Yeah, I did miss the boad about ceasing to exist. I bet I piss a lot of people by comming back, but I was really pissed by the garbage I see posted on DP.
For me, what is most scary is the amount of missinformation we get in the US media about Israel and the occupied territories.
I believe that Jewish organizations in the US have such an enormous power in politics, culture, and the media, that any reporter that would try to convey a normal report about Palestine and the occupied territories, as well as the Palestinian refugees scaterred around the world with their birthright confiscated, would lose his/her job.
I am willing to bet many reporters have lost their jobs trying to give America the truth about this conflict.
I have been a man without a country for about 2 years before being admitted as a refugee in the US.
I am not Arab, and I actually don't like Arabs that much. I don't hate Jews either, actually, older members of my family have helped Jews during WW2 at their own risk.
But I do know right from wrong, and I do care for America. I am angry when someone like Ethan would question the love for America of those who do see more in this conflict than the simplistic Holywood "good vs. evil".
In the middle east there are no good. There are some trully evil, and lots of desperats on all sides.
Having been a person without a country, I know that Palestinians must feel like cornered rats. And they will lash out like cornered rats, Osama or no Osama.
And I don't want more American lives lost for a stupid Zionist expansionist policy, and the moral corruption of our politicians.
I am particulary disgusted by the media. Instead of informing America about facts and consequences, they have made themselves the mouthpieces of our American Jihad.
All they have been doing is dihumanizing Afgans, and Arabs, Muslims, while crucifying anybody who dared to point at our own faults.
Osama Bin Ladin will soon die. What I am afraid is that he will become a martir for 25% of the world's population, or 1.25 billion Muslims.
Just as our conscription centers have seen a boost, so did the Jihad's. So we can expect more terrorism not less. And we should be afraid that should we win this war, we may do so by acting and becoming as bloodthirsty and mad as we believe THEM to be.
The war on terrorism needs to include:
1 - A deffinition of terror.
2 - Redress in court for those hurt by governemnt and military action (see Pinochet, Sharon and the Palestian refugee camps in Lebanon).
3 - Peace in the middle East, a peace that would include the Palestians in and out of Israel and the occupied territories.
4 - A US policy consistent with human rights, even if we have to give up goodies from China.
otherwise, the next Osama is getting a good beating right now in Gaza. Give him 10 years and he'll be 22.
