I was watching Bill Moyer’s Journal this evening. The show was about how Christian Evangelical fascists led by a blood thirsty man by the name of Hagee. (his “last name”) Among his followers and supporters are the president of USA whom elected by millions of people. Hagee has millions of followers who support and applaud the destruction of Iraq, the rape of men and women by Americans in Iraq, the killings of million plus Iraqis, support and applaud the four million Iraqi displacements from their home. Now they are recommending the same fate to be fallen on Iranians claiming the same WMD reasons they have given before the invasion of Iraq. Iraq and Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons; if they had one, they would have been respected. The cowards who are giving Christianity a bad name driving the policy in Washington to kill off all Muslims wherever they can be found starting with Palestinians.

Asia Times Online :: South Asia news - Taliban poised for a big push : "KARACHI - Following the success of their 2006 spring offensive, the Taliban were expected to make even further gains in Afghanistan this year. It never happened, due to strong pre-emptive action by Western coalition forces in Afghanistan and Pakistani military action against Taliban bases in the Pakistani tribal areas.

'There are groups which have set up checkpoints without coordinating with the government,' he said. 'Apparently they coordinated with the (US military). They should be placed under army control.'"

AlterNet: War on Iraq: Our Most Important Mission: Prevent War with Iran : "The United States continues to hold the Iranians prisoner, undoubtedly subjecting them to “special treatment” in order to elicit some sort of confession, if our handling of other Iranian diplomats previously captured in Iraq is any guide. Their release any time soon is unlikely, given the impact a de facto admission that the Bush administration got it wrong would have on the overall case against Iran it is trying to build. The fate of Farhadi is likewise up in the air. "

AlterNet: War on Iraq: Only a U.S. Withdrawal Will Stop Al Qaeda in Iraq : "… It is still a shaky union, a desperate marriage of convenience based on shared enemies: Iran, and the Sunnis' former-friend-turned-foe Al Qaeda.
