U.S. courts disaster by plotting a war. Instead, a strategy of rights and respect is needed.

By Bouthaina Shaaban

DAMASCUS, Syria -- Every morning, people here read their newspapers to find out the latest image that Westerners have carved of them to fit the West's own objectives and agendas. For the last two years, Arabs in the Middle East have never stopped being surprised at what is made of them, their religion, their intentions and their national character.

Now comes the possibility that the United States, with or without the United Nations, will go to war with Iraq. Because of the suppressed anger, frustration and humiliation of Arab people, such a war could open "doors of hell" for the region and for West-East relations.

The bells of hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling
For you but not for me;
And the little devils how they sing-a-ling-a-ling
For you but not for me.
O Death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling,
O Grave, thy victor-ee?
The bells of hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling,
For you but not for me.

"The observation comes from me--not the LA Times"

I stand corrected...and less confused. Thanks.

Translation.


-- Every morning, people here read their newspapers to find out the latest image that Wahabi have carved of them to fit the Islam's own objectives and agendas. For the last two years, Americans all over the world have never stopped being surprised at what is made of them, their religions, their intentions and their national character.

Doors of Hell?

Mr.Shaaban they better be rollups cause we got a 40 ft. box
of pure hades coming your way.
I have no doubt you and your ilk are going to release
that dark horseman of disease and pestilence upon us,
just keep in mind that we have the science to deal with it
and you definitely DO NOT.
It will come back to bite you, as vipers always do, remember,
"The only reason you have to be happy, is that bad news travels slowly."

In the words of the USMC Scout Snipers: "Don't run, you'll just die tired." Something for the raghead leaders to learn and quickly.

"To act on the premise that one race or one religion or one nation is more prone to violence or extremism or terrorism is racist."

And to say royal blue is a darker color than yellow could be called "colorist" by those whose real intention is to keep others from expressing the obvious. It's an old and oft used liberal tactic...like insisting that anyone who dares to believe that homosexuality is immoral is "homophobic", as if there is no way someone could believe it is wrong without being frightened by it, when fear has nothing to do with the matter.

It's a battle strategy: call the detractors names, the louder the better, until you can get them to back off and you can have your way. Keep up the tactic at every opportunity, and eventually an increasing number of people will go along to avoid being attacked and some will, just out of familiarity, even begin to believe the unsubstatiated claims.
