		<description>Could you kindly comment, whether my details are correct in a dissident essay in
http://www.helsinki.fi/~pjojala/Iran-Under-Attack_Raid-over-Iran.htm ?

Palestinians were sacrifized
Chaim Weizmann and Emir Feisal were companions and emphasized the racial relations and community between the Jews and the Arabs, in contrast to the European elitist thinking even officially in the Versailles treaty. 
 
WHAT THE EUROPEAN (and US, later on) colonialists were most afraid of, was the business collaboration between the Jews and the Arabs.  
 
When 'bestowing' independence, the old landlords did EVERYTHING to knock down the close and friendly associations between those "cousins".  
 
Wahhabites to lead Arabia. Yasser Arafat's uncle to serve as the great mufti of Jerusalem, the most pathological hater of the Jews the could found. 
 
PLO was founded by the Arab League, not the Palestinians. Palestinians, whom I love, were and are USED. 
 
USED I say! Used as a 'vanguard'. 
 
You can read it from the PLO articles directly: 
http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/mideast/plocov.htm 
 
"Article 14: 
The destiny of the Arab nation, and indeed Arab existence itself, depend upon the destiny of the Palestine cause. From this interdependence springs the Arab nation's pursuit of, and striving for, the liberation of Palestine. The people of Palestine play the role of the vanguard in the realization of this sacred (qawmi) goal.  
 
Article 7: 
It is a national duty to bring up individual Palestinians in an Arab revolutionary manner. All means of information and education must be adopted in order to acquaint the Palestinian with his country in the most profound manner, both spiritual and material, that is possible. He must be prepared for the armed struggle and ready to sacrifice his wealth and his life... 
 
Article 10: 
Commando action ('FEDAYEEN' ) constitutes the nucleus of the Palestinian popular liberation war. This requires its escalation, comprehensiveness, and the mobilization of all the Palestinian popular and educational efforts and their organization and involvement in the armed Palestinian revolution.
 
On this basis the Palestinian masses, regardless of whether they are residing in the national homeland or in diaspora (mahajir) constitute - both their organizations and the individuals - one national front working for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation through armed struggle.  
 
Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. This it is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase."
 
Palestinians were sacrifized. I do not accept this loss of human dignity. Be it either the civilian Obama or the 5-year Viet-Kong suicidal captive admirals son McCain, please mention the forgotten Iraqi Christians... BUT DO NOT ATTACK IRAN...

		<description>Missy,

Tonight with be the &lt;a href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/16jun_moonillusion.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;"Solstice Moon"&lt;/a&gt;



&lt;blockquote&gt;Sometimes you just can't believe your eyes. This week is one of those times.

On Wednesday night, June 18th, step outside at sunset and look around. You'll see a giant form rising in the east. At first glance it looks like the full Moon. It has craters and seas and the face of a man, but this "moon" is strangely inflated. It's huge!

You've just experienced the Moon Illusion.

There's no better time to see it. The full Moon of June 18th is a "solstice moon", coming only two days before the beginning of northern summer. This is significant because the sun and full Moon are like kids on a see-saw; when one is high, the other is low. This week's high solstice sun gives us a low, horizon-hugging Moon and a strong Moon Illusion.

Sky watchers have known for thousands of years that low-hanging moons look unnaturally big. At first, astronomers thought the atmosphere must be magnifying the Moon near the horizon, but cameras showed that is not the case. Moons on film are the same size regardless of elevation: example. Apparently, only human beings see giant moons.  
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I intend to gather my children and go up on the roof later this evening.

My 10 year old is fascinated with the planets and the stars.</description>

		<description>You might be interested on the "Sins of the fathers" in the Bush family. Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker were running the slave coal mines that needed Jewish and other camp laborers in Poland. Bush continued his business transactions with Fritz "I Paid Hitler -author" Thyssen even after US had been in war with the Nazi Germany already for a year.
http://www.helsinki.fi/~pjojala/Bushism_sins_of_the_fathers.htm

I think GW Bush was repenting over the sins of his fathers during his era. But "Thou Shall Not Take the Name of the Lord in Vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless whosoever uses His name in vain", said the decalog, Ten Commandments to the hypocrite fake believers. Not to your own ends. I pray for the Republican quasi-royal families, I wish them all good. An analogous process of blood money laundring was going on in the richest family of the "impartial" Sweden, the Wallenberg's. They invested in the Nazi's during the hyperinflation at the 1920's, when money from abroad determined who's gonna get the power. SA was a private and PAID army with its 350,000 x2 arms. They were no boy scouts but demanded money. Four times larger private army than the Wehrmacht field army of Germany...

A longer version in English with Scientific backround of Western race hygiene in general (first a scanned text from a classic volume of professor Daniel Gasman, then my own 50 page research with 100 references):
http://www.helsinki.fi/~pjojala/Gasman.htm

Currently, "A new wave of ethnic cleansing is going on in Iraq," Iraqi Christian representative Behiye Hadodo told the gathering. "If these atrocities continue, the Chaldean, Syriac and Assyrian communities there will be wiped out altogether, creating a new catastrophe for humanity." Yet nobody seems to care. Boycotts, divestment and other initiatives are directed only at Israel. Iraq's Assyrians are a non-Arab ethnic minority located mainly in northeastern Iraq, and adherents of Christian denominations including the Chaldean Catholic and Syriac Orthodox churches. A 1987 census recorded 1.4 million Christians in Iraq, but the numbers began to drop after the 1990 Gulf War, reaching around 800,000 before the U.S. invaded in March 2003. Persecution at the hands of Islamic radicals -- killings, church bombings, kidnappings, forced conversions and harassment -- has prompted hundreds of thousands of Christians to flee the country since 2003. Although accurate statistics are unavailable, researchers believe the community may have been halved in the past five years. Within one or two generations, he said, Christians in the Middle East - the birthplace of Christianity - may be reduced to a negligible number, having been forced to flee radical Islam.
So be it either the civilian Obama or the 5-year Viet-Kong suicidal captive admirals son McCain, please mention the forgotten Iraqi Christians!

		<description>On a national Cable TV Show Oberman says all that.....

If Bush were 1/10th what the left projects onto him, Oberman would have been in a gulag years ago.

Instead us "evil conservatives" are fighting to keep Oberman's terrorist idols from cutting his fool head off.  I lost friends so this moron could spout his garbage without any reguard for reason, logic, reality, or the truth.

If Oberman wants a "worst person in the world", all he needs to do is look in a mirror and never need another nomination.  Even Bin Laden or "Kim the Ill" in North Korea would only run 2nd place.</description>

		<description>Agreed.  They were all supportive of bombing civilians and starving millions of Iraqis as long as a Democrat was in office.  The so-called-anti-war extremists are really just ABB; Anybody But Bush.  Notice how when GWB quietly slips from the limelight and McCain steps back to let the Dems debate amongst themselves...all that happens is the left's rages explodes.

		<description>Scott,

The Russian monstrosity called their government is in some ways similar to Iran's government.

When Iran's leaders say they did not know about or approve the Revolutionary Guards or others' actions, those particular leaders may be telling the truth.  They and their faction may not have known or approved of anything.  However, another faction with its own goals and command structure did.  Or maybe two factions... or three.... But not the one making the press statement.

One of the reasons Iran's "president" cry's the "crusaders are coming" is to try and rally Iran to his faction/coalition.  This is why Iran is talking about invasions while the US is not.  Continued Iranian attacks in the regions may force our hand, but attacking Iran is not high on the lists of things we need to do.  Defeating Iran in Iraq however and further fractionaizing Iran's government with through this defeat, is.

I think the leaders of the "anti-war" movement also see this and know that not invading Iran and letting it fall from within would be a US victory.  This may be why they are leading the "Bush wants to invade Iran" charge within the US.

They are not "anti-war" at all.  They are very pro-war, just not for our side.</description>

This is why Iran is talking about invasions while the US is not.  Continued Iranian attacks in the regions may force our hand, but attacking Iran is not high on the lists of things we need to do.  Defeating Iran in Iraq however and further fractionaizing Iran&#8217;s government with through this defeat, is.</p>
<p>I think the leaders of the &#8220;anti-war&#8221; movement also see this and know that not invading Iran and letting it fall from within would be a US victory.  This may be why they are leading the &#8220;Bush wants to invade Iran&#8221; charge within the US.</p>
<p>They are not &#8220;anti-war&#8221; at all.  They are very pro-war, just not for our side.</p>

		<description>Ya know, the US Federal govt is an almost insurmountable, intractable, and immobile bureacracy.  Imagine combining the Pentagon with the dozen or so other intelligence agencies and every law enforcement agency in the nation all under the same procurement hierarchy.  Now imagine combining all those desk jockeys with all of the defense supplies-all in one single giant organization.  Yeah, kinda hard to stop someone from foolin around, and kinda hard to make a change in such a massive organization.  Well, that's what they've got in Russia.  Dunno what the solution is, but it does give a different perspective on how fmr Soviet arms go from A to B with little more than a, "hey, btw Mr Putin..."   Oh yeah, toss in a 3rd world mentality with the frustrations of having once been a superpower.  It makes for a situation that's ripe for arms sales.  People often blame the US for the world's arms sales because we have the biggest dollar value, but I submit that selling (100) F-16i fighters to the UAE for a few billion dollars is the equivelant of selling millions of AK47s to a few African countries and maybe a couple thousand insurgents fighting against the great satan and capitalist running dog imperialists of Haliburton.</description>

		<description>Thud,

That is the elephant in the center of the room Russia must deal with.  They opened a Pandora's Box years ago and the Islamists not only hate "godless communists" but have a history of war with the lands of and around modern Russia.

No one said what the Soviets did made sense and would not come back to bite them.</description>

		<description>Much of this is perhaps true...only problem for Russia is that they are not exempt from the hatred of the Islamo nazis...something that will continue to grow.</description>

		<description>The Russians are bad enough. They'll sell that stuff to anyone. But what is worse is the attitude by the left in this country that has effectively encouraged the Hezboos, operating with the money and at the direction of their Iranain and Syrian masters.

I'm reading former Sec. State George Shultz's memoir "Turmoil and Triumph" and he describes the scene in Lebanon in the early 1980's when the Marine Baracks suicide bombing took place. He said that everytime the "pull out now" crowd in the U.S. started crowing, the Iranians and Syrians, using Hezbollah would push all the harder.

It was only when we pushed back, using the USS New Jersey and other assets that the Hezboos backed down.

There is no U.S. military in Lebanon to make the Hezboos back down today. And if Israel got involved, the world would not condemn Hezbollah, but Israel.</description>

		<description>This backs my earlier argument here about the culture, corruption, greed and power driving the terrorism and "backwardness" rather than religion.  The U.S. government had to have known about this operation and they should have exposed it earlier.  The U.S. is 50 years late in trying to win the hearts and minds and exposing this stuff.  Maybe the U.S. government had other plans and that was to keep an overwhelming enemy out there after the Cold War was over.</description>

		<description>They are also benefiting from the spike in oil prices. Part of the reason for Reagan's success in "ending" the Cold War was a glut in the oil market.</description>
