Illinois Mascot Won't Be at Final Four

What many of my readers don't know is that I am over 1000% more native American than Ward Churchill. 1/16th is infinitely greater than zero, right? Anyway, as a true bona fide American Indian I demand that Chief Illiniwek show up at this weekend's game! Anything less than this would be an insult to my people. more...

The New Nazis of Higher Education

William Shirer noted that pre-war German universities were rife with Nazi supporters on the faculty. The very institution set up to be a refuge for protecting the great works of Western Civiilization were centers of activity for those that would actively destroy it. Today, I am afraid, the Academy is no better.

Charles Johnsom uncovers another anti-American professor. This one, though, makes Ward Churchill look mainstream. She actually has a whole page dedicated to linking the CIA & (*shock*) Mossad to 9-11!!

Decision '08 also uncovers some interesting things on Professor Christensen.

2 Three cheers for the Fallujah resistence! May Fallujah become the graveyard of imperialists. Quote posted by COLLIN BABER on another blog 11/05/2004. In referring to COLLIN BABER another blog addresses him as juvenile tripe. In another: as first class nut job. In another: Collin Baber has returned to give LIE to the lefts protestations. In another: Collin Baber is insane. And it goes on and on and on. This leftist liar is rapidly becoming the most hated traitor on the planet.

3 >>>"Three cheers for the Fallujah resistence! May Fallujah become the graveyard of imperialists." that's disgusting. I'm starting to understand where rooster's coming from. Collin, you aren't for "non-violence" or peace. You're just for the other side. And that does make you a traitor.

4 Just an observation...Collin's posts seem very cold, very detached, almost not human. Little emotion. Sparing use of contractions. The language sems stilted and overly formal. I think an alien life form has taken over the once-real Collin--the one his parents used to bounce on their knees when he was a little tyke--and have created...Colon Babbler, Left-Winger from a Far-Away Planet who seems to say outlandish things just to get a rise out of us earthlings. Does this seem far-fetched? 'Fess up, Collin! Take us to your leader!

17 A few more replies to Collin Baber: Fair minded readers must wonder: Is this man insane. Collin Baber has chosen to place himself squarely in the camp opposing democracy. You're so sick with hatred it's a wonder you can function. This sorry little pit-stain of a being insists on politicizing the sacrifices of his betters. Mr. Baber: What an unhappy little man you are. These comments were taken from another blog a few minutes ago. Need we say more? If so there is a lot more. I think everyone gets the picture.

18 Here's a little more. Baber numbers himself among those who will make common cause with any regime, so long as it has negative things to say about the United States. In short, Baber provides an excellent example of the west's fifth column. People who root for civilizations enemies, but lack the intestinal fortitute to actually join in. I like this one: He posts totalitarian propaganda and imagines himself courageous- a pathetic conceit. Collin Baber takes articles from the commie worker written by an Iraqi terrorist supporter and posts them as the truth. Something else I have discovered. When doing searches of Collin Baber organizations like the international commie Organization, The commie Worker and the Chinese Communist Newpapers keep coming up. Was Bourbon right? Something strange going on here. Have I discovered a commie? Told you he was a traitor.

Captured Zarqawi Aide an American

An American was captured late last year fighting for Abu Musab Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Iraq, the group responsible for dozens of beheading murders of civilians. Coalition forces are now holding him as an 'enemy combatant'.

I have a better word for him: traitor.

I can think of no better candidate for extraordinary rendition. After every last ounce of information is gently extracted for him then I say we send him to Saudi Arabia. I hear they have a most fitting form of execution.

N.Y. Post:

U.S. forces in Iraq are holding an associate of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi who holds joint American-Jordanian citizenship, defense officials said yesterday.
The man was snared in a raid by U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq late in 2004, according to a Pentagon spokesman, who said weapons and bomb-making materials were in his residence.
The man was described as a personal associate of Zarqawi and an emissary to insurgent groups in several cities in Iraq.
The officials said that the man holds joint U.S.-Jordanian citizenship, but declined to provide his hometown or otherwise identify him.
After his capture, a panel of three U.S. officers determined that he was an enemy combatant and therefore not entitled to prisoner-of-war status under the Geneva Convention, the spokesman said.
He is still being held as a security threat but has been visited by representatives of the International Committee on the Red Cross.
He is the first American known to be captured fighting for the insurgency in Iraq.

Let me note, though, that dozens of Europeans have been captured fighting for the terrorists. However, all of them have been Muslim immigrants or the children of immigrants.

Reuters:

He is being held at an internment facility in Iraq," said Lieutenant Colonel Guy Rudisill, spokesman for detainee affairs. "He's being held along with other detainees."
Rudisill said he had no details on the man's age or where he was from in the United States. He said he was born in Jordan and received U.S. citizenship later, but it was not known when. He has been interrogated by U.S. forces.
"We do know from interrogation that he has strong ties to the al-Zarqawi network," Rudisill said.
Legal action against the detainee will be taken in coordination with the Iraqi government, he added, leaving open the possibility that he could be handed over to the U.S. Justice Department.
Rudisill said the fact an American had been held in connection with the insurgency was only emerging now because no one had asked about it previously.

7 Rusty: Can you acknowledge that perhaps being an American is something in the heart as well as on paper? We have millions of so called Americans because they have a paper of conveinence that says they are. Where are their hearts? Getting a piece of paper so you can get a paycheck doesn't make a patriot. Takes a bit more.

11 No, citizenship has nothing to do with the heart; it is a legal status bestowed on individuals by a bureacracy - either in birth or immigration. Having an American passport allowed this mofo to take advantage of our extensive bilateral migration agreements - visa free access to most of Central and South America, Europe, Canada, much of Africa, Australia, Taiwan, Japan, Phillipines, and certain Middle Eastern states (including the West Bank and Gaza, normally off limits to Arabs). Only Canadian citizenship is more widely accepted visa free. As for migration in general, we need all the high-skilled migrants we can handle (I am an immigrant myself). We could easily absorb another 25 million 20somethings with university diplomas. Al Qaeda has been practically exterminated - can you even think of their last major operation outside of Iraq? On the other hand, there is still China and India to compete with and the Chinese defense budget is growing at an incredible pace.

Posted by: electronicIDF at April 01, 2005 08:21 PM (MBd2J)

12 electronicIDF: I concede on the educated part of your post. The truth is America has been getting the best of the world. Nothing new here. Good example is Cuba. The US got the best of their country. That is until the LIBERAL peanut farmer got outsmarted by Castro. Much of Europe says bring me your poor. A noble cause. America says bring me your most adventureous, your most intelligent, etc: It's obvious who is an will be better off in the future. Here's where we differ. Do we have enough? America is doing just fine. Will over population help our future? Why speed it along. Drive on a freeway in Los Angeles and tell me we need more permanent residents. I can't go along with the need for more. In particular, the failure of our liberal policies in regards to selectivity. Another difference: You refer to highly-skilled workers. I differ. The American educational system that already educates much of the world can supplied all the educated highly skilled people we need. Anyone need a lawyer? A few years ago the claim was we were turning out to many Doctors. Their are multitutes of engineers working out of their trade. The Mexican connection. We need jobs filled by them as much as by intellectual types. I don't fear someone taking my mop bucket from me because I don't use one. Who wishes to pick lettuce all day. Mexicans fill a void. Our liberal society says if you don't wish to work for a living have an illegitimate child and sit on your ass and we will pay you. Apparently, Mexican women have more pride than some Americans. I know Mexican men do. If they are truely Americans. So called Americans that refuse to stand when the National Anthem is played are not Americans. Mexicans fill a very needed void in many areas. They don't have good paying jobs in Mexico. Hell, they don't even have jobs. We do. Mutual benefit. We once had a bracero program wherein Mexican labours could come, work here, make excellent wages and return to their country with their pockets full. Liberals claimed this to be dehumanizing. Program was dropped. Liberals figured it was better for people to starve than travel back and forth a border. Now they just sneak in and stay because it's getting harder to sneak back in. Another example of liberal results that end up the opposite of what was intended. As usual, I might add. Anyway, my point being we need unskilled workers every bit as much as skilled. Even more I think. Wonder who picked the orange I just ate? Bet I know. Need manual labor? Call Manuel. A dependable resource. Have a good one. Rain stopped but now the wind started. Hard to go fishing so Manuel and I will start disking the back forty.

14 I agree. And contrary to whar that clown Clinton said, not EVERY American should go to college. I think this for two reasons: 1. If everyone has a degree or degrees, it lessons their value (if they have any left, that is). College degrees today are the high school diplomas of yesteryear.It's taken for granted that EVERYONE MUST HAVE ONE> 2. If everyone has a diploma, who will mop the floors, pump the gas, or as you say, pick the fruit? (These jobs are probably more worthwhile than a lot of white collar ones, anyway.)

A New Muse Versus the Old Feminist Mystique

by Demosophist

Wretchard claims that the intellect behind I Could Scream (a muse by the name of Dymphna) is not he. But whoever she is she helps put the "Club" in "Belmont." Describing the new blog's mission as "a different vision" he observes, with typical eloquence:

The concerns of NOW in relation to those of Muslim women occupy the same relative position as the worries of the characters in Seinfeld to those in rural Bangladesh.

A Place Called "Wind"

by Demosophist

From Todd Zywicki

As I have said before, this bill is at bottom about rewarding personal responsibility.

Spoken like someone who has always expected a steady wind at his back, and spent both stormy and windless days deeply sheltered.

Apparently the entities making the loans while practicing deceptive strategies to snare the "imprudent" deserve to have the rules waived for their imprudent extension of credit because they've achieved the special status of lovable con men. Meet the archetype of the species: Ward Churchill.

Gary Becker, on the other hand, suggests a self-referencial alternative to tweaking the bankruptcy system, answering most of my objections to Zywicki's rather aloof and one-eyed arguments: more...

9 Rod: Becker's justification for using this instrument is founded on more than the fact that it's used extensively in poor countries, but it's not irrelevant that one of the consequences of its use is the expansion, rather the contraction, of capitalism. His argument is that there's no such thing as fine-tuning the bankruptcy laws, because they're by definition a blunt instrument.

5 Yup.. it's 3;40 am and the top story is that the Pope is in a coma; he will not come out of this. It's only a matter offf a short time before His Holiness dies. I know I will surely miss him. He has suffered physically for so long that this will be a peace for him and he'll not feel any more pain nor suffering. I know I will be touched by this tremendous loss, unconsolabllle. He's already got his ticket to heaven and when the time comes, may he always be in peace. He will be surely missed and no matter what, no one can really take his place. The man was not only holy incarnate, but was always going somewhere to do something and 10's of thousands greeted him, catholic or not. He was an ambassador for all people and he affected anyone that came up to see him, sobbing before they even reached him. This will be my heartbreaker. Cindy

Posted by: Night Weasel at April 01, 2005 08:55 AM (tkj+t)

10 Night Weasel: From a current Reuters news story...

Ghaddafi Plays Peekaboo!

Sorry for the delay. Here are the winners from last weekend's blog sabbath caption contest. This one was by far the hardest to judge.

Traderrob from Exposing the Left: No no, YOUR see no evil, I'm hear no evil and Hosni is speak no evil

Eric from Vince aut Morire: Unaware the camera is still rolling, Moammar, Hosni, and the gang play "Behead the Infidel."

WeaselX: Guess whose finger is in your a**!

And special runner up status for gratuitous use of minor 70s T.V. show characters goes to Buckley F. William of The Nose on Your Face: Unable to find work after the cancellation of the hit t.v. show "Laverne & Shirley", Carmine "The Big Ragoo" Ragusa is reduced to portraying Moammar Qaddafy at Arab League events and children's parties.

Jane Fonda's Traitorous Threesome with Hookers

March 1, 2006 update: Report: Video of Jane Fonda threesome with Ted Turner click here.

----------------- Begin original post ----------------

Jane Fonda has finally admitted what we've all known--or at least, you know, had certain thoughts about. No, nothing so mundane as admitting that visiting Hanoi was a mistake, although she does do that too.

Jane Fonda now says that she participated in threesomes with then husband Roger Vadim. And not the bad kind of manage a trois like in that piece of trash Chasing Amy movie. The good kind of threesome. You know, with two chicks!

MSNBC:

Also on Â“60 Minutes,Â” Fonda acknowledged that she had participated in sexual threesomes, at the encouragement of her first husband, French film director Roger Vadim.

Hmmmm, interesting....

"One night Vadim brought another woman into my bed and I went along with it....I'm competitive...I was going to keep up with the Joneses. It was the '60s and whatever," she said.

Intersting....

She told the program she isn't sure if she enjoyed the mÃƒÂ©nage a trois, but said she consented because she worried he would leave her otherwise.

Very interesting....

Fonda told CBS she even solicited the call girls herself, using her experience from her Oscar-winning role as a prostitute in "Klute".

And then suddenly I lost interest....

"Hey, if that's what he wanted, I'd give it to him in spades," she said.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Jane Fonda is a traitor. But, come on, the chick was a swinger baby!

Not that I support this kind of thing, especially when Justice Antonin Scalia is involved, but, you know, this is Barbarella we're talking about!

Linked with James 'not gonna get my 10 minutes of fame yet' Joyner.

UPDATE: Special fatwa issued against Trey Jackson for conflating good Jane with bad Jane. How 'bout some good Jane video Trey?

UPDATE 4/06: Michelle Malkin and Jeff Goldstein late to the game. Jeff was just busy looking for three-way young Jane Fonda pics. What's Michelle's excuse?

8 Are you so sure she's sorry? I spotted this in a Reuters story, and I've got a blog entry on the story here: Addressing her notorious visit to North Vietnam in 1972 -- which earned her the epithet "Hanoi Jane" -- Fonda insisted she had no regrets, apart from one moment when she posed with an anti-aircraft battery used to shoot down US pilots. So really, she's just sorry she was caught. This is a *very* Clintonian non-apology!

I fear a Judge that would order a woman killed. Pull her feeding tube out, deny her water, yet never visit her.Can you imagine being the final judge of life and death and never get off your Judge Greer ASS and actually see the woman you orderd killed? Remember CB this is not a convicted murderer, it is a helpless woman looking to us to protect her.

Apparently, neither do YOU. No matter what side you're on, this was the murder of an innocent woman who's only crime was being unable to protect herself.

23 Jane Fonda is a traitor and should have received the same punishment that Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose received.....prison sentences at the Alderson Federal Woman's Prison, Alderson, WV (where Martha Stewart spent five months.)Hanoi Jane lives in a fantasy world (all actors do) and will do anything for publicity and to keep their name in the limelight. They can't discern right from wrong. I am glad a Vietnam Veteran spit in her face. He should have done to her what the Vietcong did to him....torture. She is a dispicable person and should not exist. How anyone can have respect for her is beyond me. I am an American and as far asw I am concerned, Jane Fonda better known as Hanoi Jane is a Vietnamese....not an American.

24 unknown names of the then held pilots,soldiers,and marines were obtained by jane and the red cross personnel that were a part of the entourage that went to hanoi. until then we had no idea exactly who they were holding.with the information obtained we then had a definite roster of the personnel being held prisoner. the north veitnamese could have killed any of them up until that time and we had no way of protecting them from that. we owe her a great debt plus a great big apology. no one could obtain the information she did, and believe me everyone tried. jane fonda got in there and got back out and she didn't hurt anyone.SHE'S A HERO YOU BUNCH OF BULLHEADED MORONS. AND SHE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH.

I am an ex-military brat, USAF, my father served IN Vietnam, my husband served in Vietnam, my Uncle did TWO tours of duty there. I have friends in the military. They all despise her. She is a phony. She is a communist at heart, and should have been exiled for what she did. I can't stand to look at her face. She makes me sick. Her apologies are useless and lame. What she did was wrong. Going to support the enemy, calling our men baby killers and supporting communism. If North Vietnam was so wonderful, she should have stayed there. No one here would miss her. Bitch.

You were just the worst American to go to Vietnam and pretend to want some kind of peace. being a movie star just doesn't do it, and you made a big fool of yourself, when the rest of us were praying that our people would get home in one piece someday soon. aren't you proud of yourself sitting on one of the things that killed so many of our innocent young men. You are a traitor, and your next trick, because you have nothing else to do, is to make a fool of yourself, and the country, that you really are not a part of. Go live in Iraq and stay there, you will find out how much you are worth there, and I think the USA should never let you back in. You are indecent!

Palestinian Bomb Maker Training Islamist Terrorists in Philippines

Why does this not surpirse me? Sun Star

Authorities have arrested a Palestinian man who allegedly trained al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf guerrillas in the past and returned to the Philippines for a possible terror mission, government officials said Thursday.
Fawas Ajjur, whom security officials suspect may be an al-Qaida operative, was arrested Saturday in Zamboanga City as he arrived after a baffling, circuitous journey that took him to Russia, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, the officials said.
Ajjur did not have a visa and was taken into custody by immigration agents at the Zamboanga airport, Immigration Commissioner Alipio Fernandez Jr. said.
He was later allegedly identified by captured Abu Sayyaf guerrillas as one of the foreign militants who trained them in bomb-making near Patikul town of Jolo island a few years ago, a security official said on condition of anonymity.

Hat tip Internet Haganah

Related: Arroyo's approval ratings in the tank. It's just hard to take a person that openly pays ransom for hostages seriously when they say they are committed to fighting the war on terrorism.

Questions Raised Over Romanian Hostage Crisis

A reader from Romania has agreed to keep The Jawa Report up to speed on reactions from the Romanian press. It seems that speculation abounds that the whole hostage crisis may have been planned in advance.

He notes, though, that such conspiritorial speculation is common in his country that has seen such hard times in recent decades.

It seems that one of the hostages, Marie-Jeanne Ion, is the daughter of an important PSD member (the former government party). Thus, releasing her may be a top priority for the government. It also may explain why she was targetted.

What really seems to be raising suspicions, though, is that the entire expedition to Iraq was arranged by and planned by Omar Hayssam, who is described as a wealthy Arab immigrant to Romania. Hayssam is also being investigated for unrelated criminal activities. Hayssam is also business partners with Ion's father.

It was Hayssam that sent American Muhammed Monaf to accompany the journalists to Iraq. Mr. Hayssam also received the only known phone call demanding ransom and is said to be going to Iraq to act as an intermediary to obtain the hostages release.

7 "State-sanctioned starvation"? Schiavo gave her husband -- not her parents -- the power, by contract, to end her life if she became brain dead, which the autopsy showed she was. Letting Schiavo die was contract enforcement, one of the pillars of a free society. Whether your standard is the U.S. Constitution, libertarian minarchism, or anarcho-capitalism, letting Schiavo die was just. By Christianity, it wasn't, but for those of us who think public policy should be guided by rational considerations, not mystical and superstitious ones, that's not a meaningful enough standard. You use libertarian rhetoric, but when the details come out, you're just another big government lover. Please stop using South Park on your site. They're atheist libertarians, but bible-thumping Republicans.

7 Nice job, actus. Once again you and your ilk can't let go of the fact that your heroes lost the election and that your liberal beliefs are in the minority. I challenge you to view the audio that is making the rounds of Terri's father asking her questions and her answering them with a 'yes' or 'no' and come back here and explain to us how that, somewhere inside her brain, that there wasn't some bit of life in there. I'm sure you liberals would have been screaming bloody murder if one of your own like Christopher Reeve had his feeding tube removed. Does it help you sleep better or accept it more easily because Reeve could carry on a more intelligent conversation than Terri? The letter of the law may have been followed, but to allow someone who stopped being her husband many years ago, even if not legally, to order her extermination is morally wrong. I hope the autopsy shows that he put her in the position she was in. How neat and tidy that the very night that she went home to ask for a divorce coincides with her being in a coma the next day.

I NO LONGER HAVE ANY FAITH IN OUR GOVERNMENT, THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, EVERYONE WHO ALLOWED THIS HORRIBLE, UNSPEAKABLE, MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE FEELS ON THIS SUBJECT, THIS HUSBAND IS A BASTARD WHO INITIALLY REFUSED TERRI COMMUNION, AND FORBADE HER OWN PARENTS FROM BEING IN THE ROOM WITH HER WHEN SHE FINALLY EXPIRED. YOU CALL THIS A LOVING HUSBAND WHO ONLY HAD TERRI'S BEST WISHES AT HEART? WOULD TERRI WANTED TO HAVE SPENT HER LAST TWO WEEKS ON THIS EARTH, STARVING AND THIRSTING TO DEATH? I THINK NOT. PEOPLE, IF SHE DID HAVE IT IN WRITING NOT TO BE SAVED, DO YOU NOT AGREE THAT TAKING TWO FULL WEEKS, STARVING TO DEATH, WAS CRUEL AND INHUMANE? PEOPLE ARE ARRESTED AND PUT IN JAIL DOWN HERE IN TEXAS FOR STARVING THEIR HORSES. JUST BECAUSE A JUDGE RULED ON THIS DOES NOT MAKE IT MORAL. GOD HELP US ALL.

20 This unfortunate case of Terri Schiavo has brought forth a great deal of compassion and caring from millions of people concerned about the well-being of one individual. Death is a natural part of life; every person and every living creature will die some day. Some die after a long, productive, and satisfying life, and others are cut short before their time. Every day on planet earth, 29,000 children die before reaching their fifth birthday. Most of these deaths are of preventable. Pneumonia kills millions every year, yet it can be cured with a dollarÂ’s worth of antibiotics. Diarrheal dehydration kills over a million children every year, and most of these lives could be saved if the parents had access to a ten-cent packet of oral rehydration salts and knew the procedure for administering oral rehydration therapy. Tuberculosis kills over two million a year, and is curable with a course of drugs costing just $10. I hope that the outpouring of compassion for Terri Schiavo will be channeled, or broadcast, to the millions of children in the world living and dying in poverty, whose lives are needlessly snuffed out for want of ten centsÂ’ worth of oral rehydration salts, a dollarÂ’s worth of antibiotics, or a two dollar mosquito net that prevents the spread of malaria during sleep.

22 In America there is a young man in a nursing home, his brain synapses fried by his 1st hit of extasy at a dance club. This young man cannot feed himself, take himself to the bathroom, wash himself.....or hold a book up to his face to read. He can however commuicate by blinking his eyes. His mind partially destroyed by the missfired synapses has crippled him but somehow he is able to communicate. Like Terri, he lives in Florida. I fear that a Judge in Florida will decide that his life is not worth living and starve him to death.

25 I agree with Laura!! This man lost the right to call himself Terri's husband years ago!! Not only that but the Bible says God breathed life into Adam and he became alive....the life of a human is in the breath and the blood. Terri's blood circulated without artificial help...she breathed without artificial help...she was alive. Who are we to know how god was ministering to her?? Are we now God?? What happened was that another human being was cruely and inhumanely starved to death! Laura is also right about our animals having more rights than this. How many of you who so ridiculously compare the importance of someones life to a baseball season would yell in outrage over "cruelty to animals" and yet can't even feel at all outraged over the death of a humanbeing?!! May God forgive us as a nation and have mercy on us. For we surely all need to repent over this horrible injustice!

31 The Catholic Church does allow for the death penalty in extreme cases. JPII has stated as much. There are no ex cathedra pronouncements on it, just opinions like those of the national Council of Bishops. So it is indeed a misconception that Catholics must be against it. Is it over-used? Ask the hundreds known guilt criminals waiting on death row for the last twenty years for their executions. I say if there's any doubt about guilt, free the person. Use it on the ones caught red-handed, in the act, and guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt doing truly horrible crimes. And we all know what they are.

32 You too pretend to be so righteous and pious with this Terri thing. George Bush passed a law in Texas giving hospitals the right to terminate the life of one in a vegatative state if the guardians can't pay, regardless of their wishes.

41 Facing reality is not betrayal of faith ''Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him'' - Job 13:15 The tears surprised me. I pulled over, blinded by them. The incident is sharp in memory because it was a turning point: the moment I finally accepted the unacceptable. My mom was going to lose her battle with breast cancer. She was going to die. My sisters and brother had already come to terms with it. I was the one still clinging, stubbornly and defiantly, to an expectation of miracles. To do otherwise felt like a betrayal of my mother. And of my faith. But that day back in 1988, acceptance finally forced itself on me. Cancer had made her a stick figure. It had clouded her mind with hallucination. And it had reduced her to a toddler, her hand feather light in mine as she tottered down the hall. I left her bedside at a trot. Got in the car and drove until I couldn't see. As you've probably guessed, I'm writing about Terri Schiavo, who died today. And I'm doing what I guess we all do when we contemplate her tragedy. I am personalizing it. How can you not? On the one side, there is Michael Schiavo, ordering removal of the feeding tube that sustained his wife for 15 years because, he said, she would not have wanted to live in a vegetative state. On the other, there are the parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, begging in tears for their daughter to simply live, in whatever state she could. It is only natural to run such a painful conundrum though the filter of experience -- or imagination -- and try to tease out truth you can live with. Here's mine. Acceptance is hard. Acceptance hurts like hell. For as much time as we've spent discussing spousal rights, political opportunism and the meaning of life, I think that's the signature lesson here: Conceding the inevitability of death is one of the hardest duties of life. And maybe the longer you put it off -- the Schindlers and Michael Schiavo have been fighting for seven years -- the more difficult it becomes. Which is why the denouement of this drama has been painful, even for those of us who were not directly involved. Watching the increasingly naked desperation of the fight to keep Terri alive came to feel intrusive and voyeuristic. You wanted to turn away, but there was no place you could go. So you watched as the Schindlers strained credulity with claims that their daughter tried to say ''I want to live'' even as her feeding tube was removed. And never mind that, five years ago, according to a report in the Miami Herald, the couple openly conceded that Terri was insensate, her brain destroyed. You watched as the Rev. Jesse Jackson, in a stunning illustration of the axiom about politics and bedfellows, spoke out on behalf of the Schindlers, a boogeyman of the liberal left making common cause with the religious right. You watched as House Majority Leader Tom DeLay denounced as ''barbarism'' the removal of Terri's feeding tube and trampled the constitutional separation of powers with extraordinary legislative maneuvers to keep her alive, yet neglected to mention that he raised no similar objection 17 years ago when his father suffered a massive head injury and the family decided it was best that the elder DeLay be allowed to die. You watched as people went just a little bit nuts. And maybe, if you were the praying type, you said, Hey, God, how about a little help here? When should we stop waiting on the miracle? When is it OK to give up hope? But God, as far as is known, kept His own counsel. Maybe He felt He'd said what He had to say 15 years ago. Terri Schiavo's death, hard as it was, feels like mercy. For her and for us. Once again, we can avoid confronting our irresolute feelings and fears. There is, however, wisdom here, for those to care to seek it. Roughly distilled, it goes like this: to face reality is not to betray faith. God answers every prayer, a preacher once said. Sometimes, the answer is no.

43 Greg: My understanding of the law Bush signed in TX was to allow 10 days for a patient-surrogate to find another institution that would accept the patient, after being informed by a hospital that the patient was going to be removed from life support, after a ruling by an ethics committee agreeing with the hospital in cases where the hospital and the patient-surrogate disagreed. The law was further amended in 2003 to include minors; the version Bush signed dealt only with adults. The effect is to provide families with a last chance to get treatment for a patient who is deemed by a hospital to be beyond hope, AFTER an ethics committee reviews the case, keeping the matter out of the courts to the greatest extent possible. That's quite a bit different from the way you characterize it, isn't it?

Posted by: Jamie at March 31, 2005 02:00 PM (Beko3)

44 Drama, That was very nice. This has been an agonizing ordeal for all of us. I have in my possession a Living Will from my mother giving me the power to decide what to do when the time comes. It states that she does not want to be kept alive by artificial means. Even with detailed instructions provided to me it will be an agonizing decision when the time comes. I think thhat people on both sides of this issue who are so cock sure of their position won't be so sure when they have to actually face this issue for real someday like Tom Delay did.

52 It wasn't state sanctioned. I can't believe how ignorant people have been on this issue. The state and federal govt only got into it because of her parents. We wouldn't have known of it if they didn't make such a fuss over something that happens every day in this country. When you can Rusty, take a peek at her cat scans done in 1996 then figure the damage from there. Her brain was mostly black. Things could have been done differently if her parents didn't get the world involved. My theses in college was on euthanasia and it was a damn good paper. Did it in law, got an A, was told by the prof who was once a hard working attorney, that it was the best paper he had ever read in his 20 years of teachings. Plus I personally had experiences with this issue and it is not an easy decision. Anyway, I hope they all rest in peace now; her body finally where it should have been 15 years ago. Cindy

63 The death of 5000 civilians in Habbala on the Iranian boorder occured in 1988. America was Saddam's ally and our position then was that the gas was from the Iranians. That Saddam ggassed his own ppeople is just a lie used to demonize him so that Ammerican mothers would let their babies march off too war and die. In 1991 there was another lie. The IIrqiiis, it was saiid, stole incubatoors from Kuwaitii hospitals dumping the babies on the cold floor to die. This was another lie. It's always like this in war. In WWII the Japnese suppposedly bayonettted Philllipino babiies and Philllipino mothers jumped off cliffs with their babies to keep them from the "NIPS".

70 I followed the Terri story for a long time now. I have never been so sickened in my entire life. How this is just in a Country that claims to be civil is completely beyond me. To hear about what has been happening to this woman for the first time one would think that such an injustice, such cruelty and such complete lack of morals and decency must surely only happen in some far away land unattached to any sense of being civil. Then to hear that this absolute mokery af all things just is happening in Florida, in the UNited States of America, that in a Country that values itself to be so much more civilized than the rest of the world is run by leaders who have no clue what the definition of civil and just really are. Or is this apparant to me only. I cannot put into words how deeply disgusted I am. God bless everyone of you who prayed for Terri, god bless Terri, and god bless her family, and may her 'husband' (which is also a mockery of the word) and all those 'civil' heads of Florida and America who could help but didn't rot in hell.

84 All of you so obsessed with one American dying in Hospice Care are of the highest order of hypocrites. Look at the immense suffering caused by our taxpayer-funded sadistic violence in foreign lands that you have so jingoistically cheered. As "Culture of Life" Bush mocked Born-Again Carla Faye Tucker as Governor, "Please..don't kill me" and then as President was seen pumping his fist into his hand at the outbreak of Shock and Awe's horrific bombing, you really have to wonder what your priorities are.

88 And for dumb bitch Colon Babler. Carla fay Tucker was a convicted killer on death row who got what she gave. Did she listen when she killed? Asshole. I salute Bush for going along with the Judge and jury in the case. They both recommended death for the bitch. Same as I recommend death for lying traitors like you.

Posted by: greyrooster at March 31, 2005 09:44 PM (CBNGy)

89 For those who wish to know more. Carla Fay Tucker was a drug addict and prostitute who pickaxed her ex boy friend and his girl friend to death in their sleep. She admitted her guilt. Said she had an orgasm each time she stuck the pick ax in their chests. And this is what the traitor Colon Babler holds against Bush. What Bush was saying was that Carla Fay Tucker didn't listen when the two people she murdered begged for their lives. Why should he listen to her. Once again here is proof that Colon Babler cannot be trusted to tell the truth about anything as the bitch continues her campaign against America. I hope Bush is present when we hang this traitor.

"We need to get right with God!", blah, blah, blah. Whatever, first of all, if there is a god, he's doing a shitty job of running this human race, and should have been out on his Almighty ass eons ago. Honestly, I think worship of the sun should be more like it. Because the sun gives us everything we need, warmth, light, helps our agriculture grow and prosper, and in some cases, gives us electricity. And best of all, the sun doesn't ask us for money, the sun doesn't judge us, it never called me a sinner. And another point, I can actually SEE the sun, which helps the credibility factor. i think the bible was written by bored midgets who were looking for a good laugh, and man did they get it. Long rant short, Terri Schiavo is dead, and the next mass media mascot is due on the stage at any moment now....so the bible-thumpers should get their sleep, because tomorrow is another day, and now that their icon is dead, they need to find a new one if they're gonna stay on tv.

104 Hey Genius - Filthy Allah Don't move to Texas. In 1999, GW Bush signed a law stating that hospitals can remove vegatative patients from life support if the patient can't pay regardless of the guardian's wishes. This means that alll Mr. Schiavo had to do was move to Texas in 1999 and drop Terri from his insurance plan and this would have been over in 1999. What a hypocrit that weasle Bush is. He's the doctor of death. There were more executions under Bush than anyone else, ever. And Collin Baber is correct when he asserts,'George W. Bush, in raw Roman arrogance had mocked his Born Again Christian victim begging for her life. Do a Google on Miss Tucker and you'll see." He said,"Save me, Save me, Please Save me" as he mocked her.

American Hostage in Iraq

U.S. news sources are finally reporting that an American was taken hostage in Iraq late Monday evening. CNN has a blurb here and AP is running a similar story. The name of the American hostage is Mohammed ( Muhammed ) Monaf, although no major U.S. media outlet is yet broadcasting that information. Mr. Monaf and the other hostages remain in our prayers.

Notice how both stories mention the State Departmen'ts silence? Something, ahem, we warned you about earlier....

Zarqawi Planning WMD Attack Europe

Forget Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is now the most dangerous man in the world.

The monthly German magazine "Cicero" claims that Zarqawi is planning a major attack in Europe. Zaman:

The magazine quotes a German intelligence official saying, "We fear that Zarqawi is planning a big explosion." Zarqawi is trying to source arms equipment from the region of Georgia and the northern Caucasus, according to Cicero. Another intelligence official says in the article that he does not know if Zarqawi has managed to procure arms. "We only know that he has been working on this," the official said. Cicero pointed out that at least 150-security guards are investigating a planned terrorist attack in Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg or Berlin.

Hat tip Reliapundit

Zarqawi has made such threats in the past. In December, German papers ran stories alleging that the terrorist leader was planning a terror strike of greater magnitude than 9/11. What is new is that intelligence has specific targets.

A chemical weapons lab was found in Fallujah shortly, but no quantities of WMD were located. Fallujah was Zarqawi's headquarters until it was liberated by U.S. troops late last year.

Further, (WND):

Zarqawi is also being tried in absentia in Jordan for "planning a major chemical weapons attack that was uncovered by the authorities."

1 Heard all this before....don't you think that with everyone looking for him (use his real picture not that 20 year old pencil sketch) and with everyone's intel on these terrorist units, that we'll - meaning everyone else in the world - stop such an attack? They have stopped many attacks all over the world that we don't even know about. Donald Rumsfeld is down in South America having talks and everyone is on guard everywhere it seems. This too shall be stopped. Maybe little attacks with many deaths (unfortunately) will occur here and there but I don't think that a major catastrophe will happen. Zarqawi has always been the most dangerous man in the world. Bin Laden does talk, sends tapes, makes threats, but his hands never get dirty. Zarqawi on the other hand, doesn't care how dirty and disgusting his hands get. Lets hope we get them before they get anyone else. Or us. We are strong; we can bounce back. There's another to worry about every day without worrying about terrorist attacks. Let the ones who are supposed to take care of those things do their jobs and as always, just keep our eyes open. I heard that in Iraq, they have a nuclear station and that all 6 guards (only 6 guards?) had been killed several weeks ago. Hopefully they have more guards and each country is doing their bit including France and Germany and the Netherlands. Cindy

Posted by: firstbrokenangel at March 31, 2005 09:06 AM (PEKrh)

2 Doesn't Zarqawi know that islam is already taking the EU over from the inside? There's no need for terrorism there when countries like France and Spain are already embracing sharia law.

3 Romanians and One American Shown on Hostage Video

Al Jazeera has aired a video showing the three Romanian journalists and their American translator taken hostage by an unknown group Monday evening.

The three Romanian hostages seen in the video are Marie Jeanne Ion, Sorin Dumitru Miscoci, and Edward Ovidiu Ohanesian. The major media still remains silent on the identity of the American hostage. Reuters, for instance, says:

a fourth unidentified person appeared on the undated tape on Wednesday sitting on the floor in front of what seemed to be blankets hung on the wall.

However, The Jawa Report has learned that the fourth victim is American Mohammed ( Muhammed ) Monaf. Mr. Monaf is reportedly a naturalized American citizen of Iraqi origin. He is said to have spent time studying in Romania and was acting as a guide and interpretor for the journalists.

Two armed men were also seen on the hostage video. Al Jazeera did not say what group, if any, had given them the tape. The pro-terrorist and anti-American television station also did not mention any demands being made for the hostages' release.

Romanian media have reported that the kidnappers have made ransom demands. It is not known whether those who abducted these hostages are insurgents looking to fund their activities or common criminals.

I would caution against jumping to any conclusions about this hostage crisis. Unlike the Giuliana Sgrena episode, these seem to be legitimate journalists.

However, I think the Italians, French, Fillippinos, and others who have paid ransom for the release of hostages never learned the lesson of my 5 year old daughter's book, If You Give a Mouse Some Cheese. Giving terrorists money is not a good idea on so many levels.......

Images Found at Arabic Website Show Promise and Peril of Middle East Reform

Winston Churchill once famously described Russia as, "a riddle wrapped up in a mystery inside an enigma." The Middle East and Arab world might well be described in the same way today.

There is both much hope and much fear coming out of the Middle East today. On the one hand democracy and freedom seems to loom imminently on the horizon. On the other hand, those same democratic forces may unleash radical Islamist elements long suppressed by totalitarian tyranny.

Recently I was skimming through files uploaded by users at an Arabic forum. The images found at the website offer insight into the promise and perils of democracy in the Middle East. These images show that major differences exist within Arab societies in attitudes towards the West and modernism.

Posted below you will find some of the most interesting images. They show the hopeful side of the Arab world and the not so good side. more...

14 On Fox, every day, they always show something good that goes on in Iraq despite reporting all the bad news and the good news really outweighs the bad news. Think of our country; we didn't start out that easy and quick and wars were waged but look how far we have come in what? 300 years? Look how backwards the middle east is and they've been around forever. It'll take time but I believe that the people really want a decent life and hopefully will step up to the plate and make it happen. Just wish they'd settle in that new voted-in group they just made.

15 Rusty: 'Traiterous?' 'Treason?' I have every sympathy for those US & UK troops who are there purely because they signed-up to the forces with high ideals in mind. Nationalism really has no place in our world today. Governing parties are selected not elected as you well know from experience in your own country. So you cannot be a traitor when you oppose the policies of a government that represents far less than half the voting nation. 'Enemies?' Since when were the Muslim/Arab world the enemy? 911? Bali? Aden? Lockerbie? Perhaps you are long overdue to examine closely how your intelligence agencies really operate abroad. It has been common practice for year to carry out 'false-flag' operations which are then blamed on some foreign party with the intent to galvanise public opinion in favour of yet another war. Also bear in mind that the US wars and dodgy allegiances (Israel) are illegal ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN CONSTITUTION. Perhaps it's time for a little self-examination.

Posted by: pogoman at March 31, 2005 09:42 AM (2FyDs)

16 Bless your heart, Cindy. I understand how you see things but i nevertheless disagree with you. Wars are generally started purely out of national self-interest. Not because of some idealistic crusade to introduce democracy or to fight tyranny. The war in Iraq will produce an indeliable racial memory in the Iraqi people of Western aggression against them. Witness the use of chemical weapons and neutron bombs in Fallujah (Iraq) to 'pacify' the area. Pacification means: destroy every living thing. One day when your troops come home they may reveal the true story of what happened in Iraq. So to expect the Iraqi's to just 'get on with life' is perhaps to expect too much darling.

24 Mark Flacy. Errm ... Fallujah is levelled. A once-thriving town of 300,000 souls has been wiped off the face of the earth. Our commanders gave the order for the resident to evacuate. Those that didn't were slaughtered wholesale, in their homes, in their beds, man, woman and child. Those who did leave were fired at as they departed even while carrying white flags. This is common knowledge here in the UK hence the continuing massive popular opposition to the occupation of Iraq. Napalm, cluster bombs and at least one neutron bomb were involved which is why the town was sealed off for a while, during which time our troops skimmed the topsoil to remove the evidence of banned weaponry. As for Muslims in the West, they are persecuted already. They are treated as 2nd class citizens even in the UK. Time will tell, but these things quickly deteriorate - witness Nazi Germany. Sorry to burst your bubble mate. CNN, FOX et al have a duty to present a much-sanitised version of events. God bless the American people. God strike down Uncle Sam.

28 Pogoman: For a minute I thought you had something to say. The Fallujah bullshit is pure bullshit. I had a personal witness there. One who has never lied to his father. That Collin Baber bullshit will merely discredit you. You were on the right path to saying something creditable. You fucking Collin Baber?

31 Greyrooster. You had a personal witness in Fallujah? And he/she is still alive? Now you're just being silly. It seems you have already made up your mind about the whole Iraq thing. I continue to read the news and I have many relatives living in Qatar, UAE and Yemen. So I have access to many sources of news. I am also fluent in written and spoken Arabic from having lived in Abu-Dhabi for 10 years. Therefore I understand their culture, speak their language, and have access to sources of information you can only dream of. Take your head out for your arse for minute and take a good long look at the world around you.

34 Pogoman: My personal witness is my son. A Capt in the United States Marine Corps. He has been in Iraq for 15 months now. He was one who led his company in Fallujuh. If you had any relatives there to bad. They were warned regardless of what the Islamofacists claim. I will believe him and his comrades in arms before I believe your muslim relatives. Just that simple. He has nothing to gain by lying. He doesn't want to be there. Doesn't like the place. Just doing his job. He has no politcal or religious beliefs. He claims the normal everyday people of Iraq are glad for the happening of the last two years. They can see they have a future. The hateful, lying terrorists and their simpleton ass kissers are losing. I suggest you loosen the rag on your head. It's restricting the flow of blood to the brain. Have a nice day. I will. Because democracy in winning.

Posted by: greyrooster at April 03, 2005 08:55 AM (CBNGy)

35 Greyrooster. Ah! ... so your son is a Captain in the Marine Corps. So your imparitality on the issue is quite compromised from the outset. He doesn't want to be there? Just doing his job? Awww ... what a good little boy he is. You should be proud of him

So you truly believe that the objective behind this middle-eastern adventure is the 'Democratisation' of the region? Well I guess there's a sucker born every minute. My relatives are not 'a bunch of rag heads'. They are earning a rather good living there and are deeply ashamed of what we are doing to the region. Ever read General Smedley Butler's 'War is a Racket'? Check it out: http://lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm The motives of warmongers has not changed since. Always remember that America was never under threat, let alone under attack. This was straightforward bullying. In fact it's not even a war because to have a war you need TWO warring armies. Here we have the biggest military on earth battering a starving nation. I guess things may calm down in the end. But, as Smedley points out, it will only happen when the US has secured it's energy interests from the region. This has nothing to do with 'Democracy'. And no ... the Iraqi people do not want Western troops there. You can fantasise all you like. Ciao

36 One more thing .... The US has a rotten government. Once they are through with their plans for global conquest as per the neo-con gameplan, you better start watching your own backs. Wars cost money. Lots of money. And who do you think they have arranged to pay the costs? YOU, the American taxpayer. Well I'm telling you now: You will NOT be able to pay the costs. You will NOT even be able to pay the interest on what you currently owe as a nation ($6-7 Trillion ). America is bankrupt. Why? because as a nation you have not been streetwise. You have swallowed everything your leaders have told you hook line and sinker. Boys I'm telling you now. Reclaim your nation!! Before it's too late. Before you end up living a life of financial servitude to service debts that can never be repaid. This is happening right now. Look at the value of the dollar on the markets. Look at how many nations are in the process of switching large portions of their foreign reserves away from the Dollar and into more stable currencies like the Euro. And whatever you do ... don't ignore the consequences. You are being duped by men who think they are so much smarter than you. well, maybe they are.

37 Pogoman Just a few comments regarding your posts. First and foremost please accept i am in no way, shape or form a Racist or bigot so please bare this in mind during my rant. I agree with you that the reasons for this war are not what we were told but, there are iraqi's that are grateful for the presence of the troops. Have you read any iraqi's Blogs for the troops? if so,do you dismiss them and why? I take exception to your comment that MUSLIMS are treated as 2nd class citizens in the UK. As a UK citizen i can assure you this is not true. People of all races and religions get treated badly not just muslims and that includes the white people of this country Discrimination is not yours to own. If you are speaking about the scum of our society, the ned running the street the trouble makers then please dont profess to be the only ones that are victims of their ignorance everyone gets it from them Black, White, muslim, anyone who they decide that night just depends on the mood. i have had personal experience of this and witnessed on numerous occasions these idiots targeting old young regardless of religion or colour and again it isnt right but not just a muslim problem. YOu also stated that Muslims around the world should take up arms and defend themselves and their families. Correct me if i am am wrong but the last time i looked this was not a war against a RELIGIOUS GROUP, but by your comments your a basically saying it is. Is that what you think? Are you Muslim and if you are why are you trying to propagate this rubbish. I dont think for a minute that this is a religious war. Do you really think that the people of Britain want to rule iraq cos thats nonsense. Where i live people of all races and religions live relatively in peace and generally get along. There is good and bad in all walks of life please keep that in mind. Also i would like to point out that it was you and not me who brought up the muslim thing. Why does Religion have to be brought into everything. In my opinion it is a personal thing and shouldnt be forced on anyone everyone has their own beliefs and thats fine just keep them to ourselves and the world would be a better place the only thing i see religion doing is breeding hatred which is the opposite of which is intended. I ask that you dont take this personally it is after all only my opinion for what its worth. Which is about a penny

i just get angry at people making sweeping statements and my 4 yr old deleting my much thought out post:0)

Posted by: sparky at April 04, 2005 12:11 PM (F1nba)

38 Sparky. Thanks for your comment. Let me say from the start that I am also a UK citizen. I am also not a Muslim, but I have many friends who are. There are several strands to this that need clarification. Throughout the world Muslims are receiving bad press. Apart from a few noble exceptions, the media spin a one-size-fits-all image of Muslims as a people who are intolerant of other cultures and who think the whole world ought to be converted to Islam. Islamic fundamentalists, like fundamentalists of any religion, say certain things and do certain things that are not representative of the whole. Now, perception is fact. While the thinking man can see that they are people just like everyone else who have their families and their jobs uppermost in their minds - not every man is a thinking man. The common denominator, in Britain as elsewhere, has a hostile view of Muslims. You can find this out, as I have, as close as your local pub. Mass opinion is the opinion of the common denominator, the majority, the vote-swayers. Of course, significant segments of the British people have not fallen for this, hence the millions on the street protesting the invasion of iraq. Religion does not 'breed' hatred my friend. A hateful person will find any way to express his anger. If he's also religious, it will find expression in that field. If he's a football fan, it will find expression there too - as you must be aware, being a fellow Briton. As for Iraqi blog sites - yes I have seen some of them. Most of them are expats who have not been to iraq since childhood. Some of them have never visited their homeland at all and are therefore not even culturally integrated with their own people and do not share or understand their pain. There numbers are small and they go along with the politics of it. fair enough i suppose. As for wanting to 'rule iraq' or any other part of the world, let me remind you that empire is alive and well. The british empire never did die, it just changed the way it operates. you do not need to physically occupy a country to govern it. all you need is to run the corporations that manage the nation's wealth. that's something that britain, holland, france and the US are very good at. please look at this, it is very important. without understanding how this system operates it will be very diffcult to appreciate why it is that the people of developing countries feel so aggrieved. Ok, now for the biggie. The war against Islam. Is there such a thing? And if so, why? to quote a politically savvy british comedian who saw through the whole charade since it's inception: "No this is absolutely not a war against Islam! It's a war against Muslims.' cracked me up lol. The middle-east is a very important region commercially. it sits between east and west. it also happens to sit on top of a large portion of the worlds proven oil reserves. Whether the 'peak oil' issue is true or not is largely immaterial. The point is that we are being steered into thinking that we are running out of oil fields that are cheap enough to extract the goodies from. Now, of all religions, Islam is the only one that has not separated 'church from state'. In islam, what is good enough for the person is good enough for the state. Islamic governments are bound by the same strict code of ethics as the population as a whole. Such a situation presents very little 'wiggle room' for corrupt wheeling and dealing. That's the beef that Western governments have with Islam. And given the way we have treated them over the last 150 years or so, an islamic arabia would not be willing to do business with the west - at least not on the current 'very favourable' terms. Corporations and intelligence agencies in the West have been very frustrated at the cultural impenetrability of the middle-east. The allure of the 'sexy' western culture has come up against the hard wall of arabian moral inflexibility. of course this is not true throughout arabia - you have very western style cultures in dubai, bahrain, syria, lebanon, parts of egypt and so on. but where it matters, where the oil is, there's a danger of a islamic state (like iran) arising, or spreading. it has been the stated goal of some very powerful politicians in the west to destroy islam by arranging a 'clash of civilisations' (Zbigniew Brzezinsky). Like most things, it's just about a struggle for survival. In this case it has taken on the dimension of a religious war. For strategic reasons.

39 Liked that comedian quote myself lol I conceed that people breed hatred but you have to admit that religion doesnt help and im not just speaking about Islam. YOu only have to look at Ireland to see the hatred that stems from religions there. Though i really dont want to get into a debate about that

We would be here forever. I also agree that Islam does get a bad rep when it comes to the media but what about when the Fundamentalists start spouting their hatred what happens is no one gets to hear any other Islamic Group denounce them therefore people are led to believe they agree with them. Is it not said that "saying nothing speaks volumes". Dont even get me started on our government

you'll wish you hadnt I read your post and i have to say you havent brought anything up that i dont agree with in part. Do you not agree though that the millions of iraqis that did vote want a better country and need help doing so. As i said maybe the way we went about it was wrong but wasnt Saddam also? Oh and i meant to say at the beginning and im sure you'll agree Ignorance breeds contempt, of this i am positive. Thanks for responding PEACE :0)

Posted by: sparky at April 06, 2005 04:48 PM (F1nba)

40 Sparky. Yes, of course I believe that the Iraqi people want a better country for themselves. Certainly few people deserve it more than them, considering what they have been through since 1980. War with Iran, war with the US, sanctions for 10 years, then another war with the US. God help them. But what is occuring in Iraq is going to fracture tha nation in the long run. Whether this is accidental or by design I cannot possibly say. The nation is being divided along ethnic lines - Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites. This is not apparent at the moment but the seeds have already been sown. Also we are even being conditioned to accept this here in this country with constant references to the ethnic origins of the various parties and emphasis being put on the resistance being a 'Sunni insurgency'. This is simply not true. The average Iraqi is not nearly as conscious of these differences as we have been lead to believe. As for Saddam - good riddance to him! What I have doubts about is the motives for starting this war. I see 'divide and rule' - I see a sectarian civil war in the making. Certainly if this does not happen, if the Iraqi people can make this work, then none will be more pleased than myself. But foreign intervention must cease, and help only provided if it is solicited in the first instance. On the issue of Islamic fundamentalists and the rubbish they spew on a regular basis I would say that this has not arisen out of a vacuum. The concerns and needs of the Arab world have been neglected for a long long time. They have been betrayed time and again - ever since the days of 'Lawrence of Arabia'. There is a deep distrust of any Western influence on Arabian issues as a result. This has happend geo-politically with the establishment of Israel despite a promise by Britain to the Arabs that they would not allow such a state to arise (on land already occupied by the Palestinians). During the time of 'Lawrence'. Britain had promised this to the Arabs in exchange for their help in defeating the Turks. It has also happened financially. Remember that the Saudi's and lots of other Arab countries are now almost broke? Inspite of their tremendous wealth vis-a-vis their natural resources? The media would have us believe that this is the result of profligate spending by the ruling families etc. Granted, the ruling families are a pretty degenerate lot and have squandered untold billions, but it would not have been possible to lose all that money in that way. What actually happened is that when Arabia first started extracting their oil, gas and so on, the countries who helped them - mainly the US - demanded that in exchange for their technical expertise these countries would have to deposit their newly-found wealth in 30-year time-deposits in US banks. This they dutifully did. Why not? The wealth that they did not immediately need for civic construction was deposited in a safe bank in a safe country and earning good interest. The only proviso being that they would not withdraw those deposits for 30 years. I reckon anybody with that much spare cash would have done the same. Guess what? Thorough a pretty devious piece of legal and political chicanery, the money that the Arabs had saved got lent to the 3rd world developing countries of Africa and so-on. Without the Arabs' permission! (they knew nothing of this). It is now lost. In fact all this recent talk of 'debt forgiveness' by Western countries and so on is an utter sham. The money that was lent was never ours in the first place. It belongs to the Arabs! How devious can anyone get? And we wonder why they hate us! If the average Arab on the street knew this, they would all hate us (not just the fundamentalists - who are aware of the issues, and the history). The reason the man on the Arab street doesn't know this is because their leaders wouldn't dare tell them. They would be lynched! What would they say? 'Sorry we have squandered our nations wealth, we gave it all to Western banks and they tricked us - so sorry, please forget all about it and go about your business as usual.' It shouldn't be so hard for us to understand their fury. If your life savings that you entrusted to a bank were just given to somebody else without your permission, you would feel the same way. Now I've got nothing against helping the developing countries through cash injections. It's just we should be using our own cash not some else's. Also bear in mind that the aid given to these nations has often come with very strict conditions of economic reform. Largely to further enrich Western corporations! The whole thing stinks. It upsets me to even think about it. And here we were all along thinking we were the 'good guys'. Nothing could possibly be further than the truth. Thanks for keeping this thread alive. Peace through understanding. Fraternally yours, Pogoman

41 hey Pogoman Again good post i agree our governments have been raping countries for years GREED is a terrible thing. Thing is ive never really heard of a democratic government anywhere who is just that, democratic, we are always being told what is best for us and the only ones gaining anything is them. We are forever reading of corruption in our gvmt all to be brushed under the carpet. I know i would be outraged at what our goverment has done to these people i have never commented that im not its just why do young children, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters all innocents have to die. If people are truely angry at governments and their policies then they should attack them not the innocent people. Yes you could say that gets them noticed more but, by who, anyone who cares? or to rephrase that By anyone who can do anything about it? The answer is no because it doesnt effect our polititions directly does it. If they were targets then maybe they would pay more attention. You only have to see proof of this when we are told of impeeding attacks who will be saved and sheltered the Government members, seriously why are these peoples lives any more important than yours or mine, there not, they just think they are. I was reading an iraqi blog a few weeks ago and the the sectarianism thing was brought up there it was a worry to the Blogger he was having concerns over the situation and was basically saying that the New Government would have to act fast to stop this from happening. As you can see its working

Not. Its concerning that people are desperate for help, love their country and have the peoples best interests at heart yet are not being heard i try to let people know and ask them to educate themselves but you know how people can be "Tunnel vision" only seeing what they want to see. I am a people person i get on with all people i would love to see a truly democratic world, Hopefully in my lifetime but i fear i am deluding myself. Oh well all i can do is pray for a better world where all men and women are treated equal. ALL LIFE IS PRECIOUS

The Fit Hitting the Shan for Syria in Lebanon

First this news that the Pro-Syrian government in Lebanon collapsing--again. And now this from DEBKA via Charles Johnson:

DEBKAfile exclusive military sources report complete collapse of pro-Syrian political and intelligence structure in Lebanon and abrupt withdrawal of all Syrian commands including key figure military intelligence chief General Ghazaleh.
Lebanese secret service chief Gen. Raymond Azar has fled to Paris. Internal Security Forces head Gen. Ali al-Hajj about to quit.

2 My question is. Are we once again going to stand by and watch islamofacists move in and subdue Lebanon? Or now that we have a President with balls does the Islamic bullies get the message? I think they get the message. Lebanon will be free to return to what they once were. The financial center of the middle east. George Bush. The savior of the middle east and perhaps a lot more. Maybe our own asses.

5 Collin, the expression "bring it on" was merely a way to show defiance. He wasn't "encouraging" people to attack our troops, and there was nothing "cowardly" about it.

6 Bush is good at showing defiance - that is for sure. He is the most protected politician in the world, sending U.S. troops into harm's way and then egging on the armed opposition to attack them. That is the most cowardly act I can imagine. "I am shaking my head in disbelief ... When I served in the Army in Europe during World War II, I never heard any military commander Â— let alone the commander in chief Â— invite enemies to attack U.S. troops." - Senator Lautenberg "And to George W. Bush, we say, You have asked us to Â‘Bring it onÂ’, and so have we. Like never expected. Have you another challenge?" - Iraqi psyop video

7 Collin, and when Bush stood in front of the sign "Mission Accomplished" that was the end of the world too. His statement didn't precipitate attacks on our troops because they were coming anyway. And a president having bodyguards doesn't make him a coward. I'm trying to treat you with respect, but so far you insist on abusing that respect by subjecting me to an endless series of bumperstickers and platitutes.

Soviets Behind Pope Assassination Attempt

Newly uncovered records indicate that the Soviet Union had indeed attempted to assassinate the Pope, as the Vatican had long contended. The documents show that the Turk Mehmet Ali Agca was recruited by the Bulgarian Secret Service, on orders from the Kremlin, to Assassinate John Paul II.

Catholic World News:

Two newspapers, Corriere della Sera and il Giornale , are reporting that files from the Stasi, the East German spy agency, confirm the suspicions long held by Vatican officials. Documents in newly opened files show that the KGB, the Soviet spy agency, ordered the assassination attempt, which was carried out by the Bulgarian secret service.
Dimitar Tzonev, a spokesman for the Bulgarian government, said that officials in Sofia are ready to hand over their secret-service archives to the Italian commission charged with investigating the assassination attempt, which was carried out by Mehmet Ali Agca. An Italian parliamentary commission is also carrying out an investigation of KGB recruitment in Italy.
Corriere della Sera reports that the Soviet service gave the order to assassinate John Paul II, and Bulgarian agents recruited Agca for the effort. That report confirms a theory that was advanced by the Pope himself, in his book, Memory and Identity; the Pope wrote that he was convinced Agca was not acting on his own initiative, "but someone else planned and commanded it." Almost immediately after the attack-- in which Pope John Paul was shot and seriously wounded after his weekly public audience in St. Peter's Square-- Vatican officials quietly advanced the theory that the Soviet Union had authorized the assassination attempt. Italian investigators soon found evidence of ties between Agca and Bulgarian spy officers. But to date there has been no conclusive proof of Soviet involvement.

Hat tip Reliapundit who also makes a good observation here.

3 Many people give Ronald Reagan all the credit for bringing down the Soviet Union. Certainly a strong US military and economy had plenty to do with it. But we must give the Eastern Europeans credit too. The selection of a pope from Poland emboldened the Polish masses to once again embrace catholicism. This provided a moral compass that unified the Poles. Born from this unity was The Solidarity Movement led by Lech Walesa and it was their strike that broke the Warsaw Pact's back. When Polish goovernment and the Soviet Union blinked in the face of the challange it was all over. The rest of Eastern Europe followed their lead. John Paul II may be the greatest pope that ever lived. Maybe Catholics should select a Chinese pope next.

8 Greg: You dumb ass. All credit goes to Reagan and our great ecomony. America wore the Ruskies out. They had too many lazy government employees to compete. That was our plan the entire time. Bankrupt the corrupt dummies. America against the entire Eastern Block and we showed them the best system. The countries you mentioned are the ones who bent over to begin with. Must have been the Jews. Grow up and get real. We need such enthusiasm on the good side. The dark side (liberalism) sucks and always loses in the end. There was a reason the Iranian assholes released the hostages the day before the sissy Carter left office. Balls. Brought to you via Ronald Reagan. Get on the band wagon turkey. Life is good and so is George Bush.

Posted by: greyrooster at March 30, 2005 09:23 PM (CBNGy)

9 "There was a reason the Iranian assholes released the hostages the day before the sissy Carter left office." The hostages were released as Reagan was being sworn in. Reagan and Ollie North had made an arms for hostages deal with the Iranians and that's why the Iranians let the hostages go as a present to Reagan instead of releasing them sooner. This action was a treasonable offense by the Reaganites in my opinion. One also has to wonder if the Iranians were tipped off for Carter's failed hostage rescue attempt given that the Reaganites already had a deal working with the Iranians and didn't want an October surprise that might queer their chances of winning the impending election. Again, I think John Paul II is the greatest pope that ever lived and he probably agrees with me when I say George Bush is a puke.

11 Rooster, Naturally an avowed Klanman such as yourself wouldn't give any credit to a Catholic pope. You probably worship some fringe religion involving snake handling invented in the late 1800's on some smokey mountain in Tennessee. Stroke that serpeant and let him flick your face with his forked tongue. Don't let him bite you on the ass though, you'd have to let one of your Klan buddies suck your ass.

12 This news was revealed years ago. Just because the Catholic press is finally "releasing" it doesn't mean anything more.

13 The person who did the assassination has been wishing the Pope good luck in getting better but it definitely was the beginning of his downfall of such a wonderful and holy man. Did this take place before the fall of the Soviet Union? I can't remember. Cindy

14 '81 I believe. The Fall was '89.

15 Greg: Shows how stupid you are. Only a dimwit like you would assume such. I can say Mass in Latin. Can you? See how little you know. Spent my childhood with the Franciscan Sisters whooping my ass. In the years I spent as an alter boy I don't remember any snakes, except a few in the pews behind me. Were you one of them?I'm not talking about Sunday Mass either. I'm talking about serving Mass every morning for 3 years. Ever heard of Bishop Sheen? You simple minded liberal twit. You assume you know something but in truth you're a dork.

17 Colon Babler: A gunnery sergeant is a Marine. Which means a low life like you should not mention the word.

Posted by: greyrooster at March 31, 2005 10:08 PM (CBNGy)

18 Were you a marine?

Posted by: Collin Baber at March 31, 2005 10:11 PM (uyhy8)

19 I know chicken little brain claims to of been a Marine back in the Vietnam era. That he really loved being asshole to bellybutton while being naked. I donÂ’t doubt that chicken little brain was in the Marine Corp, but what I want to know is did chicken little brain volunteer or was he drafted because he flunked out of college. Or was chicken little brain even able to get in to a college to flunk out? So chicken little brain, did you volunteer or did you win the draft lottery?

20 Rooster, You a Catholic - NFW! You can't even speak English properly and you expect me to believe that you know Latin. Get Real! You're a vial Klansman. Go slurp yourself or break your back trying.

21 I am no longer a Catholic. I left the church when 17 years old. I lost my faith due to the fact that if there was a God why would he allow idiots like you and Butch to exist. Also, care to put your money where your mouth is? As I said you know nothing. Just a whinny asses shit for brains liberal now teamed up with an animal named Butch the getto monkey.

Posted by: greyrooster at April 01, 2005 12:07 PM (CBNGy)

22 Rest assured Butch. If you had been in my platoon the world would not be putting up with you now. Drafted? Marines? 1962? Get a brain BOY!

Posted by: greyrooster at April 01, 2005 12:13 PM (CBNGy)

23 he just pwned u all. o man, people should kno when and when not to speak. right on! btw his spelling is in shorthand.

24 Hey grey, You sound like a pissed off old man with nothing to do. So you were a marine? Here is some news for you. Marines are the second biggest group of dipshits in the entire military, preceded by the army, of course. I guess you don't have to be that smart to kill, do you? What have you done since retirement? Or did you get a dishonerable discharge for molesting young viet-cong boys? I bet you havn't done shit since you left the military, if you actually were in the military in the first place. I bet you have been sitting on your ass for the last 20 years. No man who is useful or productive in society could be as angry and pathetic as yourself.

Posted by: Mike at April 02, 2005 11:42 PM (z1S9L)

25 Hey chicken little brain, so are you saying that if I was in your platoon, you would commit treason and try to kill my ass, or would you just drool over it. What kind of American are you who would try and kill a brother in arms. You are, as I have stated before and state again, a moron. Also, the only thing I ever saw was you claiming to enjoy yourself in boot camp being asshole to belly button. You never did say what year your gay fetish started. But you still not state if you truly volunteer or joined up to get out of your current home, a Mississippi Correctional institute. It really doesnÂ’t matter. Because like Mike said, you donÂ’t have to be smart to kill some one. One other point, I was replying to Collin Barber not Greg. I was just being nice (a concept you can not grasp), and suppling information that you gave when you snuck on to the jail's library computer.

26 The Pope's life on earth has been an encouragement to all in terms of been patient and waiting on the Lord for his answers. It took several efforts through out his life to make such an impact.

27 I wish these guys could speak some sense. before you all get really worked out, take a minute of silence...yea yea, just a minute in honour a GREAT man. He was just so great that his death has kept loafers dissing each other online. That wasn't so bad, was it?
