Ambassador criticizes U.S. action in Middle East



April 30, 2008
By Eric Messinger
A key voice in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process visited Stanford Tuesday night as part of a speaking tour of American universities.



Jeff Keacher Palestine Liberation Organization Ambassador to the U.S. Afif Safieh spoke in Kresge Auditorium last night, criticizing U.S. President George W. Bush both for his “neo-conservative ideology” and for allowing Israel “too much leeway” in the Middle East peace process.



Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Ambassador to the United States Afif Safieh spoke at Kresge Auditorium in an event presented by the Coalition for Justice in the Middle East (CJME). The event was co-sponsored by the Organization of Arab Students in Stanford and Students Confronting Apartheid by Israel.------“I believe, Mr. President, that you are badly advised and poorly surrounded, and I sincerely hope that you will unburden yourself of the shallow and belligerent neo-conservative ideology and the delirious Christian fundamentalist theology,” Barhoum read aloud in Safieh’s words. “My understanding of the Christian faith is that Christ has never left us and that there is no need to support unquestioningly Israel’s territorial appetite to accelerate His return.”

Israel dismissed as "not serious" on Friday a Hamas proposal for a six-month truce in the Gaza Strip, where United Nations agencies have suspended aid distribution due to the Israeli siege and warned that shortages hurt the peace process."Unfortunately, this appears not to be serious at all," government spokesman Mark Regev said after the Islamist movement that controls Gaza told Egypt on Thursday that it agreed to implement a cease-fire."

The Lord only gave the country to the Jews on certain conditions--you can read all about them, principally in Leviticus and Deuteronomy--and that was, if they loved Him and obeyed His prophets and His kings, etc.--which they seldom ever did--so He took it away from them a lot of times because of disobedience.
So God doesn't own the Jews Eretz Israel at all. He doesn't even owe them one square inch of it. They don't deserve it. But they've come back on the strength of all those promises--well, I shouldn't say actually the strength of them, but just as they excuses is making that therefore it's Biblical and they should have it. The Christians are backing them up. Not just the Christians of Lebanon and Israel, but the Christians of the World!--Particularly the Evangelical Fundamentalist Christians who follow the Scofield rot!

Editor - I have held my breath for Sen. Barack Obama, hoping that the bigots and racists would not come out of the woodwork. How ironic it is to think that the man who may yet bring down the Illinois senator may prove to be a black man.NICK W. OZIER

Comment:
"Well, let me try to respond in a non-bombastic way. If you heard the whole sermon, first of all, you heard that I was quoting the ambassador from Iraq. That’s number one. But number two, to quote theBible, “Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever you sow, that you also shall reap.” Jesus said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic, divisive principles."

Making noise to end the silence?



Tommy Wright
Issue date: 4/24/08 Section: News

The leader for the Rainbow Sprinkle team announced the right answer for one of the questions in Queer Jeopardy, held in the Campus Village RAC Room on Wednesday.

With a loud collaborative scream, a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender SJSU students and staff broke their silence. They had been silent all day as a part of the observed Day of Silence on Tuesday.

As part of Breaking the Silence Week at SJSU - a time to bring attention to harassment that keeps lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people quiet - a mixer was held at Campus Village Building B.

The Day of Silence was created by students at the University of Virginia in 1996, according to the Day of Silence Web site.

How much is the Lord going to stand of this filth? Of all the deceits of the Devil, to call them "gay," as if to imply they're "happy"! They've even discussed having role models in the gay community, people you should look up to & emulate. How disgusting & sickening! It's absolute demon-possession!
Sodomites even have gay churches to bless their unions & celebrate their love together, to ask God's blessing on their union! How horrible! How blasphemous!
Some of this homosexuality came in through the Pentecostals, who evidently got into demon-possession when they were seeking the gifts of the Spirit. They wanted the Holy Spirit & some of the gifts so badly that they would take any spirit, just so they could speak in tongues.
They're trying to do everything they can to legitimise it or even have non-homosexual people laud it & acclaim it, sanctified Sodomy. Legitimised Sodomy, it's blasphemy against the Bible!

Sovereignty of Syria?

http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/04/28/18495464.php


Syria
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Monday Apr 28th, 2008 11:27 AM
The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog group, Mohamed ElBaradei, has criticized the United States for withholding intelligence that it says showed the construction of a nuclear reactor in Syria that Israel bombed in September.

The United States government has not condemned this bombing. We are signatories to the Charter of the United Nations. We are a permanent member of the Security Council. And it is our responsibility to ensure that the sovereignty of member nations is protected. And what occurred in September of last year was that the sovereignty of Syria was violated by Israel in a preemptive, unprovoked attack against a site that was not in any way representative of a threat to Israel or a violation of international law.
When people fail to pay attention to the truth they are apt to become strongly deluded and believe a lie instead. This has been the favorite trick of despots and dictators throughout the ages. They get people’s minds off their problems and needs and altercations by creating a much more frightening bugaboo, such as an external war or fear of their neighbors, or causing them to focus their fears.

Russia to say that they will stand by Iran

David Ignatius: The Afghanistan surge



By David Ignatius -

Monday, April 28, 2008
For many Americans who are weary of Iraq, Afghanistan is the "good war" where the U.S. and its European allies are destroying what's left of al-Qaida and the Taliban. That view certainly holds with the Democratic presidential candidates, who talk of adding more troops in Afghanistan next year even as they pull troops out of Iraq.But "bad" Iraq has more in common with "good" Afghanistan than people sometimes realize. Both have evolved into classic counterinsurgencies with a "clear and hold" strategy for providing security; both show the benefits of a military surge; and both run the risk of failure because of weak and corrupt host governments.....

Russia to say that they will stand by Iran

Haven't Bush's threatenings caused Russia to say that they will stand by Iran if it comes under attack by the U.S.? Isn't Bush's misguided, belligerent foreign policy forcing Russia to shake off the dust of her former defeat and rise again maybe even faster than she would have otherwise?
If he pushes for war and special executive police powers before the end of his term, it'll be a very difficult time for people everywhere, but especially for the poor people in the Mideast. It's beyond words, beyond description. But it has to get worse before it can get better. The world has to fall into gross darkness before the coming of the light. It has to happen before the End comes. We know how it'll all end, of course. In the Last Days Iran will join with Russia and other nations in attacking Israel ( Ezekiel 38:5 ). They'll remain bitter enemies till the very end!

Who they conspired with them:
Do you think the world will ever find out the truth? No, they won't.


The power that be won't let them. They'll find some scapegoat to blame the whole thing on, but they'll never let the truth come to light that they were really behind it--that there are even those within the U.S. government who are aligned with the power that be who supported it, that the powers planned and executed this attack.
This whole thing is on Osama bin Laden. They'll just blame him and declare all-out war on Afghanistan, or attack some other poor Muslim or Arab nation. They need a quick and easy fix to this problem, so they'll probably just go after someone they've named already and blame the whole thing on him and try to wipe him out.
The warmongers will pay. Look to hear of those who lead the charge to war becoming terribly afflicted in one form or another. Bush will be humbled. But you must also remember that he is a man who sincerely believes that he is doing the right thing.?

The greenback pales

Even the most respected economists are viewing the future with alarm as we face the most dangerous world economic collapse in history, with the United States leading the world into total financial disaster.

Harry Brown wrote the best-seller, “You Can Profit from a Monetary Crisis” and he is storing a year’s supply of food for the crisis.

He said people will abandon their paper money for more valuable mediums of exchange. He says the big bust really began in ’73 and there will soon be a colossal deflation with the collapse of the dollar followed by a price inflation which will make today look like stability.

This “greenback,” or the American dollar, only exists if you believe it exists. For those who worship it, it not only exists but it is their god, and it rules over them and controls them and devours them and destroys them, because they worship other gods.

'Beginnings of Marathons' Obama-Clinton slugfest stretches into 13th round

David ZugnoniIssue date: 4/9/08 Section: Opinion
David Zugnoni How do you think a panhandler feels after he's spent all day asking people on the street for a cigarette, and he finally gets one; he's got it in his mouth, ready to light it up; he can taste the nicotine, and then - he accidentally drops it in a puddle? The same way many of us Democrats are going to feel if our guy (or gal) fails to win the U.S. presidency in November"....

Unfortunately, Sen. Barack Obama the use of military force should not be taken off the table when dealing with Iran, which he called "a threat to all of us." Speaking before a pro-Israel crowd at a downtown hotel, Obama also repeated his call for a phased pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq and strongly backed a strong U.S. relationship with Israel.
This is sad and I withdraw my support for him!
Ron Paul is a good and godly man, with good principles and good stands on important matters. His beliefs resonate with those who are like-minded, and they use his campaign to promote these issues. His supporters are happy that these issues can at last get more coverage and publicity, and that he unlike other politicians, is not one to compromise and tone down his beliefs. He has been solid in his commitment to them.
He will not be elected president, but be encouraged that he has brought some of the issue that many believe in back into the public eye. In publicizing and promoting his beliefs, he does so for some many. His stand and the supporters who have rallied to him also demonstrate that there remain some in the U.S. who think along the same lines you do, that there is a good and godly remnant who are not indifferent to the way things are, and who would like to return the U.S. to what it was many years ago.

Rational people?
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Wednesday Apr 16th, 2008 5:10 PM




The U.S. ran out of money a long time ago. It's already bankrupt; it just doesn't know it yet! It has more debts than it has money to pay them, and its money is worth less all the time. It's "worthless" for sure, because in the end it's just paper, and the only backing it has is the faith of the people who use it, which has gone into a steep decline.



Some politicians do get it, of course, and understand that constant excessive spending and astronomical debts aren't good, but they figure that since the U.S. has gotten away with it so far, it can just continue to do so indefinitely. Besides, they figure that when it's time to pay the piper, they won't be around anyway, so they might as well charge it now and let someone else worry about paying it!

You can just hardly believe that seemingly rational people, national leaders no less, can think there'll be no consequences for their actions, no repercussions for destroying their currency and their economy! Russia and China may have lost the Cold War, but it looks like they're winning the peace.

Immigration topic stirs conference at SJSU

Abstract:
San Jose State University hosted "From Strawberries to Software," an immigration conference, in at the Crowne Plaza Hotel downtown Thursday and Friday.



The conference began with a reception and dinner in the Barrett Ballroom, followed by introduction speeches from SJSU President Don Kassing and Tim Hegstrom, dean of the College of Social Sciences....


Post Comment
Ted Rudow III,MA 2CH.6:32-33
"Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but who comes from a far country for the sake of Your great name and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm, when they come and pray in this temple; "then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name."
This have always been open to these Greeks and other Gentiles throughout all the Old Testament Era included the Muslims. What good have you ever heard from the West about the Arabs? Honestly now, how much good have you ever heard about the Arabs, even before they became famous for their oil? These Gentile believers amongst the Jews were called "proselytes," which is proof that the Kingdom was always open to them that believed, regardless of nationality or racial background, that these things had absolutely nothing to do with their place and that there had been no change at all in God's plan to save "whosoever among you feareth God"
Nothing had changed in the eyes or the mind of God! He had only further opened the eyes of believers to the truth that "God is no respecter of persons", "and the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent."

The clash on Iraq

Thursday, April 10, 2008

Crew lied
Bush and Cheney and their crew lied day after day, week after week, month after month, and the media flooded the U.S. and the world with their lies about weapons of mass destruction which they claimed they knew the specific amounts and locations of with lies about Iraq producing atomic bombs, with lies about Iraqi drones that could carry bombs and chemicals all the way to the U.S, on and on and on!
It's disgusting that Bush could lie his way into the Iraq War, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and the death of 4,000 American soldiers, not to mention the tens of thousands wounded on both sides, and not suffer any consequences for it! Congress hasn't impeached him after all, they lie as much as he does and the American people are either ignorant, apathetic, powerless, or figure they can't do anything about the whole affair, so they don't even try.

Students follow torch in San Francisco


Olympic procession draws protesters of Beijing games

April 10, 2008
By Shelby Martin
"Busloads of Stanford students headed to San Francisco on Wednesday, but spectators and protesters alike were unable to see the Olympic torch. At the last minute, the procession’s route was cut in half as the torch was taken on an alternate route, and the waterfront closing ceremonies were canceled.----


Ted Rudow III,MA
IS the Arab Euro-dollar really a good subject for movie banter? Somehow, somebody thought so. In ''Rollover,''(1981) Kris Kristofferson and Jane Fonda play a banker and a board chairman who confer incessantly about financial matters at the multi-multi-megabuck level. A talk about Arab Euro-dollars crisis ensues as Arab's buy up US debt and then dump them in a free fall. That didn't happen in reality but China is on the brink of doing that!
Prior to 1980, the United States was a net exporter, selling more goods overseas than it imported. But over the last 25 years, the situation has reversed. The trade deficit today has grown to record levels (now almost 6% of gross domestic product), with the biggest import-export imbalances coming from China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations. But what has changed over the last 25 years is that foreign governments, rather than U.S. citizens, have been buying this U.S. debt (in the form of Treasurys). Now, approximately half of this country's debt is held outside the United States, primarily by China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations.
Like the United States now with China; claiming to be China's friend while China's civil rights activist, Hu Jia, sentenced to prison for seven months. He managed to use the Internet and telephone to chronicle the harassment of dissidents in his country before he was hauled off to jail last December. Neutrality is treachery and the neutral is a traitor! So even the US is using this as a cover to get their friendship and money, while betraying us to our enemies.

Fruits of war?

Editorial: Obama, Clinton see a way for U.S. to exit Iraq



You have to read between the lines in their Tuesday testimony at U.S. Senate hearings, but according to Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, the reality in Iraq remains grim. There have been some gains, but they are "uneven" as well as "fragile and reversible."...


Fruits of war?
Vietnam suffered so much: two decades of war with the U.S. that left two million Vietnamese dead, a million missing, the countryside littered with toxic chemicals like Agent Orange that have caused thousands of birth defects, and bombs that still blow up and kill or maim poor farmers and villagers, men and women and children. That's not to mention the state of Vietnam's infrastructure and economy when the war was over, which the U.S. promised to help reconstruct but never did. But then the U.S. always prefers to blow things up rather than reconstruct them. In Iraq, the reconstruct bidding process has been criticized for including only a handful of companies, some with substantial political clout and none of which is based outside the United States. There was so much death and destruction and carnage 58,000 Americans were killed as well, and 150,000 were wounded and all for what? To stop communism? And in Iraq, stop terrorist after we killed almost 1,000,000 in the Gulf two wars and have left millions of refugees! Vietnam today is as capitalist as it is communist, with ads for cars, cell phones and credit cards filling the streets, as well as lots of foreign businessmen eager to set up new factories and most of their exports go to the U.S.!

Trudy Rubin: Iran is crucial to any Iraq solution



By Trudy Rubin -

It's too bad Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker have to schlepp all the way from Baghdad this week to brief Congress.We all know that their testimony will add little and change little.President Bush won't shift course before his term ends. Troops will draw down some, but not below pre-surge levels, and our military will remain overextended. The possibility of shaping a different Iraq policy won't emerge until a new president is elected. ------

Bush and his so-called Christianity
Bush and his reactionary right are pushing the world to the brink of another war, potentially far bigger than the last one, and we haven't seen the last of him yet. He has only months left as in the White House, but he can do a lot of damage in those last months. Bush and his so-called Christianity is as far from Christ and real Christianity as darkness is from the light. Bush's testimony is so contrary to real Christian values that he is working against them, and by doing so is hastening the advance of an anti-Christ world and solidifying anti-Christ sentiment within the same world. By alienating the world through his violent, selfish, and careless policies, Bush is doing more to further the agenda than he is to further the cause of Christ. The depth of his delusion is beyond words; it's beyond description. God help the similarly deluded masses across the United States who are following him.

Paul Krugman: The world food crisis



By Paul Krugman -
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Story appeared in EDITORIALS section, Page B7
These days you hear a lot about the world financial crisis. But there's another world crisis under way – and it's hurting a lot more people. I'm talking about the food crisis.Over the past few years the prices of wheat, corn, rice and other basic foodstuffs have doubled or tripled, with much of the increase taking place just in the last few months. High food prices dismay even relatively well-off Americans, but they're truly devastating in poor countries, where food often accounts for more than half a family's spending....
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Hunger will stalk the world


The poor suffer most. "We're concerned that we are facing the perfect storm for the world's hungry," said Josette Sheeran, executive director of the World Food Program, in a telephone interview. "High food costs, and high gasoline costs involved in transporting it." Hunger will stalk the world and will affect rich nations and poor nations alike, for men have misplaced their priorities. They have turned from Him to worship at the altars of science, of materialism, of excess, and of selfishness. And common men have turned from the pursuit of godliness to the pursuit of money, from a worship of Him to chasing after money and all that it can do for them. Meanwhile, the cries of the poor and needy, the hungry, destitute and poverty-stricken, rise day by day.

by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Monday Apr 7th, 2008 2:00 PM
IS the Arab Euro-dollar really a good subject for movie banter? Somehow, somebody thought so. In ''Rollover,''(1981) Kris Kristofferson and Jane Fonda play a banker and a board chairman who confer incessantly about financial matters at the multi-multi-megabuck level.
A talk about Arab Euro-dollars crisis ensues as Arab's buy up US debt and then dump them in a free fall. That didn't happen in reality but China is on the brink of doing that!
Prior to 1980, the United States was a net exporter, selling more goods overseas than it imported. But over the last 25 years, the situation has reversed. The trade deficit today has grown to record levels (now almost 6% of gross domestic product), with the biggest import-export imbalances coming from China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations. But what has changed over the last 25 years is that foreign governments, rather than U.S. citizens, have been buying this U.S. debt (in the form of Treasurys). Now, approximately half of this country's debt is held outside the United States, primarily by China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations.
Like the United States now with China; claiming to be China's friend while China's civil rights activist, Hu Jia, sentenced to prison for seven months. He managed to use the Internet and telephone to chronicle the harassment of dissidents in his country before he was hauled off to jail last December. Neutrality is treachery and the neutral is a traitor! So even the US is neutral nation in the world is using this as a cover to get their friendship and money, while betraying us to our enemies.

While they reject and condemn the pure, simple, they readily accept the absolutely abnormal and perverted relationship of in the filthy habit of anal sex of the homosexuals--or as God called them, the sodomites--and which the Mosaic Law condemns with such fury.Who now today are cloaked with the modern, legitimate sexual term of "homosexuals."

Even many churches today are accepting the sodomites and legalizing the so-called "marriages" of "men with men, working that which is unseemly" ( Rom.1:27 ), which God said would result in the affliction of their own bodies, God's curses of diseases such as AIDS.And if there were ever any people who are self-righteous, it is the sodomites!--Brazenly bragging about their sodomy and demanding recognition and privileges and government benefits.

If "to the pure all things are pure" and "all things are lawful unto me," and if, under this Law of grace and Love, extramarital sex and all of these other things are lawful, then where do things like sodomy fit in? If you are truly pure and loving, you wouldn't do such things, because they're definitely not good for you physically or spiritually, and they're hurtful. Just because "all things are lawful" unto us doesn't mean that we can go around murdering or killing or torturing people! That's not love!

Sodomy is fantastic.(?)

San Francisco was born on gold and greed, during the California Gold Rush, and the old city died in the quake and the fire. Thank God it did, for it was one of the wickedest cities on Earth! San Francisco, the old city was gone, as well as much of its evil.

Later on the 1960' and 1970',San Francisco became the mecca of hippiedom, where thousands of lost and wandering young people came to "turn on, tune in, and drop out.But, as often happens, the Gospel divides the sheep from the goats, and the goats began to multiply.

San Francisco changed from the city of peace and love to the city of unclean sex and sodomy as the goats not only rejected our message but rejected the Lord and His message, and even that of love between two sexes. Now it's a city full of homosexuals and lesbians, and often very militant ones at that, who hate those who are "straight."

So San Francisco is again ripe for God's judgments, like Sodom and Gomorrah of old. Having known the light and the truth and having rejected it and despised it, their time is "always ready" for judgment (John 7:6).

Is that so? OK, I guess you're free to speak your mind.



My turn: How is this lifestyle making the world, or America, a better place? Any chance we might go distinct if we all embrace what you promote? And finally, (hint, hint) what does your mother and father have to say about all of this?

Andres Oppenheimer: Trade rhetoric



By Andres Oppenheimer -

Saturday, April 5, 2008 SANTIAGO, Chile --
Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who seem to be competing over who is the fiercest critic of the U.S. free-trade deals with Mexico and other Latin American countries, should pay a visit to this South American capital. It would only take them a few minutes to realize how wrong they are.They would only need to walk out of their hotels and look at the traffic on the streets to see the Jeep Cherokees, Ford Explorers and other U.S.-made cars that have become increasingly visible in Chile since the Jan. 1, 2004, start of the U.S.-Chile free trade agreement.....

Their wealth
The overall situation for the people in South and Central America and the Dominican Republic is characterized by high levels of poverty and a growing gap between the rich and poor a gap that is also widening in the United States. Trade is vitally important to the development of these countries. However, a recent joint statement of Central American and U.S.Catholic bishops observed that trade is about more than economics; it is about people's lives and livelihoods.
The trade rules that make up the South and Central American Free Trade Agreement severely limit the ability of these countries to use the very tools that the United States used in the past (and still uses) to built and maintain our competitive economy.She refuses to surrender her wealth to the poor of the World, refuses to give, but is selfishly luxuriating in all kinds of extravagance, opulencea and luxuries--$20,000 bathtubs, $250,000 automobiles that guzzle the gas like mechanical drunkards, gorging themselves with food and throwing half of it away, wasting over one-half of the World's priceless resources while millions are starving!

King and Kerner: Unfinished agenda



By Edward W. Brooke -

Story appeared in EDITORIALS section
"America has had much to reflect upon during the approach of the interrelated 40th anniversaries of the final report of the Kerner Commission, the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the round of riots that followed in Washington, Baltimore, Chicago and more than 100 other cities across the nation. We have heard Sen. Barack Obama's insightful speech on race and the reactions it provoked...........

Our White sample
America has had much to reflect upon during 40th anniversaries of the the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Our White sample of war, weapons, brutality, cruelty, selfishness, and the desire to dominate others were the rule. Africa-Americans, they were overdeveloped in some of the world's most beautiful and peaceful cultures -- religions, art, sciences, philosophies, and beautiful, peaceful, pastoral ways of life, which the White came to destroy, and to makes slaves of them.
The world's first great Civilization was Black--Egypt, the world's first great power--the Sons of Ham in the Land of Ham. The White powers of the Western World as the vast majority of the world's populations who are poor, starving, sick, oppressed, exploited, misused, insulted, injured, incensed, and fed up with it. The day of Black and White is about over.--The whole world is about to go colour!-- Change is a good thing!

Marie Cocco: Hillary Clinton won't quit
Wednesday April 2, 2008

Hillary' "vast right-wing conspiracy"

Hillary Clinton has stated that there is a "vast right-wing conspiracy" pursuing an agenda of Clinton bashing for personal power and profit.She is right about the conspiracy. She is right about the pursuit of power and profit. She is wrong about where it originates. Bill Clinton, a Quigley student, Rhodes Scholar, is following the Quigley blueprint. It wasn't sent to me in the vast right-wing conspiracy newsletter. It is in the book, "Tragedy and Hope". Who better to know than Bill, one of their own. There you have it in their own words. Now you have this confirmation from their own mouth, which they'll deny, of course, just like they do the Protocols. We were really going to do such a thing, they'll say,we'd certainly never publish a book on it, or allow one to published on it. Well, if you don't believe they're doing such a thing and youdon't believe the book, just look around at the evidence that surrounds you, which is getting more and more obvious every day !

Richard Holbrooke: The longest war

Kurds


Kurds live in Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria but they have no physical nation to call their own. As a result, many have become estranged from each other, integrated into the mainstream of their respective societies and some don't even speak Kurdish. All in this mountainous territory. They should have a country to themselves really. And as soon as this war began between Iraq and Iran, the Kurds went wild. So Iraq at one time was having so much trouble with the Kurds, they were really getting dangerous. I think there are about four million Kurds, something very close to a million in each of these four countries. The question of an independent Kurdish state remains open. For the most part, Kurds in Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria today are not talking about independence, but rather about equal civil rights and the need to establish federated political states.

Kurds want their rights
Editor,


Kurds live in Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria — but they have no physical nation to call their own. As a result, many have become estranged from each other, integrated into the mainstream of their respective societies — and some don’t even speak Kurdish. All in this mountainous territory. They should have a country to themselves really. And as soon as this war began between Iraq and Iran, the Kurds went wild. So Iraq at one time was having so much trouble with the Kurds, they were really getting dangerous. I think there are about four million Kurds, something very close to a million in each of these four countries. The question of an independent Kurdish state remains open. For the most part, Kurds in Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria today are not talking about independence, but rather about equal civil rights and the need to establish federated political states.
