You. Punk. Ass. Pantywaisted. Bitches.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    2. You had a chance. You could have put your money where your      mouth is--could have put some ass behind all those claims of      "favoring an end to war."&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    3. And you fucking choked.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    4. Let me explain something to you. Your children; your spouses;      your lovers and friends and parents and CONSTITUENTS are      hostages to this war. They're dying for a conflict with no      concrete objective. They're losing marriages and childhood      moments to a never-ending cycle of extended tours. Their      equipment, their morale, is stretched thin. And some of      them--those of us smart enough not to buy the fucking hype--were      counting on you to find your fucking testicles and put an end to      this shit. We were counting on you to save us from ourselves; to      find a way to put us to use serving our country in ways perhaps      more effective in rebuilding our nation.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    5. And you. Fucking. Choked.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    6. I haven't gotten a current edition of the paper in months.      It's always a day behind. I don't get to check the news--I      barely have the time. So what am I to think when I read      yesterday's Stars and Stripes, and hear about this shit? Is that      supposed to tell me that my leaders, my countrymen give a flying      FUCK about what happens to me or my wife? Is that the message      I'm supposed to glean from this STUNNING lack of cojones?      Because I gotta tell you, America, I'm not seeing it.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    7. I'm so sick of hearing this wretched war talked about in      terms of Victory or Defeat. "If we leave, the terrorists will      win."&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    8. Fuck that.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    9. Today it's Terrorists. Yesterday it was      Blacks/Gays/Jews/Hippies. Before that it was Communists. Before      that, it was Uppity Colonials with Secondhand Muskets and      Pitchforks. It's always fucking something with you people, isn't      it?&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    10.You just need your little wars to feel good about yourselves,      don't you? Something to make you feel threatened; something to      make you feel heroic; ANYTHING to make you feel like your      pathetic lives are more than just you against the Big, Black,      Scary Infinite. Well, obviously, it's working.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    11. You don't magically "win" an occupation. It's an inevitable      bleed-out. We're stuck in a situation beyond our powers to fix,      in a country that WE voted to destroy, whose history and people      we neither understand nor care to try. We bought the hype,      hook-line-and-sinker.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    12. Fuck Victory. Fuck Defeat. Any way you slice it, This. War.      Is. Wrong.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    13.You don't keep trying to win the game after it turns out you      bribed the refs. You fire the coaches and/or players      responsible, and you hand over the Title. You take your lumps      like a fucking man and try to rebuild. Accept it.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    13. Hope you're happy, America. Clutch your pearls about all      those dirty liberals who voted against the proposal ("They      didn't Support The Troops!"). Whine about all the evil elderly      schoolteachers and librarians protesting the war on a Saturday      morning outside your courthouse.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    14. But when your son or daughter or spouse or first lay comes      home airfreight, mangled into a closed-casket service by a      daisy-chain of 155s buried under Route Tampa, remember this:&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    15. It won't be the dirty liberals who put them there.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    16. Hoo-ah.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    //&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    ORIGINAL SIGNED&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    Milo Freeman, SPC&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    United States Army, Iraq&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-2744520639522900385?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/2744520639522900385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=2744520639522900385' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/2744520639522900385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/2744520639522900385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2007/06/to-senate-democrats-republicans-and.html' title='TO: Senate Democrats, Republicans, and &quot;American Idol&quot; viewers across America.'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-4093206879097449261</id><published>2007-05-29T12:38:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2007-05-29T12:45:37.739+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Who are "these people".....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bushflash.com/jpg/vg2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.bushflash.com/jpg/vg2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;By Rick Perlstein &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush : "These people attacked us before we were even      in Iraq!"&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;C&lt;/b&gt;an we have a little frankness,      please?&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    The President of the United States is a racist. Or at the very      least, an anti-Muslim bigot. In Iraq, Shi'ites and Sunni are fighting each other to the      death. Under what possible logic can they be joined by a common      identity?&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    There is no "these people" except in their common Middle East-ness.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    Iran and Iraq fought a decade-long war - Shia against Sunni.      They are, to our president, "these people." "They" attacked us.      "They" continue to attack us. Iran, Iraq: all the same. The people who attacked us on September 11 were from a group      called "al Qaeda." According to U.S. intelligence, Iraq was one      of the few countries in the Middle East where Al Qaeda did not      have a beachhead.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    In the 1960s, to much of the public, China and Russia were      equally "these people." Even as those countries were on the      verge of nuclear war with one another. Bad people stoked the      equivilance of the two even after they knew better. They did it      to keep a monstrous war going, as the American people began to      know better.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    It's much worse now. Who are "these people," Mr. President?

"Thanks God Almighty, the world nations and Palestinian people have become aware," he said, adding, "Any repetition of the mistakes will make regional nations angry and result in elimination of the Zionist entity."&lt;br /&gt;Touching on the 60-year crimes of the Zionist Regime, including massacre of women and children at their houses and making the Palestinians homeless, Ahmadinejad noted that big powers do not oppose such actions and support the illegitimate regime instead. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt; Advising the Zionists to stop 60 years of massacre, assassination, crime and aggression, he said, "If you do not stop massacring, regional nations will soon come on the scene and eliminate you criminals."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;AN/1420&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-5362424038642612832?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/5362424038642612832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=5362424038642612832' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/5362424038642612832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/5362424038642612832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2007/05/ahmadinejad-israels-repeated-mistakes.html' title='Ahmadinejad: Israel&apos;s repeated mistakes to spark nations&apos;

None of his country men can change his appetite of blood sucking, not even a Democrat dominated Congress.  Some people say that impeachment is the only option to peaceful world. I say, it takes a man like Mark Chapman - which I am sure you can find plenty of them in US - to bring peace by putting Bush at rest in peace.  Now, let me release the steam by publishing an open statement by Sean Penn addressed at Bush  and his bloody bunch&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/universal_pictures/the_interpreter/sean_penn/interpreter4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/universal_pictures/the_interpreter/sean_penn/interpreter4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four and a half years ago, I addressed the issue of war in an open letter to our President. Today I would like to again speak to him and his, directly. Mr. President, Mr. Cheney, Ms. Rice et al: Indeed America has a rich history of greatness -indeed, America is still today a devastating &lt;em&gt;military superpower&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And because, in the absence of a competent or brave Congress, of a mobilized citizenry, that level of power lies in your hands, it is you who have misused it to become our country's and our constitution's most devastating enemy. You have broken our country and our hearts. The needless blood on your hands, and therefore, on our own, is drowning the freedom, the security, and the dream that America might have been, once healed of and awakened by, the tragedy of September 11, 2001. &lt;p&gt;But now, we are encouraged to self-censor any words that might be perceived as inflammatory - if our belief is that this war should stop today. We cower as you point fingers telling us to "support our troops." Well, you and the smarmy pundits in your pocket, those who bathe in the moisture of your soiled and bloodstained underwear, can take that noise and shove it. We will be &lt;em&gt;snowed &lt;/em&gt;no more. Let's make this crystal clear. &lt;u&gt;We do&lt;/u&gt; support our troops in our stand, while you exploit them and their families. The verdict is in. You lied, connived, and exploited your own countrymen and most of all, our troops. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You Misters Bush and Cheney; you Ms. Rice are villainously and criminally obscene people, obscene human beings, incompetent even to fulfill your own self-serving agenda, while tragically neglectful and destructive of ours and our country's. And I got a question for your daughters Mr. Bush. They're not children anymore. Do they support your policy in Iraq? If they do, how dare they not be in uniform, while the children of the poor; black, white, Asian, Hispanic, and all the other American working men and women are slaughtered, maimed and flown back into this country under cover of darkness.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now, because I've been on the streets of Baghdad during this occupational war, outside the Green Zone, without security, and you haven't; I've met children there. In that country of 25 million, these children have now suffered &lt;u&gt;minimally&lt;/u&gt;, a rainstorm of civilian death around and among them totaling the equivalent of two hundred September 11ths in just four years of war. Two hundred 9/11s. Two hundred 9/11s. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You want to rattle sabers toward Iran now? Let me tell you something about Iran, because I've been there and you haven't. Iran is a great country. A &lt;u&gt;great&lt;/u&gt; country. Does it have its haters? You bet. Just like the United States has its haters. Does it have a corrupt regime? You bet. Just like the United States has a corrupt regime. Does it want a nuclear weapon? Maybe. Do we have one? You bet. But the people of Iran are &lt;u&gt;great people&lt;/u&gt;. And if we give that corrupt leadership, (by attacking Iran militarily) the opportunity to unify that great country in hatred against us, we'll have been giving up one of our most promising future allies in decades. If you really know anything about Iran, you know exactly what I'm referring to. Of course your administration belittles diplomatic potential there, as those options rely on a credibility and geopolitical influence that you have aggressively squandered worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Speaking of squandering, how about the billion and a half dollars a day our Iraq-focused military is spending, where three weeks of that kind of spending, would pay the tab on a visionary levy-building project in New Orleans and relieve the entire continent of Africa from starvation and the spread of disease. Not to mention the continued &lt;u&gt;funds now necessary&lt;/u&gt;, to not only rebuild our education and healthcare systems, but also, to give care and aid to the veterans of this war, both American and our Iraqi allies and friends who have lost everything. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You say we've kept the war on terror off our shores by responding to a criminal act of terror through state sponsored unilateral aggression in a country that took no part in that initial crime. That this war would be fought in Iraq or fought here. They are not our toilet. They are a country of human beings whose lives, while once oppressed by Saddam, are now lived in Dante's inferno.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My 15-year-old daughter was working on a comparative essay this week (you can ask Condi what a comparative essay is, as academic exercises fit the limits of her political expertise.) My daughter's essay, which &lt;u&gt;understood&lt;/u&gt; substance over theory, discusses the strengths of the Nuremberg trial justice beside the alternate strategy of truth and reconciliation in South Africa, and I quote: &lt;em&gt;"When we observe distinctions between one power and another, one justice and another, we consider the divide between retribution and reconciliation, of closure and disclosure." &lt;/em&gt; I can't do her essay justice in this forum, but at its core, it asks how, when, and why we compromise toward peace, punish for war, or balance both for something more.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This may focus another soft spot in the rhetoric of both sides. We're told not to engage in the "politics of attack." To "keep away from the negative"...Well, Mr. Bush, when speaking of your administration, that would leave us silent, and impotent indeed.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, in conclusion, I address my remaining remarks to &lt;u&gt;the choir&lt;/u&gt;: We all played nice recently at the sad passing of former President Ford. Pundits and players on all sides re-visited his pardoning of Richard Nixon with praise, stating that a divided nation found unity. But what of that precedent on deterrence now? Where is justice now? Let's unite, not only in stopping this war, but holding this administration accountable as well. Without impeachment, justice cannot prevail. In our time, or our children's. And let's make it clear to democrats and republicans alike that we are not willing to wait on '08 to hear them say again: "If I'd known then, what I know now."&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Even in a so-called victory, what we saw yesterday was a House of Representatives that couldn't bring itself to represent either conscience or constituents. It's a tragedy that the Democratic Party's leadership in Congress refuses to allow the House to vote on Barbara Lee's amendment for a fully funded, orderly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of this year. Elites circled the war wagons against this proposal, and postponed the day of reckoning that must come as soon as possible - a complete pullout of U.S. military forces from Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;There are presidential candidates who understand this. We do have candidates of conscience. As things stand today, I will be voting for Dennis Kucinich, who has fought this war from the beginning. You might say Kucinich can't win. Well, we have an opportunity to re-establish the credibility of democracy as viewed by the world at large.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We can fire our current president. We can choose the next president. You and me, the farmer in Wisconsin, the boys at Google, and Bill Gates. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It's up to &lt;em&gt;us &lt;/em&gt;to choose. Why don't &lt;em&gt;we choose?!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;From remarks at Congresswoman Barbara Lee's March 24 Town Hall Meeting on the 4th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-5724918732999044867?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/5724918732999044867/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=5724918732999044867' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/5724918732999044867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/5724918732999044867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2007/03/sean-penn-to-bush.html' title='Sean Penn To Bush'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-2272952016656485525</id><published>2007-03-02T11:22:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2007-03-02T14:17:41.033+07:00</updated><title type='text'>7 Good Reasons To Nuke The USA</title><content type='html'>This article is written by Yamin Zakaria who regularly publish his writing in &lt;a href="http://www.iiop.org"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;International Institute Of Peace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; blog.

The US has a sordid      track record for using such weapons against civilians and it has      constantly maintained a large stockpile of such weapons of mass      destruction, and continuously develops them. There are      additional reasons to nuke the US, however I have decided to      highlight only seven, which I have listed below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is partly for brevity and I hope it might have some      resonance with the Zionist-Christian Fundamentalists, especially      the nutty ones, as number 7 has significance in the Bible. Also,      they are constantly yearning for the Armageddon, and nuking USA      may only speed up the process, so for a change I might have      these Christian-Zionists on my side! The Halleluiah brigade      would probably jump up, waving their arms in the air whilst      claiming to be speaking in tongues, proclaim that the good Lord      says: bring it on, nuke the US for their sins! Perhaps, I would      also have the communists and their variants to concur with me,      as nuking the leading capitalist nation by non-state actors      would seem like initiating a 21st century explosive revolution      by the powerless proletariats against the capitalist class!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before anyone screams mass murder, they ought to consider that      their judgments will rest on the identity of the victims and the      perpetrators. If it is the ‘terrorists’ (non state-actors,      freedom fighters, Iraqi resistance etc) nuking the US, it will      be depicted as terrorism and mass murder; conversely if the US      uses such weapons, it will be defensive measures in the guise of      a pre-emptive strike to eliminate potential threats incurring      lots of collateral damages. Like the collateral damages      inflicted on a massive scale when the Atom bomb was dropped on      Hiroshima and Nagasaki, neither were military targets and by      this time Japan was already on its knees with no Air Force and      its Navy almost annihilated. Perhaps one day some objective      historian might call that an act of terrorism! Let me now list      the 7 reasons to Nuke the USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The US was established on the blood of 70 million Native      Americans. Their lands were stolen. Since the US leadership      considers it right of the Jews to occupy Palestine as they lived      here over 2000 years ago, then the Native Americans can also      argue back only 500 years and have their lands returned to them.      So a valid ground to repatriate the European colonizers, if they      refuse they can be herded into camps, subjected to a trail of      tears. Alternatively they can be nuked out of existence for      resisting, as well as retribution for the brutal killing of      their ancestors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Consider the crimes against the Africans, their enslavement,      oppression and lynching for centuries, which led to millions      perishing. An irony of the declaration of independence by the      Founding Fathers of the US, who stated that all men were created      equal, whilst Afro-Americans were subjected to such brutality      which continued for many decades. They have the right seek      retribution (including nuclear strike) against the descendents      of the criminals who have not paid them any compensation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) During the Spanish-American war at the turn of century,      Philippines was colonized, and at least a 250,000 Filipinos were      killed, then the country was turned into a brothel for the US      soldiers, and it continues to be used in that manner. We don’t      find Billy Graham and his ilk lecturing about the sin here. Nor      do we find the voices for women’s rights; I suppose if they      covered up instead of spreading their legs to the US soldiers      then it would be cause for alarm! The Filipinos have the right      of retribution for the carnage and rape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) The killing of the innocent Vietnamese populations and      supporting monsters like the Pol Pot led to millions of      Cambodians being killed. They too have the right of retribution      and a nuclear strike would serve as deterrence for future      attacks by the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) The ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians through      arming the Zionists, and the genocide against the Iraqis from      1991 onwards are good reasons to nuke the US and halt the      massacre and oppression. A bully always think twice when it gets      a punched by one of its victim. The only reason why the US has      not used nukes against the Islamic world because it fears      nuclear reprisal, as Muslims do not believe in turning the other      cheek, for that matter neither do the Christians!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Using the various financial institutions, and bribing corrupt      regimes, the US has exploited the economic resources for its own      benefit, bringing misery to millions around the world. Nuking      the US would halt these forms of oppression, and a new economic      order is likely to prevail after it is crippled permanently by      nuking it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) At present everyone is speculating the use of nuclear weapons      against Iran by the US or through its proxy Israel. A      pre-emptive strike would make the US and the Zionists think      twice, as the American and Israeli masses might appreciate what      it means to use such weapons. I doubt they would have the      appetite for more. For the Iraqis and the oppressed around the      world they are already dying, their situation is unlikely to get      any worse than it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using the principles of free speech I have expressed the case      for nuking the US and I am sure others would add to the above      list. My opponents would try and gag me under the pretext of      promoting terrorism, of course that is because I am advocating      that Americans are terrorized in order to restrain the beast      amongst them. Giving them a taste of their own medicine would      make the US masses actually realize what foreign policy,      collateral damages etc really means! In contrast, the numerous      times calls have been made to nuke Iran, Mecca, North Korea etc      goes unnoticed, of course that would not be promoting terrorism      but upholding free speech. Is this not double standard? Of      course not as it depends on whose standards you are using as a      yardstick!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I have made the case for nuking the US but I would      oppose the use of such weapons, a nuclear war would lead to      everyone losing out. Mass murder on such a scale would bring      misery to all sides. Hence, I would favor a genuine nuclear-free      world and not a nuclear-free Iran only! Likewise a nuclear-free      Middle East and not a nuclear Israel with nuclear-free Arabs.      The only justification for using such weapons would be one of      last resort of self-defense, which the Iranians, Iraqis and      Palestinians and others might resort to given the constant US      and Israeli aggression against them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now consider this scenario, a Caliphate is established in the      Middle East that has unified the Islamic world, it’s armed with      nuclear weapons. No doubt it would be competing with the US in      the international arena. Who is more like to use such weapons?      Foreign policy of the Caliphate is Jihad, which is the spread of      Islam, using nukes to annihilate entire section of population,      would defeat that central objective of spreading the message of      Islam. Nukes and Jihad does not go hand in hand unless it is      entirely for defensive purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where as the US as a Capitalist nation is a far better candidate      as it: has a track record for using such weapons; it seeks to      maximize its interests at any cost, so annihilating other races      fits with its philosophy and morals, and it has a strong record      for committing genocide on a massive scale in order to exploit      natural resources and enforce hegemony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They scream peace, but what they mean is war; they shout freedom      but what they mean is enslavement; they shout democracy but what      they mean is democracy for its multinationals. The Holy Quran      describes such people whose words contradict their deeds: “&lt;i&gt;And      when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they      say: We are peacemakers only.

The Bushit term is a hard lesson that American must learn. Like an Arab saying, only donkeys stumbled twice. Keeping AIPAC whores in charge of White House, make America ’s life miserable. To date, America salughtered 655,000 Iraqis, lost it’s 3,059 soldiers ,and spent $360,583,127,860 and what do you get in return is civil war in Iraq&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that Hillary Clinton decided to run for presidency, you’d better take your time to know who this bitch is. Haaretz newspapers has recently conducted a poll asking Israelis - between Hillary and McCain - whom they prefer to be the next president of USA . Result : 65% choses Hillary .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Hanukkah dinner in Yeshiva University, Israel on December 2005 Hillary said: &lt;em&gt;“During my meeting with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, I was reminded vividly of the threats that Israel faces every hour of every day. It became even more clear how important it is for the United States to stand with Israel ." She even further said: “Our future in America is intertwined with the future of Israel and the Middle East . But in the short period that I have been given the honor of addressing you, I want to start by focusing on our deep and lasting bonds between the United States and Israel ."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hillary was among Democrats supporting Bush’s invasion of Iraq . During her visit with her husband in fall 2005, she inspect the apartheid wall streched over 400 miles stating support to Israel to defend itself , and condemning Palestinian radicals. For $83,000 campaign donation she received from AIPAC, this whore is selling America to Israel's interest cheap.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She kept silent on Israel ’s brutal killing against Palestinian innocent women and children. She is the strong advocates of UN resolution against Iran nuclear program, and she join the hardliners in suggesting military action to Iran. All having said, she will have her nose up to Israel’s ass and so will make Bush looks like Gandhi should she elected as president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So American, it would be an unbearable disaster for you to have this creature President of USA. Your life will be dragged to the lowest point worse than the Bushit administration&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-5350830486450831580?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/5350830486450831580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=5350830486450831580' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/5350830486450831580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/5350830486450831580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2007/02/hillary-clinton-warmonger-bitch.html' title='Hillary Clinton: The Warmonger Bitch'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fjJ78Wz531w/RcbN19esrxI/AAAAAAAAAA8/PvAIOcqWucw/s72-c/untitled.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-3420998249112216037</id><published>2007-01-04T16:49:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2007-01-04T17:09:48.989+07:00</updated><title type='text'>The War Prayer</title><content type='html'>Ever since Iraq began spiraling toward chaos, the war's intellectual architects — the so-called neoconservatives — have found themselves under attack in Washington policy salons and, more important, within the Bush administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, Paul D. Wolfowitz, the zionist Defense department's most senior neocon, went to the World Bank. His Pentagon colleague Douglas J. Feith departed for academia. John R. Bolton left United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now, a small but increasingly influential group of neocons are again helping steer Iraq policy. A key part of the new Iraq plan that President Bush is expected to announce next week — a surge in U.S. troops coupled with a more focused counterinsurgency effort — has been one of the chief recommendations of these neocons since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the brave Iraqi freedom fighters who defend their homeland against zionist and filthy crusaders , I would like to say my prayer :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iraqsnuclearmirage.com/images/Dead_US_soldier.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block;

Other photos picture Bush winking at and actually kissing Gannon. (For more info, go on the internet to google.com and search for Jeff Gannon, Talon.com.) Gannon quickly disappeared after these photos came out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush and Clinton are alike in one other aspect as well. Both used the White House as a Whore House. Bill did sexual things with a young intern, while George had his muscular, boy-man homosexual lover, Jeff Gannon, stay over many a night in the White House. He and young Jeff Gannon weren't discussing foreign policy and affairs of state all those times in the wee hours of the morning in the presidential bedrooms.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009143737202058162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fjJ78Wz531w/RYQNsHzNI7I/AAAAAAAAAAM/wlaaH63PFgM/s320/bush_kisses_gannon.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;President Bush raised eyebrows at a White House press conference by kissing homosexual prostitute Jeff Gannon on top of his head. Gannon was issued press credentials by Karl Rove at Bush’s request and attended the sessions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since assuming the presidency, George W. has surrounded himself with gay men. The White House is jokingly referred to as the "Pink House" by the Gay Community. First, there's Karl Rove, Bush's campaign chief. Rove's father was gay, and Rove himself is a queer. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;George W. Bush often commends male visitors to the White House for their "fabulous" clothing. He told the Canadian Prime Minister that his young, male press advisor was "gorgeous." Bush appointed Ken Mehlman, a Jewish homosexual, as the Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Imagine —a homo as titular head of the entire Republican Party!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bush also named his gay roommate at Yale University, Tennessee's Victor Ashe, Ambassador to Poland. As Global AIDS Coordinator, another Ambassador-rank position, Bush chose homosexual activist Mark R. Dybul. Secretary of State Condi Rice administered the oath of office to the new appointee, recognizing Dybul's gay lover and live-in partner, Jason. Condi, a reputed lesbian dominatrix, even permitted the Ambassador's homo partner, Jason, to hold the Bible upon which Dybul laid his hand while taking the oath of office. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009144518886106066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fjJ78Wz531w/RYQOZnzNI9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/_jf3U2rj43s/s320/Bush+condi_swears_in_dybul.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Secretary of State Condi Rice swears in sodomite Mark R. Dybul as Bush’s Global AIDS Coordinator. First Lady Laura Bush looks on and Dybul’s gay partner, Jason, holds the Bible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush has more homosexuals in his Administration than Bill Clinton, and he's more than accommodated their "special needs." For example, Bush appointed a queer to be the new Ambassador to Romania, then approved the man's sodomite lover to fly off with him in a U.S. aircraft to Bucharest, the capital of that nation, where the gay Ambassador and his lover now contently shack-up together in an embassy-leased mansion, at U.S. taxpayers' expense. The two sodomites even attend official functions together. I wonder what the leaders and citizens of Romania think about that?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush's biggest coup was his choice to be the new Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. John Roberts. The depraved Judge Roberts is so fanatical in his support of sodomy and gay rights he even fought the case for his limp-wristed buddies on a pro bono basis—he didn't even charge the queer groups a dime for his services. Now that's real devotion to a cause, however corrupt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks God that Bush's term doesn't coincide with Yoop Ave - the former Soeharto's Minister Of Tourism- term.

Rumsfeld's exit could mean a new era of real problem solving not based on biblical racist Armageddon thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazingly enough, Donald Rumsfeld was again able to make these brave statements while his head was firmly inserted into his own anal cavity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Too bad this piece of human slime didn't know his job! Now, Rummy off to Germany and The Hague to stand trial for Crimes Against Humanity! Farewell, and don't let the door hit you in the ass. History will prove that the whole Bush Crime Family was an arrogant, self-serving bunch of greedy immoral creeps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Gosh Rummy...remember the good ole days when you did your little comedic show &amp; tell routines with the press? You had them wrapped around your little finger and you played them like a puppet-master! And now you're sad, cause the old routines are stale and not working anymore. Your base of power has been destroyed as this whole rotten administration desintegrates in front of our very eyes!4. Go to Hell Rummy--the damage, pain, horror, death, mutilations and general mayhem you and your buds in the White House have foisted on Iraq and the rest of the world will live on long after you are dust in the ground!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Not an ounce of remorse nor an iota of contrition. This man is Dog shit on the sole of history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Go to Hell Rummy--the damage, pain, horror, death, mutilations and general mayhem you and your buds in the White House have foisted on Iraq and the rest of the world will live on long after you are dust in the ground&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. As a combat infantryman from Vietnam, 70% disabled, I have no amount of words to share for this swine of a man. His soul should absolutely burn in Hell forever. He made a slight hesitation when it came to describing his reaction to Abu Ghraib. That was the mark of a man who KNOWS he ordered done whatever needed done to get "actionable intelligence." Rumsfeld has the lives of the people of Kurdistan Iraq who were gassed to death on his handsl the lives of captured Iraqis and Afghans who may or may not have been Taliban and al-Qaeda, on his hands.He has the blood of others, tortured, elsewhere, on his hands. He has the blood of thousands of Iraqis on his hands who have been killed in sectarian violence in Iraq, on his hands. And, I hope he understands that he has the lives of hundreds of Americans on his hands ... killed, maimed, driven mad, permanently ill ... from incompetence.Get it right! That's a joke. Read "Fiasco" and "State of Denial" and you'll see just how much a mockery that statement amounts to.Rumsfeld's soul should burn in Hell forever.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 414px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 137px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="109" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/3125/2690/1600/Sticker%20Bush%20war-criminals.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-1665846443576802459?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/1665846443576802459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=1665846443576802459' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/1665846443576802459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/1665846443576802459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/12/on-rummys-departure-speech.html' title='On Rummy&apos;s Departure Speech'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-8235625397995810310</id><published>2006-11-26T15:45:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-11-26T15:57:51.384+07:00</updated><title type='text'>What American Should Do NOW.</title><content type='html'>Bush has been humiliated by the recent defeat in Congress, but that doesn't mean that American people has done enough for this guy.

Freedom means Abu Ghraib torture chambers, decapitated bodies, 14 years old girls raped by US Army beast and shot dead, family members shot in front of their wives. Freedom is engineered civil war and division of a nation into smaller weak states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq death toll reached 655.000, at the cost of 2,800 lives of lynch mobs called US occupation army. “Our strategy doesn’t work” said US General while the head of the neo-fascist George W. Bush recently admitted “ Iraq is becoming 2nd Vietnam”. Now this seems to be how America is ending up in Iraq, thanks to a pre emptive policy based on lies supported by the whole “patriotic” nation, both Republican and Democrats. America sucks, cause it sick. The neocon is a cancer in the American body. It has to be removed and undergo some sort of chemotherapy that is by dragging those bastards to war crime tribunal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes a C class alcoholic oil trader turn President and a fooled nation to do this shameful blunder. All American share the guilt, cause you choose this guy to be president and – may God damn you- you reelect them again. You are too selfish and fool to buy the paranoia that Iraq has WMD and linked to Alqaeda and so must perish or else “we will fight them in our streets”. Your zionist inflicted congressmen approved the new law condoning tortures and does away with the right of Habeas Corpus. Your beloved leader Bush is not only the meanest leader in US history but worse, the meanest leader in world history. No future leaders in the world can go any lower.

This is not a scientific game, but at least it does give a logical relationship between the two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On April 20th, 1999 a school student carrying machine gun made their way into a class room in Columbine High School in Jefferson County, Colorado, randomly shoot and killed 12 fellow students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early Monday October 6th, 2006 last week Charles Roberts a truck driver living in Pennsylvania shoot Amish School students and killed 9 people., among them are 14 years old girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;October 11th ,2006 a 13-year-old boy in Joplin Missouri, fascinated by the Columbine bloodbath and wearing a black trenchcoat and mask carried an AK-47 machine gun into his school , pointed it at students and fired a shot into a ceiling before the weapon jammed. Luckily no one was hurt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/Bush%20Blood.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="247" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/Bush%20Blood.1.jpg" width="209" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not too sure if these are isolated events especially if it happen in a country that bombed Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and dropped nuclear bombs in Hiroshima. There might be a relationship between American "freedom" and an appetite to kill.&lt;br /&gt;If you happen to be a common American, chances are you will buy an assault rifle. And if you are sexually hang up, there is a likelihood that you will find a school nearby and start the rampage. ( But if you are an American bishop with sexual hang up, you might use your “rifle” for more pleasurable purpose with one of the altar boys.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But things might get worse if you happened to be the President Of the United States. Your close advisor Mr. Mordechai Bookbinder would whisper something exciting in your ears that drive you to drop cluster bombs in Middle East so that thousands of women and children are murdered to your psychopathic satisfaction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hold a moment….., what if the target country has a nuclear capability, say North Korea for example. You will turn chicken shit and the boldest thing you can do is to impose economic sanction. You will not start World War III, will you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if I were Ahmadinejad, I would go as far as possible in enrichment process to produce nuclear war head, because that is the only way to make the Mad Cow-boy behave.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-116083272531028512?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/116083272531028512/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=116083272531028512' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/116083272531028512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/116083272531028512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/10/blood-spiller-nation.html' title='Blood Spiller Nation'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115994744344636159</id><published>2006-10-04T14:19:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:37.419+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Amish Shooting</title><content type='html'>The shooting in Amish school in Pensylvania lead me to write this note. There are three notes in fact. First, my heart goes to the parents of the slain your girls. The second , I notice the tragedy that claims 8 lives grabbed the attention of America and the world , thanks to the continuos media coverage. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/Bush%20Blood.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It is about 8 innocent American girls somewhere in the Pennsylvania bush, not in Baghdad where 52 lives where sent to heaven in the same day when Amish shooting happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baghdad daily killings are no news worthy anymore for three reasons. First they are not American , second they are Arabs and Muslims and the third it doesn’t help Republican image in the next November election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My final notes is about how America breeds twisted minds that drive them to shoot innocent people. When an American sick man happened to be a truck driver ,he or she will go to Pennsylvania or Columbine High school and start spilling bloods. But when he is somebody who run the White House, he will go to Middle East and drop cluster bombs to kill thousands of Arab women and children. America mourned Amish and Columbine School , but couldn't care less about blood bath in Iraq and Lebanon, some evangelist minded neocon may even celebrate .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115994744344636159?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115994744344636159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115994744344636159' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115994744344636159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115994744344636159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/10/amish-shooting.html' title='Amish Shooting'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115841859872651368</id><published>2006-09-16T21:52:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:37.231+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bless You Child</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/pendetacabul.5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="383" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/pendetacabul.5.jpg" width="248" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115841859872651368?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115841859872651368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115841859872651368' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115841859872651368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115841859872651368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/09/bless-you-child.html' title='Bless You Child'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115832455719543416</id><published>2006-09-15T19:33:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:37.171+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Unholy Father</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.joe-perez.com/pics/emperor_sidious05.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 288px; CURSOR: hand" height="173" alt="" src="http://www.joe-perez.com/pics/emperor_sidious05.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew it. I knew sooner or later this guy will mess around with Muslim.This is my 3rd posting about a bad guy turn pope. When my first posting &lt;a href="http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_maskamto_archive.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;This Hate Has Taken It’s Toll&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;said that the would be saint Pope Benedict hate Islam by opposing Turkey’s joining EU because Turkey is Islam, I received many objections, some are disproportionately ugly, from readers. When the same pope demand pardon for Catholic terrorist Fabianus Tibo, I posted another critical remark about this guy &lt;a href="http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_maskamto_archive.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Random Notes Part 3: God Or Lucifer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and I had been terrorized by emails , I am sure, sent by some of those Catholic terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I simply said what I have to say, that is, pope Benedict is an Islamophobic asshole. The recent pope’s remark about Jihad and prophet Muhammad delivered in his speech in Regensburg University further proved my presumption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may never read this in KOMPAS tomorrow, but during his speech pope said that prophet Muhammad brings “evil and inhuman things” to the world. He said: &lt;em&gt;"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."&lt;/em&gt; He said that Jihad concept is not compatible with the nature of God who love. Later Vatican speaker tried to retract pope’s statement by saying that pope only quoted a 14th century orthodox Christian emperor Manuel Peleologus the 2nd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if it was true , why the hell a “holy father” as he is named by his followers cited unholy words from a14th century sick emperor. He certainly knew the statement will provoke angers among Muslims but he did it. So I assume this guy failed to control his hatred against Islam and blew this crap to release his obsessive steam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I were him, I would focus my attention to Catholics churches internal matters such as eradicating pedophilic priest rather than giving stupid remarks about something he doesn’t have a knowledge about. I don’t know if he is part of the problem, scratching his balls behind his robe while watching altar boys singing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115832455719543416?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115832455719543416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115832455719543416' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115832455719543416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115832455719543416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/09/unholy-father.html' title='Unholy Father'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115807415767198486</id><published>2006-09-12T19:12:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:37.100+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Patti Smith On Qana</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.cbgb.com/shrine/press/store/nytimes82002/Patti%20Smith%20Inspired%20Clothing%20NY%20Times%20Mag%20page%201.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 412px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 291px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="241" alt="" src="http://www.cbgb.com/shrine/press/store/nytimes82002/Patti%20Smith%20Inspired%20Clothing%20NY%20Times%20Mag%20page%201.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is no time for Patti Smith to sing &lt;em&gt;Sometime Love Just Ain't Enough&lt;/em&gt; with Don Henley .

A used to be great nation now run by a bunch of  zealot called neo conservative believe in policies guided by Zionist, Islamophobia  and racism, if not tribalism.  I watched Metro TV news last night that said how  in US airports ,passengers with Middle Eastern face are treated like terrorist before they can board a plane. The following story told by an Iraqi architect Raeed Jarrar now living in California tell all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jaffar traveled in war torn Middle East with other American anti war friends meet Sunni and Shiite Iraqi MP’s ,Tom Hayden and Abu Ghraib torture victims. His Middle East trip was loaded with bitter sweet experience. But upon returning to his home in California, his journey to racism inflicted America begun. Following is part of his &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://raedinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2006/08/back-from-mideast.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;posting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That week in Jordan and Syria was so intense. I came back to DC for a day, then I took the bus to New York to watch &lt;a href="http://www.democracycellproject.net/blog/archives/2006/08/opening_night_f_1.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fear Up: Stories from Baghdad and Guantanamo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and participate in some discussions.The next day, I went to JFK in the morning to catch my Jet Blue plane to California. I reached Terminal 6 at around 7:15 am, issued a boarding pass, and checked all my bags in, and then walked to the security checkpoint. For the first time in my life, I was taken to a secondary search . My shoes were searched, and I was asked for my boarding pass and ID.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After passing the security, I walked to check where gate 16 was, then I went to get something to eat. I got some cheese and grapes with some orange juice and I went back to Gate 16 and sat down in the boarding area enjoying my breakfast and some sunshine.At around 8:30, two men approached me while I was checking my phone. One of them asked me if I had a minute and he showed me his badge, I said: "sure". We walked some few steps and stood in front of the boarding counter where I found out that they were accompanied by another person, a woman from Jet Blue. One of the two men who approached me first, Inspector Harris, asked for my id card and boarding pass. I gave him my boarding pass and driver's license. He said "people are feeling offended because of your t-shirt". I looked at my t-shirt: I was wearing my shirt which states in both Arabic and English "we will not be silent".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can take a look at it in this picture taken during our Jordan meetings with Iraqi MPs. I said "I am very sorry if I offended anyone, I didnt know that this t-shirt will be offensive". He asked me if I had any other T-shirts to put on, and I told him that I had checked in all of my bags and I asked him "why do you want me to take off my t-shirt? Isn't it my constitutional right to express myself in this way?" The second man in a greenish suit interfered and said "people here in the US don't understand these things about constitutional rights". So I answered him "I live in the US, and I understand it is my right to wear this t-shirt".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I once again asked the three of them : "How come you are asking me to change my t-shirt? Isn't this my constitutional right to wear it? I am ready to change it if you tell me why I should. Do you have an order against Arabic t-shirts? Is there such a law against Arabic script?" so inspector Harris answered "you can't wear a t-shirt with Arabic script and come to an airport. It is like wearing a t-shirt that reads "I am a robber" and going to a bank". I said "but the message on my t-shirt is not offensive, it just says "we will not be silent".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got this t-shirt from Washington DC. There are more than a 1000 t-shirts printed with the same slogan, you can google them or email them at wewillnotbesilent@gmail.com . It is printed in many other languages: Arabic, Farsi, Spanish, English, etc." Inspector Harris said: "We cant make sure that your t-shirt means we will not be silent, we don't have a translator. Maybe it means something else". I said: "But as you can see, the statement is in both Arabic and English". He said "maybe it is not the same message". So based on the fact that Jet Blue doesn't have a translator, anything in Arabic is suspicious because maybe it'll mean something bad!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, a third man walked in our direction. He stood with us without introducing himself, and he looked at inspector Harris's notes and asks him: "is that his information?", inspector Harris answered "yes". The third man, Mr. Harmon, asks inspector Harris : "can I copy this information?", and inspector Harris says "yes, sure". inspector Harris said: "You don't have to take of your t-shirt, just put it on inside-out". I refused to put on my shirt inside-out. So the woman interfered and said "let's reach a compromise. I will buy you a new t-shirt and you can put it on on top of this one". I said "I want to keep this t-shirt on".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both inspector Harris and Mr. Harmon said "No, we can't let you get on that airplane with your t-shirt". I said "I am ready to put on another t-shirt if you tell me what is the law that requires such a thing. I want to talk to your supervisor". Inspector Harris said "You don't have to talk to anyone. Many people called and complained about your t-shirt. Jetblue customers were calling before you reached the checkpoint, and costumers called when you were waiting here in the boarding area". it was then that I realized that my t-shirt was the reason why I had been taken to the secondary checking. I asked the four people again to let me talk to any supervisor, and they refused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jet Blue woman was asking me again to end this problem by just putting on a new t-shirt, and I felt threatened by Mr. Harmon's remarks as in "Let's end this the nice way". Taking in consideration what happens to other Arabs and Muslims in US airports, and realizing that I will miss my flight unless I covered the Arabic script on my t-shirt as I was told by the four agents, I asked the Jet Blue woman to buy me a t-shirt and I said "I don't want to miss my flight." She asked, what kind of t-shirts do you like. Should I get you an "I heart new york t-shirt?". So Mr. Harmon said "No, we shouldn't ask him to go from one extreme to another". I asked mr. harmon why does he assume I hate new york if I had some Arabic script on my t-shirt, but he didn't answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The woman went away for 3 minutes, and she came back with a gray t-shirt reading "new york". I put the t-shirt on and removed the price tag. I told the four people who were involved in the conversation: "I feel very sad that my personal freedom was taken away like this. I grew up under authoritarian governments in the Middle East, and one of the reasons I chose to move to the US was that I don't want an officer to make me change my t-shirt. I will pursue this incident today through a Constitutional rights organization, and I am sure we will meet soon".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone said okay and left, and I went back to my seat. At 8:50 I was called again by a fourth young man, standing with the same jetblue woman. He asked for my boarding pass, so I gave it to him, and stood in front of the boarding counter. I asked the woman: "is everything okay?", she responded: "Yes, sure. We just have to change your seat". I said: "but I want this seat, that's why I chose it online 4 weeks ago", the fourth man said " there is a lady with a toddler sitting there. We need the seat." Then they re-issued me a small boarding pass for seat 24a, instead of seat 3a. They said that I can go to the airplane now. I was the first person who entered the airplane, and I was really annoyed about being assigned this seat in the back of the airplane too. It smelled like the bathrooms, which is why I had originally chosen a seat which would be far from that area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It sucks to be an Arab/Muslim living in the US these days. When you go to the middle east, you are a US tax-payer destroying people's houses with your money, and when you come back to the US, you are a suspected terrorist and plane hijacker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to call Jet Blue and ask about their regulations against Arabic script, you can use the following numbers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* If calling within the U.S., Bahamas or Puerto Rico: 1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583)&lt;br /&gt;* If calling from the Dominican Republic: 1-200-9898&lt;br /&gt;* If calling from outside the U.S. or Dominican Republic: 001-801-365-2525&lt;br /&gt;* Customers who are deaf or heard of hearing (TTY/TDD): 1-800-336-5530&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Help make the US a better place by stopping such unconstitutional violations of our rights.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115694332027529124?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115694332027529124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115694332027529124' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115694332027529124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115694332027529124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/08/true-color-of-america.html' title='True Color Of America'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115614590882903256</id><published>2006-08-21T14:23:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:33.009+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bush Is Considering Dictatorship In Iraq</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;The man who plan to build " a new middle east" is turning nuts (well, he always been actually) and now considering dictatirship in Iraq. This is in line with my previous cartoon posting equating Bush's democracy with fascism. You can read following article in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/17/world/middleeast/17military.html?_r=1&amp;ref=todayspaper&amp;amp;pagewanted=all&amp;oref=slogin"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;New York Times.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 — The number of roadside bombs planted in Iraq rose in July to the highest monthly total of the war, offering more evidence that the anti-American insurgency has continued to strengthen despite the killing of the terrorist leader Abu Musab Alzarqawi .Along with a sharp increase in sectarian attacks, the number of daily strikes against American and Iraqi security forces has doubled since January. The deadliest means of attack, roadside bombs, made up much of that increase. In July, of 2,625 explosive devices, 1,666 exploded and 959 were discovered before they went off. In January, 1,454 bombs exploded or were found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bomb statistics — compiled by American military authorities in Baghdad and made available at the request of The New York Times — are part of a growing body of data and intelligence analysis about the violence in Iraq that has produced somber public assessments from military commanders, administration officials and lawmakers on Capitol Hill.&lt;br /&gt;“The insurgency has gotten worse by almost all measures, with insurgent attacks at historically high levels,” said a senior Defense Department official who agreed to discuss the issue only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for attribution. “The insurgency has more public support and is demonstrably more capable in numbers of people active and in its ability to direct violence than at any point in time.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A separate, classified report by the &lt;a title="More articles about Defense Intelligence Agency" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/d/defense_intelligence_agency/index.html?inline=nyt-org"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Defense Intelligence Agency&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, dated Aug. 3, details worsening security conditions inside the country and describes how Iraq risks sliding toward civil war, according to several officials who have read the document or who have received a briefing on its contents.&lt;br /&gt;The nine-page D.I.A. study, titled “Iraq Update,” compiles the most recent empirical data on the number of attacks, bombings, murders and other violent acts, as well as diagrams of the groups carrying out insurgent and sectarian attacks, the officials said.&lt;br /&gt;The report’s contents are being widely discussed among Pentagon officials, military commanders and, in particular, on Capitol Hill, where concern among senior lawmakers of both parties is growing over a troubling dichotomy: even as Iraq takes important steps toward democracy — including the election of a permanent government this spring — the violence has gotten worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senior Bush administration officials reject the idea that Iraq is on the verge of civil war, and state with unwavering confidence that the broad American strategy in Iraq remains on course. But American commanders in Iraq have shifted thousands of soldiers from outlying provinces to Baghdad to combat increased violence in the Iraqi capital.&lt;br /&gt;The increased attacks have taken their toll. While the number of Americans killed in action per month has declined slightly — to 38 killed in action in July, from 42 in January, in part reflecting improvements in armor and other defenses — the number of Americans wounded has soared, to 518 in July from 287 in January. Explosive devices accounted for slightly more than half the deaths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An analysis of the 1,666 bombs that exploded in July shows that 70 percent were directed against the American-led military force, according to a spokesman for the military command in Baghdad. Twenty percent struck Iraqi security forces, up from 9 percent in 2005. And 10 percent of the blasts struck civilians, twice the rate from last year.&lt;br /&gt;Taken together, the new assessments by the military and the intelligence community provide evidence that violence in Iraq is at its highest level yet. And they describe twin dangers facing the country: insurgent violence against Americans and Iraqi security forces, which has continued to increase since the killing on June 7 of Mr. Zarqawi, the leader of the insurgent group Alqaeda in Mesopotamia, and the primarily sectarian violence seen in Iraqi-on-Iraqi attacks being aimed at civilians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq is now locked in a cycle in which strikes by Sunni Arab militants have prompted the rise of Shiite militias, which have in turn aggravated Sunni fears. Beyond that, many Sunnis say they believe that the new Shiite-dominated government has not made sufficient efforts to create a genuine unity government. As a result, Sunni attitudes appear to have hardened.&lt;br /&gt;As the politics in Iraq have grown more polarized since the elections in December, in which many Sunni Arabs voted, attacks have soared, including sectarian clashes that have killed an average of more than 100 Iraqi civilians per day over the past two months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to bombs, attacks with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and small-caliber weapons against American and Iraqi military forces have also increased, according to American military officials. But the number of roadside bombs — or improvised explosive devices as they are known by the military — is an especially important indicator of enemy activity. Bomb attacks are the largest killer of American troops. They also require a network: a bomb maker; financiers to pay for the effort; and operatives to dig holes in the road, plant the explosives, watch for approaching American and Iraqi forces and set off the blast when troops approach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the violence growing in Iraq, American intelligence agencies are working to produce a National Intelligence Estimate about the security conditions there — the first such formal governmentwide assessment about the situation in Iraq since the summer of 2004.&lt;br /&gt;In late July, D.I.A. officials briefed several Senate committees about the insurgent and sectarian violence. The presentation was based on a draft version of what became the Aug. 3 study, and one recipient described it as “extremely negative.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That presentation was followed by public testimony on Aug. 3 by Gen.&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="More articles about John P. Abizaid" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/a/john_p_abizaid/index.html?inline=nyt-per"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John P. Abizaid&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the top American military commander in the Middle East, who told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the sectarian violence was “probably as bad as I’ve seen it, in Baghdad in particular” and said if it was not stopped, “it is possible that Iraq could move towards civil war.” General Abizaid later emphasized that he was “optimistic” that the slide toward civil war could be prevented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officials who have read or been briefed on the new D.I.A. analysis said its assessments paralleled both aspects of General Abizaid’s testimony. The newest accounts of the risks of civil war may already be altering the political dynamic in Washington. After General Abizaid’s testimony, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Senator John W. Warner of Virginia, said that if Iraq fell into civil war, the committee might need to examine whether the authorization provided by Congress for the use of American force in Iraq would still be valid. The comments by Senator Warner, a senior Republican who is a staunch supporter of the president, have reverberated loudly across Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush administration officials now admit that Iraqi government’s original plan to rein in the violence in Baghdad, announced in June, has failed. The Pentagon has decided to rush more American troops into the capital, and the new military operation to restore security there is expected to begin in earnest next month. Yet some outside experts who have recently visited the White House said Bush administration officials were beginning to plan for the possibility that Iraq’s democratically elected government might not survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Senior administration officials have acknowledged to me that they are considering alternatives other than democracy,” said one military affairs expert who received an Iraq briefing at the White House last month and agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity.&lt;br /&gt;“Everybody in the administration is being quite circumspect,” the expert said, “but you can sense their own concern that this is drifting away from democracy.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115614590882903256?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115614590882903256/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115614590882903256' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115614590882903256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115614590882903256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/08/bush-is-considering-dictatorship-in.html' title='Bush Is Considering Dictatorship In Iraq'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115599806997847520</id><published>2006-08-19T21:29:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:32.954+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fascistic Democracy</title><content type='html'>I like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rall.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Ted Rall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; comics.

Israel failed to get their two POW’s held by Hizbullah, failed to crush Hizbullah, failed to disarm Hizbullah, failed to mute Hizbullah television station, failed to make Hizbullah enemy of Lebanon, failed to….. the list goes too long. True, Lebanon has been destroyed and reconstruction will takes $2.5 billion. But mind you, the war has cost Israel $6 Billion and what Israel get is a cold graveyard of their hope to beat Hizbullah. In the mean time Hizbullah happily send their martyrs to heaven, at least that is what they believe. It makes me feel good to see those facist pigs bite the shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is indeed the end of the war as UN resolution wish ,the credit undoubtedly goes to Hizbullah, whose resistance and resilience bring about Israel defeat . It should be noted that Lebanese government did nothing except it’s PM weeping in front of Arab League begging mercy to Arab chickens. Moreover, what can you expect from the guy like Siniora whose balls are clutched one in Israel hand, and the other in American hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not difficult to imagine what would happen if Israel beat Hizbullah in a few days as they believed they could. The bloody duo ,US - Israel would have expanded their blood party to Syria and possibly Iran and at the same time do from Jenin and Rafah what they have done to Tyre and Beirut, the merciless massacre against children , because the two have learnt that the so called international community will never be able to stop them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does UN resolution works? I am not sure about it. Israel has never suffer such a shameful defeat and so it is always logical to suspect that cessation of attack may be used to take a long breath and consolidate until a new strategy is agreed and until a new batch of cluster bombs shipped by America arrived. Mean time, Olmert vows to pursuit Hizbullah and make them underground movement. That being said, if I were Sheikh Nasrallah, I would also use this pause to get more deadly long range missiles that can reach Tel Aviv and more anti tank amunitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the two warring parties sincerely abide by UN resolution - which to me is unlikely - then by Monday Morning 14th of August 2006 a new hero is born, and he is Syekh Hasan Nasrallah. The phenomenal Hizbullah victory has made Syekh Hasan not only a hero of Lebanese people, but of every Palestinian , Muslims and Arabs in general. Gone are the charms of Yasser Arafat, Gamal Abdel Nasser and other Arab loosers. Syeikh Hasan is a living nightmare for Jewish beasts and US Evangelical Christian zealots fascist now ruling America. Syekh Hasan Nasrallah will become an inspiration to all Arab people that hopefully may shake and topple the rotten corrupt dictatorship across Middle East.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115561995112192363?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115561995112192363/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115561995112192363' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115561995112192363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115561995112192363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/08/hero-is-born_15.html' title='A Hero Is Born'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115504647436456350</id><published>2006-08-08T20:44:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:32.738+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nasrallah,The Future Leader Of Arab</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.mabus.biz/images/nasrallah.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.mabus.biz/images/nasrallah.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Never before Arab nations have a leader that dare to challenge the so called most powerfull armed forces in the world, Israel.

With Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon, Sheik Nasrallah can continue fighting on the grounds that he seeks to expel an occupier, much as he did in the years preceding &lt;a title="More news and information about Israel." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/israel/index.html?inline=nyt-geo"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Israel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;’s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; withdrawal in 2000. Or he can accept a cease-fire — perhaps to try to rearm — and earn the gratitude of Lebanon and much of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analysts expect some kind of middle outcome, with the large-scale rocket attacks stopping but Hezbollah guerrillas still attacking soldiers so that Israel still feels pain.&lt;br /&gt;In any case, the Arab world has a new icon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gone are the empty threats made by President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s official radio station during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war to push the Jews into the sea even as Israel seized Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula. Gone is &lt;a title="More articles about Saddam Hussein." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/h/saddam_hussein/index.html?inline=nyt-per"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Saddam Hussein&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;’s idle vow to “burn half of Israel,” only to launch limited volleys of sputtering Scuds. Gone too are the unfulfilled promises of &lt;a title="More articles about Yasir Arafat." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/a/yasir_arafat/index.html?inline=nyt-per"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Yasir Arafat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to lead the Palestinians back into Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there is Sheik Nasrallah, a 46-year-old Lebanese militia chieftain hiding in a bunker, combining the scripted logic of a clergyman with the steely resolve of a general to completely rewrite the rules of the Arab-Israeli land feud.&lt;br /&gt;“There is the most powerful man in the Middle East,” sighed the deputy prime minister of an Arab state, watching one of Sheik Nasrallah’s four televised speeches since the war began, during an off-the-record meeting. “He’s the only Arab leader who actually does what he says he’s going to do.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Days after the current war started, he ended a speech by quietly noting that Hezbollah had just attacked an Israeli warship off Lebanon, a feat considered inconceivable for his group. Those who rushed outside saw a glow visible from the damaged vessel offshore, setting off celebrations around Beirut. The departure represented by Sheik Nasrallah — his black turban marking him as a sayyid, a cleric who can trace his lineage back to the Prophet Muhammad — has been particularly evident in those speeches. He makes no promises to destroy Israel with its superior military might, but to make it bleed and offer concessions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When he says to the people: I am your voice, I am your will, I am your conscience, I am your resistance, he combines both a sense of humility and of being anointed for the task,” said Waddah Sharara, a Lebanese sociology professor and a descendant of Shiite clerics. “He’s like the circus magician who pulls the rabbit out of his hat and always knows exactly who is his audience.” Some call it his “Disney touch.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In many ways, this war is the moment that Sheik Nasrallah has been preparing for ever since he was first elected to run Hezbollah at age 32 in 1992, after an Israeli rocket incinerated his predecessor. In his broadcasts he appears tranquil, assured, sincere and well informed, in command of both the facts and the situation, utterly dedicated to his cause and to his men. He is aloof yet tries to lend his secretive, heavily armed organization an air of transparency by sharing battlefield details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Thursday, he offered to stop firing missiles if Israel halted its attacks, saying Hezbollah preferred ground combat. Hezbollah’s position on any cease-fire, echoed by the Lebanese government, is that none is possible as long as Israeli soldiers remain inside the country.&lt;br /&gt;“He has all the power; the government has no cards in its hand,” said Jad al-Akhaoui, the media adviser to a Lebanese cabinet minister. “He keeps saying that he supports the prime minister, but there has been no translation in the field, nothing has stopped. The decision is still Hezbollah’s decision.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not even clear how such decisions are formulated. Even though Hezbollah has two cabinet ministers, proposals are passed through Nabih Berri, the head of the Amal Party and Hezbollah’s onetime rival as the voice of the Shiite Muslim working class.&lt;br /&gt;Lebanese officials said that once Mr. Berri passed on the proposals, nobody was quite sure what happened. Hezbollah officials are either unreachable or mum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Sheik Nasrallah is definitely in touch. He gloats over the evident confusion reflected in the Israeli news media about their military offensive. He is known to have read the autobiographies of Israel’s prime ministers. He always calls Israel “the Zionist entity,” maintaining that all Jewish immigrants should return to their countries of origin and that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past, when Israel advanced into Lebanon against Palestinian fighters, the Palestinians would defend fixed positions, then retreat toward Beirut as each line fell.&lt;br /&gt;Analysts say Sheik Nasrallah’s genius was to train hundreds of grass-roots fighters — school teachers and butchers and truck drivers — then to use religion to inspire them to fight until death, with a guaranteed spot in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheik Nasrallah outlined some tactics in Thursday’s speech. “It is not our policy to hang on to territory; we do not want all our mujahedeen and youths to be killed defending a post, hill or village,” he said, sitting in a studio with the flags of Lebanon and Hezbollah behind him. The idea is to lure elite Israeli soldiers into a trap by having them walk into villages before his guerrillas open fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a world where fathers are known by the name of their eldest son, Sheik Nasrallah is known as Abu Hadi or father of Hadi, after his eldest son, who died in September 1997, age 18, in a firefight with the Israelis. The name instantly reminds everyone of his personal credibility and commitment to the fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On that September day, Sheik Nasrallah was scheduled to deliver a speech in Haret Hreik, the unkempt southern Beirut suburb dense with apartment houses that Israel has just turned largely to rubble. But he said nothing of his loss until the crowd started chanting for him to speak about the “martyrs.” He eulogized Hadi as part of a great victory. In interviews, he said that he would not give his enemies the satisfaction of seeing him weep publicly but that he mourned privately. He has a daughter and two surviving sons. The eldest, Jawad, around 26, is believed to be fighting in southern Lebanon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheik Nasrallah takes obvious pride in standing up to Israel on the battlefield. All his wartime speeches have been laced with references to restoring lost Arab virility, a big sell in a region long suffering from a sense of impotence. He called the three southern villages where the fiercest clashes erupted “the triangle of heroism, manhood, courage and gallantry.”&lt;br /&gt;He can be by turns avuncular and menacing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walid Jumblat, the chieftain of the Druse sect and one of Sheik Nasrallah’s more outspoken critics, said he found the combination unsettling. “Sometimes the eyes of people betray them,” Mr. Jumblat said in an interview in his mountain castle. “When he’s calm, he’s laughing. He’s very nice. But when he’s a little bit squeezed, he looks at you in the eyes fiercely with fiery eyes.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the hierarchical rankings of Shiite Muslim clergy, Sheik Nasrallah is a rather ordinary hojatolislam, one step below an ayatollah, and far below being a mujtahid, or “source of emulation” to be followed as a guide. Yet the Shiite faithful in Lebanon revere him, both as a religious figure and as a leader who gained for them a modicum of respect in the country’s sectarian political system long dominated by Christians and Sunni Muslim barons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Families who evacuated their homes in Beirut’s southern suburbs seemed invariably to leave behind an open Koran with Sheik Nasrallah’s picture propped up nearby, in the hope that the holy verses would protect their homes and their leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is believed to live modestly and rarely socializes outside Hezbollah’s ruling circles. He avoids the telephone for safety reasons, but has met thousands of constituents and dispatches personal messengers to congratulate them for weddings and births.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from Hezbollah’s secretive military operations, the state within a state that he helped build with Iranian and expatriate financing includes hospitals, schools and other social services.&lt;br /&gt;Sheik Nasrallah is a powerful orator with a robust command of classical Arabic, yet he makes himself widely understood by using some Lebanese dialect in every speech. He has coined numerous popular phrases, like calling Israel “more feeble than a spider’s web.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He comes across as far less dour than most Shiite clerics partly due to his roly-poly figure and slight lisp. But he also — very unusually — cracks jokes. Prof. Nizar Hamzeh, who teaches international relations at the American University of Kuwait and has written a book on Hezbollah, recalled a Nasrallah speech from last year, given while Secretary of State &lt;a title="More articles about Condoleezza Rice." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/r/condoleezza_rice/index.html?inline=nyt-per"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Condoleezza Rice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was in the region. A helicopter happened to clatter overhead at some point while he was criticizing United States meddling, and the sheik quipped, “You might be able to catch a glimpse of her now; I hope she sees us as well.” The crowd roared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has never pushed hard-line Islamic rules like veils for women in the neighborhoods that Hezbollah controls, which analysts attribute to his exposure to many of Lebanon’s 17 sects.&lt;br /&gt;Born in 1960 in Beirut, Sheik Nasrallah grew up in the Karanteena district of eastern Beirut, a mixed neighborhood of impoverished Christian Armenians, Druse, Palestinians and Shiites.&lt;br /&gt;His father had a small vegetable stand, but the 1975 eruption of the civil war forced the family to flee to their native southern village.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oldest of nine children and long entranced by the mosque, he decamped for the most famous Shiite hawza, or seminary, in Najaf, &lt;a title="More news and information about Iraq." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/iraq/index.html?inline=nyt-geo"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Iraq&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; He fled in 1978 one step ahead of Saddam Hussein’s secret police, returning to Lebanon to join Amal, then a new Shiite militia. He became the Bekaa Valley commander in his early 20’s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he considered the Islamic Revolution in &lt;a title="More news and information about Iran." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/iran/index.html?inline=nyt-geo"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Iran&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; led by Ayatollah &lt;a title="More articles about Ruhollah Khomeini" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/k/ruhollah_khomeini/index.html?inline=nyt-per"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Ruhollah Khomeini&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in 1979 to be the real model for Shiites to end their traditional second-class status and moved to Hezbollah as it coalesced in the early 1980’s. He studied in a seminary in Qum, Iran, briefly in 1989.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115504647436456350?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115504647436456350/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115504647436456350' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115504647436456350'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115504647436456350'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/08/nasrallahthe-future-leader-of-arab.html' title='Nasrallah,The Future Leader Of Arab'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115468971664272822</id><published>2006-08-04T17:48:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:32.680+07:00</updated><title type='text'>AHMADINEJAD: Destroy Israel, End Crisis</title><content type='html'>You need brain and guts to beat Israel. Suicide bombing is too costly. Learn from Hizbullah how this movement organize it's military wing in such a well planned manner ,so that they can resist Israeli attacks, and fight back kills Israeli soldiers which no Arab country ever done since the state of Israel was illegally set up. I wish that all Sunnis today temporarily convert to Shiite to tap the proven guts ,brain and fighting spirit that Shiites have. Then, after Israel perish, they can return to their Sunni homes where they belong with better self confident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to what Ahmadinejad said during a session in OIC (Organisation Of Islamic Countries) emergency meeting in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia yesterday that I quoted from &lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;CBS - Associated Press&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The solution to the Middle East conflict is to destry Israel for good. Although the main solution is for the elimination of the Zionist regime, at this stage an immediate cease-fire must be implemented,"&lt;/em&gt; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously he called for Israel to be wiped off the map, because the world would be better off without the existence of the Zionist regime. Israel &lt;em&gt;"is an illegitimate regime, there is no legal basis for its existence,"&lt;/em&gt; he said.Ahmadinejad said the United States of using Israel to try to control the Middle East and its oil wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Today the Americans are after the greater Middle East,"&lt;/em&gt; he said. &lt;em&gt;"The Zionist regime is used to reach this objective. The sole existence of this regime is for invasion and attack."&lt;/em&gt;He urged Muslim states to isolate the United States and Britain, accusing them of supporting Israel's military offensive and saying they should be expelled from the U.N. Security Council.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad also rejected proposals for deploying international troops along the Israeli-Lebanese border to separate the warring parties&lt;em&gt;."Peace and security in Lebanon and its borders has to be preserved by the Lebanese government and people. Deployment of foreign forces is not acceptable in any shape unless it is just, based on U.N. rules and preserves the unity and territorial integrity of Lebanon," &lt;/em&gt;he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now listen to Sheik Hasan Nasrallah as reported in 4th August edition of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Los Angeles Time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; , the commander in chief of Hizbullah in his speech in Al-Manaar Television in Lebanon yesterday, mocking Israeli claim that a number of Hizbullah rocket has been knock down:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"I will tell you something,"&lt;/em&gt; he said.&lt;em&gt; "We are at military readiness. We are still in complete command of the front. We are in control of all the missile sites."&lt;/em&gt; Nasrallah warned Israel against further strikes on Lebanon's capital. &lt;em&gt;"If you attack our capital, Beirut, we will attack your capital, Tel Aviv. I'm telling you honestly — we will hit you very hard,"&lt;/em&gt; he said.&lt;br /&gt;In his address, Nasrallah described the Israeli offensive as coming at the behest of the Bush administration. "Israel is doing … this with American orders, American arms and American rockets," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Hezbollah spokesman Hussein Rahal said his group would not agree to a cease-fire until all Israeli troops had left Lebanon. &lt;em&gt;"Even if there is a cease-fire, we are entitled to resist occupiers even if they occupy one inch of our land,"&lt;/em&gt; he said.Hezbollah had fired more than 213 rockets into Israel by nightfall Thursday, despite a wide-ranging Israeli ground offensive that military officials say has deprived the group of many of its prime launching sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel suffered the highest one-day death toll of its 23-day-old Lebanon offensive: eight civilians killed in rocket strikes and four soldiers in fierce ground combat.Five of the Israeli civilian deaths occurred in the northern Israeli coastal town of Acre, where a group of people emerged from a bomb shelter after one barrage only to be caught in the next. In Jerusalem, an American immigrant killed Tuesday when a Hezbollah missile struck a building he was searching in the Lebanese village of Aita Shaab was buried. Staff Sgt. Michael Levin, 22, was from Bucks County, Pa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Ahmadinejad and Nasrallah doing a good job in Middle East, who needs Arab chicken like Princes Abdullah and Mahmud Abbas..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115468971664272822?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115468971664272822/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115468971664272822' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115468971664272822'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115468971664272822'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/08/ahmadinejad-destroy-israel-end-crisis.html' title='AHMADINEJAD: Destroy Israel, End Crisis'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115435040162044821</id><published>2006-07-31T19:12:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:32.614+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Profile Of Hizbullah</title><content type='html'>Too many blog bandwidth devoted to condemn the crime against humanity as done by the axis of beast Israel and America yet the devastation caused by this despicable acts are beyond satanic imagination. Today I would rather describe a noble cause moved by a noble movement called Hizbullah. You may have been hypnotized by FOX or CNN, the mouthpiece of murderous zionist trying to plant in your brain that Hizbullah is a terrorist organisation. Remember only Israel ,America and Tony Blair The Poodle declare that Hizbullah is terrorist. The rest of the world recognize Hizbullah as a legitimate organisation. Hizbullah has proved that they are the only force who is dare to challenge Zionist. The rest of the Arab world are chicken shit. Hizbullah has not only capable to hit Isreal back, they will soon prove that a new Middle East is in the making. A Middle East with sovereignity free from zionist oppression. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;The Guardian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; published a profile of Hizbullah in its Saturday July 29th edition :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Inside a well-furnished apartment in a village on the outskirts of Tyre, with shelves of books piled from floor to ceiling, a black turbaned cleric and three men sit sipping bitter coffee. By the door is a pile of Kalashnikovs and ammunition boxes; handguns are tucked into the men's trousers. The four are Hizbullah fighters, waiting for the Israelis.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Patience is our main virtue, we can wait for days, weeks, months before we attack. The Israelis are always impatient in battle and in strategy," says the cleric, Sayed Ali, who claims to be a descendant of the prophet. "I know them very well."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;As if to make his point, the sound of Israeli shells blasting the surrounding hills shakes the door and shutters every few minutes. Ali does know the Israelis. He started fighting them at the age of 17 when they invaded Lebanon in 1982. Three years later he was arrested with two of his comrades and spent a few months in an Israeli prison. Within weeks of his release he was fighting them again.That's what he did for the next six years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the last five years he has been finishing his theology studies in Tehran. A month ago, he was asked by Hizbullah to return to southern Lebanon. He arrived a week before the fighting began.Standing at the window, he points to the banana plantations between us and the blue Mediterranean. "I have fought for years in these groves. We used to sit and wait for them [the Israelis] to make a move and then we would hit. They always moved too quickly, too soon."All over the hills of south Lebanon hundreds of men like Sayed Ali and his comrades are waiting - some in bunkers, some in farm houses - for the Israeli troops to arrive. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sayed Ali and his men spend most of their time in the building where his apartment is, moving only at night."We stay put and we don't move till we get our orders, and this is why we are not like any other militia. A militiaman will fire whenever he likes at whatever he likes," explains one of the men, who says he has been involved in firing Katyusha rockets into northern Israel. "We have specific orders. Even when we fire rockets we know when and where [to fire] and each of the men manning the launchers runs to a specific hiding place after firing the rockets."He says Hizbullah fighters expect the site of a rocket launch to be hit by an Israeli airstrike or shell within 10 to 15 minutes.Another of the men, who says he is Sayed Ali's brother, explains how Hizbullah teaches its fighters patience: "During our training we spend days in empty buildings without talking to anyone or doing anything. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;They tell me go and sit in that building, and I go and sit there and wait."According to Ali, Hizbullah operates as "a state within the state", with its own hospitals, social organisations and social security system. "But we are also an Islamic resistance movement, an indoctrinated army," he adds. "I would go and knock the door at someone and say we need $50,000, he would give me [that] because they trust us."The fighting force of the organisation is divided into two: the "active" group, whose task is to serve in Hizbullah, and the reserve, or Ta'abi'a, as it is known in Arabic. The active fighters get monthly pay. The reserves are called on only in time of war, and receive bonuses but no regular pay. A third section, the Ansar, comprises people who support or are supported by the organisation.Ali, the commander of Hizbullah in his village, and his men are part of the active force, and their orders are to wait for further orders. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Hizbullah hasn't even mobilised all its active fighters, and the Israelis are calling their reserve units," he said.Hizbullah prides itself on its secretiveness and discipline. "We don't take anyone who knocks at our door and says 'I want to join'. We raise our fighters. We take them when they are young kids and raise them to become Hizbullah fighters. Every fighter we have believes that the ultimate form of being is martyrdom." The three men nod their assent.Shia symbols and mythology play a big role in the ideology of Hizbullah, especially the tragedy of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the prophet who in the 7th century led a few hundred men against the well-organised army of the caliph in Damascus. He was slain in Karbala, and Shia around the world commemorate these events in Ashura."Every one of those fighters is a true believer, he has been not only trained to use guns and weapons but [indoctrinated] in the Shia faith and the Husseini beliefs," Ali says.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;He and his fellow fighters have been preparing for the latest conflict with the Israelis for years and he acknowledges the support received from Iran."When we defeated them in 2000 we did that with [Katyusha] rockets. We had six years to prepare for this day - the Americans are sending laser-guided missiles to the Israelis, what's wrong if the Iranians help us? When the Syrians were here we would get stuff through their supply lines, now it's more difficult."The TV is blaring patriotic songs and pictures of destroyed bridges, houses and buildings. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The men are feeling confident - only a day earlier the Israelis suffered heavy casualties in the village of Bint Jbeil."Our strategy is to hit the commandos and the Golani units like we did in Bint Jbeil," Ali says. "Those are their best units. If they can't do anything, the morale of the reserve units will sink."For Ali and his comrades, the latest conflict is a war of survival not only for Hizbullah but for the whole Shia community. It is not only as a war with Israel, their enemy for decades, but also with the Sunni community. Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt have all expressed fears of Iranian domination over the Middle East."If Israel comes out victorious from this conflict, this will be a victory for the Sunnis and they will take the Shia community back in history dozens of years to the time when we were only allowed to work as garbage collectors in this country. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Shia will all die before letting this happen again."He says that even if the international community calls on Hizbullah to disarm as part of a peace deal, he and his men will not lay down their arms. "This war is episode two in disarming Hizbullah. First they tried to do it through the Lebanese government and the UN. When they failed, the Americans asked the Israelis to do the job."Despite Israel's claims to have inflicted heavy losses on Hizbullah, Ali insists his side is in a strong position. "Things are going very well now, whatever happens we are winning. If they keep bombing us we will stay in the shelters, and with each bomb more people support the resistance. If they invade they will repeat the miserable fate they had in 1982, and if they hold one square foot they will give the Islamic resistance all the legitimacy. If they want to kill Hizbullah they have to kill every Shia in the south of Lebanon."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And even when the battle with the Israelis is over, he adds menacingly, Hizbullah will have other battles to fight. "The real battle is after the end of this war. We will have to settle score with the Lebanese politicians. We also have the best security and intelligence apparatus in this country, and we can reach any of those people who are speaking against us now. Let's finish with the Israelis and then we will settle scores later."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115435040162044821?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115435040162044821/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115435040162044821' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115435040162044821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115435040162044821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/07/profile-of-hizbullah.html' title='Profile Of Hizbullah'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115331989605740579</id><published>2006-07-19T21:29:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:32.437+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pat The Hate Master</title><content type='html'>America , the home of Hollywood , has a line up of fascinating fundamentalist show business type of preachers. You pay your money, and you can watch preachers weeping and screaming, dismissing whole segments of humanity as evil, threatening murder, shaking down congregations for extra donations or hitting people in the head to heal cancer. You will also see some monsters finally caught after years of molesting children or hear others advocating the use nuclear weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of them is Pat Robertson. This man is a complete bigot. He is a fanatic christian, and at the same time he is murderous, has a lust of money, liar, racist and has every dirty thing that make him worse than evil. But Robertson is the darling of the white house Republican religious bunch of advisors circling Bush. If he is not a christian, than he can be classified as a terrorist and detained under Patriot Act. At the very least, Robertson should be charged under hate-speech laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one of his hate campaign August last year he urged America to murder Hugo Chavez, the democratically elected President Of Venezuela. Recently, he accused the Venezuelan President of giving Osama bin Laden $US1.2 million after the September 11 attacks and of trying to obtain nuclear material from Iran. Asked how he had obtained information on Chavez giving money to bin Laden, Robertson said:&lt;em&gt; "Sources that came to me. That's what I was told.""And I know he sent a warm congratulatory letter to Carlos the Jackal, he's a friend of Muammar Gaddafi,"&lt;/em&gt; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A book by Rob Boston entitled &lt;em&gt;"The Most Dangerous Man in America? Pat Robertson and the Rise of the Christian Coalition" &lt;/em&gt;tells how Pat choosed his friends carefully. These include the now-deceased dictator of Zaire Mobutu Sese Seko (also known as the Great Leopard), Jorge Serrano, former dictator of Guatemala, and Frederick Chiluba, the ruler of Zambia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mobutu was a sadistic, murderous, dictator who kept his country's people in poverty while he became one the richest men in the world. Why would Pat support such a man? In a word, money. Zaire is a resource-rich country, and Pat saw an opportunity to partner with Mobutu to start a diamond mining operation. Pat started a company called the African Development Company, and began shipping diamond mining equipment to Zaire using the missionary non-profit Operation Blessing aircraft. Once , he flew to Zaire on Mobutu's jet, took in a cruise on his yacht, and dined at the presidential mansion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jorge Serrano was president of Guatemala, the protege of dictator General Rios Montt. In The New World Order, Robertson had this to say about Serrano:&lt;em&gt; "Serrano continues the enlightened leadership of his patron, former President Rios Montt, who insisted on honesty in government and then had every key official sign a pledge that read, "I will not steal; I will not lie; I will not abuse." &lt;/em&gt;Contrast this to what Amnesty International had to say about Rios Montt's "enlightened leadership: In just the four months of Gen. Rios Montt's rule, Amnesty International had documented more than 2,000 extrajudicial killings attributed to the Guatemalan army. Furthermore, these killings were done in horrible ways: people of all ages were not only shot to death, they were burned alive, hacked to death, disemboweled, drowned, beheaded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of Frederick Chiluba is also an interesting one. The President of Zambia since 1991, he declared that Zambia would henceforth be a Christian nation. The public school system became Christian-only, despite the existence of a sizable minority of Muslims and Hindus in the country. In response to their need for education, Chiluba simply suggested that they open up their own schools. The national TV and radio stations also turned to all Christian programming. Robertson did an interview with Chiluba on the 700 Club in 1995, telling him &lt;em&gt;"Your country is not only the standard for Africa but for the rest of the world." &lt;/em&gt;Afterward, he asked his audience &lt;em&gt;"Wouldn't you love to have someone like that as President of the United States of America?"&lt;/em&gt; And Halleluja ..... now, the United States Of America has got a President resembling Chiluba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's another side of Pat, a racist side that he has been very careful about hiding. The idea that Robertson thinks that a white person's vote should matter more than a black person's vote is something to think about when hearing the Christian Coalition's talk of improving race relations in America.&lt;em&gt; "I think 'one man, one vote,' just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights."--&lt;/em&gt; (Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 3/18/92)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And more than his believe in white supremacy is his conviction that non christians should be the 2nd class citizen &lt;em&gt;."When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?' the media challenged me. `You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.'" &lt;/em&gt;--(Pat Robertson's "The New World Order, page 218 )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/Pat_Robertson.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" height="258" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/Pat_Robertson.1.jpg" width="362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115331989605740579?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115331989605740579/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115331989605740579' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115331989605740579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115331989605740579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/07/pat-hate-master_19.html' title='Pat The Hate Master'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115312707927499182</id><published>2006-07-17T15:36:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:32.190+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are You Part Of Zionist Killing Machine ?</title><content type='html'>Israel 's brutal killings in Lebanon and Palestine are escalating these days.

You may have watched beautiful footwork on the screen, but you may have missed something behind the scene, and that is how triple security protection has been given to American soccer team. While other teams carried their flags in their bus, American team bus goes without flag attached. This shows how America or perhaps also American is the most hated nation in the world. Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Gulag, Haditha and several other atrocities committed by American (troops) are visible and overheard all over the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://afsyuhud.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Fatih Syuhud&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; blog  published a video which, thanks to Google, he managed to keep in Google's video vault before the original video was removed . The Video shows US marines singing a song of death with joy and excitement after shooting and killing an innocent Iraqi little girl right between her eyes. The US Marine fully satisfied to see the spray of blood from the slain little girl. &lt;em&gt;“I grabbed her little sister and put her in front of me. As the bullets began to fly, the blood sprayed from between her eyes, and then I laughed maniacally. . .I blew those little f**kers to eternity. . .They should have known they were f**king with the Marines.”&lt;/em&gt;  so the Marine sang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the usual, the Marine &lt;a href="http://www.cair.com/default.asp?Page=articleView&amp;id=2188&amp;amp;theType=NR"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;apologize&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;d&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to Muslims ,but no official statement were made by the Bush regime which shows that an Evil Empire is in the making. You can watch the video by downloading from &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3639999632928002318"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Fatih’s playlist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in Google video.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115124212224038573?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115124212224038573/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115124212224038573' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115124212224038573'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115124212224038573'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/06/evil-song-of-death.html' title='An Evil Song Of Death'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-115012130292406302</id><published>2006-06-12T20:45:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:32.076+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Zarqawi Is Dead ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;It is always good policy to tell the truth unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jerome K.Jerome&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Washington has been telling too many lies that at a certain point they are trapped in their inconsistent lies which makes Washington a bad liar. The news surrounding Zarqawi’s death is changing from time to time like Hollywood cheap thriller. First, there was an official announcement and celebration in Washington DC saying on Wednesday 7th Of June 2006 Zarqawi was killed &lt;strong&gt;instantly&lt;/strong&gt; by two 227 kg bombs launched from F-16, one laser-guided and one GPS-guided, at Zarqawi's hiding place. Then there was Ali Abbas an eyewitness who said he saw Zarqawi alive and was evacuated from rubbles by locals. Then on Sunday June 11th, 2006 , the top US commander in Iraq, General George Casey, said al-Zarqawi died when US soldiers were trying to save his life &lt;strong&gt;on the way to hospital&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hold on, is he reallly killed ? We are constantly force fed with the Iraq war news that originated from one source, that is US Army or CIA. So I take every news and story about the war on terror with the grain of salt. Some people even don’t believe everything said by the worst liar regime in the history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all it is not clear who Zarqawi is. Is he really ever exist and alive. Washington linked Alzarqawi with many deadliest attacks in Iraq and he is told to be a branch of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. He is the mastermind of a string of spectacular bombings in Iraq. But despite Washington allegations, little is known about this guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then came the news that Zarqawi is dead . Note that Zarqawi has before been pronounced dead in March 2004 &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4446084"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;(MSNBC)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. He was in Sulaimaniya when the bomb blasted and hit him. He was reported failed to escape because of his wooden leg. And then, because Bush need Zarqawi so that he has the reason to stay in Iraq, he has probably asked Jesus Christ to resurrect him. And Hallelujah ...... Jesus answered his prayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zarqawi may have been created by CIA's deception machine to justify prolonged US occupation in Iraq. Abdel Bari Al Atwan, Al-Sharq Al Awsat correspondence based in London told &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Aljazeera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;"There is no real proof that he is alive. If he is supposedly moving around freely in Iraq, why haven't Iraqis spoken about him? He can't be that difficult to recognize with his wooden leg."&lt;/em&gt; He said :“ &lt;em&gt;Al-Zarqawi has become ... the perfect bogeyman... He is a foreigner, so it is the perfect way for the Americans to discredit the resistance and say these attacks are not coming from the Iraqi people".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Rogers of Bradford University, UK said Zarqawi “ &lt;em&gt;probably a pretty significant figure but he is being made into this Osama bin Laden-type symbol, which seems to be a natural thing for the Americans to do. It seems they like to focus on personalities,".&lt;/em&gt; And if the Americans capture Zarqawi dead or alive, they can claim a great victory and say the degrading Bush regime have finally successfully knocked off the mastermind of the organisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let us swallow the news as it is, that Zarqawi exist and bombed. According to an article in the &lt;a title="On the eve of the destruction of Fallujah,  11/1/04" href="http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2004/11/01/on-the-eve-of-the-destruction-of-fallujah/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Anti-War Blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; these bombs have "&lt;em&gt;a blast radius of 400 meters; every single bomb shakes the whole neighborhood, breaking windows and smashing crockery."&lt;/em&gt; And according to Col Daniel Smith in &lt;a title="FPIF, 5/16/06" href="http://www.fpif.org/fpiftxt/3269" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Bombs Away! or Bomb Any Way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;:"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Today's bomb of choice for urban combat support is a satellite-guided 500-pound bomb, soon to be a 250-pound weapon. These bombs work--that is, kill--by the tried and true methods of blasting and spraying shrapnel 360 degrees."&lt;/em&gt; But "amazingly" they found Zargawi’s body intact , clean as if he just been groomed in a beauty saloon, so they can show to the imbedded press Zargawi's clear picture with eyes closed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All right, let us just assume Zarqawi is exist and that he is a bad guy and now is dead. Zargawi’s death is good for Iraq because he killed Iraqi’s more than he killed American&lt;br /&gt;troops. What Iraq need is bolder type of insurgents with bigger appetite to kill American troops and it's coalitions batch by batch by road side bombs or anything that will bring them home as the loosers. And that will be recorded in history as the dark age of America so that future generation learn a bitter lesson.  And the next thing I hope is the death of neck tied terrorist in Washington DC, that is Bush, Rusmfeld and their gangs including - but not limited to - Wolvowitz . Because these terrorist have killed Iraqis and Afghanis more than what Zarqawi did.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-115012130292406302?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/115012130292406302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=115012130292406302' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115012130292406302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/115012130292406302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/06/zarqawi-is-dead.html' title='Zarqawi Is Dead ?'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114986426735820537</id><published>2006-06-09T20:59:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:32.005+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ahmadinejad Talk To Der Spiegel</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;Ahmadinejad made his point clear during an interview with Der Spiegel.

But if you are too busy to do so, I copied the interview in full:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Mr. President, you are a soccer fan and you like to play soccer. Will you be sitting in the stadium in Nuremberg on June 11, when the Iranian national team plays against Mexico in Germany?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: It depends. Naturally, I'll be watching the game in any case. I don't know yet whether I'll be at home in front of the television set or somewhere else. My decision depends upon a number of things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: For example?&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: How much time I have, how the state of various relationships are going, whether I feel like it and a number of other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: There was great indignation in Germany when it became known that you might be coming to the soccer world championship. Did that surprise you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: No, that's not important. I didn't even understand how that came about. It also had no meaning for me. I don't know what all the excitement is about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: It concerned your remarks about the Holocaust. It was inevitable that the Iranian president's denial of the systematic murder of the Jews by the Germans would trigger outrage.&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: I don't exactly understand the connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: First you make your remarks about the Holocaust. Then comes the news that you may travel to Germany -- this causes an uproar. So you were surprised after all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: No, not at all, because the network of Zionism is very active around the world, in Europe too. So I wasn't surprised. We were addressing the German people. We have nothing to do with Zionists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Denying the Holocaust is punishable in Germany. Are you indifferent when confronted with so much outrage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: I know that DER SPIEGEL is a respected magazine. But I don't know whether it is possible for you to publish the truth about the Holocaust. Are you permitted to write everything about it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Of course we are entitled to write about the findings of the past 60 years' historical research. In our view there is no doubt that the Germans -- unfortunately -- bear the guilt for the murder of 6 million Jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Well, then we have stirred up a very concrete discussion. We are posing two very clear questions. The first is: Did the Holocaust actually take place? You answer this question in the affirmative. So, the second question is: Whose fault was it? The answer to that has to be found in Europe and not in Palestine. It is perfectly clear: If the Holocaust took place in Europe, one also has to find the answer to it in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, if the Holocaust didn't take place, why then did this regime of occupation ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: ... You mean the state of Israel...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: ... come about? Why do the European countries commit themselves to defending this regime? Permit me to make one more point. We are of the opinion that, if an historical occurrence conforms to the truth, this truth will be revealed all the more clearly if there is more research into it and more discussion about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: That has long since happened in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: We don't want to confirm or deny the Holocaust. We oppose every type of crime against any people. But we want to know whether this crime actually took place or not. If it did, then those who bear the responsibility for it have to be punished, and not the Palestinians. Why isn't research into a deed that occurred 60 years ago permitted? After all, other historical occurrences, some of which lie several thousand years in the past, are open to research, and even the governments support this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Mr. President, with all due respect, the Holocaust occurred, there were concentration camps, there are dossiers on the extermination of the Jews, there has been a great deal of research, and there is neither the slightest doubt about the Holocaust nor about the fact - we greatly regret this - that the Germans are responsible for it. If we may now add one remark: the fate of the Palestinians is an entirely different issue, and this brings us into the present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: No, no, the roots of the Palestinian conflict must be sought in history. The Holocaust and Palestine are directly connected with one another. And if the Holocaust actually occurred, then you should permit impartial groups from the whole world to research this. Why do you restrict the research to a certain group? Of course, I don't mean you, but rather the European governments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Are you still saying that the Holocaust is just "a myth?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: I will only accept something as truth if I am actually convinced of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Even though no Western scholars harbor any doubt about the Holocaust?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: But there are two opinions on this in Europe. One group of scholars or persons, most of them politically motivated, say the Holocaust occurred. Then there is the group of scholars who represent the opposite position and have therefore been imprisoned for the most part. Hence, an impartial group has to come together to investigate and to render an opinion on this very important subject, because the clarification of this issue will contribute to the solution of global problems. Under the pretext of the Holocaust, a very strong polarization has taken place in the world and fronts have been formed. It would therefore be very good if an international and impartial group looked into the matter in order to clarify it once and for all. Normally, governments promote and support the work of researchers on historical events and do not put them in prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Who is that supposed to be? Which researchers do you mean?&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: You would know this better than I; you have the list. There are people from England, from Germany, France and from Australia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: You presumably mean, for example, the Englishman David Irving, the German-Canadian Ernst Zündel, who is on trial in Mannheim, and the Frenchman Georges Theil, all of whom deny the Holocaust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: The mere fact that my comments have caused such strong protests, although I'm not a European, and also the fact that I have been compared with certain persons in German history indicates how charged with conflict the atmosphere for research is in your country. Here in Iran you needn't worry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Well, we are conducting this historical debate with you for a very timely purpose. Are you questioning Israel's right to exist?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Look here, my views are quite clear. We are saying that if the Holocaust occurred, then Europe must draw the consequences and that it is not Palestine that should pay the price for it. If it did not occur, then the Jews have to go back to where they came from. I believe that the German people today are also prisoners of the Holocaust. Sixty million people died in the Second World War. World War II was a gigantic crime. We condemn it all. We are against bloodshed, regardless of whether a crime was committed against a Muslim or against a Christian or a Jew. But the question is: Why among these 60 million victims are only the Jews the center of attention?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: That's just not the case. All peoples mourn the victims claimed by the Second World War, Germans and Russians and Poles and others as well. Yet, we as Germans cannot absolve ourselves of a special guilt, namely for the systematic murder of the Jews. But perhaps we should now move on to the next subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: No, I have a question for you. What kind of a role did today's youth play in World War II?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: None.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Why should they have feelings of guilt toward Zionists? Why should the costs of the Zionists be paid out of their pockets? If people committed crimes in the past, then they would have to have been tried 60 years ago. End of story! Why must the German people be humiliated today because a group of people committed crimes in the name of the Germans during the course of history?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: The German people today can't do anything about it. But there is a sort of collective shame for those deeds done in the German name by our fathers or grandfathers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: How can a person who wasn't even alive at the time be held legally responsible?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Not legally but morally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Why is such a burden heaped on the German people? The German people of today bear no guilt. Why are the German people not permitted the right to defend themselves? Why are the crimes of one group emphasized so greatly, instead of highlighting the great German cultural heritage? Why should the Germans not have the right to express their opinion freely?&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Mr. President, we are well aware that German history is not made up of only the 12 years of the Third Reich. Nevertheless, we have to accept that horrible crimes have been committed in the German name. We also own up to this, and it is a great achievement of the Germans in post-war history that they have grappled critically with their past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Are you also prepared to tell that to the German people?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Oh yes, we do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Then would you also permit an impartial group to ask the German people whether it shares your opinion? No people accepts its own humiliation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: All questions are allowed in our country. But of course there are right-wing radicals in Germany who are not only anti-Semitic, but xenophobic as well, and we do indeed consider them a threat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Let me ask you one thing: How much longer can this go on? How much longer do you think the German people have to accept being taken hostage by the Zionists? When will that end - in 20, 50, 1,000 years?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: We can only speak for ourselves. DER SPIEGEL is nobody's hostage; SPIEGEL does not deal only with Germany's past and the Germans' crimes. We're not Israel's uncritical ally in the Palestian conflict. But we want to make one thing very clear: We are critical, we are independent, but we won't simply stand by without protest when the existential right of the state of Israel, where many Holocaust survivors live, is being questioned.&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Precisely that is our point. Why should you feel obliged to the Zionists? If there really had been a Holocaust, Israel ought to be located in Europe, not in Palestine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Do you want to resettle a whole people 60 years after the end of the war?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Five million Palestinians have not had a home for 60 years. It is amazing really: You have been paying reparations for the Holocaust for 60 years and will have to keep paying up for another 100 years. Why then is the fate of the Palestinians no issue here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: The Europeans support the Palestinians in many ways. After all, we also have an historic responsibility to help bring peace to this region finally. But don't you share that responsibility?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Yes, but aggression, occupation and a repetition of the Holocaust won't bring peace. What we want is a sustainable peace. This means that we have to tackle the root of the problem. I am pleased to note that you are honest people and admit that you are obliged to support the Zionists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: That's not what we said, Mr. President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: You said Israelis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Mr. President, we're talking about the Holocaust because we want to talk about the possible nuclear armament of Iran -- which is why the West sees you as a threat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Some groups in the West enjoy calling things or people a threat. Of course you're free to make your own judgment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: The key question is: Do you want nuclear weapons for your country?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Allow me to encourage a discussion on the following question: How long do you think the world can be governed by the rhetoric of a handful of Western powers? Whenever they hold something against someone, they start spreading propaganda and lies, defamation and blackmail. How much longer can that go on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: We're here to find out the truth. The head of state of a neighboring country, for example, told SPIEGEL: "They are very keen on building the bomb." Is that true?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: You see, we conduct our discussions with you and the European governments on an entirely different, higher level. In our view, the legal system whereby a handful of countries force their will on the rest of the world is discriminatory and unstable. One-hundred and thirty-nine countries, including us, are members of the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) in Vienna. Both the statutes of IAEA and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as well as all security agreements grant the member countries the right to produce nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes. That is the legitimate legal right of any people. Beyond this, however, IAEA was also established to promote the disarmament of those powers that already possessed nuclear weapons. And now look at what's happening today: Iran has had an excellent cooperation with IAEA. We have had more than 2,000 inspections of our plants, and the inspectors have obtained more than 1,000 pages of documentation from us. Their cameras are installed in our nuclear centers. IAEA has emphasized in all its reports that there are no indications of any irregularities in Iran. That is one side of this matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: IAEA doesn't quite share your view of this matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: But the other side is that there are a number of countries that possess both nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. They use their atomic weapons to threaten other peoples. And it is these powers who say that they are worried about Iran deviating from the path of peaceful use of atomic energy. We say that these powers are free to monitor us if they are worried. But what these powers say is that the Iranians must not complete the nuclear fuel cycle because deviation from peaceful use might then be possible. What we say is that these countries themselves have long deviated from peaceful usage. These powers have no right to talk to us in this manner. This order is unjust and unsustainable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: But, Mr. President, the key question is: How dangerous will this world become if even more countries become nuclear powers -- if a country like Iran, whose president makes threats, builds the bomb in a crisis-ridden region?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: We're fundamentally opposed to the expansion of nuclear-weapons arsenals. This is why we have proposed the formation of an unbiased organization and the disarmament of the nuclear powers. We don't need any weapons. We're a civilized, cultured people, and our history shows that we have never attacked another country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Iran doesn't need the bomb that it wants to build?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: It's interesting to note that European nations wanted to allow the shah's dictatorship the use of nuclear technology. That was a dangerous regime. Yet those nations were willing to supply it with nuclear technology. Ever since the Islamic Republic has existed, however, these powers have been opposed to it. I stress once again, we don't need any nuclear weapons.&lt;br /&gt;We stand by our statements because we're honest and act legally. We're no fraudsters. We only want to claim our legitimate right. Incidentally, I never threatened anyone - that, too, is part of the propaganda machine that you've got running against me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: If this were so, shouldn't you be making an effort to ensure that no one need fear your producing nuclear weapons that you might use against Israel, thus possibly unleashing a world war? You're sitting on a tinderbox, Mr. President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Allow me to say two things. No people in the region are afraid of us. And no one should instill fear in these peoples. We believe that if the United States and these two or three European countries did not interfere, the peoples in this region would live peacefully together as they did in the thousands of years before. In 1980, it was also the nations of Europe and the United States that encouraged Saddam Hussein to attack us.&lt;br /&gt;Our stance with respect to Palestine is clear. We say: Allow those to whom this country belongs to express their opinion. Let Jews, Christians and Muslims say what they think. The opponents of this proposal prefer war and threaten the region. Why are the United States and these two or three European nations opposed to this? I believe that those who imprison Holocaust researchers prefer war to peace. Our stance is democratic and peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: The Palestinians have long gone a step further than you and recognize Israel as a fact, while you still wish to erase it from the map. The Palestinians are ready to accept a two-state solution while you deny Israel its right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: You're wrong. You saw that the Palestinian people elected Hamas in free elections. We argue that neither you nor we should claim to speak for the Palestian people. The Palestinians themselves should say what they want. In Europe it is customary to call a referendum on any issue. We should also give the Palestinians the opportunity to express their opinion.&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: The Palestinians have the right to their own state, but in our view the Israelis naturally have the same right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Where did the Israelis come from?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Well, if we tried to work out where people have come from, the Europeans would have to return to east Africa where all humans originated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: We're not talking about the Europeans; we're talking about the Palestinians. The Palestinians were there, in Palestine. Now 5 million of them have become refugees. Don't they have a right to live?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Mr. President, doesn't there come a time when one should accept that the world is the way it is and that we must accept the status quo? The war against Iraq has put Iran in a favorable position. The United States has suffered a de facto defeat in Iraq. Isn't it now time for Iran to become a constructive power of peace in the Middle East? Which would mean giving up its nuclear plans and inflammatory talk?&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: I'm wondering why you're adopting and fanatically defending the stance of the European politicians. You're a magazine, not a government. Saying that we should accept the world as it is would mean that the winners of World War II would remain the victorious powers for another 1,000 years and that the German people would be humiliated for another 1,000 years. Do you think that is the correct logic?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: No, that's not the right logic, nor is it true. The Germans have played a modest, but important role in post-war developments. They do not feel as though they have been humiliated and dishonored since 1945. We are too self-confident for that. But today we want to talk about Iran's current mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: Then we would accept that Palestinians are killed every day, that they die in terrorist attacks, and that houses are being destroyed. But let me say something about Iraq. We have always favored peace and security in the region. For eight years, the Western countries provided arms to Saddam in the war against us, including chemical weapons, and gave him political support. We were against Saddam and suffered severely because of him, so we're happy that he has been toppled. But we don't accept a whole country being swallowed under the pretext of wanting to topple Saddam. More than 100,000 Iraqis have lost their lives under the rule of the occupying forces. Fortunately, the Germans haven't been involved in this. We want security in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: But, Mr. President, who is swallowing Iraq? The United States has practically lost this war. By cooperating constructively, Iran might help the Americans consider their retreat from the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: This is very interesting: The Americans occupy the country, kill people, sell the oil and when they have lost, they blame others. We have very close ties to the Iraqi people. Many people on both sides of the border are related. We have lived side by side for thousands of years. Our holy pilgrimage sites are located in Iraq. Just like Iran, Iraq used to be a center of civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: What are you trying to say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: We have always said that we support the popularly elected government of Iraq. But in my view the Americans are doing a bad job. They have sent us messages several times asking us for help and cooperation. They have said that we should talk together about Iraq. We publicly accepted this offer, although our people do not trust the Americans. But America has responded negatively and insulted us. Even now we're contributing to security in Iraq. We will hold talks only if the Americans change their behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Do you enjoy provoking the Americans and the rest of the world now and then?&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: No, I'm not insulting anyone. The letter that I wrote to Mr. Bush was polite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: We don't mean insult, but provoke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: No, we feel animosity toward no one. We're concerned about the American soldiers who die in Iraq. Why do they have to die there? This war makes no sense. Why is there war when there is reason as well?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: Is your letter to the president also a gesture toward the Americans that you wish to enter into direct negotiations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: We clearly stated our position in this letter on how we view the problems in the world. Some powers have befouled the political atmosphere in the world because they consider lies and fraud to be legitimate. In our view that is very bad. We believe that all people deserve respect. Relationships have to be regulated on the basis of justice. When justice reigns, peace reigns. Unjust conditions aren't sustainable, even if Ahmadinejad does not criticize them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: This letter to the American president includes a passage about Sept. 11, 2001. The quote: "How could such an operation be planned and implemented without the coordination with secret and security services or without the far-reaching infiltration of these services?" Your statements always include so many innuendos. What is that supposed to mean? Did the CIA help Mohammed Atta and the other 18 terrorists conduct their attacks?&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: No, that's not what I meant. We think that they should just say who is to blame. They should not use Sept. 11 as an excuse to launch a military attack against the Middle East. They should take those who are responsible for the attacks to court. We're not opposed to that; we condemned the attacks. We condemn any attack against innocent people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: In this letter you also write that Western liberalism has failed. What makes you say that?&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: You see, for example you have a thousand definitions of the Palestian problem and you offer all sorts of different definitions of democracy in its various forms. It does not make sense that a phenomenon depends on the opinions of many individuals who are free to interpret the phenomenon as they wish. You can't solve the problems of the world that way. We need a new approach. Of course we want the free will of the people to reign, but we need sustainable principles that enjoy universal acceptance - such as justice. Iran and the West agree on this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: What role can Europe play in the resolution of the nuclear conflict, and what do you expect of Germany?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: We have always cultivated good relations with Europe, especially with Germany. Our two peoples like each other. We're eager to deepen this relationship.&lt;br /&gt;Europe has made three mistakes with respect to our people. The first mistake was to support the shah's government. This has left our people disappointed and discontent. However, by offering asylum to Imam Khomeini, France earned a special position that it lost again later. The second mistake was to support Saddam in his war against us. The truth is that our people expected Europe to be on our side, not against us. The third mistake was Europe's stance on the nuclear issue. Europe will be the big loser and will achieve nothing. We don't want to see that happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPIEGEL: What will happen now in the conflict between the West and Iran?&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad: We understand the Americans' logic. They suffered damage as a result of the victory of the Islamic Revolution. But we're puzzled why some European countries are opposed to us. I sent out a message on the nuclear issue, asking why the Europeans were translating the Americans' words for us. After all, they know that our actions are aimed toward peace. By siding with Iran, the Europeans would serve their own and our interests. But they will suffer only damage if they oppose us. For our people is strong and determined.&lt;br /&gt;The Europeans risk losing their position in the Middle East entirely, and they are ruining their reputation in other parts of the world.

This time US hit the concrete wall and like it or not, must take the blow from his Indonesia’s counter part.

Satanist can be a man or people or faith, as long as it behave like Satan, or do what satan told him to do. Iron Maiden, The Church Of Satan or its spin off Dark Pope are certainly Satanist. Whether or not Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson belong to the Satanist group, depending on how you read their sermons. Evangelist believe that they have nothing to do with The Church Of Satan. They may share the same target with Satanist when saying that Muslim must be eliminated. From Muslim point of view, they are living Satan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Satan blows their revelation to mankind, and people like Bush are not aware when he said that his Jesus tell him to save the world by bombing Afghanistan and Iraq. Actually it was satan who whispered to him to do such a despicable policy. So by definition he is a Satanist. Satan is a liar too, don’t you agree?. And look how George Bush is rapidly develop himself to become a big liar, capable of deceiving Americans on almost any matter. American people turn dumb and believe in whatever he said and voted him for the second term. He is such a big chronic liar that probably satan learn a lot from him, on the methodology of lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A book entitled &lt;em&gt;"Is George Bush The Antichrist?"&lt;/em&gt; was published in 2004 in the US. The answer was yes, showing all kinds of ways of doing the maths to get the president to equal 666. Ronald Wilson Reagan was also a popular contender for a while - just count the letters. He even retired to 666 St Cloud Road, Bel Air - although he took the precaution of changing the number to 668 first. And since God loves Rony , He won’t wait to bless him with Alzheimer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well to say the least, today’s America is ruled by a bunch of Satanist. Look how satan in disguise as American troops cold bloodedly murdered a family in Haditha, and killed pregnant woman in Baghdad or randomly shoot a crowd in Afghanistan. These murderous regime collaborate with satan when they outsource tortures to third party satans in East Europe. And of course the famous satan center called Guantanamo Camp, where detainee are tortured physically and psychologically beyond human imagination. Yes, satan’s imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 271px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="318" alt="" src="http://www.bushflash.com/jpg/u_05.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114960704354521390?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114960704354521390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114960704354521390' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114960704354521390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114960704354521390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/06/bush-day-060606.html' title='Bush Day 06/06/06'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114926228210732950</id><published>2006-06-02T22:21:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:31.829+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Good Reading</title><content type='html'>I read an interesting article in Saturday May 26th 2006 edition of TEMPO daily newspaper, written by &lt;a href="http://www.project-syndicate.org/contributor/876"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Philip E. Tetlock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a UC Berkeley Professor who is skeptical about credibility of intellectuals views published in the (western mainstream) media. In his words, media is more interested in catering to “popular prejudice” and for that purpose, media dictated what they want their readers to hear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tetlock’s is fuzzy article on a blatant fact of Israeli occupied territory that is , the western mainstream media. The article is carefully constructed in such a way, that it won’t kick the Jewish arse . Tetlock has probably avoid severe “punishment” suffered by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mearsheimer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;John Mearsheimer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Walt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Stephen M.Walt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; whose paper &lt;em&gt;The Israel Lobby And The US Foreign Policy&lt;/em&gt; drives Jewish lobby mad. Nevertheless, the article is worth to read ,and here is a few first paragraphs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Every day, experts bombard us with their views on topics as varied as Iraqi insurgents, Bolivian coca growers, European central bankers, and North Korea’s Politburo. But how much credibility should we attach to the opinions of experts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sanguine view is that as long as those selling expertise compete vigorously for the attention of discriminating buyers (the mass media), market mechanisms will assure quality control. Pundits who make it into newspaper opinion pages or onto television and radio must have good track records; otherwise, they would have been weeded out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skeptics, however, warn that the mass media dictate the voices we hear and are less interested in reasoned debate than in catering to popular prejudices. As a result, fame could be negatively, not positively, correlated with long-run accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until recently, no one knew who is right, because no one was keeping score. But the results of a 20-year research project now suggest that the skeptics are closer to the truth&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/tetlock1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Read On&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114926228210732950?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114926228210732950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114926228210732950' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114926228210732950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114926228210732950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/06/good-reading.html' title='Good Reading'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114761014854517402</id><published>2006-05-14T19:21:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:31.197+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Random Notes Part 3</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/Ahmadinejad110.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/Ahmadinejad110.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Man With The Balls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mahmud Ahmadinejad probably surprised to find that beyond his expectation, he has millions of fans in Indonesia cheering at him wherever he go. Indonesia with approximately 200 millions Muslim, the largest in the world, is longing for a leader like him . He is clean, honest, intelligent , yet humble and has the balls to give Bush ,his murderous regime and Israel a big “f*** you”. Why the hell would Iran bow to the world injustice to stop uranium enrichment for peaceful purpose, while other villain states stockpiling it to make nuclear weapons to kill human being so that they can get cheap oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad says the truth out loud. I can see the point that Ahmadinejad made when he said that Israel should be wiped off of the map. The racist Europe hate Jews and don’t want to have Jews around. They don’t want the burden to accommodate Jews , so they create Israel in Palestine , and let Palestinian pay the price for what European did to Jews. This is absolutely unacceptable. All Jews must return to their homeland in Europe, so this is what he mean by wiping off Israel of the map. Isn’t it fair enough ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahamadinejad is labeled, fundamentalist, radical, and hardliner. Yes, it takes a radical, and fundamentalist like Ahmadinejad to bring justice to the world. Listen to what he said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Today, global arrogance is opening a new front against Iran. It strives to deprive the Iranian nation of its legal rights by mobilizing all its political, economic and military potentials. But arrogant powers with their hegemonic aspirations should know that they will never achieve their goals during the lifetime of the brave nation and youth of Islamic Iran,"&lt;/em&gt; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He blasted those whose nuclear arsenals are burgeoning with nuclear weapons and who have repeatedly used against different nations but now speak of human rights to justify their campaign to deprive Iran of access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Access to peaceful nuclear technology is the Iranian nation's right. Iranian youth have managed to come up with this home-grown technology through sheer effort and will not let enemies and global arrogance to deprive them of this right. Enemies should know their hold on destructive weapons will have no impact on the firm will of the Iranian nation and their decision,"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;God Or Lucifer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You hardly heard about Christian terrorist, not because there is no such terrorist, but western deception machines like to associate terror with Muslim. Irish terrorist are labeled violent or radicals. When Fabianus Tibo and his terrorist gang massacred Moslem in Poso Central Sulawesi, they are merely killers. Pope Benedict XVI ,through his envoy sent to Poso said that he wanted to share the men's pain and to express his solidarity for the legal injustice suffered by the three during their trial, according to &lt;a href="http://www.asianews.it/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;AsiaNews.it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. an Islamophobic Vatican based news portal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/Paus%20Setan.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Smiling Horn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;So, if catholic kills Muslim, and for doing so they are brought to justice , our dear Pope will regard these terrorist suffered injustice. This is the same Pope who bluntly oppose Turkey to join the EU, because as he said “&lt;em&gt; Turkey doesn’t belong to European culture”&lt;/em&gt; . He was too shy to say , Europe is Christian, and so Turkey must convert to Christianity if they want to join EU, right Pope? I am confused, is this guy a God’s representative on earth or Lucifer’s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tibo and his two carabinieri Dominggus Da Silva and Marinus Riwu has both good news and bad news. The good news is unlike Amrozi or Imam Samudra, their first name ended with”us”, so that they are blessed by Pope Benedict who gave them crosses and rosaries. This Pope guy love his Poso shepherds , believing that he will be saint after his death, he can mess around with Indonesian justice system by appealing clemency for the condemned terrorist. The bad news is, Supreme Court rejected their 2nd Judicial Review, meaning that the miserable terrorist are bound to die.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114761014854517402?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114761014854517402/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114761014854517402' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114761014854517402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114761014854517402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/05/random-notes-part-3.html' title='Random Notes Part 3'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114709299462864556</id><published>2006-05-08T19:17:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:31.136+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Death Made In America</title><content type='html'>What do America and Israel have in common. Nothing. All I know , Senate and Capitol Hill is one of Israel occupied territories. Every senator and congressman knows that criticizing the Israeli government is political suicide. If the Israeli government wanted a law tomorrow annulling the Ten Commandments, 95 U.S. senators would sign the bill without hesitation .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, what do Bush and Ariel Sharon have in common. They are both cold blooded killers. Sharon is the butcher of Shabra and Shatilla where innocent Palestinian refugees were killed indiscriminately. Bush is the Butcher Of Baghdad as we all know, responsible of killing some 35,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, women and children. Recently &lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Jerusalem Post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;quoted Bush as saying that his thoughts and prayers were with former prime minister Ariel Sharon, whom he called "a man of courage, and a man of peace." He further said :&lt;em&gt;"America's commitment to Israel's security is strong, enduring and unshakable"&lt;/em&gt;, and nobody can stop America, Bush and Israel to stop the killing. Death is today's America business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pictures that you are about to see is a sample of how America's killing machine bring human tragedy beyond Hollywood wildest sadistic imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://images.indymedia.org/imc/twincities/image/5/07%20Iraqi%20in%20mourning.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Said Mourn his younger brother Sa'ad killed by US Soldier during raid in Northern Baghdad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.awitness.org/bloody/destroyed_town.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;The whole town of Falujah turn to rubble, with thousands of dead bodies scattered&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/07/14/pt_iraq_1507_ent-lead__200x252.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Samirah 3 years old in critical conditions after being hit by hand grenades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.aeronautics.ru/img/img006/coalition_bombing_victims_00014.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Ahmad Hasseini  treated in a makeshift hospital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.geocities.com/kabuli.geo/iraq.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;No Comment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114709299462864556?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114709299462864556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114709299462864556' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114709299462864556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114709299462864556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/05/death-made-in-america.html' title='Death Made In America'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114476488798605848</id><published>2006-04-11T20:48:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:31.076+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Paul Simon See America Changes Its Tune</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/Paul_Simon_cartoon.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/Paul_Simon_cartoon.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The great musician and composer &lt;a href="http://www.paulsimon.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;Paul Simon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;back on track and about to launch their new Album &lt;em&gt;SURPRISE&lt;/em&gt; in the coming 8th of May. I was in Chicago the day before his &lt;em&gt;You’re The One&lt;/em&gt; concert was held during Thanksgiving 2000 but too bad I missed the concert cause I couldn’t rescheduled my flight back to Jakarta. Paul is as always, a peace loving singer. Now is the lowest point in American history. The great America that used to be the champion of democracy, the fore front in promoting basic human rights, a country that respect civil rights has changed and moving to fascism. Legalizing torture in its detention centres, keeping terrorist suspects in Guantanamo concentration camp , spying their citizens, and American living in false paranoia . I bet that drives Paul Simon to write &lt;em&gt;War Time Prayers&lt;/em&gt; in the upcoming album :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;All that is changed now&lt;br /&gt;Gone like a memory from the day before fires&lt;br /&gt;people hungry for the voice of God&lt;br /&gt;hear lunatics and liars,&lt;br /&gt;Wartime prayers in every language spoken&lt;br /&gt;for every family scattered and broken &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;This is certainly a softer allusions to Bush and his scumbag administration, compared to &lt;em&gt;Green Day's American Idiot&lt;/em&gt;. Paul Simon has always been sensitive to social injustice. In 1997 he launched &lt;em&gt;CAPEMAN &lt;/em&gt;,a kind of protest to racial prejudice against Hispanic immigrants. Listen to what he said in &lt;em&gt;Trailway Bus&lt;/em&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The border patrol outside Tucson boarded the bus&lt;br /&gt;Any aliens here, you’d better check with us&lt;br /&gt;How about you son&lt;br /&gt;You look like you got spanish blood&lt;br /&gt;Do you habla ingles, am I understood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I am an alien from mars&lt;br /&gt;I came here from outer space&lt;br /&gt;And if I traveled my whole life&lt;br /&gt;You guys would still be on my case&lt;br /&gt;You guys would still be on my case &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Three decades ago in 1973 Paul Simon sang &lt;em&gt;American Tune&lt;/em&gt; , another social commentary. without knowing that someday ,today, America changes its tune :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And I dreamed I was dying&lt;br /&gt;I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly&lt;br /&gt;And looking back down at me&lt;br /&gt;Smiled reassuringly&lt;br /&gt;And I dreamed I was flying&lt;br /&gt;And high up above my eyes could clearly see&lt;br /&gt;The Statue of Liberty&lt;br /&gt;Sailing away to sea&lt;br /&gt;And I dreamed I was flying&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We come on the ship they call the Mayflower&lt;br /&gt;We come on the ship that sailed the moon&lt;br /&gt;We come in the age's most uncertain hours&lt;br /&gt;and sing an American tune&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright&lt;br /&gt;You can't be forever blessed&lt;br /&gt;Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day&lt;br /&gt;And I'm trying to get some rest&lt;br /&gt;That's all I'm trying to get some rest&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simon never fade away, his first debut &lt;em&gt;Sound Of Silence&lt;/em&gt; was in 1966, 20 years later in 1986 he made another debut Graceland that won Grammy Award and another 20 years later , now in 2006 he is still brilliant with SURPRISE. He is 64 going 65 years old today. He must be doing something in 20 years from now when he is 85 years old.

Yes, we are in a state of mass deception .We have been deeply brainwashed by the mainstream media of the world, so what do you expect. I badly need an alternative angle with different state of mind. Then I came across an interview transcript of Bob Simon, a correspondent of &lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CBS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 60 Minutes who met Abu Jandal, a former Bin Laden’s closest bodyguard now living in Yemen. Abu Jandal is a man of dignity, a brave man who risk his life for what he believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Jandal was the name by which he was known in al Qaeda. He is 33 years old and was with bin Laden in Afghanistan for four years, from 1996 to 2000. He did not speak to 60 Minutes to confess the errors of his ways. Abu Jandal is not a reformed terrorist. He believes today, as he did a decade ago, that al Qaeda is the way and Osama bin Laden is the man.&lt;br /&gt;When he worked for bin Laden, Abu Jandal tells Simon he was often just a meter or a meter and a half away from the leader. And he was carrying two guns.&lt;br /&gt;"I had my own gun, but there was also a special gun to be used if Sheikh Osama bin Laden was attacked and we were unable to save him, in which case I would have to kill him," Abu Jandal explains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to how Abu Jandal thinks about 9/11 when Simon asked him: “What’s your reaction when you see pictures on 9/11, when you see the video of the Twin Towers and the people falling out of the windows and people dying and shouting out in pain?" Simon asks Abu Jandal.&lt;br /&gt;"I compare it to the images from the bombing of a shelter in Baghdad, to the killings of Muslims in Iraq by air strikes," he replies. "It reminds me of the pictures of those missiles fired on the Iraqi people with 'Happy Ramadan' written on them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have an empathy to the devastated Iraq, and 35,000 innocent lives assassinated by US killing machines, &lt;a href="http://freeyemen.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;read more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114450795148089175?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114450795148089175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114450795148089175' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114450795148089175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114450795148089175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/04/abu-jandal.html' title='Abu Jandal'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114424868935682250</id><published>2006-04-05T21:24:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:30.901+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Random Notes Part Two</title><content type='html'>Mahathir Mohamad said that Jews ruled the world and got others to fight and die for them .The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule the world by proxy. “They get others to fight and die for them," he said. They invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy, so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so that they can enjoy equal rights with others. "With these they have gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/windows/images/markfallPM.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/windows/images/markfallPM.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not surprised when a friend forward an email regarding &lt;a href="http://ksgnotes1.harvard.edu/Research/wpaper.nsf/rwp/RWP06-011/$File/rwp_06_011_walt.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;two US professors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; John Mearsheimer of University of Chicago and Stephen M.Walt of John Kennnedy School Of Government , Harvard University ,become target of harsh criticism by Jewish lobby. The capital sin commited is their papers entitled &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Israel Lobby And The US Foreign Policy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in which they charged that US foreign policy doesn’t serve US interest, but served Jewish interest. As you can guess , the two were given anti semitic label, an attribute that may make the rest of their academic career difficult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing new for me, because it happens all the time when you criticize jews. One of the outrageous critics came from a Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz ,a Zionist watch dog in Harvard. This is not the first time for Dreshowitz to engage in crusade against academic thesis. He had before attempted to block the publication of Norman Finkelstein’s book &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. What really surprised me , the last resort of intellectual freedom has become the victim of jewish tyrannical power. You can criticize God, but never attempt to say negative about jews. This further prove Mahathir’s thesis about the mighty power of jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now come the lighter part of my post. I always believe in using decent words as much as I believe that &lt;em&gt;Dirt Is In The Brain Of The Beholder&lt;/em&gt;. So I can’t help telling following story to you. My room mate has a good sense of humor. Too bad he doesn’t want to blog his jokes . One of recent rants he made in relation with Tony Blair visit is the way he called Tony Blair by a little bit wrestling his tongue to pronounce Tony Plair. For those with poor bahasa vocabulary, may I give a chestnote that plair is “ bag containing a pair of two round flesh that every normal male carry wherever they go”. He has the reason to change the name because as he said : “In that case, Bush make a perfect dick where plair attached, or shall I say, plair is the right surname since it is surrounded by bush “ .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, while Mr.Blair was in Jakarta, the great liberators as represented by State Secretaries Jack Straw and Condy Rice visited Iraq with a pocketful of complains to Iraq puppet leaders on how messy the situation is. They feel that they are entitled to press Iraq to form a government quickly because they liberated the country at great cost. "The United States and the United Kingdom are the people who liberated this country.American and British force blood has been lost in the cause of liberty.It's very important now that the Iraqis make progress, and I think we are entitled to say that the loss of American and British and coalition lives - and a huge amount of money has been spent here - is itself a reason for the Iraqi leaders to make swift progress”.&lt;br /&gt;The logic that they are trying to sell is , the chaos and daily massacre in Iraq are the product of incapable Iraqi leaders. They want to wash their hand clean and put the blame to their puppets. Noam Chomsky analogize to the German general staff after Stalingrad: “ it’s not working; it’s costing too much; we made a mistake, we should get a different general; That’s the most shameful way to escape from their irreversible mistakes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My room mate told me this morning that last night he had a bad dream watching CNN breaking news, Tony and Dubya were held hostage by Iraqi insurgent . Bad dream or good dream, I couldn't care less, I need reality show...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/specials/images/027_g8_protest/403050_bush_blair_mask.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 156px" height="194" alt="" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/specials/images/027_g8_protest/403050_bush_blair_mask.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.indymedia.org/images/2005/06/117150.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114424868935682250?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114424868935682250/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114424868935682250' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114424868935682250'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114424868935682250'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/04/random-notes-part-two.html' title='Random Notes Part Two'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114310549052071500</id><published>2006-03-23T15:22:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:30.760+07:00</updated><title type='text'>AP Erases Video Of Israeli Soldier Shoot A Palestinian Boy</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Asssociated Press ,the "respectable" news agency is apparently no more than Zionist mouthpiece. It plays the usual game of cover up, manipulation and deception in favour of Israel. The following news as reported by Alison Weir tell all. Alison Weir is Executive Director of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ifamericansknew.org/index.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;If Americans Knew&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;, which is currently conducting a statistical analysis of AP's coverage of Israel-Palestine, to be released within a few months. The organization has created &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ifamericansknew.org/media/clues.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;cards that describe AP actions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt; for people to disseminate in their communities&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the midst of journalism’s “Sunshine Week” – during which the Associated Press and other news organizations are valiantly proclaiming the public’s “right to know” – AP insists on conducting its own activities in the dark, and refuses to answer even the simplest questions about its system of international news reporting. Footage of this boy being intentionally shot by an Israeli soldier was erased by the Associated Press.Most of all, it refuses to explain why it erased footage of an Israeli soldier intentionally shooting a Palestinian boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ifamericansknew.org/images/palestinian-boy-lg.gif" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AP, according to its website, is the world’s oldest and largest news organization. It is the behemoth of news reporting, providing what its editors determine is the news to a billion people each day. Through its feeds to thousands of newspapers, radio and television stations, AP is a major determinant in what Americans read, hear and see – and what they don’t. What they don’t is profoundly important. I investigated one such omission when I was in the Palestinian Territories last year working on a documentary with my colleague (and daughter), who was filming our interviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Oct. 17, 2004 Israeli military forces invaded Balata, a dense, poverty-stricken community deep in Palestine’s West Bank (Israel frequently invades this area and others). According to witnesses, the vehicles stayed for about twenty minutes, the military asserting its power over the Palestinian population. The witnesses state that there was no Palestinian resistance – no “clash,” no “crossfire,” not even any stone-throwing. At one point, after most of the vehicles had finally driven away, an Israeli soldier stuck his gun out of his armored vehicle, aimed at a pre-pubescent boy nearby, and pulled the trigger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to the hospital and interviewed the boy, Ahmad, his doctors, family, and others. Ahmad had bandages around his lower abdomen, where surgeons had operated on his bladder. He said he was afraid of Israeli soldiers, and pulled up his pants leg to show where he had been shot previously.&lt;br /&gt;In the hospital there was a second boy, this one with a shattered femur; and a third boy, this one in critical condition with a bullet hole in his lung. A fourth boy, not a patient, was visiting a friend. He showed us a scarred lip and missing teeth from when Israeli soldiers had shot him in the mouth.&lt;br /&gt;This was not an unusual situation. When I had visited Palestinian hospitals on a previous trip, I had seen many such victims; some with worse injuries. Yet, very few Americans know this is going on. AP’s actions in regard to Ahmad’s shooting may explain why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We discovered that an AP cameraman had filmed the entire incident. This cameraman had then followed what apparently is the usual routine. He sent his video – an extremely valuable commodity, since it contained documentary evidence of a war crime – to the AP control bureau for the region. This bureau is in Israel.&lt;br /&gt;What happened next is unfathomable. Did AP broadcast it? No. Did AP place the video in safe-keeping, available for an investigation of this crime? No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;According to its cameraman, AP erased it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were astounded. We traveled to AP’s control bureau in Israel. With our own video camera out and running, we asked bureau chief Steve Gutkin about this incident. Was the information we had been told correct, or did he have a different version? Did the bureau have the video, or had they indeed erased it. If so, why?&lt;br /&gt;Gutkin, repeatedly looking at the camera and visibly flustered, told us that AP did not allow its journalists to give interviews. He told us that all questions must go to Corporate Communications, located in New York. He explained that they were on deadline and couldn’t talk. I said I understood deadline pressure, and sat down to wait until they were done. When he called Israeli police to arrest us, we left.&lt;br /&gt;Back in the US later, I phoned Corporate Communications and reached Director of Media Relations Jack Stokes, AP’s public relations spokesman. I had conversed with Stokes before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the past several years I have noticed disturbing flaws in AP coverage of Israel-Palestine: newsworthy stories not being covered, reports sent to international newspapers but not to American ones, stories omitting or misreporting significant facts, critical sentences being removed from updated reports.&lt;br /&gt;I would phone AP with the appropriate correction or news alert. One time this resulted in a flawed news story being slightly corrected in updates. In a few cases stories were then covered that had been neglected. In many cases, however, I was told that I needed to speak to Corporate Communications. I would phone Corporate Communications, leave a message, and wait for a response. Most often, none came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several times, however, I was able to have long conversations with AP spokesman Stokes. None of these conversations, however, ever ended with AP taking any action. Some typical responses:&lt;br /&gt;The omitted story was “not newsworthy.”&lt;br /&gt;The story deemed by AP editors to be newsworthy to the rest of the world – e.g. Israel’s brutal imprisonment of over 300 Palestinian youths – was not newsworthy in the US (Israel’s major ally).&lt;br /&gt;Burying a report of Israeli forces shooting a four-year-old Palestinian girl in the mouth was justified.&lt;br /&gt;Misreporting an incident in which an Israeli officer riddled a 13-year-old girl at close range with bullets was unimportant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite this unresponsive pattern, when I learned firsthand of an AP bureau erasing footage of an atrocity, I again phoned Corporate Communications. I no longer had much expectation that AP would take any corrective action, but I did expect to receive some information. I gave spokesperson Stokes the numerous details about this incident that we had gathered on the scene and asked him the same questions I had asked Gutkin. He said he would look into this and get back to me.&lt;br /&gt;After several days he had not gotten back to me, so I again phoned him. He said that he had looked into this incident, and that AP had determined that this was “an internal matter” and that they would give no response.&lt;br /&gt;While I should have known better, I was again astounded. AP was blatantly violating fundamental journalistic norms of ethical behavior, and clearly felt it had the power to get away with it.&lt;br /&gt;Journalism, according to the Statement of Principles of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, is a “sacred trust.” It is the bulwark of a free society and is so essential to the functioning of a democracy that our forefathers affirmed its primacy in the very first amendment of the Bill of Rights.&lt;br /&gt;According to the Society of Professional Journalists, one of the four major pillars of journalistic ethics is to &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Be Accountable.” According to the SPJ’s Code of Ethics:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Journalists are accountable to their readers, listeners, viewers and each other.&lt;br /&gt;“Journalists should: Clarify and explain news coverage and invite dialogue with the public over journalistic conduct&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Encourage the public to voice grievances against the news media.&lt;br /&gt;Admit mistakes and correct them promptly.&lt;br /&gt;Expose unethical practices of journalists and the news media.&lt;br /&gt;Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others.”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;Finally, this week, on deadline with a chapter about media coverage of Israel-Palestine, I again tried to confirm some of my facts with AP. Certainly, I felt, during “Sunshine Week” AP would respond. As part of the Sunshine campaign, AP’s CEO and President Tom Curley is traveling the country giving speeches on the necessity of transparency and accountability (for government) and emphasizing “the openness that effective democracy requires.”&lt;br /&gt;“The trend toward secrecy,” AP's President has correctly been pointing out, “is the greatest threat to democracy.”&lt;br /&gt;I emailed my questions to AP, talked to Stokes by phone, and again was told he would get back to me. Again, I got back to him. Then, in a surreal exchange, he conveyed AP’s reply: “The official response is we decline to respond.” As I asked question after question, many as simple as a confirmation of the number of bureaus AP has in Israel-Palestine, the response was silence or a repetition of: “The official response is we decline to respond.”&lt;br /&gt;The next day I tried phoning AP’s President Curley directly. I was unable to reach him, since he was on the road giving his Sunshine Week speeches (“Secrecy,” Curley says, “is for losers”), but I left a message for him with an assistant. She said someone would respond.&lt;br /&gt;I am still waiting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is clearly time to go to AP’s superiors. The fact is, AP is a cooperative. It is not owned by Corporate Communications spokespeople or by its CEO or even by its board of directors. It is owned by the thousands of newspapers and broadcast stations around the United States that use AP reports. These newspapers, radio and television stations are the true directors of AP, and bear the responsibility for its coverage.&lt;br /&gt;In the end, it appears, the only way that Americans will receive full, unbiased reporting from AP on Israel-Palestine will be when these member-owners demand such coverage from their employees in the Middle East and in New York. As long as AP’s owners remain too busy or too negligent to ensure the quality and accuracy of their Israel-Palestine coverage, the handful of people within AP who are distorting its news reporting on this tragic, life-and-death, globally destabilizing issue will quite likely continue to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the final analysis, therefore, it is up to us – members of the public – to step in. Everyone who believes that Americans have the right and the need to receive full, undistorted information on all issues, including Israel-Palestine, must take action. We must require our news media to fulfill their profoundly important obligation, and we must ourselves distribute the critical information our media are leaving out.&lt;br /&gt;If we don’t take action, no one else will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114310549052071500?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114310549052071500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114310549052071500' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114310549052071500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114310549052071500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/03/ap-erases-video-of-israeli-soldier.html' title='AP Erases Video Of Israeli Soldier Shoot A Palestinian Boy'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114225950840087212</id><published>2006-03-13T20:56:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:30.636+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Random Notes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/condi2.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/condi2.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/condi2.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;She's making a list, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;She's checking it twice, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;She's gonna find out &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;who's naughty or nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Condi Rice is coming to town!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;She sees you when you're sleeping, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;She knows when you're awake. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;She knows when you've been bad or good, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So be good for goodness sake! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Claiming Virginity In Prostitution Market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is coming to Jakarta tomorrow. But Condi is no santa to me, cause she remind me of Heidi Fleiss, the notorious Hollywood pimp. How does it sounds to you to hear Heidi claiming that she is virgin. That is exactly the same situation when Condi’s US Department Of State publish a Human Rights Reports criticizing countries for violating basic human rights. All right it's politics,but there is a limit to where you can go, this one is an insult to common sense.

Netherland is a country that legalize euthenasia, cannabis, prostitution and gay marriage.

Unbanned Allah</title><content type='html'>You can easily identify Bule Bigots by the way they name themselves in blogosphere. Words related to Islam like Allah or Bismillah are used in the middle of other dirty words. The purpose is none other than defamatory. It was for this reasons that Yahoo! banned the use of the name Allah even if it is included within other letters as reported in the February 20th edition of a Sci-Tech portal&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;The Register&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yahoo! is banning the use of Allah in email names - even if the letters are included within another name. This was uncovered by Register reader Ed Callahan whose mother Linda Callahan was trying to sign up for a Verizon email address. She could not get it to accept her surname.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enquiries to Verizon revealed that a partnership with Yahoo! was to blame. Yahoo! will not accept any identies which include the letters "allah". Nor will Yahoo! accept yahoo, osama or bin laden. But it will accept god, messiah, jesus, jehova, budha, satan and both priest and pedophile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed Callahan wrote : &lt;em&gt;"On one level this is just silliness. But we have a war on terrorism and it's migrating to be a war on Muslims - this just shows the confusion there is between the two and how pervasive this is." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Callahans are still waiting to hear back from Yahoo! A spokesman for Yahoo! UK said&lt;em&gt;: "This sounds like a glitch. But we will get back to Ed and Lindy Callahan with a full answer as soon as possible."&lt;/em&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later they get back as promised:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"We continuously evaluate abuse patterns in registration usernames to help prevent spam, fraud and other inappropriate behavior. A small number of people registered for IDs using specific terms with the sole purpose of promoting hate, and then used those IDs to post content that was harmful or threatening to others, thus violating Yahoo!'s Terms of Service. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"'Allah' was one word being used for these purposes, with instances tied to defamatory language. We took steps to help protect our users by prohibiting use of the term in Yahoo! usernames. We recently re-evaluated the term 'Allah' and users can now register for IDs with this word because it is no longer a significant target for abuse. We regularly evaluate this type of activity and will continue to make adjustments to our registration process to help foster a positive customer experience." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114198088633667575?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114198088633667575/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114198088633667575' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114198088633667575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114198088633667575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/03/yahoo-unbanned-allah.html' title='Yahoo!

First, Paradise Now was nominated in The Best Foreign Film Of The Year category. Then Jon Stewart the witty liberal comedian who like to ridicule neo con, hosted the 78th Academy Award presentation this week. But the winner is Tsotsi, a South African movie. Why, only God and the Oscar panel knows why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you notice the prologue of the academy award, you will find the lead to the answer, that is the politics that runs the show. Paradise Now is about two young west bank Palestinian recruited to blow Tel Aviv. It is not an action packed movie, but a drama that tells suicide bombers from humanity point of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel newspapers &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/682220.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;Haaretz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; tell the politics of the show prior to the presentation of the award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Israel and U.S. Jewish groups have lobbied organizers of next month's Academy Awards not to present a nominated film about Palestinian suicide bombers as coming from "Palestine," an Israeli diplomat said yesterday. "Both the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles and several concerned Jewish groups pointed out that no one, not even the Palestinians themselves, have declared the formal creation of 'Palestine' yet, and thus the label would be inaccurate," the diplomat said.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Although a great number of movie stars are liberals, Hollywood is an industry controlled by zionist Jews. The largest media empire Time-Warner and second largest Disney are owned and controlled by zionist jews. Time Warner CEO Gerald Levin and Disney President-CEO Michael Eisner described as “Jewish control freak” . Remember Disney refused to distribute Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next is Viacom (used to be Paramount ), headed by Sumner Redstone, his Jewish born name was Murray Rothstein. Later Viacom merged with CBS who is headed by Melvin Karmazin, also a jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fox empire including its subsidiary 20th Century Fox owned by Rupert Murdoch a jew down to his balls and ass. (And mind you,Murdoch has 25% share in ANTV a dying local TV channel ). One analyst stated that without Fox, &lt;em&gt;“the Iraq war would have been a much harder to sell to the American people”.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DreamWorks owned by Steven Spielberg, a Jewish director who made Schlinder’s List a film about holocaust that won the Oscar some years back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Columbia pictures owned by Sony is probably an exception. However, the CEO Amy Pascal is a jew and the rest of top executives are jews too. Sony let the jews run the business because &lt;em&gt;“we don’t want to disrupt American corporate culture”. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the next time you want to compete in Academy Award , be sure to consult Rabbi near you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/Rabbi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" height="228" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/Rabbi.jpg" width="155" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/Rabbi.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114191181219809321?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114191181219809321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114191181219809321' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114191181219809321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114191181219809321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/03/consult-rabbi-near-you.html' title='Consult Rabbi Near You'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-114144791321063339</id><published>2006-03-04T11:26:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:30.442+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Free Speech Made In Boo Lay</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/bushit.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/bushit.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US, Europe and their Asian poodle dog -Australia - are the ass(ets) of zionist. For different reasons, they serve zionist interest and work for jewish favor. Europe is living under the shadow of their dark history; they carry the burden of ancestral sin of what they believe they have done to Jews during WW II. US Congress and White House are clearly governed by zionist lobby. Australia is for sure locked in their past, and therefore look up to their ex wardens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider the following story, a disgusting joke of the year. You must have heard the latest zionist show in a former Nazi land, Austria. A British right wing extremist David Irving once boldly denied holocaust and for that reason he was sentenced 3 years jail. So denying holocaust is a felony, mortal sin and therefore against the law. Europe wants to tell you what to believe and what not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/irving.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/irving.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor David The Dickhead, he has done anything he could to escape the sentence, that he swallowed his own shit by pleading guilty and “confessed” that he believe holocaust was actually happened, yet he could not avoid jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohammad once said that the west put holocaust above all, absolutely above God. You can insult Islam because Islam must bow to free speech but you can not deny holocaust because free speech must bow to holocaust myth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following story is another version of free speech made in New York. Two weeks from now,  many peace lovers  will observe the 3 years anniversary of  the brutal assasination of  a beautifull lady . Do you remember Rachel Corrie, a 23 years old American killed by Israel while defending Palestinian homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might not, because it happened in March 16, 2003. It was two days before assault on Baghdad while the world’s attention is in Iraq. She was standing against a moving Caterpillar bulldozer made to demolished Palestinian homes, and there she was crushed to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.texemarrs.com/images/rachel_corrie_memorium.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 278px; CURSOR: hand" height="145" alt="" src="http://www.texemarrs.com/images/rachel_corrie_memorium.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;A playwright Katherine Viner wrote the play “My Name is Rachel Corrie”. It seems this play ran well in London and arrived late last month in New York to begin its’ run at the New York Theater Workshop. The play was “postponed indefinitely” from showing there due to the current “political environment” vis a vis Ariel Sharon’s illness and the Hamas victory”. You will never hear voices against Israel in New York because, if US is the greater Israel, then New York has always been the zionist capital of the world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-114144791321063339?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/114144791321063339/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=114144791321063339' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114144791321063339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/114144791321063339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/03/free-speech-made-in-boo-lay_04.html' title='Free Speech Made In Boo Lay'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-113965884088003902</id><published>2006-02-11T18:48:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:30.292+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Its A Boomerang, Mister .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/bush-idiot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/bush-idiot.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first posting draw a furious emails that flooded my inbox. Well, there are only 2 or 3 approving email, but the rest about 35 messages to this moment are of high temperature. I publish few of them that I consider appropriate, and the rest, I don’t even bother to read the second line. You know that there is delete key in my keyboard, so I use it. The deleted messages are full of dirty words , too dirty even for my septic tank , although it may feel tasty in their mouth. Some messages even threatening, but hell here I am to take these thugs on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that is not want I want to say in this posting. I just want to say thank you to all messages sent to me, because it shows to anybody free press works both ways. So it works like a boomerang, and proves – to those who are sober when reading this piece – that it hit hard right in the face who believe in free press. If you believe insult and spreading of hatred is part of the free press, now you get it . This is an acceptable rationale, don’t you think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, on different subject, I read an article in KOMPAS daily newspaper today Saturday - February 11, 2006 ,page 11 - an interesting article about caucasian. In 1995 Philippe Rushton a Canadian professor wrote a book entitled &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Race, Evolution And Behavior – A Life History Perspective&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. You may like to Google it for more detail. His theory says that caucasian west race is mediocre as far as their intelligent is concern. Their intelligent is one step below the Mongloid race in Asia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He ran an experiment and proves that the average IQ of caucasian is below 100 while Mongloid IQ is above 100. The book drew anger and the publisher was threatened by Canadian . Why, can’t these people just accept the academic fact . Let us all open minded to accept .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: I took the liberty to insert picture of the American Idiot. Thanks to Green Day for writting that piece.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-113965884088003902?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/113965884088003902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=113965884088003902' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/113965884088003902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/113965884088003902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/02/its-boomerang-mister.html' title='Its A Boomerang, Mister .'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039605.post-113931808437684320</id><published>2006-02-07T20:03:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T21:26:30.215+07:00</updated><title type='text'>This Hate Has Taken Its Toll</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/1600/dumpalink.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6676/2236/320/dumpalink.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never before Denmark been awarded a worldwide publicity. Now it get one as a country that tolerate intolerance.&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time a Dane author named Kåre Bluitgen was set to publish a book on prophet Muhammad, but there was just one catch: he couldn’t find an illustrator. Visualisation of Muhammad is taboo and considered blasphemy by Islam. So three artist turn down to illustrate the book.&lt;br /&gt;Frants Iver Gundelach, president of the Danish Writers Union, decried this as a threat to free speech — and the largest newspaper in Denmark, Jyllands-Posten, responded. They contacted forty artists to make insult cartoon of Prophet Muhammad and received in response twelve cartoons of the Prophet , and publish the cartoons in its September 30, 2005 issue. And the hell broke loose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it for free press? The answer is no. I quote 6 February 2006 issue of &lt;a href="http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,,1703500,00.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Guardian&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In April 2003, Danish illustrator Christoffer Zieler submitted a series of unsolicited cartoons dealing with the resurrection of Christ to Jyllands-Posten. Zieler received an email back from the paper's Sunday editor, Jens Kaiser, which said: "I don't think Jyllands-Posten's readers will enjoy the drawings. As a matter of fact, I think that they will provoke an outcry. Therefore, I will not use them."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, let me use the word bule to refer to the west. It is more handy and the word carries the ugly side of it’s culture. Don’t get me wrong, I still believe there are quite a number of sensible open minded bules who tolerate other faiths. But I am not sure if they constitute majority , especially today. It is indeed difficult to deny a strong impression that there is more resentment against Islam recently shown by bule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following are just a few examples. First, there were brutal attack on Mosque and assault to muslim population in Holland in revenge to the assasination of a film director. Then, there was a denial of basic human rights in France and Germany when muslim students were not allowed to wear hijab. And still fresh in our memory how a bunch of descendants of ex convicts brutally attacked Muslim in Cronulla Sydney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bule’s governments are today more open in their dislike of Islam. German chanchelor Angela Merkel has made it clear that multiculturalism is a hollow vision. Muslim immigrants must take off their hijab and adopt western culture or else leave the country. Can somebody tell me Gusdur’s phone number.He may have to unlearn his idea of pluralism and learn Christian patrotism from Merkel, so he can retain his title of cosmopolitan man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In France , Minister of Internal Affair bluntly said that he will wipe off those thugs living in the suburb with vaccum cleaner. Obviously he referred to Muslim and Arab population . The would be saint Pope Benedict join the crusade by saying that Turkey should not be part of Europe ,because Turks are Muslim while European are christian. Well, he didn’t say that explicitly, but his using the word “culture incompatibility” make no difference.&lt;br /&gt;And do you still remember the dumbest head of state on earth Bush declared a crusade against enemy of America. Later he quickly retracted the word crusade, but spontaneous statement reflects your subconscious, right? And believe it or not, today the spirit of crusade is the name of the game .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let us look at our backyard. Have you been lately reading blogs run by expat in Indonesia.Take a look to see that having been in Indonesia doesn’t make them more sensitive. But I want to be fair minded. According to statistics compiled by Kelurahan Bangka Kemang ,number of bule population in Kemang has dropped 85% since Bom Bali I. After all, who want to live in a country where bombs explodes every year,except of course the remaining 15% who are second rated .They seems to have no choice but stay because otherwise they will be one of those standing in the line collecting social security money in their homeland. If you want to visit their blog sites, drop an email to me, cause I don’t want to link my blog with rubbish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these boiled down to what I believe that Jyllands case is only the tip of the iceberg. Underneath, the hatred campaign against Islam has taken its toll. And, free press, yes of course as long as you do not publish bad things about jews and Israel, because that kind of stuff is anti semitism and considered something like blasphemy. But if we were to extrapolate free press all the way down to the domain of insult and degradation of religion, then bule must tolerate the depiction of jewish cannibal sucking the blood of Jesus Christ, or maybe an article glorifying Osama Bin Laden as a freedom fighter. How about that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22039605-113931808437684320?l=maskamto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/feeds/113931808437684320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22039605&amp;postID=113931808437684320' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/113931808437684320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22039605/posts/default/113931808437684320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maskamto.blogspot.com/2006/02/this-hate-has-taken-its-toll.html' title='This Hate Has Taken Its Toll'/><author><name>Topo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10772647296119554426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://images.forbes.com/media/faces/chavez_hugo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry></feed>
