Current Events - May 2007

Now 1st of all pls let me say, to lose your little girl must rip your whole world apart, but is is just me or do her parents enjoy their 'tv debut's' and telling everyone how they are going to flash all their money about? Last week I heard Gerry McCann say to a journalist 'we'll take 1 more question please' I mean, what on earth is that all about?! Fair enough get lots of media attention, but for god's sake, get out there, search the countries and leads that you have, what about Morocco sighting? what about Cyprus sighting? Use the money to find your daughter instead of waiting around for your next 'emotionless, cold, super ego'd tv appearances!" If it was my daughter there is no way on this earth anyone could keep me holed up in an apartment, and popping into church everyday looking like I've lost 50p, not my daughter!! Another thing that REALLY disturbed me is that apparently they've been putting their other two kids in nursery every day, I wouldn't let them out of my sight!

Is it necessary for them to raise gas prices so that they can make record profit??? Last year when we reached $3 a gallon they all came out with record profit!!!??? Now the gas prices are even higher so they could beat their record profit again!!! Is this necessary when most Americans are suffering to pay high gas prices??? If this isn't a rip-off and the Bush admin isn't doing anything about it just as bad as Bush ripping us off!!!!! Why can't these average Americans see that we're being screwed by Bush and his oil buddies!

Jimmy Carter, the failed commie moron, allowed Iran to be overrun by religious whack jobs. The incidents of terrorism increased dramatically since 1979 and tens of thousands around the world through Iranian backed financing have been killed. Had Jimmy Carter supported the Shah, would fewer people have been brainwashed into the cult of murder those who aren't like you? The Iran/Iraq war was a direct result of commie carter's failures. This is why we had to support sadamn against Iran and balance the two evils. Now through China, North Korea and Pakistan, Iran will obtain nukes and possibly murder millions. How many have already died because of commie carter's incompetence? How many more? Innocent Persians will die, as will Jews and Americans and every other nationality on the planet because of commie carter. What's your guess? Millions? Hundreds of Thousands?

Have you ever thought that if you stop doing what pisses these people off, they might turn to other endeavors? say golf, farming or playing cards? Have you ever thought maybe all those people who are mad at the US have some good reason?*

*those who know the reasons, please point them out. Many US people still think "terrorists" envy their freedom, or hate that women don't wear burqas rather than well, for starters invading countries wantonly.

If US companies can go anywhere to get cheap resources and labor, often subjecting whole countries to backwards tyranny and punishment, why can't people go anywhere they desire? Are we jailed within borders while corporations are free to steal anywhere and move again?

This is a civil war between the religious factions. If they want to kill themselves - let them. They've been doing it for years. Why should we sacrifice our own flesh and blood for something that will never cease. They are fanatics, always were, alwyas will be. To hell with them. It would be different if it were a country who helped during the previous wars but to my knowledge I don't think they ever didn anything to help during WW1 or WW2 or the Korean or Vietnam wars. Bring our military home now.

Africa faces AIDS, poverty, and genocide in Darfur, not to mention the amputations and killings in Sierra Leone over conflict diamonds. How can a land so blessed with natural resources, be the poorest in the world? I believe that Europe and the USA have been a major contributor to this turmoil and poverty, through slavery, colonialism, and politics.

How can we help Africa, which I believe is the cradle of life, the land we ALL came from many years ago... What can we as Americans do? It goes beyond throwing money at the problems, because we all know like Somalia, many warlords intercept money and food.

So we must take an active role in aid. Ourselves. Our US government, the pharmaceutical industry, teachers, professors, doctors, lawyers.. anybody who can enrich the lives of Africans and help our fellow human beings in need.

This isn't about religion or politics, but a cry for help we have to answer. Why? Because we have the capacity to do so.
Any suggestions?

"Some US Muslims justify suicide attacks"
-News headline from May 22, 2007.

So, how should the US deal with "US" Muslims who support murder/suicide?

P.S. Supporters of murder/suicide need not reply.

I understand the media can only give us what they are allowed, and that leaves us wondering what the "rest of the story" is.

"Energy independence now rivals health care as the top domestic concern. In an April Center for American Progress poll, 60 percent of Americans supported bold action on global warming. A staggering 79 percent believe shifting to alternative energy sources will help the economy and create, not cost, jobs. Voters think the United States is falling behind other countries, and they want government to lead." Robert Borsage and KV Heuval

Just a few years back Israel branded Yasser Arafats Fatah movement as a terrorist organisation. Since Hamas has won the majority of the Palestinian vote the Israelis have changed their tune and are now supporting Fatah and are trying to forment civil war between Fatah and Hamas. This policy of diivde and conquer is the classic colonial tactic to control an occupied people. Just like the Americans drives Sunni against Shia in Iraq, as the British drove Protestant against Catholic in Ireland or Hindu against Muslim in India, the Zionist fascists are turning the Palestinian people against each other for their own selfish interests. What do people think about this?

Their first cabinet meeting revolved around invading Iraq, they lied to the American People, outed a CIA operative, falsified and 'spun' intelligence reports, ignored advice from knowledgeable people, packed Federalpositions with incompetents, and engaged in illegal activity from the very first.
Why have they not been held accountable and sentenced to jail?
