One can call Mahmoud Ahmadinejad many things, but a dictator he is by no means. He doesn't even have the power to appoint his own cabinet ministers. It's a presidency with very limited power.
And to claim that he is in a position to threaten the United States or Israel is just bizarre, frankly.
The Israelis and the pro-Israel interests in the United States have lobbied to make sure that there is no dialogue or there's no rapprochement between the United States and Iran. And the Iranians have done similar things. They have undermined every US foreign policy initiatives in the Middle East that they feared would be beneficial to Israel.
The US isn't really against terrorists; it's just against terrorists who aren't its friends and allies. After all, if it were against terrorists, it would be against Israel, against the various Israeli governments which have thrown the Palestinians off their land and seized it.

Mehdi Mahdavi Azad: Law and order for Iranian women
September 27, 2007
Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish
"The central committee of Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish community, which has in the past expressed unease over Ahmadinejad's stance on the Holocaust, added its voice to the condemnation of his hostile reception in New York,Iranian Jews strongly condemn such impoliteness and willfulness, as such behavior has targeted Iran's president who legally represents Iranians," it said in a statement".
On the another hand, AIPAC, or the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, describes itself as the most important organization affecting the U.S. relationship with Israel. With a budget of $65 million, and membership now standing at over 100,000, it is no wonder that congressional staffers consider it one of the most powerful and effective lobbies on Capitol Hill. Including AIPAC's support for U.S. military aid to Israel, which amounts to over $3 billion per year.

Speak now or forever hold your peace
Abstract:
If Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at SJSU, would you listen?
Would you skip your class? Would you tell your friends and encourage them to go?
Would you attend the Iranian president's opportunity to stand before a microphone? Would you sit under the bright lights of the Morris Dailey Auditorium, maybe not sure of what to expect, because Ahmadinejad hasn't been afforded the same grandiose amount of media attention as he was Monday? He was given the opportunity, partially, to speak at Columbia University amid much controversy within the school and by political figureheads elsewhere....

Let the cream rise and the rest will perish
Abstract:
Surreal.
This was the scene at Columbia University in Manhattan on Monday.
As if a hologram of the man who is often said to be one of the most dangerous in the world was in the auditorium.
Only it wasn't a hologram. It really was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, unshaken, despite the scathing preamble Columbia University President Lee Bollinger spoke toward him before the Middle East leader approached the podium....

Sixteen gallons of oil. That's how much the average American soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan consumes daily -- either directly, through the use of Humvees, tanks, trucks, and helicopters, or indirectly, by calling in air strikes. Multiply this figure by 162,000 soldiers in Iraq, 24,000 in Afghanistan, and 30,000 in the surrounding region (including sailors aboard U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf) and you arrive at approximately 3.5 million gallons of oil: the daily petroleum tab for U.S. combat operations in the Middle East war zone.
So the Pentagon is being transformed from protecting America's oil supply so that the "American way of life" can be preserved, as Bush's father once said, to preserving the "Pentagon's way of life" -- war. Well, there's not much difference most of the time. The Pentagon's way of life is the American way of life. And when America's way of life starts getting more expensive because oil becomes much more expensive, America will again resort to war to keep the oil flowing -- although that won't be the excuse they use. There will doubtless be some "tyrant" to overthrow, some "evildoer" with weapons of mass destruction, some "dictatorship" that needs "democracy" -- imposed by force, of course -- en route to liberating the oil fields and wells that are the real reason for the war. The question is whether Russia and China and Europe and other nations will let America seize the oil it needs when they need it too. We shall see.

The radical left aren't killing thousands upon thousands in Iraq those nice short-haired clean-cut soldier kids, and some of them are doing it with a relish.They're the worst filth of all.They're even dirtier than the left, because they are going over there where they don't belong and self-righteously murdering the poor and destroying that nation. So the world's worst problem today, in spite of what they think, is not the radical left youth, or the so-called criminal youth, but they who are slaughtering the poor, the weak and the defenseless.The ones who look like beautiful vessels on the shelf are even worse than the useless, worthless and good for nothing:They are downright destructive and dangerous!

'White House paints dismal picture
of Iraqi leadership'
September, 15
Countries like China and Japan produce like mad and sell like mad and have huge trade balances, because they export more than they import. But the United States, they are such gluttons they guzzle down everything and consume everything, especially oil. The oil consumption in the US has not gone down the slighest bit. They're not conserving a bit, instead they're actually using more. Let the companies raise the prices, even put more tax on oil, and they still buy more. Raising prices is not going to slow those people down one iota from taking their Sunday afternoon drive or their vacation or their weekend trip, not a bit. The only thing that'll even stop them is rationing, and they're going to come to it one of these days. However, you and I know the American driver has an idea that rather than have their gasoline rationed and their vacations shortened and their big cars shortened, they would much prefer to go to war and steal it, grab off a few countries (Iraq and now Iran?) that have oil, and they can do it under the excuse of saving Israel.

Americans with less-than-stellar credit, customers were people who may have been late on credit card payments, maybe even filed bankruptcy in the previous years, but still wanted that shot at the American dream: a home of one's own. Lenders, flush with cash and eager to exploit new markets so they could, in turn, lend more money and increase their profits, were only too happy to oblige.
Four of the five metro areas expected to experience the highest foreclosure rates for subprime mortgages originated in 2006 are California cities. They can't seem to get over the "American Dream, but the Capitalistic financiers of the world, they don't want to lose their investments.
So the money "pimps" get together and agree to support her dollars when she's sick and not earning them any money.They think she's going to get well again, and they don't realize she's just going to die, and they're pouring their money down drain! They have been making money from her hire, and they've been investing in her wages, but her wages and dollars are going to turn to ashes.

Muslim holy month begins
Abstract:
Carrissa Bishop-Sage, a sophomore comparative religions major, said the first student she met at SJSU last year was a Muslim. Bishop-Sage said she asked the student about Islam and researched the religion.

The 22-country Arab League will send envoys on a historic first mission to Israel this week to discuss a sweeping Arab peace initiative and how it might prop up embattled Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli and Arab diplomats. What little we have been told is pure anti-Arab propaganda. Nothing good is ever said by the West about the Arabs; I never heard anything good in school about the Arabs. I think is it racism, but try as they will, Israel will never willingly withdraw from the Israeli-occupied Arab territories and has said flatly she will never give up Jerusalem, and because the Arabs have said they will never be satisfied with anything short of an Israeli withdrawal from Arab territories, including and particularly Jerusalem, nothing less than forced intervention by one of the superpowers can solve the situation. Because Arab patience has reached its limits with Israeli refusal to abide by the unenforced U.N. Resolution No.242 in which virtually the whole world, including America, agreed that Israel should withdraw from Arab lands. America will fight for the possession of Israel and Arab oil.

Ills of oil consumption
Countries such as China and Japan produce like mad and sell like mad and have huge trade balances, because they export more than they import. But we in the United States are such gluttons we guzzle down everything and consume everything, especially oil. Oil consumption in the U.S. has not gone down the slightest bit. We’re not conserving a bit, instead we’re actually using more. The oil companies raise prices, we even raise taxes on oil, and we still buy more.
Raising prices is not going to slow people down one iota from taking their Sunday afternoon drive or their vacation or their weekend trip, not a bit. The only thing that will even stop them is rationing, and we’re going to come to it one of these days.
However, the American driver, rather than see gasoline rationed and vacations shortened and big cars shortened, I’m sure, would much prefer to go to war and steal oil, grab off a few countries (Iraq and now Iran?) that have oil, all under the excuse of saving Israel.

Look how they've attacked each major field that proves the existence of a perfect God: The first thing they attacked was religion itself!--Various religions were just religions, probably fabrications of man, so how could you say which was right or wrong? In other words, there were no religious absolutes.
Then they had to work on philosophy too, because that contained love, so they had to debunk philosophy, to try to prove there was no perfect philosophy, no particular philosophy was either right or wrong.
History is another thing which really proves the existence of God--God's laws of retribution & fulfilled prophecy, the rise & fall of empires because of either righteousness or wickedness. So they had to debunk History: "They were all villains!--There weren't any good or heroic men!"--The diabolical subtleness of the fiendish devilish attacks on the proofs of the existence of God! It makes me furious!
They even did the same with music, to where music was no longer music, it was just noise! It didn't have to be harmony, it didn't have to be pleasant, because there were no rules! Look at art: Modernistic art is total confusion--no rules, no beauty, no nothing! It doesn't even have to mean anything. See, if you can prove to people there's no meaning to a thing, then there's no order, no purpose, no plan, & there's no Planner.
In the same way they attacked creation: They had to try to prove there was no order to things, no laws, no plan, no purpose.--Therefore, there was no Planner or Anybody that gave orders. So Creation just became a meaningless chaotic evolution: "It all just happened by accident."
Their whole theme song is: "It ain't necessarily so."--Beginning with the Bible, they've gone right on down the line through everything.--"There's nothing that's true, so there is no Truth", in other words.

It was to the point and clear.
I also agree that "under God" should not be taken out.
That is ridiculous. People can be dismised from saying it, rather than completely abolishing.
We can't just delete 53 years of repeating the same Pledge of Allegiance, and suddenly be banned from saying those words that are memorized permanently in our minds and hearts forever.

Euros
Euros
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com ) Sunday Sep 16th, 2007 9:04 PM
Number of famous economists, they are each planning to be somewhere else when the crash comes which they predict will topple the rich nations like tumbling tenpins into an economic chaos that will make the Great Depression of the Thirties look like good times.
-->
They says the big bust really began clear back in 1973 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! One economist predicts that when the people begin to wake up to what's happening to their money, they're going to start cashing in their stocks and bonds and spending their savings to try to get their money's worth, so that banks, corporations and even governments will go broke as people begin to realise their paper money is really worth nothing at all! Modern economists ignore the even more dangerous social and political signs and the most vital of all financial forecasting factors. Your money is losing its value faster than they can print it, and it soon won't be worth any more than the paper it's printed on. Already investors are fleeing from paper money into gold.The sad result is that the United States now owns far less gold than official figures pretend. The dollar marked a new record low against the euro amid growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut U.S. interest rates next week and fears that the credit crunch is threatening the health of the U.S. economy.The euro was up 0.5% against the greenback, at $1.3904, after earlier touching $1.3913 -- its highest level since the European currency was launched in January 1999.

Ted Rudow III,MA Anti-Americanism
We sympathize with those who lost their loved ones and their livelihoods, and with the poor children who lost their parents, or the people who were left injured, maimed or burned. The Lord Himself grieves for them, and His heart is greatly touched by this calamity. At the same time, there are lessons to learn from this tragedy, for both America and the world. One is that advanced technology is no guarantee of the safety and security of a nation; only the Lord is. Many nations have sympathy for America in the face of her great loss, but as Americans lash out aggressively at anyone they think is against them, anyone they perceive as being hostile, then the sympathy will fade fast. And in the end, many countries will be more anti-American than they ever were in the past. Why will there be anti-Americanism? Because of the actions and attitudes of Americans themselves, sad to say. Instead of seeing themselves as others see them, many will persist in looking at the world only through a nationalistic American lens and viewpoint, so they'll reap antagonism instead of support.

George Bush

George Bush
To move the world along toward the End quickly, that man is George Bush. That does not mean that he is the best man, but that he is best for that position for now, to turn the world against America. America will get the leader that she deserves. She has become an ungodly nation, and the majority of her people will elect an ungodly ruler to lead them”for "strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. But wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat" (Matthew 7:13,14). Judge not by the outward appearance of the candidates, but by their heart and actions. For there are those among these contenders who will draw nigh to Him with their mouth, and honor Him with their lips, but their heart is far from Him (Matthew 15:8). Many have left the idealism of their youth behind and have turned aside toward glory, power, and even covetousness.

Any parting words for Gonzales?
Editor,
The words of politicians, Orwell wrote, are "designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." In "1984" is a chilling depiction of how the power of the state could come to dominate the lives of individuals through cultural conditioning. It incessantly relays messages from the party and simultaneously allows the dreaded "thought police to tune into the activities of any individual at any given time."

America's good memory?

"It was desirable to make sure that the Japanese were the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt in anyone's mind as to who were the aggressors" Henry Stimson,Secretary of War Arthur McClenn was a officer in Naval intelligence and believed that war with Japan soon. He develop a 8 Point Plan, a pre-war plan that would allow Japanese attack on U.S. He gave it to Roosevelt in secrecy. The day after McClenn gave the plan to him, he acted it out! Thus U.S acted before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor! The only way America can have plenty is with war. American economy, Western economy, Capitalist economy can thrive only on war. God is the only One who can give them peace and plenty at the same time.--I mean all that they need. As long as a nation demands more than they need, in other words more than plenty, they demand absolute excess, extravagant luxury.--They have to rob the poor to get it, and to rob the poor to get it they have to wage war. Almost all American industries, even non-war industries, are making money at the expense of the poor of other nations of the world. So the Iraqi war is the same.The only thing that would ever stir up the Americans to really howl is if their favourite TV show got pre-empted, or if the government should clamp down on their gasoline.

Anti-Americanism
We sympathize with those who lost their loved ones and their livelihoods, and with the poor children who lost their parents, or the people who were left injured, maimed or burned. The Lord Himself grieves for them, and His heart is greatly touched by this calamity. At the same time, there are lessons to learn from this tragedy, for both America and the world. One is that advanced technology is no guarantee of the safety and security of a nation; only the Lord is. Many nations have sympathy for America in the face of her great loss, but as Americans lash out aggressively at anyone they think is against them, anyone they perceive as being hostile, then the sympathy will fade fast. And in the end, many countries will be more anti-American than they ever were in the past. Why will there be anti-Americanism? Because of the actions and attitudes of Americans themselves, sad to say. Instead of seeing themselves as others see them, many will persist in looking at the world only through a nationalistic American lens and viewpoint, so they'll reap antagonism instead of support.

The economies will fall now. They will come up for a few more gasps of air, but this has been the fatal blow that will bring them down. There's still a little time left in which the economies will float above the crisis, but not for long.

Delay
Sacbee: Opinion NewsletterBlogs Cartoons Daily Debate Editorials Forum Letters Kathryn Jean Lopez: Politics' sinful use of religionFriday, August 31, 2007 DelayFormer Rep. Tom DeLay was on the Chris Matthews' Hardball, discussed the political career of Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, as fellow Republicans called for his resignation and party leaders ousted him from his committee leadership posts amid the fallout over his arrest in a men's room and his guilty plea in the case. A growing of Republican leaders including, former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.),I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Representative Randy Cunningham, a Republican from San Diego and others yet to be name, have already been indicted. Delay is hypocrite, pretending to be everybody's friend and nobody's enemy, when in their hearts they know exactly where they stand, and which way they'll go when the showdown comes, as many Republican leaders have. May God damn it for its subtle treacherous "neutrality" with the world--pretending to be a friend of both God and the world at the same time!

The country whose warmongers daily slaughter or support the slaughter of innocents is more than deserving of such punishments and terror. These who strike fear daily into the hearts of poor, struggling third world nations, who have done nothing to ease the sufferings of the Palestinians, these deserve to have their own people, their own country, their own government, their own economy, hurt. And those who would sacrifice some of their own people to gain political or economic benefits are the most wicked of all.

This eliminated the possibility that the NSL provisions would be struck down. Today, the librarians are the only ones who can talk about life with an NSL gag, despite the likelihood that there are hundreds if not thousands of other similar stories out there. The prison term for violating the gag order was added to the reauthorized Patriot Act. The United States has reached a sorry state when librarians are considered a national security threat because they won’t turn over lists of books that people are checking out and reading.

"Evoking a worst-case scenario, Mr. Bush said that if extremists drove the United States out, “our allies in the region would be under greater siege by the enemies of freedom” and “early movements toward democracy in the region would be violently reversed.-- ”He castigated the Iranian government for supporting anti-American extremists in Iraq and elsewhere, and for pursuing a nuclear program that could lead to weaponry. “The Iranian regime must halt these actions,” he said
-->
The real reason that he is saying is the Bush administration will never allow the Iranian government to open an oil exchange (bourse) that trades petroleum in euros. If that were to happen, hundreds of billions of dollars would come flooding back to the United States crushing the greenback and destroying the economy. This is why Bush and Co. are planning to lead the nation to war against Iran. It is straightforward defense of the current global system and the continuing dominance of the reserve currency, the dollar. America monopolizes the oil trade. Oil is denominated in dollars. America's currency monopoly is the perfect pyramid-scheme. As long as nations are forced to buy oil in dollars, the United States can continue its profligate spending with impunity. (The dollar now accounts for 68% of global currency reserves, up from 51% just a decade ago). Even though the Bush administration has said that it will perpetuate the deficit-producing tax cuts. US has over-extended itself, it has lived beyond its income. It is living on borrowed money and borrowed time, and some day soon it's going to have to pay. The price of gas in the U.K is now $7.00 a gallon, but Americans love and worship their cars. The claim that Iran is developing nuclear weapons is a mere pretext for war.

Bloodbath?
The president said today that a hasty withdrawal would unleash a bloodbath in Iraq reminiscent of the Vietnam War era. Mr. Bush accused the Congress of planning to pull the rug out from under American troops. He said the American pullout from Vietnam more than 32 years ago was to blame for millions of deaths in Cambodia and Vietnam, and for putting a dent in American credibility that lasts to this day. To the horrified dismay of the apparently now small minority of truly peace-loving, fair-minded and liberal Americans, Bush was again seeking to justify his stand. But God had to expose both him and his murderous majority and so that the world would know that evidently the vast majority of Americans are for wealth, war, oppression and selfish exploitation. If the general American public now permit their dirty-dealing President to get away with his illegal, underhanded crimes and criminal obstructions of justice and suppressions of the truth, it is beyond me!Ted Rudow III,MA

And no doubt all these purposes will be served, but this technology is a two-edged sword — it cuts both ways, for good or for ill, depending on how it’s wielded.In the days to come, this same technology will also be used for evil, employed by the A.C. system in keeping an eye on anyone who might be a threat, and to monitor any religious believers who might try to “subvert the populace.” And, if you’ll notice, it’s being established in Europe, which in many ways is already becoming an anti-religious stronghold.The creeping destruction of liberty and privacy in these Last Days, and the odd thing is, most of the world doesn’t even realize it yet, since it’s proceeding so gradually in most places, like the frog in the pot of water that is slowly being brought to a boil does not know what’s happening to him.

Is Clinton the womant he prophet foretold?
Hillary Clinton's strong beliefs have been exposed in various publications. She's on the wrong side of everything. She's for abortion; she's for gay rights; she's against home schooling; she's for children's rights against their parents; and she's for children suing their parents, and on down the line. Before William Branham died, that great and humble prophet, one of the last revelations and visions he had was that the final ruler of the United States, who would bring the United States to its doom and would be the worst ruler they ever had, would be a very beautiful but very cruel woman.

Global Military
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Saturday Aug 18th, 2007
Global military spending rose 3.5 percent last year to $1.2 trillion as U.S. costs for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan mounted, a European research body said in its annual study. The United States spent $529 billion, nearly what the rest of the world combined spent, on military operations in 2006, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said in its latest yearbook.
-->
The $1.2 trillion sum is ten times the annual net development aid paid out by all rich countries. Imagine how much better off the world would be if all this money had gone to food and clean water and shelter and necessities, rather than the waste of war and its weaponry! Wars of the future may be fought just to run the machines that fight them.

Rove end
Sacbee: Opinion NewsletterGrover G. Norquist: The architect's great projectWednesday, August 15, 2007 Rove endKarl Rove, President Bush's longtime political adviser, is resigning as White House deputy chief of staff effective Aug. 31, and returning to Texas, marking a turning point for the Bush presidency.Mr. Rove's departure removes one of the White House's most polarizing figures, and perhaps signals the effective end of the lame duck administration's role in shaping major domestic policy decisions, where the former Texas political consultant was a driving force. This is also the most important psychology of the magician who specializes in tricks known as sleight-of-hand. And Rove is the expert in this! Rove first evidenced a penchant for dirty tricks during his high school years, when the "classic nerd" pulled mental fakeouts on opponents in debate tournaments. Rove cares not a whit for the trail of political bodies he's left strewn in his wake. I have the feeling that it was sort of going to his head. A leader gets a little puffed up in his head and begins to think he's really a god. Delusion may take on many forms and is commonly understood, such delusions include grandeur, importance, wealth, religious delusions are common,inappropriate moral/ethical values and extreme alienation.

Bridge crumbled like America crumbles
Editor,She is crumbling and will continue to crumble under the weight and pressure of the repercussions of this mighty blow of the decay of the cities. It’s going to be the belly button of the whirlpool that will drain America of its resources. Pain and suffering have been poured out on others for years by the Americans. America struggles to hold on to its wealth. Half a trillion dollars is wasted in Iraq and the Mideast. Instead of helping the poor, she conquers and destroys the poor. She’d been living on borrowed money all the time and wasn’t even raising enough money for her current expenses, much less to pay back her debts.

Steroids users not kids' idols
Editor,
I believe Nathan Mollat when he proclaims how parents who allow their children to idolize Barry Bonds is beyond him. ("Sports Lounge" in the July 31 edition of the Daily Journal) Clearly, many things are beyond the mental grasp of Nathan Mollat.
"Parents are nuts not to let their kids know that many professional athletes are not the people to emulate. Forget the baseball aspect, the media paints Bonds as not a nice guy. Why parents would allow their children to idolize Bonds is beyond me. When I was growing up, I never looked at professional athletes as heroes or as someone after which to pattern my life. Maybe I'm in the minority."
Here, Here for Nathan! He had the guts to say it!!!
The link toward violence and steroids is a fact! "How they manage the risks of using steroids and other physique-enhancing drugs; how they understand the alleged steroid-violence link..." ("Bodybuilding, Drug and Risk," Lee Monaghan)
It's just like the grades in school now! What was a "B" 25 years ago now is an A++! Bonds, Romanowski and many others who had been accused of taking steroids. So they take steriods and the world just loves it!
Dr. Morris Mellion of the University of Nebraska Medical Center has made a strong case that exercise addiction is every bit as real and serious as drug addiction and eating disorders and is very much like them in the way it works. He described the growing trends among young athletes engaging in more high-risk behaviors, such as drinking, taking drugs, having more sexual partners and higher rates of sexually-transmitted diseases, using steroids, violence, impaired academic work and smoking. "Without concluding that sports are necessarily bad for our kids' behavior, clearly something is going on here. Parents, school administrators and coaches need to get a grip on it."

"The Dollar, the green Dollar, the Green Pig, is literally inflating right now very rapidly-the whole world monetary system will collapse!--And the bankers and capitalists will be left sitting on their stacks of bank notes which will be worthless!--

The monetary system is about to explode and cause the capitalistic financial system to collapse! But how could that affect the Mideast? America would try to attack the Arab Countries and grab the oil ! Whatever super power possesses and controls those Arab countries would have all the oil and they would have what would be the most valuable things in the world at a time of crisis like that!" This was written in 1973-4 by David Brandt Berg and it a fulfillment of what happen today in the Mideast! There is a crash coming, no matter how often the feel-good economists predict that all things will continue as they are, just because they have been for the last several decades. The world's economy is a house built on the sand of debt, and a storm is coming, and great will be the fall of that house (Matthew 7:24-27). Ted Rudow III,MA

Editor,Hiroshima marked the 62nd anniversary of the world’s first atomic bombing with condemnation of a global trend toward nuclear proliferation. The wars and atrocities the United States has perpetrated and the weapons it has developed are simply horrendous. America has been an agent of death and destruction in many third-world nations, almost always leaving them in far worse shape than it found them.The United States is no paragon of virtue. However, the funny thing is that most Americans do not realize it, or if they do, then they do not generally care much about it. They maintain a mental image of America, the righteous, the virtuous, spreading peace and democracy everywhere it goes. Maybe it is because they have such a short attention span and memory. As one journalist commented, a short memory is a great boost to self-esteem. It helps when you can so easily forget the past and tune out of reality.Ted Rudow III,MAMenlo Park

Yet the path of nonviolence would not bring the Palestinians freedom and justice, only His return will do that. For the Palestinians are an occupied people, and unlike the British in India, those who occupy them will not withdraw. And, for the time being, there is pressure in the West that can be brought to bear on the Israelis. Those in power in the US will scarcely dare to criticize Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians, and if they do, their protest is more of a ritual than a heartfelt condemnation. And the common people of the US are either solidly pro-Israel or they do not understand the nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and think the Palestinians are the aggressors, "Muslim terrorists and fanatics," or simply do not wish to be bothered with what they consider a complex issue. So Israel will continue its oppression, whether the resistance is violent or not, for it has no reason not to. The oppression will go on in secret, out of sight of the world, invisible to the media and the rest of the world.Ted Rudow III,MACalifornia, United States

Scope?
SAN FRANCISCO
THE EXAMINER/INDEPENDENT Weekend Edition,August 5-6, 2006
FROM READERS:
'Islamo-fascists'
“President George W. Bush understands the scope of the worldwide assault on freedom posed by the Islamo-fascists,” according to Karen King, chairwoman of the San Mateo County Republican Party.
And those who call themselves Christians and loudly proclaim their love of God, but then even more loudly beat the drums of war and rain death and destruction on the innocent while at the same time filling the coffers of their masters and cronies with the profits of war, make His name and those who are called by His name to stink in the nostrils of the world.
These do abominable works in His name, and so do more to hamper His cause than those who actively fight. These shall reap the wrath of both man and God for their hypocrisy and wickedness.
That statement is why she is so ignorant about of the rest of the world! And so the U.S. has done much to destroy any peace!
