The Crucifixion of Christ, American Style
To suggest that God, would ever be on the side of an Americaor any country, for that matterwhich attacks poor, defenseless, impoverished people out of revenge, fear, ignorance or greed, contradicts everything I stand for today and, more importantly, died for two thousand years ago.

'Gospel Truth' Gets Robertson in Trouble
The crime of Reverend Pat Robertson was merely to say aloud what drives decision-making in Washington: that violence and murder are acceptable ways of settling international disputes. By comparing Israel's withdrawal from Gaza to Pat Robertson's call to murder, this op-ed from Ecuador's El Comercio demonstrates that humanity survives "between peace and criminality."

American Preacher Contradicts God's Teachings
Having in the past included on his 'hit-list' the Koran and all governments that oppose U.S. policy in the Arab World, the Reverend Pat Robertson has now targeted Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Since Bush has already implemented many of his wishes, this article from Syria's state-run newspaper warns, it would be foolish to ignore Roberton's comments.

The Lords of War
George Bush. "One dead American for every day in office".
President Bush's latest milestone in the war on terror has been predictably ignored in the mainstream media. Bush, who is now in the fifth year of his presidency, has served 1727 days in office. With the death toll in Iraq currently at 1873 servicemen, Bush can now boast that at least one American has died for every day he's been in office; a sobering tribute to a man who wants to be remembered "a war president".

Finding Closure
While in Iraq, I never once saw a terrorist with extreme inclinations for senseless bloodshed, but only angry farmers and shop keepers who for one reason or another wish to end our empirical domination over their homeland. What I saw was an honest insurrection fought by average citizens.

WHY WE MUST LEAVE IRAQ
Sometimes in life there are no good options. It is part of our nature to always assume that we can fix a problem. But in life there are many problems or situations where there is no pleasant solution. If you were at the Windows on the World Restaurant in the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 9 am on September 11, 2001 you had no good options. You could choose to jump or to burn to death. Some choice.

The Silence of Elie Wiesel: How to be a Good Victim:
The logic by which the Zionists have blamed the Palestinians is quite extraordinary. They demand that the victim must empathize with his tormentor; he must understand his tormentor's grief, the grief that drives him to torment his victims, and the terrible grief he feels even as he torments his victims.
