MOSCOW, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Russia's top Muslim authority said an attack on a Muslim prayer house last week was designed to stir up religious and inter-ethnic hatred.

Transcript - Georege Galloways September 19, 2005 speech in Chicago:
[Regarding 9/11] it may appear that these airplanes came out of a clear blue sky, but I believe that these monsters emerged from a deep swamp of hatred and bitterness and enmity which exists against us all over the world but particularly in the Muslim world because of the policies of injustice that we have visited upon them for so many years. Now I have a responsibility to say that because I know that to be true

The Mindless American: A Tragedy In The Making
In Hitlers Germany there was a determined effort to brainwash the people so they might support Mein Fuhrers efforts to conquer the world. However, what if one were to suggest that much the same is occurring in the United States of America, that there has been a determined effort through the socializing influence of our schools, the government, the mass media, the churches we attend, even that of our own parents, to pressure us into believing (just as Hitler) that our country has received the blessing of God.

Is US going to war with Iran?
The US army and marines are heavily committed in Iraq, but soldiers could be found if the Bush administration were intent on invasion. Donald Rumsfeld has been reorganising the army to increase front-line forces by a third. More importantly, naval and air force firepower has barely been used in Iraq. Just 120 B52 and stealth bombers could target 5,000 points in Iran with satellite-guided bombs in just one mission. It is for this reason that John Pike of globalsecurity.org thinks that a US attack could come with no warning at all.
