Perspectives

"Saddam's appearance immediately after his arrest was remarkably similar to that of many homeless people on the streets of US cities. He did not look like a worthy foe, and his image totally contradicted that portrayed by the US media."

"And, finally, the No. 10 reason, President George W. Bush should be fired is:

Every few months, he lets his dog Barney run the country!"

"It is the intensity of national oppression and degradation to which the Arabs have been exposed in the last half century of "post-colonialism" that provides an explanation for their persistent, and increasingly humiliating, failures to achieve national emancipation and dignity."

"...it is clear that if the Road Map does fail and Sharon actually does implement unilateral steps, first of all any Israeli redeployment and removal of settlements should be viewed favorably. This would be a step in the right direction. If unilateralism does become the only game in town, then efforts should be made for a series of coordinated unilateral steps that would ease the tension and protect human lives on both sides."

"The increasing frequency of calls from some Israelis for measures legally defined as genocide, including "population transfer," also reflect the sudden realization that the foundations of the Zionist project are disintegrating rapidly as Palestinians are once again becoming a majority between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean."

"The trial of Saddam Hussein as a war criminal will be a good opportunity to demonstrate to many Arabs what the fate of those that oppress their own people."

"What the arrogant President Bush did in the Jose Padilla case was to unlawfully seize the authority of the other two branches of the government: the Legislative and Judicial, unto himself. In effect, he became Padilla’s judge, jury and sheriff! Come to think of it, he unlawfully usurped Congress’s power “to declare war,” when he ordered the invasion of Iraq. The evidence shows that Bush is a serial offender of the U.S. Constitution."

"There is no need now for U.S. military presence whatsoever. There is no need for U.S. corporations in Iraq to rebuild the country. Let the Iraq's rebuild their own country. They built it in the first place without U.S. corporations in charge! If the Iraqis want to hire U.S. contractors, let the Iraqis make that decision!"
