RE: [RollTideFan] Re: Thinking About Football
Ahhh, so many questions about Shula but no real answers are available *yet*. We should be able to start answering those questions by season's end. In my mind this is his first *real* season as head coach. We'll see soon enough if the young coach has what it takes to coach championship football.

RE: [RollTideFan] Pettway named Academic All-SEC
Congrats to this fine young man! Glad to have been able to enjoy his play at the Capstone! D -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick McMahan Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 6:25 PM To: RollTideFan Subject: [RollTideFan] Pettway named Academic All-SEC ROLL TIDE! Rick TUSCALOOSA - Antoine Pettway, the six-foot even senior point guard whose fire on the court drew national attention as a part of the University of Alabama basketball team's success story, is leaving the University an even bigger hero, this time in the classroom. On Monday Pettway was named Academic All-Southeastern Conference. The Alberta, Ala., native who helped lead Alabama to its first NCAA Elite 8 appearance will graduate in May with a degree in health care management. To make the honor roll, an athlete must be a sophomore or higher in academic standing and have a 3.0 or higher grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). Antoine continues to make us proud, said Crimson Tide head basketball coach Mark Gottfried who was an Academic All-SEC player himself at Alabama in 1987 as a communications major. He works hard at everything he does, whether it's on the basketball floor or in the classroom. Pettway's inclusion on the 2004 Academic All-SEC Honor Roll brings to 16 the number of league academic standouts Gottfried has produced at Alabama since his first season six years ago as head coach in 1998-99. And Alabama's list of academic standouts since the league first started honoring classroom work includes some of the Crimson Tide's biggest names in basketball, including Robert Horry who has won five NBA World Championships, three with the LA Lakers and two with the Houston Rockets. Horry was Academic All-SEC in 1992 as was former NBA player Eric Washington in 1996, 2002 SEC Player of the Year Erwin Dudley, and Alabama's first 1st round NBA draft pick, All-American Leon Douglas who was named Academic All-SEC in 1974. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan!

Re: [RollTideFan] The Roots of Iraq's Rebellion (Non Bama - duh!!)
Please stop sending. Thank you. From: Joel Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2004/04/13 Tue PM 01:48:27 EDT To: 'RollTideFan' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RollTideFan] The Roots of Iraq's Rebellion (Non Bama - duh!!) Something for a slow day. The Roots of Iraq's Rebellion by Daniel Pipes New York Sun April 13, 2004 The current insurrection in Iraq was discernable a year ago, as I already noted in April 2003: Thousands of Iraqi Shiites chanted 'No to America, No to Saddam, Yes to Islam a few days ago, during pilgrimage rites at the holy city of Karbala. Increasing numbers of Iraqis appear to agree with these sentiments. They have ominous implications for the coalition forces. The recent wave of violence makes those implications fully apparent. Two factors in particular made me expect Iraqi resistance. First, the quick war of 2003 focused on overturning a hated tyrant so that, when it was over, Iraqis felt liberated, not defeated. Accordingly, the common assumption that Iraq resembled the Germany and Japan of 1945 was wrong. Those two countries had been destroyed through years of all-out carnage, leading them to acquiesce to the post-war overhaul of their societies and cultures. Iraq, in contrast, emerged almost without damage from brief hostilities and Iraqis do not feel they must accept guidance from the occupation forces. Rather, they immediately showed a determination to shape their country's future. Second, as a predominantly Muslim people, Iraqis share in the powerful Muslim reluctance to being ruled by non-Muslims. This reluctance results from the very nature of Islam, the most public and political of religions. To live a fully Muslim life requires living in accord with the many laws of Islam, called the Sharia. The Sharia includes difficult-to-implement precepts pertaining to taxation, the judicial system, and warfare. Its complete implementation can occur only when the ruler himself is a pious Muslim (though an impious Muslim is much preferable to a non-Muslim ). For Muslims, rule by non-Muslims is an abomination, a blasphemous inversion of God's dispensation. This explains why one finds a consistently strong resistance to rule by non-Muslims through 14 centuries of Muslim history. Europeans recognized this resistance and in their post-crusades global expansion stayed largely away from majority-Muslim territories, knowing these would awesomely resist their control. The pattern is striking: For over four centuries, from 1400 to 1830, Europeans expanded around the world, trading, ruling, and settling - but distinctly in places where Muslims were not, such as the Western Hemisphere, sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, and Australia. In a clear pattern of avoidance, the imperial powers -Britain, France, Holland, and Russia especially - took control of far-away territories, while carefully avoiding their Muslim neighbors in North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Only in 1830 did a European power (France) find the confidence frontally to confront a Muslim state (Algeria). Even then, the French needed 17 years just to control the coastal region. As European rulers conquered Muslim lands, they found they could not crush the Islamic religion, nor win the population over culturally, nor stamp out political resistance. However suppressed, some embers of resistance remained; these often sparked a flame of anti-imperialism that finally drove the Europeans out. In Algeria, a successful eight-year effort, 1954-62, expelled the French colonial authority. Nor was the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq the first Western undertaking to unburden Muslims of tyrannical rule. Already in 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte appeared in Egypt with an army and declared himself a friend of Islam who had come to relieve the oppressed Egyptians of their Mamluk rulers. His successor as commander in Egypt, J.F. Menou, actually converted to Islam. But these efforts to win Egyptian goodwill failed, as Egyptians rejected the invaders' proclaimed good intentions, and remained hostile to French rule. The European-run mandates set up in the Middle East after World War I included similar lofty intentions and also found few Muslim takers. This history suggests that the coalition's grand aspirations for Iraq will not succeed. However constructive its intentions to build democracy, the coalition cannot win the confidence of Muslim Iraq nor win acceptance as its overlord. Even spending $18 billion in one year on economic development does not improve matters. I therefore counsel the occupying forces quickly to leave Iraqi cities and then, when feasible, to leave Iraq as a whole. They should seek out what I have been calling for since a year ago: a democratically-minded Iraqi strongman, someone who will work with the coalition forces, provide decent government, and move eventually toward a more open political system. This sounds slow, dull, and unsatisfactory. But at least it

Joe National defense is one of the cardinal duties of a statesman. John Adams, letter to James Lloyd, January, 1815 The Founding of the United States of AmericaThought this was VERY interesting.Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of Scripture for the people of this nation. Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death"; but in current textbooks the context of these words is omitted. Here is what he actually said: "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."These sentences have been erased from our textbooks. Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his well-worn Bible: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator." He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role. On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution wasthis: "It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil Government with the principles of Christianity."Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United Statesreaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The foundations of oursociety and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution:"The Congress of the United States recommends and approvesthe Holy Bible for use in all schools." William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools, with over 125 million copies sold, until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the "Schoolmaster of the Nation."Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: "The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our nation, on the character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free Institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. For all these extracts from the Bible, I make no apology."Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that theycould study the Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of
