=== News Update === Time to liberate America —Miranda Husain January 30, 2005 What freedoms exactly does the Bush administration believe the terrorists are attacking? The freedom of an administration to violate its own rule of law? For an administration that has breached its own laws cannot be said to afford its own people dignity and freedom from tyranny “America’s belief in human dignity will guide our policies.” http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/1038930.htm === Bush Declares Jihad, the American Way Hassan Nafaa 2005/01/26 During his inauguration ceremony, President Bush delivered a speech that was different from all the speeches of his predecessors. The former presidents of the United States at their respective inauguration ceremonies delivered speeches that outlined the internal and external political program that they intend to implement during their four-year tenure. Bush chose to deliver a speech on his behalf and on behalf of the neo-conservatives, and it could be tacitly said that it foreshadowed the declaration of war, or perhaps it could be said that it carried a 'Jihad Manifesto' for the extreme right wing in America. http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/1038924.htm === U.S. is changing for the worse Watching America by Brad Niblett I had a unique experience growing up in Canada with a Canadian father and American mother.

But not in the way the Americans imagined Robert Fisk in Baghdad America has insisted on these elections - which will produce a largely Shia parliament representing Iraq's largest religious community - because they are supposed to provide an exit strategy for embattled US forces, but they seem set to change the geopolitical map of the Arab world in ways the Americans could never have imagined. For George Bush and Tony Blair this is the law of unintended consequences writ large. http://207.44.245.159/article7908.htm === US-Made Election Schemes in Iraq and Palestine by Amer Jubran 29 January 2005 "The US may have its election day on January 30, but it will not be enough to change things in Iraq." George Bush mentioned the word 'freedom' over 30 times in his inauguration speech, which lasted for over twenty minutes. The timing of the speech came after the Palestinian "elections" and before the Iraqi "elections." Bush concluded his speech by saying, "Democracy is coming whether you are ready or not." http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/1038607.htm === The Dead Don't Vote: Democracy and necrology http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/727/re4.htm === Insurgents are domestic, Sunni and nationalist These are the people of IRAQ, and they want their country BACK. http://news.ft.com/cms/s/713eb270-716d-11d9-a5d6-00000e2511c8.html === Iraq and its resistance by Stephen Gowans The question of whether Iraqis have a right to resist the occupation of their country by US-led forces is clear: they do.
