Hi Mario You sure waste many people's time and to no avail. Your's is a voice in the wilderness with no credibility at all on virtually everything you have ever said on Goanet. When are you going to figure out this simple fact?
Has it ever struck you that in the contemporary world, war is not a step to bring about peaceful resolutions to conflict and that the way to bring this about is primarily through diplomacy, however hard this may appear to be? War can only be of absolutely last resort and your favourite case of Iraq was not one of these by any stretch of the imagination. What Iraq showed was the serious lack of political judgement in the manifestation of American foreign policy. Sadly, it was supported by our poodle-- Blair. Has it ever struck you that the Arabs in the Middle East feel that they have been hard done by with the predominantly Western driven idea and reality of Israel? It is becoming increasingly clear that, they have no time for the UN creation of Israel even though I have been consistent about my wish to have a two state solution--Palestine and Israel. However, until now, Israel has never come clean, nor have you, about the return of all occupied territory as an article of faith to encourage negotiation. The current war is not really about the incursion of Hizbullha to capture two Israeli soldiers. It is much more about the assertion that Israel should get out of substantial occupied lands that it is actively colonising. For the first time, Israel has not found it easy to take on the enemy. Hizbullha has managed to win admiration in the Arab world through its determination and tenacity to take on Israel. Its success, even if limited, has serious implications for those Arab states that have had a cosy relationship with America. The possibility of a Caliphate in the Middle East is now greater than ever, thanks to contemporary American lack of understanding of the world outside its own horizon. Finally, time and demography is on the side of the Palestinian Arabs. Israel had better wake up to this reality and start genuine and honest negotiation urgently. However, if it wants to live in a prison of its own making it is welcome to try. But if it is not careful, as the colonial power that it is, it may well be on its way out whether we like it or not. Cornel PS Re your religious views, I think they are pretty dated and almost medieval. You do sound like consistently uttering the wisdom of Old Testament prophets! You are welcome to this but please stop trying to ram this into people who have moved on from your dinosaur's position where the grey cells appear to have become truly fossilised. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mario Goveia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994!" <goanet@lists.goanet.org> Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 6:01 AM Subject: Re: [Goanet] Exposure of misconceptions with examples _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list Goanet@lists.goanet.org http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
