One thing about Europeans that are more sinister than Americans is their unrepentant racism. Americans hate people that they don't know but our European cousins hate all non-Europeans without exception period.

The only reason why Europeans seem to champion the cause of such poor bastards like Palestinian is because of their Colonial history. They know how to manipulate their subjects. Where as US policies are purely based on good vs bad as it relates to its survival and prosperity.

If you want to see how indifferent to diversity the Europeans are just go over there and visit those countries and compare them to how minorities are treated in US. US is where all the oppressed people still want to come, eventhough the US policies have in most cased contributed to their predicament. NOW, THAT IS IRONY WRAPPED IN DICHOTOMY......

The abuses of prisoners or passing out pictures of prisoners are all as a result of an illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. When the world sits idle and seems to accept the dominant power's projection of force these daily events are inevitable.

The exremists in US or British military see nothing wrong with their actions. Abusing and Killing Arabs or afghans becomes acceptable because the politicians have made it so. I do not blame the foot soldiers they are just a tool as Saddam was in 70's and 80's. When Bush grins at hearing of such news what can anyone expect from the soldiers.

I blame all this mess only on Bush and his team, plus several congresspeople that have agreed to pursue this violent policy of invasion and occupation.

I say it again, after all is said and done, its the people that voted to reelect Bush are the source of continuation of this madness.

Is there anyone left in US politics with "BALLS" to stand up and say enough!!

The Bush policy is leading our world to "Nuclear Oil". Is this dependence on oil by West worth the killings and suffering?! This policy of oil at any price could also lead to "nuclear contamination of the oil fields" that will not significantly affect the third world but will devastate the industrial nations.....Is that what bible is calling for? Are we in West so greedy and selfish that its all for one or nothing.

We shall see if common sense will prevail, but I don't see that and I'm not sure if we can wait another three years!!! I suspect in three years Iran and North Korea will unleash a no returning nuclear race to protect limited resources and cultures from dominant powers and cultures.

We in west will either change our economics and cultural dominant postures or the race is on.

Here is my prediction for Iraq:

In two years we will not be talking about insurgent leader Zarqavi, he'll be probably dead, but there will be another leader that we'll have to get. Israel has been doing this for over forty years and there is no end to new "crop of leaders".

This is mainly about occupation and maybe few other issues such as Sunis, Saddam buddies,...Etc. But ultimately its about a powerful foreign force in your land, you can see it in their eyes, maybe not so much in their actions when embedded photographers are taking pictures....

Bottom line is that this not how its done .................

I see light at the end of the tunnel now ---------

The Bush team has done all the damage they can and the pendulum is swinging towards reason and problem solving method of working our worlds sickness. The smart and good people with honorable intentions will prevail.

The world's people are much more complex than bunch of flag waiving hypocrite.
