang in Washington isthe same fear now eating away western capitalism.Cheney and Co. wished for 9/11. Pearl Harbor waseagerly awaited. they had one on Sept 11, 2001.Neo-cons used the fall of two buildings in New York asa means to make billions.

My economic Professor says this crisis is all aboutministers making sure that banks are able to putordinary people in heavy debt for the rest of theirlives.
But it is being presented on media as somethingcompetely different.
EU and US politicians looked very worried on 7 October2008.They are looking for ways to protect this exploitativesystem.

Will we now be able to hold our heads high and tellother nations to respect human rights when UnitedNation report blames Britain for abusing human rightsof little children. I think the answer is yes. Somepeople will pretend to be on a moral high groundregardless of the fact that their own house stinks ofabuse and oppression. These people and parties - I amthinking David Cameron - will not bury theirhypocritical heads in shame because they think theworld is too stupid to recognise British doublestandards. I guess its also a human right to be ableto hold ridiculous views.

PeterMandelson now presents himself as the prodigal son: Hesaid that he is returning to the "family" becauseBritain is about to attack Germany and France in aneconomic war. Downing Street said that Prince ofDarkness is needed "because he is good for business",and there is now a war, "economic nationalism".Surely, only Satan can now save Britain from sinking."We are one family, in time of war we pull together.His first words: "Its good to be back", "Third timelucky".

When you dont do yourduty, you have to go. I hope the next Chief wouldclean up the tarnished image of London Police. IN 21stcentury Britain should have no place for racism,especially in the police. Government needs to wake up.If it wants to recruit police officers from minorites,then it needs to reassure blacks and asians that theywould be treatred fairly and with respect when theywear the uniform. Ian Blair was accused by his ownfellow officers of being a racist cop. So, many policeofficers would be pleased to see him go. This is a dayof shame for Britain. But I hope its a new start for aclearner then white police force.

Indeed, economists say that US supporters havedeserted Wall Street. America is in economic declineand none of its allies are rushing to help. Why? Thatsbecause, obviously, they dont want to sink with theTitanic. Most economic analysts say that this suckeris doing down. Europe knows the true extent of thefinance damage which the Bush Administation is hindingfrom the American people and from the world markets.If President Bush were to go a head and reveal thatactually US is in a mess that exceeds 5 Trilliondollars, can you imagine the world markets reaction.That is why the soothing figure of 700 billion is putforward to deceive the American public and keep thealready jittery markets from fleeing in panic. Itseems that honesty in capitalism is NOT the bestpolicy. However, US can hide the real figure all theylike, the experts say that traders already know thereality. That is why UK and US has moved to ban shortselling. US will first get 700 bill passed. Then awayfrom cameras will they will try to ask for further 300billion at a time until all the debt bombs have beenbought from the banks and safely disposed of.

If you have beenreading Telegraph, you would not have failed to noticethat since 2003, the papers has turned intopro-neo-con war-mongering newspaper. It has beenopenlly advocating bombing of Iran and further troopdeployment in Afghanistan. Telegraph writers have beenagainst pulling troops out of Iraq. It is blindlypro-Israel and anti-Palestinian.

The problem with atheists is that they dislikecriticism. Even people like Richard Dawkins hate beingcriticised. That is why we never see him debate withscientists who are his critics and express doubts onhis version of evolution. We see Dawkins talking tothe converted. Dawkins believes that theory ofevolution is a fact, when clearly it is taught as atheory in our collages and universities, People likehim dont like to be told that they are not using theirreason correctly. It is well known that scientists aredivided on the monkey story. Some scientists sayhumans came from apes, some scientists say we are notsure, These scientists have doubts about evolution.They say evolution still has a chance of being provenwrong.
So we wonder why is evolution thoery presented as afact as if it was establised like, say, Earth is roundand not flat. We should not pretend something to be afact when scientists say it is not. No one can wishevolution to become a fact however much they mighthave blind faith in this unproven monkey tale. MostAthiests tend to abuse logic when they are confrontedwith real criticism. Try it with them and see themreact. They begin changing the subject, or get angry,or begin making absurd statements.

Some people have said here that Jews control theworld. Conspiracy groups say. Maybe. Other say. Nothey dont. Jews do not control the world. They justrun Washington; and even that they have now messed up- credit crunch and financial chaos with food pricesand wars in Georgia with Israeli military ties sellingbillions worth of arms, and now in India where bombsgo off so that they can move in to provide "securty"and earn billions more.
Who listens to all this?
Afghanistan is NOT a hotbed of Israeli activity likeGeorgia is.
No. Afghanistan is a hotbed of hotheads like Talibans.Afghan war is about to get large. NATO and US isheading for a spectacular defeat like the one in Iraqis now almost complete. Retreat is now in sight forwestern policy now that its good ally Pakistan'sPresident Musharraf has been ousted by MI6 - yes wedid it - it was not CIA this time - they are too busychasing ghosts, water boarding prisoners, abusingsuspects in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, and tappingphones their own populations - idiots.
No doubt Russia will use Afghanistan to teach US andNATO a lesson they will not forget. Putin will avengeUS for arming the Talibans when Russia was invadingKabul. History repeats itself.

Basic fact that should be clear to everyone by now, isthat America does not want to do anything aboutdestruction of our planet. Claimate change or norclimate change, they put their lifestyle beforeEuropeam concerns about global warming and impendingcatastrophie. Americans dont give a damn until theysee their countrymen actually drowning as see levelsrise.
Some people are now beginning to wonder why Al Gorewas there, and what exactly did he achieve. He did notreally condemn his country for wrecking the future ofour planet. He simply wanted to world to "ignore" USand save the planet. Basically, all that Al Gore wastrying to achieve for past 2 years of spin andpropanada is for world to clean up as America spillspolution into the atmosphere. He said it openly thathe wants to see world to let US carry on polluting theenvironment. Some analyists were amazed that Al Gloredid not call for sanctions against American firms thatpour carbon into the air. If al Gore was really honestand serious about the health of our planet, then heshould have called for EU to penalise United States.But we did not see that. He is part of USadministration and part of the way that his countrythinks.
US does not care about global warming. So what ifNetherlands and parts of "limey" Britain go underwater. Unless the rest of the world punishes US forits pollutions with sanctions and boytcots of USgoods, then all these summits in the future willcontinute to fail to protect our planet. EU companiesshould ditch Microcoft Windows as a warning to US.British should also show their anger with not buyingAmerica products. This might get some sense into thosethick skulls.

As any zealot would, Dawkins was trying to"convince" some school kids of his beliefs. PerhapsDawkins was "affraid" to take on some men of sciencewho express a few suspicions about Darwin's theory.These scientists would have been too tough for thedoc. Hence, he stuck to children.
In that one hour TV program, Dawkins was trying hisbest to somehow avoid scientists who are his critics.Children had no chance against the doc. I thinkDawkins knew that. Which is why he did not try thesame tactics with the scientists. So, me and some ofmy university friends did have

Anyneutral observer can see that Israel is panicking atthe prospect of giving up much of the land it hadoccupied since 1967. It knows that even Jerusalem willeventually have to be reliquished, at least as anInternational City governed by the UN. In 2003, itbegun clutching at straws by quickly building theillegal wall.

Now, thanks to US threats, Iranian topreligious cleric has hinted that in the face ofaggression from the "Great Satan", Iranian are nowjustified in arming themselves with nuclear weapons.History will now doubt record that it was US thatmanaged to create a nuclear armed Iran.

America has been humiliated in the middle east. Ofthis there is no doubt. It now wields no influence.Experts see US panacking to restore its image of powerand glory. Too late. Iran has now moved in. US policyhas been an utter failure since 9/11. It could notcontain Iran's nuclear ambitions. It made adisgraceful u-turn last month further eroding UScredibility. NIE report gave Iran moral high groundand unstobble momentum. US has also failed inAfghanistan. Its defence secretary Robert Gates isleft begging France, Germany, Poland and others tohelp out in the fight against resurgent Taliban. Andthen there is Iraq. What a history that country willmake for the United States. Analysts think it would bea worse CV than Vietnam. Children the world over willbe listening to stories how US retreated in ahumiliated defeat by a bunch of Iraqi rebels. It isagainst this background that President Bush isdesperate to secure some sort of success in middleeast. Annapolis conference to get Palestinians andIsraeli to make peace was a pathetic attemp thatfailed misrablely. The most important players in themiddle east who now hold the destiny of the entireregion, and hence the world, in their hands, namelythe democratically elected Hamas, Lebanon, and Iranrefused to attend the US sponsored peace summit. Bushhas only 8 months left before a new president iselected. Mr President will be toothless after that.That is why Israel is now being pressured byWashington to give up its long held areas evenJerusalem and make room for Palestinians state. Whydid US not try to do this straight after 9/11? Allexperts and think tanks said that Israeli-Arabsconflict is a recruting tool for Al Qaeda. US bombedIraq which was innocent of 9/11. Now US paying a heavyprice for that stupid decision which was pushed by thesix major Israeli lobbies in Washington such AIPAC andBrooking Institute.
If US wants peace and its image restored than it hasto order Israel to move back to the borders recognisedby UN at the time of its creation in 1948. Israel hasto end its brutal occuptation of Arab land. It is nouse calling for Palestinians state in 1967 borders. In1967 Israel invaded and occupied large areas. Arabsare not forgetting that. US is trying to alter thereality on the ground. Iran and Syria will not acceptanything less that the Israeli State as orginallydrawn by UN.

This is why it even backed downagainst Iran in a nuclear standoff.
Ms Bhutto was about to dare US into entering Pakistanand start a new battle with Taliban and the extremistsin country's rugged tribal regions. This would havecost US billions of dollors more. US economy is is invery bad shape. A new war would have buried US economyinto a long recession. Therefore, US decided to buryBhutto instead. IF US decided not to order its troopsinto Pakistan even after being given green light, thenwhole world would have mocked US as chickens who ranaway from Taliban. This would have been a disgrace forUS' arrogant pride. Hence, to save itself fromhumilation, as well to protect its economy, CIA had tostop Benazir who would have dared asked US forces tocome into Pakistan. This means this was a cowardlymurder. US was too scared to go into a new war.Benazir's killing was an economic murder. It was alsoa assassination out of cowardice.

World newsPakistan · Middle EastPlan B for PakistanMy comment 28 Dec 07, 4:07pm
On the internet I read that there are two possiblereasons for killing Benazir Bhutto; and both of thesemotives point to US as the assassin.
1. Bhutto's return to Paksitan was plotted by US.Washington made a deal with her to make alliance withMusharraf and then clean up tribal areas of Talibanand extremists who are threatening US and NATO forcesin Afghanistan. Bhutto did not obey US wishes andripped up the secret deal. Instead, she made new dealwith her rival - Nawaz Sharif. She has to be killed.CIA recruited some angry extremists and used to themto take her out. Sharif is seen with great suspisionby Washington. They dont like to see him in power inIslamabad.
2. Benazir Bhutto made promise to US and when shewins, she will let US troops cross into Paksitan'stribal areas to fight Talibans. US realised that thiswould mean that a new third front would open in thewar on terror. Going into Paksitan would be too costlyto already struggling US economy. US cannot afford anew war. America people are screaming to bring hometheir soldiers. Therefore, US feared that after Bhuttobecomes Prime Minister, and offers a "blank cheque" toUS military to enter Paksitan, White House would notbe able to refuse to fight. This would leave no optionfor US and troops will have to go into Paksitan - ie athird front in the war. Hence, to stop that fromhappening, Benazir would have to be preventented fromtaking pwoer in Pakistan. She is too popular not towin. So, she had to be "taken out". As usual, the CIAsomehow got some "angry young muslims" to do theirdirty job for them.

In early 2007, he was reported to have saidthat NATO cannot do anything in Afghanistan withouthis help. Some think-tanks saw that as a last straw.He had to go.

This isa bad enough in itself. Mahdi militas were saying thatBritish army is at the airport 'ready to take flight'.
We had promised Iraqis to make their city secure anddisarm the militants. We failed. Defence Committeesaid two weeks ago that we were beaten in Basra by theMahdi Army. Its leaders Al Sadr is still at large. Wehave not managed to capture him or kill him.
Yesterday's handoever ceremony was a disgrace to ourarmed services. It was conducted at the airport. BBC'sAndrew North said it straight: that airport was chosenbecause British troops were 'affraid of being bombed'in Basra town hall. This shows utter humuliation ofBritain. Militas are celebrating this as a victory oftheir bloody campaign. Britain lost 170 brave soldiersand did not achieve anything in return.
The simple truth must be admitted which is that is inthe battle for control of Basra, British army fledfrom the Iraq's Shi'ite militas. Until we come clean,we will not correct out mistakes.

After Annapolis conference in November 2007, some EUexperts say that Israel is most likely to be"finsihed", to use Prime Minster Olmert's own phrase.Why? Because, they say Israel has succeeded increating the most formidable enemies that any nationhas ever faced. Israel's brutal repression in 1987created Hamas. Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982created Hezbollah. Israel threats and warmongeringtowards Iran has brought Islamic Revolution that isalmost nuclear armed if it so choses. These foes areone which Israel is fearing. It cannot do anythingtowards them. In the name of "defence" Israel hastried and failed every method, evil and inhumane, tosuppress and destroy its enemies.
Today analysts agree that Israel is more insecure andfacing extinction than ever before. For example,Israel was undefeated against all nations up to 2000.In May 2000, Israel fled south Lebanon security zoneit had created after Hezbollah militants won fierce 3year guerilla campagin. This retreat was simlilar toBritish army fleeing Basra after suffering siege andbombardment by the Mehdi Army in Basra for nineconsecutive months.
Israel also was beaten last year. Our own Britishmedia reported that better armed Israeli military wasdefeated by poorly armed Hezbollah in July 2006.Israel real or imagiary "invinsibility" was destroyedby Syrian backed Lebanese guerillas. It is no surprisetherefore that Iran is claming that US vision of "newmiddle east" was crushed by Hassan Nasrallah, theHezbollah Chief. Israel has no option now but tosurrender Jerusalem. Otherwise, this may be the lastchristmas for Israel in which US "gave you my heart".All the signs are that US is slowly but surelyabandoning Israel. It cannot contintue to make enemiesof 800 million Arabs at the expense of 14 millionIsraelis.

Americans dont give a damn until theysee their countrymen actually drowning as see levelsrise.
Some people are now beginning to wonder why Al Gorewas there, and what exactly did he achieve. He did notreally condemn his country for wrecking the future ofour planet. He simply wanted to world to "ignore" USand save the planet.

If al Gore was really honestand serious about the health of our planet, then heshould have called for EU to penalise United States.But we did not see that. He is part of USadministration and part of the way that his countrythinks.
US does not care about global warming. So what ifNetherlands and parts of "limey" Britain go underwater.

Experts say it is in this light that the new pro-Iranreport by NIE is understaood. US now badly wants totalk to Iran. Only Iran can reign in Sadr so that USforces can exit without being shot as they withdraw.American dread the Vietnam senario. It scares the hellout of them.

US has no intention of waging a war on Iran. It isalready in deep crisis in both Afghanistan and inIraq. There was no way it Bush was stupid enough toopen a third front. US knew that Iran was not jokingwhen it vowed to "nail the United States" in theMiddle East if it dared to attack Iran. Analysts thinkthat Washington has been only trying to scare Iraninto confession. All the war rhetroric by Bush andCheney with sending aircraft carriers to near Iran,was an attempt to frighten Iran into line. But afterPutin blunty told US that Iranians are not scared ofyou, then it was decided to do a uturn and releasethis report which vindicated Iran. Report says Iranhalted weapons program in 2003. But who can trust eventhis "estimate". In a few months or a year, CIA mayeven revise this guesswork and probably say Iran neverhad a nuclear weapons program; we were wrong allalong.
Experts suggest that US will use the latest report toscare other countries into believing that if Iran canhad intentions in 2003 to build nukes, than it caneasily have them again, and we all must need to workto prevent Iran from even having the intention ofgoing back ever again. The argument is claerly astupid one. Iran has clearly beaten United States inevery way in the Middle East.

It is obvious to everyone that it was Israel that wasall along leading the campaign of suspision, hatredand eventual war against Iran. Because Iran is adirect threat to Israel and not to anyone else. USexperts have said that Iran poses no security threatto America. Some US professors have said that it isIsrael that has been acting paranoid since the timePresident Ahmadinejad denied Holocaust and said Israelwill one day be history. Israel believes that if Iranmanages to convince the world about Holocaust, thenthe bases of its existence is removed.
Therefore, since 2005, Israeli leaders have usedpowerful Jewish lobbies in Washington, London andParis to demonise Iran and scare both Europe and USthat Iran is a danger to them as well.
At Annapolis US has given Israel just one years tillthe end of 2008 to make final peace with Arabs or elseUS will end its support for Israel. US has realisedthat Israeli-Palesitinian conflict is a majorrecruiting took for extremists around the world.Muslims blame US support for Israel for persecution ofPalestinians. This generates hatred towards the westin general and US in particular. US now is forcingIsrael to behave in a civilised manner.

EvenIsraeli polls show many Israeli see Annapolis as afailure. Millions of arabs see not only Annapolis is afailure, but that it may have been a final goodbye tothe state of Israel. Muslims see Iran backingHezbollah and Hamas to confront Israel. On Annapolisday, President Ahmadinejad of Iran spelled this outwhen he said it is impossible for Israel to survive.Ehud Olmert also fears that unless a viablePalestinian state is granted, Israel too wont last.From the history of talks, I fear the worst forIsrael.

Americans thought Afghans will be a piece of cake. Itseemes that way in 2002, which is why they thoughtIraq will be an apple pie. Well, was it. All that theexperts can see are a pile of American teeth on thefloor. Iraqis and Afghan are not an easy prey. Theyknocked all almost all all 32 teeth of the arrogantcowboys. Some molars remains and Iran is helpingextract those. You can hear the cries of pains fromWashington. I think US military was provided to muchsugar. By the time Iraq reality has sunk in, I thinkUS will not take Muslims either for fools, or ascowards. I mean, how can US have been so stupid.People who are not afraid to blow themselves up, arethey really going to let foreign forces occupy theircountry, and search their homes with kick smash theirdoors? What on earth was US thinking. Our General SirMike Jackson got it spot on when he called Americanplanners thick (intellectually bankrupt). Withoutwinning hearts and minds of Afghan, Pakistan, andIran, US and EU can forget about pipe lines and pipedreams. Humiliation and disgrace seems to be lined upfor world's most powerful nation. Now, Iran has saidthat it will crucify the great satan. The bigger theyare, the harder they fall. Thats always true.World newsAfghanistan · European Union · Nato · Middle EastHouseof fraudMy comment 29 Oct 07, 6:32pm
I think Us is actually scared to oppose the Saudisbecause it knows that they have too much power andinfluence all over the world, and any move against theSaudis would unleash terror funded by their trillionpetro dollars. Why else would US being hit on 9/11 bySaudis - and no Afhgans - leave Saudis and bombAfhhanistan and invade Iraq, threaten Iran, and eyeSyria, who had absolutely nothing to do with attackson New York. US is clearly not actually serious aboutfighting terrorism. Its simply the case that somepeople are making billions in this ridiculous war onterror. As long as this happens, there will be no endin sight.World newsSaudi Arabia · Al-Qaida · The BAE files · Osama binLadenWhat they want to hearMy comment 29 Oct 07, 6:52pm
One reporter once asked me if it is ok to tortureterrorist suspect to get information. Of course heonly meant "muslims suspects" but did not have honestyto admit his racism. So I had to break it to him. Isaid: "By all means torture should be done to allterror suspects, those who are born muslim, and eventhose who convert to Islam. So lets say your son orbrother converted to Islam and was arrested underterrorism law; I say torture him too." Whatever he waswriting speedly, he slowed down and looked at me forabout 20 seconds. I think he realised the utter evilof torture whatever the crime maybe.
If I may modify Christ's immoratal words: Do ontoothers what you would have done to your family. Thatknocks reality of anything into our otherwise "busy"heads.MediaWorld newsIslam · Global terrorismThere is no honour in murderMy comment 29 Oct 07, 7:29pm

I think Nashashibi has not watched these type of filmsproperly. Read between the lines and you see how muchthese films are meant to spread fear and hatredtowards the muslims. I saw Rendition last week. Afterwatching one can clrealy see that the film wasdesigned to make sure that west constanly keepslooking over its shoulders. It gave no assurancesabout either the wrong sterotypes about the muslims,or about what the faith of Islam actually is.Rendition succeeded in demonising muslims everfurther. Same can be observed by watching The Kindgom.That film also is made to scare people about muslims,and expecially about the "irrationality" of theirreligion. In both films Ameicans are somehow justifiedin doing bad things to muslims, such as torture,because "we cant tell a good muslim from a bad one"excuse if presented thoughout the length of the film.Watch them again carefully. If they did the same withChristianity or Jews, there would have been uproars.Hollywood continues to serve the neo-cons and theIsraeli lobby in United States. Anti-Muslims pressurein relentless and has in no way abated.

How can US be expected to handle Iranians when itcannot handle Iraq. For past 4 years we have all seenswhat the Iraqis have done to the United States. IfIran is determined to gain nuclear weapons thenbombing cannot stop them. US knows this and Europeknows this. So why would US want to bomb Iran.President of Iran said the west does not want to seeIran gain advanced knowledge. They are only happy tosee us learn about tractors and bikes. Nuclearexpertiose is intolerable for west. He vowed to makeIran a superpower in the next ten years. And last weekAhmadinenejad dared US to attack his country. He saidhe will teach US a historic lesson. Putin has told USthat there is no point trying to scare Iranian. Theyare not scared. It seems that it is Britain and EUthat may be biggest losers if Iran wins and US losesafter all that tough talk. Prime Minister must clearlydistance himself from US and pretend to be following adifferent line to Tony Blair. Britain belongs in theMiddle East. US is about to be kicked out permanently.

Some people have said that pro-Israeli lobbies havegot a strangle hold in the US. They have actuallydestroyed free America. Now these type of groups aremoving into Britain and Europe to do the same. Israelipressure groups have set up headquaters in Paris,Brussels and other capitals ... Germany is too scaredto talk because if they speak up anything againstIsrael or Jews, they keep getting reminded that theystill have Nazis blood in them. That often does thetrick. Since 9/11 things have gone for the worst allover Canada, France, Holland, Denmark, Britain, US,and even Italy. Maybe the conpiracy people are justparanoid, But maybe they are right. Iran Presidentcertainly keeps telling Europe not to follow Americanto ruins by letting AIPAC like lobbies take too muchpower.

Us actually has convinced itself that it can succeedin pshing other nations into whatever it wants. Well,not anymore. Iraq war is the end of US power. It wasworst mistake America made. US defeat in Iraq isalmost miraculous. Never in history has a superpowerbeen disgraced like US in Iraq. Having to arms yourenemies who last week had been killing your troops isprobably the most humiliating episode in humanhistory. President Bush deserves the awards forGalatic Moron.

As usual, Ziauddin is clueless. While we all know thataccording to western analysts, US is secretly at warwith President Musharraf, after the latter defiedWashginton in 2006 visit to US and London by sayingthat he could bring western forces to their knees inAfghanistan, we see Mr Sardar goes completely off thetrack. Musharraf never really liked US war on terrorbecause they angered him by threatening to bombPakistan back to the dark ages. Therefore, PakistaniPresident is a reluctant ally. Neo-cons in the US wantto remove him and dismantle his security service, ISI,which they blame for rise of Taliban. Last week it wasrevealed that Britain and US were behind the reutrn ofBenazir Bhutto. Diplomates negotiated with Musharrafto drop criminal charges against Miss Bhutto so thatshe could return. US wants her leading the countrybecause she would do excatly what US orders. Musharrafdoes not obey Washginton as much as they would like.Hence all the trouble he has been fasing since his2006 tour. US does not trust Musharrah. While BenazirBhutto is likey to eat of their hands and secure thecountires nukes and get rid of the feared ISI.
