bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiemIn the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful=== News Update ===Muslim conspiracy to rule world just nonsenseWe had Wahhabism. We had the madrassas. We had the houris of Heaven. Now we have the caliphate. 
Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld et al have been raising the spectre of a worldwide Islamic rule by a caliph, as envisaged by Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab Zarqawi and other terrorists.The chances of a caliphate coming are zero. But raising its spectre helps keep Americans scared. Never mind that, just as the reasons given for the Iraq war proved false, the explanations offered for terrorism have not met the test of time either.
When 15 of the 19 terrorists of 9/11 turned out to have been Saudis, Washington and its apologists blamed Wahhabism, the essentialist Islam practised in Saudi Arabia. The problem with that theory was that the Saudi ruling family, the guardians of Wahhabism, was and remains the staunchest ally of the 
U.S. and guarantor of its energy needs.http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1134559791566&call_pageid=970599119419

http://www.bushcommission.org/===Why Must Congress Nazify America?Why is the Nazification and conversion of our former republic to full blown fascism so important to GOP republican, Congressman James Sensenbrenner? It was he who chaired and then stormed out of a meeting convened to debate the merits of the Hitlerian USA PATRIOT Act. Didnt his tyrannical act deliberately prevent debate in order to ram this godammed fascist legislation down Americans throats? Obviously, just like his fascist leader, G. Bush, he sees the Constitution as just a godammed piece of paper and this wonderful police state authorization as manna from heaven! Gott Mitt Uns Komrade Sensenbrenner! Heil Bush!

What has caused so much offence this time is his call on the Europeans to find a place for Israel on their own territory, where Jews were initially persecuted.

http://web.amnesty.org/pages/stoptorture-renditions-eng===That US image problemUS President George W Bush yet once again has blamed the Arab media for his country's image problem. 
"I recognize we got an image issue, particularly when you have television stations, Arabic television stations that are constantly just pounding America - saying America is fighting Islam, Americans can't stand Muslims, this is a war against a religion," Bush commented following a speech in Philadelphia on December 12. 
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/GL16Ak01.html===Counting Iraqi Casualties: Why didn't the press ask? Throughout the Iraq War, the mainstream media have shown little interest in documenting or quantifying the suffering of Iraqis. But a recent comment by George W. Bush provoked an unexpected round of discussion of the topic.
At the close of a public event on December 12, Bush took questions from the audience. And the very first question was unusually direct: "I'd like to know the approximate total of Iraqis who have been killed. And by Iraqis, I include civilians, military police, insurgents, translators."
Bush's response: "How many Iraqi citizens have died in this war? I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis."
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2778===No elections will be credible while occupation continues  Iraq's current political process will not solve the crisis. Only a US and British pullout and a UN sponsored poll can do that
Iraq has a long history of civilisation that has contributed both knowledge and wisdom to humanity. For many centuries, Islam also immunised Iraq against religious or sectarian strife and protected its population from the oppression that peoples of the ancient world had been subjected to. Generation after generation of Iraqis succeeded in maintaining peaceful coexistence among their diverse sects and races, despite the hardships and challenges they faced. It is by virtue of this cohesion that Iraq managed to rise up again and put its house in order in the wake of every calamity.

Bush on Wednesday defended his decision to invade that country and reserved the right to preemptive war in the future.
