With Codi, Bolton, Wolf on the job… will Falwell, Armold, Boykin and Pat follow?
President Bush deserves to be congratulated on his announcing Paul Wolfowitz, the hardline Neocon who led the “attack Iraq” campaign, as the US nominee to be the head of the World Bank The President is following a trend in having hardliners in key positions. First was Condoleezza Rice the hawkish nominee to replace the dovish Colin Powell. Ms Rice has said; “The only Military of consequence in the world today are the US Marines”. Her appointment was followed by that of John Bolton as the US ambassador to the UN. John had said “There is no such thing as the United nations.” And that “The UN should be subservient to US interests”
And now with the nomination of Paul Wolfowitz, the former deputy secretary of defense, who was one of the prime movers of the Iraq war, the US is sending clear signals to its adversaries that the 2nd Bush administration will brook no obstructionists in its pursuit of the war on terror that is soon to move against Iran and then against Syria. We may recollect here that Wesley Clark, the former Democratic Presidential wannabe, had disclosed that after 9/11 the Pentagon had drawn up plans to attack seven Muslim countries, one after the other. The campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq have knocked down two of the targets which the Pentagon had listed out. Iran and Syria are the next two. After these two are dealt with the question remains, which are the other three that would remain to be knocked out. Whether those next three will be Sudan, Libya and North Korea, or Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, is anybody’s guess!
In a half serious half jocular vein we suggest to the President to now appoint General William Boykin, the deputy undersecretary of Defense who minces no words while describing Islam and has had a track record of battling Muslims first hand in Somalia, as the new head of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) in place of the Egyptian Mohamed ElBaradei, who has started practicing the Muslim art of deception (Taqqiyya), by saying that Iran has no nukes, also appoint Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Governor of California to a newly created office of Additional Secretary of State for prosecuting the GWOT. The President should also appoint Rev Pat Robertson, the firebrand preacher as the Secretary of State for Ideological Warfare against Terror with Jerry Falwell as Secretary of State for harvesting the souls of the heathen Muslims in the liberated countries. Only when the US takes the war on an earnest all out offensive against the Muslims, as it did with the Nazis, can the enemy be broken and this war be won

An Analysis of President Bush’s Democracy and the GWOT speech (8th March 2005)
In President Bush’s mind there exits a seemingly valid connection between the spread of democracy in the Middle East and victory in the GWOT (Global War on terror). While it is true that with the exercise of universal adult franchise on which rests democracy, the idea of rule of Allah through a Caliph (based on the Shariah as interpreted by the Mullahs), receives a setback. This was why Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, the Jordanian terrorist leader causing mayhem in Iraq decried democracy as anti-Islamic. So every advance of democracy in the Middle East should logically be a set back for the Islamists and their concept of Khilafah (Islamic Caliphate) where the Shariah would be the constitution, and the Mullahs be the wielders power. With democracy, power is transferred to the common people. This is all seemingly very good. But is this what really happens in the Middle East when people exercise universal franchise?
What if a majority of the people who vote, want the establishment of Islamic Khilafah under the rule of Shariah, as interpreted by the Mullahs. Then you end up legitimizing religious fanaticism by using democracy as a tool. Remember mass support for a wrong cause does not make that cause right. Hitler was also elected on a popular mandate!
Yes we had elections in Iraq and that is being touted as a victory for democracy, but it looks like we are on the way to having an Islamic (Shia) fanatic dominated parliament there.
Yes we had elections in the Gaza, Judea and Samaria too, but Abu Mazen calls for a “Greater Jihad” against the “Zionist Enemy” and in the municipal elections there it was the terrorist Hamas which was elected to power.
Yes we had an election in Saudi Arabia, of all places, too. But they just gave legitimacy to a farce in which only males could vote for candidates selected by the Saudi monarchy. This only served to legitimize the hold of the Wahabi monarchy over what will masquerade as democracy.
Yes the global pressure on Lebanon, would see the back of Syrian troops there, but if it means that Hezbollah becomes stronger through the ballot box, as was evident through their massive rally addressed by their terrorist leader Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah, then the ballot box would only legitimize the evil of Islamic fanaticism.
The point is that democracy is only a method, which would be a noble method, only if the people who vote are nobly intentioned. If the people who vote are evil intentioned and support terrorism, then giving them the right to vote leads to evil leaders being elected and legitimized in the name of universal franchise that was exercised thru the one person, one vote principle. Thus the issue to be addressed is not whether people have the right to vote in a free and fair election, but if they have the right temperament and cultural ethos that supports a civilized peace-loving way of life.
The Middle East under Islam does not have this prerequisite for a civilized peace-loving way of life, so whether Muslims are ruled by dictators like Bashar Assad or Hosni Mubarak, or by despotic kings like Fahd or Abdullah, or by Military dictators like Pervez Musharraf, of by elected leaders like the leaders of Hamas or the Shias in Iraq or in Khatami’s Iran, does not make the system civilized just because the leaders have been elected by the people who have exercised universal franchise. Is this point being missed at the White House?
By the way Aslan Maskhadov, the Chechen terrorist leader who was hunted down by the Russians, was also elected by the majority of Chechens. That did not prevent him from murdering school kids at Beslan. Like him, the majority of the people of the Middle East support Terrorism, since their Islamic ethos supports terrorism, as it has been terror that has born and bred Islam since the 7th century when it was founded on terror by the founding father of mass theology-inspired terrorism Mohammed-ibn-Abdallah whom the Muslims look upon as their prophet. Till we zero down on this root cause of terrorism, no amount of universal franchise and elections can change the beastly Islamic core of the people of the Middle East. What has been achieved is a mirage, that will delude us into believing that Iraq or the West Bank are now safer places since the people of those lands have participated in an election. As long as these people are motivated by the murderous ideology of Islam, nothing changes – elections or no elections. In fact if this murderous mentality has to change, we would need ruthless leaders (like Mustapha Kemal Pasha of Turkey) to rule over the Middle East. Leaders who would uproot this murderous mentality from the minds of people, as was done by Stalin’s Russia with the Chechens and which is what ensured peace in Chechnya, till the freedom which the fall of the USSR, gave the Chechens to go back to their murderous roots and start the current campaign of murder and mayhem. By hunting down Aslan Maskhadov, the Russians have shown us the right way to deal with terrorists, whether they be despots or be they elected by majority support of a population who support terrorism.
For freedom to be secure in the long run, it has to be curtailed in the short run, till the murderous mentality of those who want to establish a theocracy based on the murderous mentality of Islam are not eliminated like Maskhadov was. Only after all such criminals are no more, can our experiment with democracy bring peace. President Bush needs to keep this in mind when formulating the future strategy of the GWOT. He can learn a lesson or two from President Putin, instead of hectoring him on the niceties and civilities to be observed by a leader of a democratic nation.
Is any one from the White House reading this?

Hezbollah and Syria enter the game of suicide attacks on Israel
With the Tel Aviv Night Club bombing, one of our predictions has come true. We had predicted that once the Israel-Palestinian peace deal comes thru and the Hamas/Jihad Islami/Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade suspend the attacks against Israel as part of their Hudna, the Hezbollah (Hizbollah) will not rest quiet, neither will Syria which wants another front to attack the US-Israeli interests to counter the pressure on itself (Syria) to withdraw from Lebanon, due to its murder of Rafiq Hariri, the former President of Lebanon, who was an ardent advocate of Syria’s withdrawal from Israel. That this prediction has come true is not the point (see the story “Shape of things to come in Iraq and the world over”below). The point is about the logical consequences that will follow from this prediction coming true, as we have mentioned, in the story below. Just keep watching as the trajectory of predictions unfolds, barring few aberrations. Our advise to the US and Israel is to not just keep their gunpowder dry, but also to keep their finger on the trigger, to launch retaliatory (if not pre-emptive) strikes against Hezbollah, and their sponsors Iran and Syria.

Bush – Putin Summit, Democracy and the War on Terror
During World War 2, we destroyed the Nazis by allying ourselves with Stalin’s USSR and China (then under joint Nationalist and Communist rule) which hardly were democratic nations, so we should have no hassles about aligning with Russia and China today to destroy terrorism. Islamic Terrorism is far more pervasive than was Nazism, since Islam is basically a form of theology-inspired terrorism having an emotional grip on the psyche of one billion and a half persons.
And unlike Nazism, Islam is not limited mainly to one nation. So it is all the more critical for the USA and Russia to unite on the war on terror, without making a fuss about the perfections of Russian Democracy. Let the Russian people worry about that. Russia under whatever form of government does not threaten the security of the USA. So President Bush needs to be focused on the commonality of interests between the two, rather than on the different ideas that he and President Putin have about democracy for our respective countries.
The same holds true for China and its human rights record. The Chinese human rights record too, does not threaten American security interests. So it would be foolish for the USA to be fastidious on this issue of democracy in Russia and China. And it would be wise for the Americans and Russians to learn from history. When the Terrorism of the Islamic Jihad started 1400 years back from Arabia, the Muslims faced two formidable powers of those days the Byzantine (Roman) Empire and the Sassanid (Persian) Empire. These two empires were rivals of each other and had fought a protracted war, quite similar to the Cold War of our age. When the Islamic Arab invasion began, these two powers refused to display foresight and did not unite against the Islamic Jihad, and consequently the Muslims defeated and destroyed both the empires one after another, and forcibly converted the population to Islam. Today the Muslim Jihadis hope that Americans and Russians also play the role of the Byzantines and Sassanids so that the Muslims could once again prevail over both. In fact the Al Qaeda, refers to the Americans as Rome and the Russians as Persia. We hope this wisdom dawns on the Americans and Russians too, and the camaraderie displayed when the two Presidents met at Bratislava is preserved and shapes the future course of relations between these two great nations - the United States and the Russian Federation. The Bratislava summit would really serve its purpose if it leads to the formation of a Russo-American military alliance that could defeat the Islamic Jihad and destroy this threat to civilization once and forever.
Presidents Bush and Putin need to stop Russian-American relations from going into a nosedive
If not halted soon, the nosedive in these relations will be a cause of worry for the future course of the War on Terror.
We agree that both the USA ad Russia are different countries and have divergent interests, but they also have one overriding common cause in fighting and winning the war on terror.
Both are fighting the same enemy. But both have divergent interests too. The Russians were wanting to have pro-Russian governments in Georgia and in Ukraine, These Russian objectives have been frustrated by the West, mainly by the USA. Yes, the current governments there represent the will of a majority of the people of Georgia and Ukraine, but are not those which Russia would have preferred viz., Eduard Shevardnadze in Georgia and Viktor Yanukovich in the Ukraine. The West disregarded Russian preferences and let the anti-Russian, but popularly supported leaders like Viktor Yushchenko, (the current president of Ukraine) and Mikhail Saakashvili (the current President of Georgia), to get elected. But then when fighting a common enemy and that too one who is as cut-throat as the Jihadis the Russians and the Americans needs to overlook, such small niceties.
This message holds true for both the USA and Russia. If not, both will undermine each other in the common effort to the benefit of the Jihadis and to the detriment of the entire civilized world.
Yes, immediately after 9/11, the Russian President Vladimir Putin had asked the Americans to jointly undertake the fight against the Jihadis, by first targeting Saudi Arabia the fountainhead of the Jihadi terrorist outlook. But the USA baulked at the prospect of upsetting oil supplies to the West, and decided to go after Iraq, following the successful completion of the short and swift Afghan campaign. The American aim in attacking Iraq was to frighten the Saudis into co-operating. This has worked only partly, as seen in the perfunctory efforts being made by the Saudis in fighting terror on their homeland, and making cosmetic changes in their school curriculums, which call for death to all non-Muslims and holding all male elections to local civic bodies.
But these Saudi efforts are only meant to stave off any resolute US action against the Saudis. As 9/11 told the USA and the West about the ruthlessness of the Jihadis, Beslan did so to the Russians. Both are convinced that the Jihadis have to be fought to a finish. But the Cold War temperament still hangs over the mindset of both the USA and Russia and so both continue to play petty games to outwit the other. This could prove disastrous for the war effort and benefit the Jihadis.
The moves by the USA to support the Viktor Yushchenko, the president of Ukraine and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili have not gone down well with Russia and President Putin in particular – who is a very sensitive but a determined person. He struck back by offering to sell missiles to Syria and give nuclear technology to Iran. We realize these moves could turn out eventually to be feints to deflect any further anti-Russian moves by the USA. But such moves hurt the overall effort in the war against terror.
After Beslan, the Russians had said that their military is readying itself to strike at terrorists everywhere across the globe. But helping out Iran and Syria with nuclear and missile technology is hardly a way to do so!
We Americans would do well to remember that in a long term and titanic effort which the war on terror is going to be, there need to be many small compromises. The Russian aberrations with regard to democratic finesse and niceties need to be ignored and the USA also needs to be far more sensitive to Russia's sensibilities. Only then can a rock solid alliance among all Western (Latin American, Asian and African) nations be formed. An alliance of which the USA, Russia, France, UK, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Spain, Italy, as also India and China would be an active military a part. The USA cannot fight and win this war alone. It is high time we Americans showed more maturity and far-sightedness in dealing with potential allies like Russia China and others.
The US should also not offend China needlessly by trying to blockade European Arms sales to China.

Land for peace, in Israel
The Israelis need to realize that by starting on a land for peace deal with the Palestinians, they will eventually be pushed to go on to a faith for peace and finally a life for peace deals. The Palestinians following their Muslim tradition will never negotiate in good faith with any non-Muslims, as their prophet has told them never to compromise with Kafirs (non-Muslims). He himself had set an example by his Treaty of Hudaibiyya in which he tricked and trapped the pre-Muslim Quriash of Mecca. The Israelis better remember that any peace with the Palestinians will be looked upon by the Palestinians as a Hudna, a temporary peace, to re-arm themselves towards the final struggle of destroying the Jewish state.
The Land for Peace is a first Palestinian step to push the Israelis down the grave into the next stages of giving up Land for retaining their (Jewish) Faith and finally Land for saving their lives (embrace Islam and be safe). This would be done in the typical Muslim tactic of their ancestors who had started with their prophet Mohammed by giving the Dawat-ul-Islam (Invitation to embrace Islam) to the non-Muslim kings of Persia and Byzantine to embrace Islam and be safe. The Israelis better be aware of Muslim tactics, as is evident from Islam’s bloodied history of 1400 years and refute the deal with the Palestinians, and prepare themselves for a mortal struggle against the Palestinian Jihadis that will certainly come in the near future.
Attack on Iran and Israeli-Palestinian peace - is there an eerie connection between War and Peace
Before the USA invaded Afghanistan, they brokered a peace between India and Pakistan, so that tension between the two south-Asian nuclear powers did not break into open war and complicate the strike on Afghanistan in October 2001. Remember Tony Blair’s many visits to Islamabad and New Delhi, followed by those of Richard Armitage?
The before the Iraq attack was launched, there was a peace contrived between Israel and Palestinians, when Abbas and Sharon were forced to shake hands for the first time. This ensured that a flare up in Israel did not complicate the attack on Iraq.
Now the US is forcing a second peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Can this be a precursor to an attack on Iran.
Lets wait and watch.
North Korea’s Nuclear Challenge
And we hope the US negotiates with Korea on the nuclear issue and works out an alliance with China so that it could focus on the most dangerous enemy of humankind – Islam. Communism is past its prime and anyway it was not as dangerous as Islam, so we need to focus on Islam, while neutralizing Communist states like China, Korea and Cuba, if we cannot bring them into the Western alliance against Islam. A Communist-Islamic nexus is dangerous for the whole of humankind.

Where is the American Tsunami?
This article is not for the faint-hearted.
The coming of the Tsunami has distracted us from the war on terror, but can there be any connection between the Tsunami and the war on terror? Surprisingly so yes, let’s see how. The logic of war demands that any natural (or man-made) disaster has to be exploited against the enemy. Imagine, if a five hundred foot high mega Tsunami had started off in the mid Atlantic and had washed off a large part of the USA and Western Europe, along with a major part of our nuclear arsenal and military capability, as it lashed both shores of the Atlantic. Now also imagine that the Arab Muslim world had (as it perhaps has today or will have it in the not so distant future) enough nuclear arsenal to wipe out Israel, Europe and the USA. Would they send across Doctors and medicines to the devastated Western world or would they empty their nuclear arsenal to complete the job of destroying the Western world that the mega Tsunami had left half done?
The answer is obvious. What does a man-eater tiger do when the hunter trips falls and his gun slips from his hands. The man-eater tiger would sink its fangs deep into the hapless hunter’s neck and make a dinner out of him. So what should a hunter do when a tiger slips into a trap laid for him, or gets trapped in a natural bush (no pun here please) and gives the hunter an unique opportunity to put a bullet between the tiger’s eyes. A sensible hunter would do precisely that. But what do you say to a hunter who keeps aside his gun and tries to manfully help the tiger out of the trap that he has fallen into. Such a hunter is an inveterate fool.
Now what do you say to the Western countries who are helping the Muslims of Aceh to regain their disrupted livelihoods? We would say our administrations are making the cardinal folly of the hunter who has set aside his gun to save the tiger, rather than killing it.
Since this is a hindutva website and would be attracting many Hindu readers, did not your Sri Krishna, ask Arjuna to shoot the fatal arrow at Karna whose chariot had got trapped in the muck at the battlefield of Kurukshetra? This is precisely what the USA and the West should have done. Bombarded the survivors at Aceh till there were none and then gone over to take over Aceh, followed by the rest of Indonesia and Malaysia. Thus reducing the number of the enemies of humankind by these two Muslim nations. In fact if a Tsunami, or an earthquake, or a mega sandstorm strikes the Middle East, if the USA has survival instincts, it should capitalize on such a disaster and destroy whatever is left of the infrastructure in the affected areas and take over control by destroying the survivors entirely. This is what the logic of war and survival demands, when we are up against a beastly enemy – the Muslim Jihadis.
The other alternative is to wait for a window of opportunity to open up for a natural disaster to hit the West, which would be utilized by the Jihadis to the hilt to harm the West if not to deliver a final and fatal blow to us, that they are eagerly waiting to do and of which they have declared their intent openly in their slogan – Death to America.
So in our heartless but practical view we ask where is the American military Tsunami which is necessary to complete the work left half done by nature's Tsunami.
If readers do not agree, then pray please tell us if Sri Krishna was wrong in asking Arjuna to kill Karna?

An Agenda for President Bush for efficiently winning the War on Terror in his 2nd term Terrorize the Terrorists
Dear President George Bush,
Congratulations on achieving a much deserved win in the elections. Now President Sir, you need to give a fresh look to our strategy in the war on terror. So far our tactic has been to overpower regimes like those of the Taliban and Saddam in a conventional combat. The enemy stands no chance of prevailing against us in such combat. But once we prevail over the enemy, then starts the second phase of covert guerilla warfare where the enemy snipers and mortar gunners and shoulder fired stinger missile operators can pick up our marines one at a time at their convenience in an endless sniper war. No army howsoever powerful with conventional weapons using conventional war tactics can win such a sniper war. At this juncture when are about to repeat (after the 2004 Presidential elections) the same war strategy in Syria, Iran and then maybe elsewhere, it is high time for us to consider the other option – the Hiroshima option Had we not used this option by bombing Hiroshima and then after a few days bombed Nagasaki, the Japs may never have surrendered that fast and would have taken many more American lives. In today’s War on Terror, instead of sending our marines into Syria and then Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, etc to win a conventional war, only to be bled day by day in a sniper war as is happening in Iraq, we should use the Hiroshima tactic of picking off some cities in the target countries and then setting out terms of surrender to the target Muslim country:
The terms should include (among other terms) the following:
- Lay down your arms, by disbanding your army and police.
- Hand over all weapons to the allied forces at the borders.
- Give up Islam as your religion, and the Quran as your religious book and the Shariah as your lawbook; or else face more Hiroshimas.
- Demolish all your Mosques and Madrasas.
- Ban the use of Hijab, Chador, Burkha by females.
- Ban the wearing of religious caps and growing of beards (a la Ataturk) by males.
- Accept any one of the non-Muslim religions.
- Agree to establish parliamentary democracy and secularism.
- Any non-compliance will lead to more Hiroshimas.
This way we can win the war on terror by sending a minimum number of marines into hostile territory and taking only a minimum number of casualties. This tactic would also have immense psychological impact on the terrorists, since in spite of the contempt they have for life, they would be under tremendous pressure from their co-religionists to stop targeting the civilized world, since many more Muslims would die in retaliation. Only this can work, since the Muslims fear nothing other than overwhelming force. The history of Islam for the last fourteen hundred years since Islam was founded, is evidence of this.
Act before the Nuclearization of Terrorism makes the War on Terror a Nightmare
But we need to act on this pretty fast, before the Jihadis acquire nuclear capability, making the nuclear option useless. And future Nuclear terror attacks makes 9/11 seem like a dress rehearsal. While the right focus is placed on the proliferation of nuclear capability in Iran; not much attention is being paid to Pakistan. Today Pakistan has 30 nuclear warheads. If we wait for a few years, then this number will grow to 200 warheads and they would be dispersed in different countries in different hands, some of these hands would belong to the Al Qaeda. The Al Qaeda-Pakistan Army connection is not just a bogey. It is real. Some serving officers have been detained for having passed on critical information to the Al Qaeda. We also need to remember that when Musharraf was in the US, General Aziz, Gen Musharraf’s right hand man who brought him to power, had said that “America is Islam’s enemy number one.”
So we need to urgently and decisively act against all nuclear aspiring Muslim states, especially the only Muslim Nuclear power which has aggressively named its Atom bomb the Islamic Bomb – Pakistan. Unless we act before the Nuclearization of Terrorism makes the War on Terror a Nightmare, we shall unfortunately have to confront Jihadis having nuclear arms and have only the following two dead-end options:
- be prepared to either end up destroying all life on this globe fighting the Jihadis to death;
- or surrender to the Jihadis and accept Islam as the religion for the entire world!
Yes, we are well aware that our Hiroshima option suggestion will be censored by those many blind-to-reality liberals and those hand-in-glove friends of the Jihadis those defeated communists and discredited left-leaning liberals of the Noam Chomsky clan. But we can bypass their objections and set our determination to go about winning the war on terror with such daring non-conventional means – since we face a non-conventional enemy. Only such smartness and iron-will can break the Jihadis and the Islamic faith that represents their world view which is today shared by one billion and a half humans. The other option is a Vietnam all over the places we go – Afghanistan, Iraq, followed by Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia with an endless stream of body bags coming home and a clamor to end the war, with a prospect of losing the war on terror to a beastly enemy signaling the end of human progress and civilization.
Our current policy of sending in ground troops and policing the Muslim countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, once we have subdued the established governments, is fast proving to be a failure. The Jihadi snipers can pick our marines one by one at ease and bleed us as they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. While we foolishly spend billions of dollars in reconstruction of these countries in an effort to win their hearts and minds. Such reconstruction is meaningless since their hearts and minds are anyway turned against us in a civilizational divide that goes back to the foundation of Islam where for them, we are unbelievers and infidels who should be converted to Islam by force or be killed or be humiliated to be treated as dhimmis (second class citizens). The Jihadis care two hoots for reconstruction of Iraq or Afghanistan, in fact they want to disrupt this reconstruction effort and make a laughing stock out of us. The number of Muslims who support us is negligible, and they too are scared to death to openly support us. Till the beastly mentality of Islam is not eradicated, it is futile for us to spend money to reconstruct these countries. It is also futile to establish democracy and secularism in these countries till the temperamental core of these countries remains Islamic. The paranoid submission to religion that Islam demands alongwith the call of Jihad to convert the world to Islam, goes against the spirit of both democracy and secularism. The countries of the Muslim world that we overrun are not Germany or Japan after World War 2. The populations of the Muslim countries hate us in a civilizational divide dating back to the foundation of Islam. This was not so in the case of Germany or Japan.
We need to first. break the stranglehold of Islam on the minds of these people and this calls for iron-clad measures. Only after we are able to break Islam, can we start the reconstruction of the post Islamic ex-Muslim countries. Till then the smart thing would be withdraw our troops from Afghanistan and Iraq and not send any more in the Islamic crescent. And to give Iraq and Afghanistan followed by other Islamic countries the Hiroshima treatment, one after the other, till they either give up Islam or perish.
Safeguarding our rear by neutralizing the enemy within
But before we begin such action globally, we need to safeguard our rear, in our homeland. For this we need to take into preventive custody all those whose loyalties as Americans are suspect. All Americans of middle-eastern origin and all tourists and students of Arab and Muslim extraction, including all Arab and Muslims in our military, should be relocated into reserves to be kept out of harms way (i.e. to keep them from harming us). We know that this suggestion will draw explosive reactions, but we cannot fight a war with half-hearted measures. The enemy we have living amidst us today in the War on Terror is far unlike the Japanese Americans or German Americans or those locally bred Nazis of World War 2 vintage. The enemy living amidst us today is really malignant and malicious. Only with our rear safeguarded we can rest assured that we will not be stabbed in our back in our homeland with our bridges blown off, railroads messed around and subway stations gassed, while we pursue the war on terror across the globe. No amount of pacification and appeasement by declaring that “Islam is a religion of peace” and by visiting Mosques will help us in protecting our rear and flanks, when we start sending broadsides to hit our enemy’s jugular in the final struggle. Hence these iron-clad measures need to be taken before we start the final struggle. There are no soft options if we are to win against a beastly enemy. Please ponder upon this unorthodox but honest advice, Mr. President.
Yours Sincerely

P.S. : Looks like what we have recommended here has struck a responsive chord at the Pentagon. Recently an analysis of US war policy criticized a proposed Pentagon plan to use low potency nukes on enemy targets. Although the article is critical of the direction US policy is taking. We are heartened to note that the policy finally shows some sense in recognizing how a beastly enemy can be overcome.

How the bluff of Islam can be called, if we are to succeed in meeting the Muslim challenge to Human Civilization
All fanaticism is negative, all religious fanaticism is very negative and persistent – be it Hindu, Christian, Muslim or any other, and Islam is the most bloodthirsty expression of religious fanaticism; motivated as the Muslims are by the Instruction Manual of Terrorism – the Quran that has the ravings and rantings against the Kafirs (unbelievers) from the world’s most successful terrorist and the founding father of organized terrorism; Prophet Mohammed-ibn-Abdallah.
Reading about the Fidayeen attacks by Homicide bombers posing as a Jewish Rabbis, ordinary travellers in Jerusalem or as security guards and construction workers in Iraq, should be an eye opener at the Pentagon and the Oval office about the Muslim mind. The Muslim Homicide (or rather Genocide) Fidayeen bombers are now dead and so they can cause no more harm to anyone. This gives us insight into a morbid, but very real fact that – “A good Muslim, is a dead Muslim.” Many would recoil while reading such morbid-sounding statements. But all the Israeli schoolchildren and bus passengers killed were done to death by Muslims who also killed themselves in the bargain, the hijackers of the airliners on 9/11 could cause that apocalyptic destruction, because they too decided to die while killing others. Apart from 9/11, the Riyadh, Baghdad, Jerusalem, Casablanca, Karachi, Mumbai, Bali, Chechnya Bomb blasts ..and many more to come, all prove the same point.
A Muslim is in the business of killing – killing himself/herself while killings others of his/her species. If the human sanity is to survive Islam, then the bluff of Islam needs to be called. And it can be called only when Islam and all its believers face the threat and real prospect of being sent into the stillness of death. A stillness from where they could do no more harm to anyone else. In this scenario at times some innocents may get killed. Can’t help it when the scenario dictates that you either “kill or be killed”.
Those who want succeed in fighting the Jihad, have to out-match the boldness and paranoid commitment of the Muslims by declaring that their singular mission is to wipe out Islam from the face of this planet whatever that may cost in terms of human lives
And in this war, temporary setbacks to the Muslim Jihadis, like those in Afghanistan and Iraq serve no purpose, except for making them more wild and more willing to die while killing others. They are like man-eater tigers whom we Americans are merely wounding, but not hunting down. A hurt tiger is even more ferocious. So are the Jihadis. The point is to hunt down the Jihadis, so that they are dead meat, and so can harm no one any longer. They cannot be won over, their hearts cannot be won over. The only way into the heart of a Jihadi is to put a bullet into it! Till we Americans realize this bitter truth, we cannot win the war on terror.
We need to remember that the Muslims are audacious, they are paranoid, they are reckless, they don’t fear death, they seek it and welcome it, but only if they can kill others while killing themselves. They celebrate their own death and of their enemies, they rejoice at their enemy’s death and dance over their corpses. Islam is a psychological disorder from which one billion humans on this planet suffer. And so we need a doctor to perform the surgery to cut of this cancerous cyst of Islam from the body of global human society, or else the Human species will not survive as a civilized species.
The only way to defeat Islam is for its adversaries to outmatch the fanaticism, the audacity, the recklessness and the lust to kill that the Muslims have. Only a world leader who openly declares that it is his/her aim to destroy Islam worldwide by using thermonuclear weapons, can possibly strike terror in the minds (of the heartless) Muslims. Only he/she can defeat the Muslims, and deliver the human species from the paranoia of Islam. Yes, in Europe, there have been such leaders who came closest to defeating Islam. Leaders like Karl the Hammer who slaughtered two hundred thousand Muslim Arabs troops on the battlefield of Tours (Poitiers) 200 Kms. south of Paris, ending their Jihad in Western Europe in 732 C.E. and saved Europe from Islam. In Asia, there was Hulagu Khan who in 1238 sacked and burnt Baghdad to the ground after killing the Caliph alongwith the entire population of Baghdad, by putting the city to torch, bringing an end to the Islamic Caliphate. In normal times such persons cannot be role models for a civilized person, but these are abnormal times and do if we are to succeed in our mission to save Human civilization from the challenge of Islam, we need to destroy Islam, and for that unfortunately, we need to emulate Hulagu and Karl the Hammer (Charles Martel). In fact we need better their record by being even more efficient in the task, that they set about doing – since today our focus is global.
Yes this sounds morbid, but the alternative is our own destruction and the eclipse if not demise of Human civilization at the hands of the Muslims. For achieving this a determination to vaporize all forms of life across the Islamic crescent from Morocco to Indonesia is unavoidable. Not that one billion Muslims will have to be actually put to death (hopefully not), but only if such determination exists and is openly displayed, can we bring any sense into the minds of those of our species who operate at a beastly level. So we agree with our President George Bush when he says “we’ll hunt down” our enemies. If the enemy is a beast, then to save yourself you gotta be a hunter!
And unfortunately, if the Muslims persist in being paranoid killers that they have been for the last One Thousand and Four Hundred years since Islam was founded by the world’s most successful terrorist and the founding father of organized terrorism, the prophet Mohammed-ibn-Abdallah, then for the benefit of the rest of humankind, this determination would have to be acted upon up to its gory end. Our guess (and hope) is that once the Muslims see the determination in the rest of the world to destroy Islam whatever it has to cost in terms of human lives, can they sue for peace. And if they don’t, they will have to be sent into the stillness of death, so that the human species can once again pick up the journey towards building human civilization, in the post-Islamic phase of Human History.
We are told over and over again that the Muslims love death while killing others; and that they celebrate martyrdom while putting others to death. Great! Now it is high time for the rest of us to come together so that this death-seeking and death-glorifying bluff of Islam can be called by declaring that we intend to give martyrdom to all Muslims all over the globe. Islam that was born by the sword can go away only by the sword. Let’s see if all of them choose death or at least some of them choose to come to their senses. Either way the world stands to gain. We need to give them this hard choice if we are to succeed in meeting the Muslim challenge to Human Civilization.

What makes Muslims a criminal community?
A study of the Quran is enough to answer this question. This is what I read in the Quran In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful (sic)
"Do not take the Jews and Christians for friends" (Surah 5:51)
"..fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness" (Surah 9:123)
"..fight those who do not believe in Allah" (Surah 9:29)
"..and fight them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah" (Surah 8:39)
"..fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace" (Surah 9:14)
"..Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them" (Surah 9:30)
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" (Surah 8:12)
No wonder till people on this planet consider such an Instruction Manual of Terrorism to be the inviolable word of some god, we shall see people who are not just willing to kill, but wanting to kill those who do not conform to their world view. They can be stopped only if they are brainwashed out of this delusion or are stopped by some, rather ANY other means… as long as they are stopped. Any ideas on how to stop them from their perverted business of killing?

Now let's roll with Western Private Militias against the Terrorists...or should we??
We have had enough with the beheadings of Western Professionals who are in Iraq to help re-build that country. The beheadings of Armstrong and Hensley and many others like Berg, Pearl in the past is a harbinger of worse things to come in the Middle East. All American professionals, diplomats and marines are in danger of being hacked one after the other and all of them need to go on the offensive. The question is HOW?
There are thousands of Western professionals scattered all across the Middle East. In the given circumstances, we have two options. To cut and run, or take the war into the enemy camp. The time has come to think and act on unorthodox lines. Can we suggest that Western and more so American professionals should team up with US marines, diplomats and CIA operatives located across the globe and form informal secretive partisan cells to share technology selectively to cause napalm and scaled neutron explosions in the most notorious mosques across the globe during Friday prayers when most of the terrorists gather to listen to the incitement of the Mullahs? Can we suggest this?? Can we say that we need to get them when they are at the game of inciting and getting incited.
Can we say that in New York good targets to begin with are the Jersey City Mosque at 539 Bergen Avenue, the Islamic Center of Asbury Park at 209 Bond Street, the American Islamic Academy at 110 Harrison Street, Boonton, and the Masjid Al Haqq at 689 Springfield Avenue, Newark. And in London we can start with the Finsbury Park mosque of the notorious Muslim cleric Abu Hamza, the Brixton Mosque in south London whose imam Abdullah el-Faisal, was convicted of soliciting murder and three charges involving stirring up racial hatred. No way! So can we suggest that blowing up Muslim marchers in Western cities and also the peaceniks is also a good idea, can we ever suggest this?? No way. NEVER!
Can we suggest that it would be superb if our private militias succeed in blowing up the nuclear facilities at Natanz and Bushehr by teaming up with the Iranian student movement who are dead opposed to the Mullahs who are in the last stages of making an A-bomb.
We say this in desperation as we have so far have proved to be ineffectual in understanding the ghoulish aims of the enemies of civilization. We need to team up with Israelis, Serbs, and all others who have had experience with fighting Muslims in an unorthodox way and carry the war into the enemy camp. Can we dare to say that sympathetic officers in CIA, the Scotland Yard and Mossad can help out. In fact they can take the initiative in this, other volunteers would join in later. Can we suggest this?? No way! Can we say that private volunteers joining in would have to be fiercely committed to this cause and method. Can we suggest this?? No way! Can we say that they would need to be thoroughly screened and tested out for their will power before they can be deployed. Can we suggest this?? No way! Can we say that this is no game for the faint-hearted and lily-livered.
Can we suggest this?? No way! Can we say that we need to come up with ideas and deploy unorthodox methods that can work in taking the war into the enemy’s camp and put the fear of death in them too. NO WAY!
Can we ever say all this even in our dreams, NO WAY, WE CAN NEVER EVER SAY ANYTHING EVEN HALF AS DEADLY.But the fact is that what we have seen from 9/11/2001 till today is a "Phoney War" like the one we saw in 1939 and 1940, till the Nazis turned the Maginot Line and invaded France via Belgium and Netherlands. After all we know that appeasing the enemy will win us the war as it did World War 2, or did it?? Was the war won by the pamphlets that we threw to the Boches (the German rookies) manning the Seigfried Line, calling on them to stop fighting and make peace with the allies? Or did the D Day landing followed by our relentless march through France, Belgium into Germany culminating with the bombing of Dresden, win us the war?
Today we cannot as private citizens take the law into our hands. We need to wait till the necessary wisdom dawns on our leaders. Till then can we at least picket the mosques mentioned here (and others) on every Friday and tell the Muslims that we want them to ask their co-religionists to stop what they are doing. Ask them to stop their co-religionists from beheading us, after all we have better uses for our heads rather than providing them to the Islamofascists as targets to be sawed off, and then posting those gruesome videos on the internet. Let us do the least to take the message home to the world at large that we are annoyed, very annoyed at the beheadings.

Nuclear Terror Attack coming soon - The only question is when and where precisely?
The nuclear clock is ticking close to doomsday. This is no panic statement. The 9/11 Commission has said that the greatest failure that led to the 9/11 attacks was "a failure of imagination". Today we are witnessing a similar "failure of imagination" about the oncoming nuclear terror attack. If the US administration does not want to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities before the elections, the least it can do is to declare that a nuclear terror attack on the USA (or any other allied country) will be met by a severe nuclear response. This can at least deter the Islamofascist desperadoes and make them think twice of the devastation a US retaliation will cause, before they release the nuclear capability which they already have acquired.
__________________________
How America should respond to a nuclear terror attack on our Homeland
On Oct. 11, 2001, exactly a month after the 9/11attacks, a report by a CIA source, codenamed Dragonfire was submitted to President Bush. The report spoke about a 10-kiloton nuclear weapon that has been smuggled by the Al Qaeda into New York city and is being held to be used at a time considered appropriate by the terrorists. At that time this report was not publicized to prevent panic in an already traumatic situation. But responding to this piece of intelligence, the President sent off the Vice President Dick Cheney to an undisclosed location, to keep the administration running in case the administration was disrupted by a nuclear attack on either New York or Washington DC or both places simultaneously. Remember Dick Cheney joking with journalists that his cave was better than Bin Laden's. There was a serious truth behind that light-hearted statement, that the US administration had taken the nuclear threat from the Al Qaeda with deadly earnest.
That threat has never faded, in fact it has become more imminent today with the happenings in the Iraq and all over the Middle East. An article in the New York Times, asks "Could a Nuclear attack on America happen?"
Its answer is, "Unfortunately, it could - and many experts believe that such an attack, somewhere, is likely." The Aspen Strategy Group, a bipartisan assortment of policy experts, focused on nuclear risks at its annual meeting in New York recently, and the consensus was twofold: the danger of nuclear terrorism is much greater than the public believes.
According to the CIA, the weapon had supposedly been stolen from Russia, which indeed has many 10-kiloton weapons. Russia is reported to have lost some of its nuclear materials, and Al Qaeda has mounted a determined effort to get or make such a weapon. And the C.I.A. had picked up Al Qaeda chatter immediately after 9/11, about an "American Hiroshima."
President Bush dispatched nuclear experts to New York to search for the weapon and sent Dick Cheney and other officials out of town to ensure the continuity of government in case a weapon exploded in Washington instead. But to avoid panic, the White House told no one in New York City, not even Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
In addition to Dragonfire's report, similar reports - that Al Qaeda has its hands on a nuclear weapon from the former Soviet Union - have regularly surfaced in the intelligence community, even though such a report has never been confirmed. We do know several troubling things: Al Qaeda negotiated for a $1.5 million purchase of uranium (apparently of South African origin) from a retired Sudanese cabinet minister; its envoys traveled repeatedly to Central Asia to buy weapons-grade nuclear materials; and Osama bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, boasted, "We sent our people to Moscow, to Tashkent, to other Central Asian states, and they negotiated, and we purchased some suitcase [nuclear] bombs."
William Perry, the former American Secretary of Defense, says there is an even chance of a nuclear terror strike on America in the near future. "We're racing toward unprecedented catastrophe," Mr. Perry warns. "This is preventable, but we're not doing the things that could prevent it." The White House has insisted on tackling the most peripheral elements of the W.M.D. threat, like Iraq, while largely ignoring the central threat, nuclear proliferation. The upshot is that the risk that a nuclear explosion will devastate an American city is greater now than it was during the cold war, and it's growing.
The question now is how do we prevent an attack. And even if succeed in preventing the first attempt, how do we ensure that the attempt will not be repeated, as it surely will be. The enemy we face is a determined one. It made the first attempt at blowing up the WTC in 1993, and when that attempt failed, it tried once again at the same target, on 9/11, this time with success. If we succeed in thwarting the first attempt, that would be real good. But what next. Will the enemy stop in its tracks? No way. The enemy fights us as a matter of faith. Their Instruction Manual of Terror (the Quran) asks them to wage unrelenting war against us unbelievers in a endless global Jihad. 9/11/2001 is just the date on which the jihad made a Grande Entree into the American homeland. The Jihad had reached Europe much earlier and had been first turned back at the battle of Tours in Central France in 732 and later at Vienna in 1699. Failure for the Jihadis is just a blimp on their relentless march against us infidels. They will come back again, and again and again, till either we or they cease to exist. So our success in thwarting their first nuke attack, would mean only one thing, the enemy will strike again, only the time and place would be uncertain. How do we face up to this scenario.
Our history tells us "One who pulls the trigger first, lives." So in this scenario, pulling the trigger first would mean: We should give up our fixation that the aim of the war effort is to keep the oil flowing to our gas stations by securing the oilfields and the pipelines, nor should we be hamstrung by the fiction that we can win over our enemy the Muslims - all of whom consider the Quran to be the word of God and the Quran tells them to wage everlasting war on us. This would make our nominal allies like King Fadh, King Abudullah, Prez Mubarak also our enemies along with Saddam and Osama. Since all of them uphold the Quran and the Quran asks them to wage everlasting war on us. During World War 2, we Americans never tried to win over the Nazis. And the attempts by the British Prime Minister Chamberlain to appease the Nazis only made them more defiant and hold the Western allies in contempt. Only when we started to speak with them in language of carpet bombs and land assaults did the Nazi threat come to an end. We need to do the same with our enemy of today - the Muslims. Bring an end to all of them. This will sound an over-simplification to most readers. But think about it. How many Muslims want a rapprochement with us and want to share a milti-cultural world? How many of them allow multi-ethnic and multi-religious societies to exist, how many of their countries are democracies, how many of them are pacifists, how many of them want to use science and technology for the general benefit of humankind? This is a measure of how low the Muslims are on the scale of being human.
As against all this, how many of them hold a grudge against us and do not condemn the 9/11 attacks? How many of them defend the 9/11 attacks by saying that there are roots causes for the attacks and that we are to blame for these root causes like not allowing the Arabs to destroy Israel? How many of them take to the streets to trample on the Stars and Stripes? How many of them cry "Death to America"? How many of them burn effigies of our President? And how many of them are plotting in sleeping cells to launch the next Jihadi Bloodbath against us? This is a barometer of their hatred for us. The only reason why they have not yet harmed us the way they would like to is that their hatred for us is not matched by their capability to harm and destroy us. That is our only saving grace. This is why all of them have not yet taken up arms against us. Once they have the capability, there will be nothing to stop them from destroying us, since they already have the will to destroy us, as sanctioned by their Quran. So what option do we have in this scenario. And how do go about saving ourselves from destruction at the hands of those who are straining on their leash to devour us? Only a leader who can be the destroyer of Islam and the killer of all Muslims can be a savior of humankind. And this leader will have to go about a strategy that would have the following broad outline for its success with minimal loss of American lives:
Today's strategy of sending in ground troops leads to many American casualties and fatalities; and after winning a conventional war against the enemy, tying down our troops to re-build their countries is foolish and only strengthens the enemy and leads to an unending list of casualties by sniper fire, roadside bombs and suicide bombers. So we need to make our present strategy stand on its head by doing the following:
- Withdraw all American business persons, professionals and all other non-combatant personnel from all Muslim countries.
- Next, withdraw all American diplomatic and consular staff who need to be retained in the first stage for processing the papers of all other non-combatants who leave.
- At the next stage withdraw all American defense personnel and infrastructure, destroying that infrastructure that cannot be relocated.
- Stop the immigration of Muslims into America, expelling all those who are here on a H1 and L1 visas (Students and Professionals).
- Those Muslims who are American citizens or Green Card holders and who cannot be deported, should all be taken into preventive custody, and held in detention camps as we held the much less dangerous Japanese Americans during WW2.
Needless to add that the present Presidential system and the existing legal framework would have to be suitably changed to accommodate these measures. We are living in conditions of war and peacetime laws cannot meet the situation we face today
Once this is done the second phase of the strategy can begin with a pre-emptive missile assault on enemy targets (of all Muslims nations, starting from the most belligerent) to take out their nuclear and conventional military capability, telecommunications infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, going down to civilian targets as the operations progress. The primary condition for stopping our military operations has to be a complete and permanent repudiation of Islam by all Muslims. Failing which an attack that would begin with MOABs and Daisy Cutters should progress to using Nuclear Hydrogen and Neutron payloads on the missiles that would land on enemy territory.
We need not have qualms while doing this, since the enemy would do this to us if and when he can. The only thing that stops him from doing this today is that he does not have the capability to match his will to destroy us. And the cherry on the pie lies in the very curious fact the destruction of Islam has been foretold in the Quran itself which says:
"There will come a day when there will be no one on earth to say; 'Lah Allah il Allah Mohammed Ur Rasoolallah' ('There is no god but allah and mohammed is his prophet')."
Needless to tell you that if the inhuman and subhuman creed of Islam is not brought to a complete and permanent end, human civilization has no future. The devilish creed of Islam has to be checkmated, reversed and rolled back to Mecca and buried into the stillness of death from where it will never ever arise to torment humankind again. It is up to America to deliver humankind from the threat of Islam by saving itself and saving the rest of humanity from doom. Can the US rise to the occasion before it is too late?

Rise Russia Rise - The savagery with the school kids of Beslan demands retribution
Russia’s heart is bleeding, The dead, wounded and traumatized school kids of Beslan tell us that. This calls for retribution. This is not the time for inaction in the name of patience or forbearance. Russians and especially their leaders, need to revive the spirit of their ancestors who drove out from Russia the Mongol Tartars of the Golden Horde and saved Europe from the Mongols, Russia needs to revive the spirit of the doughty Cossacks who drove out Napoleon and of those brave partisans who drained out Hitler’s Nazis in the snows outside Moscow to defeat and destroy Nazism completely.
No one came to Russia’s aid in all these three defining moments in its history. Ancient Rus fought alone, it fought bravely and fought successfully, always taking the fight into the enemy’s territory and destroying the enemy in the enemy’s home. Russian troops entered the Mongol Tartar heartland and tamed the barbarians by bringing civilization to Central Asia from where the Tatars had invaded Russia. Russian troops ended the Napoleonic invasion by reaching Paris and they also ended Hitler’s savage attack by plunging the Russian army into Berlin.
Today Beslan is a challenge to the Russian spirit. Russia needs to awaken its spirit if it is to save itself from further savagery. Russia can do it, and Russia can do it alone as it did with the Tartars, with Napoleon and with the Nazis. The Tartars were defeated by Russia absolutely single-handedly, while in the war with Napoleon and with the Nazis too, the Western allies came into the picture after Russia had defeated the invader on Russia's home ground single-handedly.
Likewise today Russia needs to act single-handedly and take the war into the enemy’s home. If the Arabs can attack Russians in Russia, then Russia needs to attack Arabs in the Arab world. We Americans have been pusillanimous so far at least. We have made a poor showing till today in Afghanistan and Iraq. Russia needs to take the lead in the war on terror from now onwards – America and the West will follow as Waterloo (in 1815) followed Borodino in 1812 and Normandy (in 1944) followed Stalingrad in 1942.
Russia needs to start with a target, which the Americans will not crib about. If Russia attacks Saudi Arabia, American oil supplies will be affected and upset the faulty American game-plan of ensuring that oil keeps flowing to the west while grappling with the terrorists and their sponsors in the Middle East. Russia may not want to attack Iran, because of Russia's strategically wrong relations with the Mullahs in their (Iran's) quest for nuclear capability. So given the compulsions of the ground situation today and Russia’s interests and the possible American response; Russia can at least start with crashing missiles into a target that the Americans would find acceptable while also making an example of the Arabs.
Now hold your breath – Russia can safely crash a nuclear tipped missile into Damascus. A couple of million deaths in an Arab capital, should send in tremors down the spine of all those who distribute candy whenever the terrorists succeed in their murderous designs. America also should also not mind that in the war on terror, the nuclear button is first pushed by Russia; an inheritor of the mantle of its Cold War enemy - the USSR. Unless Russia takes the war against terror outside Russian borders urgently, it cannot deliver the needed message to the terror masters in the Middle East. Russia needs to rise and needs to make one capital in the Arab world into a nuclear wasteland, with a warning that the next Beslan will bring Russian nukes crashing on the next Arab capital. The Arabs can keep guessing, which of them will be the unlucky one next time around. This will have an electrifying effect on the USA and the West. Les miserable Francais (the French Government) will whine, the Germans will crib, even the British could wring their hands and the USA would wonder how to take the initiative in the war on terror back into its hands. This might stir the USA and UK into action by following up on the Russian lead and the whining French with their allies would be left with the only option of thumping the lecterns at the UN General Assembly. But the world would be on the path of being saved from the beastly terror that is today writ on the traumatized faces of the school kids of Beslan.
Rise Russia Rise, you need to save yourself and also arouse America in the process, while saving human civilization from the worst barbarism of all times - the Islamic Jihad, which if not challenged in the language of blood and death, will soon move from Beslan to Bradford to Boston to Beijing and to wherever else it can dig its dirty fangs.

Under what circumstances can the USA lose the War on Terror to the Jihadis
A crazy question any reader would say. The USA, the strongest power on earth, losing to a bunch of disorganized, although highly motivated thugs! Hah! Impossible! But before we endorse this obvious judgment, let us for a minute take a look at how the Jihadis have made true their word on impending attacks. In 1993, after the abortive first attempt on the WTC, one of the terrorists Ramzi Yousef said to his captors that next time around the WTC would not survive a Jihadi attack. And so it did happen that on 9/11/2001, the WTC did crumble in face of the second Jihadi attack!
Another instance is the Madrid Train bombings. The Spanish Govt had been given due warnings by the terrorists. In October 2003, five months before the Madrid train bombings, assassins shot a Spanish military attaché in Iraq, José Antonio Bernal Gómez, near his residence; in November, seven Spanish intelligence agents were ambushed and murdered south of Baghdad. Photographs of the killers standing on the agents’ bodies circulated on Islamist Web sites. Another Internet document soon appeared, titled “Message to the Spanish People,” signed by the Information Commission for the Help of the Iraqi People (Department of Foreign Propaganda), which threatened more attacks. “Return to your country and live peacefully,” it demands, or else “the battalions of the Iraqi resistance and its supporters outside of Iraq are able to increase the dosage and will eclipse your memory of the rotten spies.” True to their word the Jihadis carried out the Madrid train bombings five months later.
Even in history, the Jihadis back in the 7th century when they started the Jihad had challenged and openly threatened empires far stronger then the fledging Jihadi forces. Empires like the Persia and Byzantine. The Jihadis overcame both of these through daring attacks. While Persia fell in seventeen years from 634 to 651, Byzantine fell after eight centuries from the first attacks on it at Yarmuk in 637 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The reason for this delay was holding of the Jihadis at the Cilician Gates in southern Asia Minor (Turkey) up to the 10th century and later the intervention of the Crusades. But in spite of this Byzantine also fell to the Jihadis, who after that reached Vienna in the 17th century.
What is the lesson from all these ancient happenings in the 21st century? One may say all this is irrelevant. The USA is the sole Superpower today and can destroy the world seven times over. Oh yes it can, but what if Jihadis get hold of enough nuclear ammo to blow all State Capitals in the USA simultaneously along with all capital cities in Europe?
A preposterous scenario, you would say! Oh yes, it does sounds preposterous even to the authors of this piece. But then we have poured over the history of military tactics of the Jihadis over the last fourteen centuries which have been made more supple, stealthy and surreptitious in the 21st century by the, miniaturization of nuclear technology (suitcase bombs) facilitated by globalization of banking networks that make money laundering easy to finance these nefarious operations and the easy availability of nuclear building blocks from the remnants of the former Soviet Union.
Before we could dismiss the Jihadis boast that they would soon speak the Language of Blood with Europe and USA we need to very seriously consider their advise to the Muslim citizens of Europe and USA to return to Muslim countries to save themselves from attacks that would make 9/11 eclipse from memory. This certainly is no empty boast, given the track record of the Jihadis and it points in the direction of a devastating surprise in store for us in the West. 9/11 was a trailer of the attacks to come and in spite of Homeland security and the new Intelligence Super-Czar that the President is to create in light of the 9/11 Commission’s Report, we are ill-prepared to face the next Jihadi blood bath.
All indications point to a devastatingly large and geographically spread out attack that would be carried out in Europe and the USA by the thousands of sleeper cells that are quietly preparing to unleash their murderous designs on us. We need not be deceived once again by the fact that American citizens of Middle-Eastern origin, have merged perfectly into American society. We need only to remember that the 9/11 hijackers had families on whom they doted, were members of health clubs, visited pubs and night clubs and nobody could ever raise even half an eyebrow to suspect what they were about to do. If we today continue to live in a fool’s paradise about the innocuousness of Arab –Americans, then we would be inviting a calamity on ourselves. A nuclear 9/11 would burst on us any day. The only difference would be that it would happen simultaneously in all major American cities (and perhaps European Cities as well) . Unless of course if we rise to the occasion, put all Arab-Americans of Muslim extraction under observation in reserves (as we did with the much less dangerous Japanese-Americans in WW2), and launch a pre-emptive strike against all Muslim nations. Is that too much to ask to save ourselves from annihilation?

With the Beheadings of foreigners in Iraq showing the true fangs of the Jihadi terrorists, we need to use some psychological-operations against them. The only way these god-crazy lunatics can be stopped in their tracks is by putting the fear of god (sic) into them. Although god is a creation of human imagination, these god-driven psychos - the Jihadis, will respond only to severe measures like forcibly making them stomp over the Quran with their feet, while they are alive, smearing pig's fat on their bodies, stuffing their their mouths with bacon and ham, and pouring wine into their mouths; and after they are disposed off, burying them with their feet towards Mecca where lies buried allah, the Satan of the Pagans.. This method needs to be publicized, to deter other Jihadis. This technique can be implemented by an informal agency without involving the marines or any official agency to prevent the predictable uproar from the Jihadis and their clients - those decadent Communists and peaceniks.
This would - in the crazy logic of the Jihadis ensure that they do not reach heaven (Jannat). We know this sounds crazy and barbaric. But then we are dealing with those who glorify death while killing others and can only understand this language. If readers find our suggestion to be Mad enough, they may send in suggestions which could be as effective to break the morale of the Jihadis.

The greatest tribute to Ronald Reagan lies in pointing out the difference between Ronnie and Dubya
Ronald Reagan called a spade a spade, he minced no words to call the Communist bloc an "Evil Empire". George Bush is yet to call the Islamic bloc an "Evil Empire". To defeat an enemy you need to be loud and clear why you are opposing him, and words should reflect this outlook to pursue your enemy’s destruction relentlessly, as they did with Ronald Reagan.
Had Ronald Reagan been President on 9/11, the history of the War on Terror would have been different. In our view, within 24 hours of 9/11, the cities of Kandhar and Kabul would have been reduced to radioactive wastelands by Ronald Reagan, or even we guess by Bill Clinton. That would have been a fitting punishment for the Jihadis and their one billion and a half silent supporters, their co-religionists. But rather than doing this, immediately after 9/11 Dubya visited Mosques and declared "Islam is a religion of peace" (sic). What signals did that convey to the Jihadis - that the USA is scared of them and that they can re-enact another 9/11 using WMDs without risking devastating and immediate retaliation from the USA.
The democratic Presidential nominee John F Kerry or JFK for short has not yet made the mistake of declaring that "Islam is a religion of peace". We hope that if he is becomes the next occupant of the Oval Office, he goes back to the policy of crashing Cruise missiles into terrorist bases and cities, but this time with nuclear payloads. We for one, till now, favored George Bush, but are now wondering if JFK would in fact be a better option for a more resolute continuation of the war on terror.

President Bush - Please attack Iran by all means, but treat Cuba and North Korea with kid gloves
Through a spokesman, you have made a laudable statement saying that Iran would be attacked. Kudos to you. But you have also said things to this effect about Cuba. The Bay of Pigs days dear Prez are over. Today our enemies are not the commies, but the Jihadis. We should not allow our focus to get diffused. So we say, attack Iran by all means, but treat Cuba and North Korea with kid gloves.

Can the US Military take over the conduct of the War on Terror from the US Government?
Seems like an absurd question obviously from an amateur agent provocateur. A statement that will be dismissed with all the contempt it deserves. The writers of this piece would have also thought this way on reading such a statement, had it not been for the conduct of the war on terror over the last two years and especially the apologetic noises emanating from the White House and White Hall about the Abu Ghraib events. Yes we too were suitably scandalized when we saw the images. But then we are at war, and everything is fair in love and war, especially so when we are dealing with an enemy who uses foul means like abduction of civilians, slitting of throats, maiming, roasting alive, all of which is sanctioned in their “Holy Book” when fighting us unbelievers. Apart from this, their “Holy Book” also recommends stoning to death and amputation of limbs, even during peacetimes. Things are going to get worse for the Western world as the weeks and months roll by in the war against terror. The bestiality of our ghoulish enemies is going to be increasingly appalling and, every squeamishness on our part will be interpreted as our weakness.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was right when he said two years back that the unlawful combatants from the ranks of the Al Qaeda who had been captured in Afghanistan would not be eligible for the terms of the Geneva Convention. Yes indeed, and how do those who follow the same Al Qaeda outlook in Iraq suddenly become eligible for the Geneva Convention? The Geneva Convention is relevant for conventional soldiers who fight a conventional war and themselves observe the rules of the Geneva Convention for their POWs. Does the Al Qaeda adhere to the Geneva Convention? An absurd question! We know what they did to Daniel Pearl the WSJ correspondent in Pakistan. We know what they did to the American Contractors at Fallujah. We know what the suicide bombers do in Israel. We know the track record of the Jihadis for the last one thousand four hundred years. Theirs is a murderous mentality driven by their “Holy Book” the Quran, which can aptly called the Instruction Manual of Terrorism.
In face of such a beastly enemy, it is suicidal for us to feel apologetic about the mistreatment of Jihadi prisoners. Some readers may say that after all the prisoners at Abu Ghraib are civilians. We need only to remember that during World War 2, we had to bracket ordinary Germans with the Nazis and treat them likewise, as we did during the carpet bombing of Dresden. We also need to be relentless in waging an ideological war by condemning the Quran outright as we condemned the Mein Kamph. The Mein Kamph was followed by a few hundred thousand Nazis, but the Quran with all its murderous injunctions is not just followed, but is held sacrosanct and inviolable by a billion and a half Muslims. We need to be bold to condemn the Quran rather than parroting the foolish and self-deceiving broken record that “Islam is a religion of peace”.
The Bush administration has been singularly pusillanimous, (with the possible exception of Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney), in displaying iron resolve in fighting the War on Terror. The Democratic wannabe, John Kerry, promises to be no better, if no worse – hopefully! Every sign of weakness on part of President Bush and Colin Powell, emboldens the Jihadis. We are not serving our cause, by being so abysmally apologetic with the events at Abu Ghraib. Rather, when the Abu Ghraib photos were released, we should have said that we shall spare no means to break the “will to kill” of our enemies. This would have earned us the respect of our allies and the fear of our enemies.
We are sure that the powers that be in the armed forces of Western countries are watching the failure of the democratic system in saving Western civilization from the Jihadi threat. We know that General Tommy Franks, the liberator of Iraq and Afghanistan, had said that a WMD attack anywhere in the West, could lead to the American Constitution being suspended and the militarization of the USA. We guess and hope that other minds in the Royal (British) Armed Forces, the French, German, Spanish and other Western militaries are also thinking on these lines, to save the civilization which they are honor bound to defend from the mortal threat that it faces today from the Jihadis. It increasingly appears that the only savoir of Western societies are Western Militaries. And Western militaries can operate unhindered, only if the slow moving democratic form of government is temporarily suspended in favor of a military command driven form of administration. This need not startle us, since even in a normal wartime situation, all civil liberties, and peace time procedures are suspended. The situation in the unconventional War on Terror, is also a war-like one. And one like which we have never fought ever before. So we need a leader who could combine the qualities of Peter the Hermit and Richard the Lionheart to lead modern-day Knights to victory over the enemies of not just Western Civilization, but enemies of all humankind and of all human progress. We hope sagacious minds like those of General Tommy Franks, take the lead to lead us to salvation from the Jihad.
The confining of President George Bush to the Air Force One aircraft and of Vice President Dick Cheney to the Underground Mountain bunker on 9/11, was one thing which should have been continued after that fateful day and all decisions of the war should have been taken by a Military Council, only to be announced to the media by a President, commandeered by the military. Can the American Military rise to this call of duty, sometime soon in the interests of saving Civilization?

Can Western Democracies win the War on Terror
This question came to mind when we heard President Bush apologizing for the actions of the American wardens at the Abu Ghraib prison. Surprisingly, even the iron man Donald Rumsfeld was apologetic. The USA cannot be led by such attitudes. Decisive and ruthless commitment won us the War of Independence, the Civil War and World War 2 – symbolized by Hiroshima. It was with this decisive ruthlessness that the Wild West was tamed taking our frontiers from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Pusillanimity is not going to take us anywhere in the war on terror, especially at a time when the Jihadis are poised to launch a nuclear attack on us. The Black Dawn exercise at Brussels simulating a post nuclear attack scenario is only a harbinger of the state of things to come in real life, someday.
At such a juncture we need a single-minded handling of any situation. We are in the midst of a war of a type that mankind has never seen before. In this war either it will be complete victory for Western civilization or a return to an endless Dark Age under the victorious Muslims. In this context, the diffident behavior of Bush and Rummy bring to mind the question raised by none less than General Tommy Franks that if the United States is hit with a weapon of mass destruction that inflicts large casualties, the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government.
We are not wanting to sound alarmist. But there have been events in history where the Muslims have defeated armies and nations that were far more powerful than them. It happened with the defeat of the (pre-Islamic) Meccans at the Battle of Badr by a handful of Muslims from Yathrib (the pre-islamic name for Medina), and again with the defeat of the Christian Byzantines at the Battle of Yarmuk by the Muslim Arabs in 636 and yet again with the defeat of the Persians at Qadisiya by the Muslims in 637. These victories opened up North Africa, Europe and Asia to the Muslim hordes.
What has driven smaller compact Muslim armies to victory over their larger and ponderous adversaries is their cruelty without compunction or compassion, and a fanatical rather bloodthirsty zeal to vanquish their enemy. All of this was pitted against adversaries who followed the rules of war, respect for sparing the lives of non-combatants, and a general humane approach even during warfare. This led to a string of defeats of the Byzantines, Persians, Visigoths, Chinese, Hindus and Berbers at the hands of the invading Muslims.
And now we see history repeating itself, with the apologetic American (and British) response to the Abu Ghraib events. We have started having serious doubts whether we have the right form of Govt that can deliver us victory in the War against a beastly enemy. The time is fast arriving, when we need to ask ourselves; Can Western Democracies win us the War on Terror? A question that has also been posed by none less than General Tommy Franks
The usually camera-shy Franks retired from U.S. Central Command, known in Pentagon lingo as CentCom, in August 2003, after serving nearly four decades in the Army. Franks earned three Purple Hearts for combat wounds and three Bronze Stars for valor. Known as a “soldier’s general,” Franks made his mark as a top commander during the U.S.’ successful Operation Desert Storm, which liberated Kuwait in 1991. He was in charge of CentCom when Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda attacked the United States on Sept. 11.
Franks is the first high-ranking official to openly speculate that the Constitution could be scrapped in favor of a military form of government.
Discussing the possible dangers posed to the U.S., Franks said that “the worst thing that could happen” is if terrorists acquire and then use a biological, chemical or nuclear weapon that inflicts heavy casualties.
If that happens, Franks said, “... the Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we’ve seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.”
Franks then offered “in a practical sense” what he thinks would happen in the aftermath of such an attack.
“It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.”
Franks didn’t speculate about how soon such an event might take place.
So the point now is do we wait for doomsday to strike us or do we take pre-emptive measures and suspend the niceties of peacetime laws of human rights for wholesale murderers like the Jihadis, civil liberties for criminals convicted in the war on terror and lodged at prison camps like Camp X-Ray (Gitmo Bay) and Abu Ghraib? In a war situation, a federal emergency needs to be declared suspending all peacetime laws and a new war-driven constitution needs to be brought into effect. The alternative is defeat and a travesty of all times, at a cost that humankind can ill afford to pay – a Muslim victory over Western Civilization. AMEN!

The Abu Ghraib events
We too were disturbed to see the pictures of the happenings of Abu Ghraib, and so we need to look into the root causes of these happenings. This follows the same logic, which the Arab media wanted us to look for the root causes for 9/11 and eliminate those “root causes”. The “victims” of Abu Ghraib” come from the same mindset as do those who defiled the mortal remains of American contractors at Fallujah. For all the revulsion that the treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib has caused, surely it is much less horrendous and blood-chilling than that of those who burnt the American contractors, dragged their corpses through the streets and then hung them up from the girders of the bridge at Fallujah, for all to see. Yes two wrongs do not make a right, but then the fact remains that the prisoners of Abu Ghraib were not innocent angels, they were convicts and those who shared the mindset of the beastly specimens at Fallujah. And if the convicts at Abu Ghraib had been in the position of jailors and wardens and the Americans had been the prisoners, then the treatment which the Americans would have got would not be much different from what their compatriots got at Fallujah! This is our smart guess.
And if we consider the track record of the Muslims in treating the defeated non-Muslims; it is appalling. And it is so, not just during ancient times, it is so even today. And it is so not just with the non-Muslims, but also amongst Muslims themsleves. We need to remember how Saddam treated prisoners at the same Abu Ghraib prison and how convicts are stoned to death, and have they hands cut off, wherever the Shariah (Islamic penal code) is implemented.
Now to the root causes as to why Muslims treat non-Muslims and dissenting Muslims in an appalling manner. The reason lies in the Instruction manual of Terrorism, - the Quran, which all Muslims adhere to and which calls for torture to be applied to non-Muslim (Kafir) prisoners till they accept Islam. And in Muslim eyes, all Kafirs are criminals since they do not submit to allah. We need to understand this root cause for Muslim barbarism, which in turn invites the retaliatory barbarism as seen in the case of the American wardens at Abu Ghraib.

Moderchai Vanunu - the modern-day Judas
Vanunu, the Israeli nuclear technician who betrayed Israeli nuclear secrets to outsiders, wants Israel to give up its nukes, he wants UN to send inspectors to Dimona? Why Israel? Has Israel used its nukes on anyone else (in spite of sufficient reason to do so in 1971). Has there been a Chernobyl in Israel? Has Israel been immune to terrorists attacks, which may someday turn nuclear if the Al Qaeda and Hamas get their hands on dirty nukes or suitcase nukes? Vanunu (Yossi Beilin and many traitors like them who infest the Israeli Labor Party and the Shalom Achshav - Peace Now - movement) need to be behind bars for endangering the security of Israel. Vanunu should thank his stars that he is an Israeli, so that today he can walk free in Tel Aviv. Had he been an Iraqi under Saddam, his family would be laying flowers at his grave.

The logic of collective punishment for the collective crime of terrorism
Israel deserves kudos for giving the capital punishment to the Hamas gangster Rantisi. Israel should now carry the war to the next level by strafing the funeral processions of the slain terrorists. When Israel does this, there will certainly be an outcry against the unjustified collective punishment and collective assassination. But we need not worry about this. When there is a collective crime with crowds howling for Jewish (American and all non-Muslim) blood, the response of collective punishment is the only justified and practical one for our self-preservation from the murderous Jihadis.

'I Hereby Offer Europe a Peace Treaty' - Osama Bin Laden’s first Hudna aiming at a European surrender to Islam
"The door of peace will remain open for three months from the broadcast of this statement. Whoever rejects the peace and wants war should know that we are the men of war, and whoever wants a peace treaty and signs it, we hereby allow this peace treaty with him.
- Osama Bin Laden
In the text, what needs to be noted is Osama’s boast that “we are the men of war”. We need to realize that men of war never seek peace, they always seek war. And only if they are unable to fight the enemy, then they make a provisional peace, which in Islamic parlance is termed ‘Hudna’. The prophet of Islam, Mohammed-ibn-abdallah - the founding father of terrorism. had himself started this tradition with the treaty of Hudaibiya which was a tactical peace offer to his adversaries who were more powerful than him. They unfortunately fell for his bait. And he held on to this treaty, only till his power grew, after which he overwhelmed his enemies by violating the treaty, attacking them and giving them a choice of converting to Islam or facing persecution and tyranny.
Osama is following the same illustrious example of the founding father of terrorism, Mohammed-ibn-abdallah the prophet of Islam. In the unlikely event of the Europeans falling to Osama’s bait and pulling out troops from Iraq (and other Muslim countries), Osama’s offer would only be the beginning of threats which he would hurl at them. Threats which would become more and more humiliating and atrocious. Ultimately Osama (or any other mad-mullah who takes his place) will ask them (and the rest of the non-Muslim world) to submit to Islam or face a Muslim attack. This is what the prophet Mohammed-ibn-abdallah - the founding father of terrorism, had done with the Persian Sassanian Empire and the Christian Byzantine Empire. The Europeans need to remember this history of Islam and the notoriety of Muslim psychological terror tactics, of which Osama has fired only the first salvo with his “offer of peace” from “the men of war”.

How the Jihadi Insurgency in Iraq can ominously take not just Iraq, but the entire Middle East into a vortex of Islamic insurgency
The key to this happening is ironically equally divided between the rebellious Sunni triangle of Iraq; and its increasingly turbulent Shiite south; and ironically also in it's the relatively stable Kurdish north, the area where American policy has been most successful. If you're a Kurdish leader in northern Iraq watching the mess unfolding in the rest of the country, the questions increasingly running through your mind would be: How long before we Kurds give up on a united Iraq and choose independence? Why stay part of Iraq and risk being drawn into the out-of-control maelstrom overtaking the rest of the country?
And if Kurds break away from Iraq, that would enrage Turkey, which fears that an independent Iraqi Kurdish state would attract its own 12 million to 14 million Kurds. Iraq's fragmentation also would prove that Washington's vision of a united and democratic Iraq was a pipe dream. A restive Turkish Kurdistan, could strengthen Islamist forces in Turkey, destabilizing Turkish Democracy and weakening the secular traditions of Kemal Ataturk, pulling Turkey even further from the possibility of EU membership, giving rise to the demand for an Islamist Turkey, if not, hopefully, for a revival of the Khilafat (Caliphate) abolished by Kemal Atraturk in 1920. A Turkish civil war on the lines of what happened in Algeria cannot be ruled out entirely.
Coming back to Iraq, for the Kurds of Iraq, after decades of torture, mass executions, forced relocation and chemical attacks by Saddam Hussein's monstrous regime, the Kurds today have a chance to chart their destiny. So far, they have followed the American script. But today there are three possibilities:
- an Iraq convulsed by violence for years to come;
- a Shiite-dominated Iraq; or
- an Iraq that fragments.
The first possibility could unleash Islamist forces in Saudi Arabia (and also in the Gulf countries, Yemen, Egypt, Libya), inviting greater American involvement for stabilizing the Saudi regime with limited intervention in Egypt and elsewhere.
The second possibility of a Shiite-dominated Iraq, would strengthen Iran, inviting an American pre-emptive strike on Iran after the American Presidential elections leading to further convulsions in the wider Islamic world, especially in Pakistan.
The third possibility of an Iraq that fragments, is equally perilous, since it would destabilize Turkey. The increasing upheaval we see today makes it increasingly necessary to contemplate all the three possibilities; all of which translate to one eventuality – a Middle East in ferment. And to be buried in this chaos will be the rubble of America’s blueprint for a democratic Iraq that was to transforms the Middle East's landscape into a benign democratic zone. In this scenario, increasing American boots in the theatre of war would be self-defeating and lead to greater American casualties.
What may work is far too ruthless to contemplate – to re-enact what the allies did in Dresden in the closing years of the World War II – but would America be ready to go for this option, unless by then the Jihadis succeed in launching their much vaunted nuclear strike against the West, that they boast will upset the balance of power and re-define the parameters of victory and defeat for them and for the West. A boast yes, but not empty enough to prevent millions of civilian deaths in the West, and devastating enough to enrage the democratic world to carry the war on terror to a successful finish at a cost in terms of human lives that has become unimaginable since the days of Hiroshima.

The Fallujah murders and maiming, and the beginning of Jihadi insurgency in Iraq
The Fallujah Carnage speaks for the kind of enemy we are up against - savage, inhuman beastly. When are we gonna start to hunt them down as Prez Bush promised after 9/11? Till we show our mettle, the enemy will keep making a mockery of us and murder Americans.
Why is "shoot to kill" a legitimate option in war, as in Fallujah
Even in peacetimes, the law says that murder (or even culpable manslaughter) calls for capital punishment. So it is futile to debate if murderers like Sheikh Yassin, or Jihadis of his ilk deserve to be given the capital punishment. And since they cannot be arrested to be given the Lethal Injection or brought to the Electric Chair, it is but natural "to bring justice to them, if they cannot be brought to justice", to use our President's phrase. And in a war situation as exists today in Iraq (both in the Sunni and Shia areas), an enemy combatant has to be dealt with accordingly. If he/she cannot be captured, and poses a risk to an American marine, the enemy combatant has to be shot at, and depending on the situation also shot dead, since he cannot be made prisoner. So where is the need for the American forces to baulk, and hold their fire when tackling the murderous Jihadis?
And to the question, what are the Americans doing in Iraq, the answer is making the world safer place by fighting you Jihadis in Fallujah and Najaf, rather than in New York and Washington.
We need to learn from Israel and do a Sheikh Yassin of all the Jihadis
Israel needs our admiration for the guts it showed in doing away with Yassin. Guts which we had during our cowboy, Wild West days and which we need to re-learn now. The Sheikh was a killer and led a killer pack. He deserved to be killed. Israel would now have strafe the murderous mobs that throng the streets of Gaza and Ramallah that bay for more Israeli blood. Only this language can make sense to these brutes - be they in Gaza or Fallujah.

India needs to act smartly and dispassionately, with the USA making Pakistan a Major Non-Nato Ally (MNNA)
There is more to it than meets the eye for this American decision. Ayman Al Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden and others are hiding in Pakistan, not in India. So the USA needs Pakistan to catch Ayman Al Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden and others. It does not need India to do this. The USA needs to catch Ayman Al Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden and others before the US Presidential elections. So the need is pretty urgent. India needs to understand the American need, especially that of President Bush in view of the elections.
The best bet for India is to grin and bear it. And to play along with the circumstances, India can compliment President Musharraf for manfully cornering the Al Qaeda leader Ayman (or whosoever it is in that Waziristan enclave). India can also lend moral support to Musharraf in his war on the Al Qaeda and in the process achieve both embarrassment for Musharraf and further anger the Al Qaeda against Pakistan. This is India’s best bet in the given circumstances.
And going by the MNNA status, it means nothing much. Israel does not have it while Thailand does. The MNNA tag is meant to bring in more marginal countries into giving men and intelligence for the War on Terror. And at the present juncture, it is Pakistan that can play a stellar role by capturing Ayman, Osama, Mullah Omar etc, i.e. if the treacherous Pakis really do hand over these star Jihadis to the USA. Chances are that the Pakis will play a double game and not handover any of these to the USA, they may give in some small fry to the US, but Uncle Sam will be left in the lurch as far as the Big Fish are concerned.
Even if we assume that Musharraf really wants to hunt down Ayman for the statement he made against Musharraf, Pakistani troops, especially the ones on the lower rungs of the Pak army have strong sympathies for the star Jihadis. So the US game-plan could come unstuck. But anyway by holding the carrot of MNNA status before Pakistan and alternating it with the stick of secret admonitions for nuclear proliferation; we need not try too hard to guess who is being made an ass! India’s time to partner tangibly with the USA will come – but it needs to be patient and play along for the time being. Long term interests of both the USA and India, demand this from India.

A question to the Socialist victors of the Spanish Elections
With the Victory of the Socialist opposition in Spain, the talk is about bringing home all the Spanish troops from Iraq. The blame for the train bombings in Madrid is being laid on the Spanish policy of joining the USA and UK in the fight against Islamic terrorism.
The socialists need to understand that even if they withdraw from the anti-terror alliance, Spain (and the entire Western world – in fact the entire non-Muslim world) will still be attacked by the Jihadis. The Jihadis are not attacking you because you are in the alliance, but because they are told by their Instruction manual of terrorism – the Quran – to attack you! And attack you they will, even if you withdraw from the alliance.
You need to remember the famous quotation "When they (Nazis) came for the democrats, I did not speak out against the Nazis; When they came for the socialists, I did not speak out against the Nazis; When they came for the Jews, I did not speak out against the Nazis; When they came for me, there was nobody to speak out against the Nazis for me!"
If you Socialists think you can buy peace with the Jihadis, then you are living in a fools paradise. This may stave off attacks for some time, but the Jihadis will attack everyone eventually, be you a capitalist, imperialist, socialist, communist or anyone else…they will attack you as long as you are not a Muslim. The best bet for the socialists to prevent attacks on Spain is to convert all Spaniards to Islam - are you socialists willing to do that to prevent further Jihadi attacks on yourself (in Spain and wherever you rule)?

Why states sponsoring Islamic Terrorism will not fall like dominoes the way Communist states fell
Neo-cons draw comfort in the idea that once democracy is established in Iraq, it will be followed by the dictatorial regimes falling one by one and be replaced by popular governments. Did it not happen in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania and the former USSR? Yes it did. But there is one essential difference between communism and Islam. While communism was not an emotive paranoia as Islam is, it was also limited to the members of the communist parties, of which only a small fraction was die-hard. The rest of the communists were camp followers. Vladimir Putin and Boris Yelstin were also communists when communism was ruling. But once cracks appeared in Communism, they abandoned their nominal creed and joined the forces that took communism to is grave.
This is not going to happen with Islam, since the emotive grip of Islam is firm on the minds of a billion and a half of its followers. Muslims will not abandon Islam for whatever reason, as Communists abandoned communism, once states sponsoring communism started withering. And with Communism the reason for commitment was logical - although the logic was faulty. With Islam it is pathological and paranoid enough, to drive its followers to die while killing for the sake of killing. This is THE reason, why the Muslim populations in the Islamic dictatorships or Islamic monarchies will not fall to the lure of democracy - if and when one is established in Iraq. The earlier the Neo-cons realize this and go for the root of the enemy’s outlook - Islam, the nearer will we be to winning the war on terror.

How Pakistan qualifies to be a Trojan Horse in the War on Terror
This is how:
By being the first Muslim country to have an Atom bomb and making its proclivities about the Bomb clear by naming it with its religion - The Islamic Bomb.
By proving itself to be the proliferator of Nuclear capability to other Muslim countries.
By being the country to give asylum to Al Qaeda's Osama Bin Laden - America's enemy number one.
Pakistan has been working against the interests of the USA since the end of the Cold war. Apart from building up the now deposed Taliban regime, it has provided Al Qaeda with its recruits from the thousands of Jihad preaching madaresahs in Pakistan.
With 9/11, this game was called off with the American ultimatum to Musharraf. With a reversal of policy, started Pakistan's double game of making a show of supporting the US War on Terror while trying to undermine it through proliferating nuclear capability to the enemies of the USA like Iran, North Korea and Libya. Its offer of nuclear technology to Saddam's Iraq is documented in the evidence found in Baghdad by American forces. With the option of supporting the Taliban and Al Qaeda openly, being shut down by the US ultimatum to Musharraf, the Pakistani regime started off with the other option of proliferating nuclear capability to America's enemies.
Whatever Musharraf may say today, it is a fact that the Jihadi movement developed further under him. The Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) was founded when he was in power. The JeM was founded openly at Karachi by Masood Azhar who was released in exchange for the passengers the Indian airliner hijacked to Kandahar by the Al Qaeda in December 2000. It was during Musharraf's regime that the Jihadis openly started collecting funds at Pakistani Petrol Pumps and other public places. The American ultimatum after 9/11 closed all this and so had to be replaced by something more sinister - nuclear proliferation was this sinister Pakistani option. Where the Musharraf regime erred was that it wanted to keep helping the Jihadis secretly while making show of supporting the USA. It was this show of support to the USA, that brought the ire of the Jihadis upon Musharraf and led to the failed assassination attempts on him. But while the world is swayed by these sensational assassination attempts on him, we would tend to overlook the more sinister and infinitely more dangerous role of the Pakistani regime of nuclear proliferation. All the protestations of 400% guarantees on part of Musharraf against Pakistani nuclear proliferation are a sham and if we believe him, we shall be bringing peril on ourselves.

Nailing Musharraf's Nuclear Lies about Abdul Qadeer Khan
Mr. Musharraf you say "If the USA had shared with me Abdul Qadeer Khan's activities in advance, I could have taken action and many things that happened, would not have happened." And on the other hand you also say "I was suspecting Khan for the last three years." So which of these statements is true? That you knew that Khan was up to something suspicious, or that since the USA did not tell you anything, you knew nothing of Khan's activities?
And if you were already suspecting Khan for three years, how come you did not get on to Khan's activities as we Americans did? And why did you not try to stop Khan? Now Mr. Musharraf, at least after the USA has shared with you all of Khan's doings, what have you done about that? You have pardoned Khan, allowed him to keep his ill-gotten wealth, said that he is a National Hero. Is this what you would have done had the USA shared with you info on Khan, in advance?
Come clean Mr. Musharraf. Only after Khan threatened to reveal everything that you browbeat him to make a public confession, absolving you and others. And you have the cheek to say that the USA should have taken you into confidence, you an accomplice to nuclear proliferation! Mind you Mr. Musharraf, the USA knows your role in this and we are not nailing you and your country immediately, since we need to maintain the status quo, till our Presidential elections are through. Since we do not want a messy Pakistani campaign (in addition to the Iraqi campaign)on our hands in the few months between us and the elections
Once the elections are through, the USA will come back to you giving you another ultimatum like the one Colin Powell gave you on the 12th of September 2001, "Are you with us or with the Terrorists". And you chickened out. You also have chickened out with the Indians on Kashmir, No longer do you call the Kashmir Jihadis as "freedom fighters". You have a record of chickening before American pressure, after trying to pull wool over our eyes. This time we Americans will ask you "Are you giving up Pakistan’s nuclear assets to us as South Africa and Kazakstan did, or are you not?" We will not even ask you "Are you opening up your nuclear facilities for inspection", as we (through the IAEA) have asked Iran and Libya. Since we know that Pakistan not only has nukes but successive Pakistani governments have proliferated nuclear capability to states like Iran and North Korea who are wanting to destroy our country. The Libyan dictator chickened up on seeing Saddam’s coming out of the spider-hole and he spilled the beans on Pakistan.
We have been keeping tabs on KRL (Khan Research Labs) since many years, so we know the extent of Pakistani involvement in the proliferation game. And in this game. Khan is only a mask, the real face is that of the Pakistani ruler, which happens to be you at present (we don’t know for how long though). All of your predecessors starting from Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Zia-ul-Haq, Nawaz Sharif and now yourself have been the secret initiators of the proliferation game. And you yourself are a past-master at this game, the way you smartly organized Kargil against India. So we trust your ability to manage such secretive games.
"Pakistan is America’s next Target." - Pervez Musharraf
You are normally on your guard about what you say. But once you had let down your guard before the American liberation of Iraq and had said that Pakistan could be the next American target. You were so prophetic, Mr. Musharraf! Yes Pakistan would be the next American target in the War on Terror, but not for now till the our Presidential elections are over. Till then you have breathing space. Try some new tricks Mr. Musharraf and see if you can save your skin before then by taking Osama Bn Laden’s advice by "transferring enough dough to Swiss banks and fleeing after handing your country to the Hindus", before we get you or before the Jihadis get you. Only till then are we going to pretend that we have bought your act of injured innocence in the game of nuclear proliferation.
We Americans know the truth and you also know we know it. Time is running out fast for you Mr. Musharraf. Only for the time being we will play along with you to say to the world that we are satisfied at your pardon to the proliferator of nuclear terrorism, and that we consider the nuclearization of the Jihad by a Pakistani to be the internal matter of Pakistan. Don’t be naïve enough to believe this Mr. Musharraf. C’mon Mr. Musharraf, we Americans don’t take the security of our Homeland that lightly!

Why is the USA soft-pedaling Pakistan's nuclear proliferations?
The US military in Iraq has found written evidence of correspondence between A.Q.Khan and Saddam Hussein's regime in which Pakistan's Khan had offered to build Iraq's nuclear capability after the first Iraq-USA conflict in 1990. But in spite of such damning evidence, the USA is soft-pedaling the issue with Pakistan. Here is the catch! The USA's soft-pedaling of Pakistan's nuclear proliferations today has more to it than meets the eye. The USA has its compulsions on Musharraf. It does not want to rock the Pakistani boat so strong that Musharraf sinks before the November 2004 Presidential elections in the USA. Saving Musharraf - a leader who feigns support to the West, while wanting to stay in power by not ruffling the Jihadis is the fulcrum of American dilemma today. The Khan revelations come as a jab on Musharraf's bottom. But the USA cannot jettison its frontline ally immediately. So the US is working through the IAEA, whose Mohammed El Baradei has said that Khan's revelations are a tip of the iceberg. Colin Powell has also asked for explanations from Musharraf. Hence the USA is working on this quietly.
But the USA's plans would have to be re-hauled if a coup overthrows Musharraf or if he is assassinated before the US Presidential elections. Then the US will then have to move in to secure Pakistani nuclear assets without further delay or launch a pre-emptive attack on Pakistani nuclear assets to destroy them, before they fall into the hands of Pakistan's Jihadi generals. If the USA falters in doing this, it would turn out to be its most fatal and costly mistake in the War on Terror.
America Wake up now, before it is too late - this is your last wake-up call!
When state and non-State actors acquiring nuclear capability from Pakistan use it against the USA one day, in an act of nuclear jihad which they have vowed to wage against it, it would be too late even for another wake-up call. Large parts of the USA would have been destroyed and millions of its citizens sent to their eternal sleep.

The alternative to the War on Terror is simple: A Dirty Nuke (or proper Nuke) attack that makes 9/11 kidstuff
So the peacemongers say that Saddam didn’t have WMD. Conversely, Colonel Gaddafi did. And hands up anyone who knew he did until he announced he was chucking it in. The only way you can be absolutely certain your intelligence about a dictator’s weapons is accurate is when you look out the window and see a big mushroom cloud over New York, London, or any city in the Dar-ul-Harb (non-Muslim world).
You can try and stop it day by day at the gate at Heathrow or Orly or Newark, but, even if you succeed, you’ll bankrupt the world’s airlines. That's why you have to go to Iraq, to Afghanistan and onwards to Syria, Iran, Sudan and so on.
More to the point, it’s in alliances of convenience between the dictatorships and freelance terrorist groups and the peacenicks of the leftist variety, that the true horrors lie. The Left is remarkably nonchalant about these new terrors. When nuclear weapons were an elite club of five relatively sane world powers, the Left was convinced the planet was about to go ka-boom any minute, and the handful of us who survived would be walking in a nuclear winter wonderland. Now anyone with a few thousand bucks and an unlisted number in Islamabad in his Rolodex can get a nuke, and the Left couldn’t care less.

Proliferating Nuclear Terrorism - The snake's head has been found, what next?
Top Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan is the main suspect in a two-month investigation into allegations that individuals passed on Pakistan’s nuclear weapons secrets to third countries.
Seven suspects are still under investigation, but senior former military and intelligence officials who experts say must have known about Khan’s activities are not being questioned.
Putting Khan on trial is a sensitive issue in Pakistan, where he is revered as a national hero and the father of not only the country’s, but the Islamic world’s atomic bomb.
He (Khan) has admitted these things, said a military official on condition of anonymity, referring to allegations Khan peddled nuclear secrets to Iran, Libya and North Korea during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
It has yet to be decided whether he goes on trial or not.
And Khan has now turned around and implicated the Paki General Staff. His charges are absolutely true as is evident from the following sequence of events:
- Former Pakistani President, Zia-ul-Haq gave the go ahead to co-operate with the Mujahedin fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. This started Pakistan's nexus with the world of the global Jihad.
- General Mirza Aslam Beg and Benazir Bhutto initiated the nuclear co-operation with North Korea.
- General Jehangir Karamat made sure that the deal went through
- Pervez Musharraf himself approved of the Sale of Nuclear technology and Missile Technology to Libya, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Remember the Saudis visited Pakistani nuclear facilities in 2003?
So everybody is neck deep in trouble and no one wants to take the blame. And Musharraf is lying through his teeth as usual when he says that he does not know what was going on.
The whole Paki nation has now become the laughing stock of the world. The hatred towards Musharraf increases with every passing day in Pakistan. Pakistan would eventually disinstegrate.
What India should do now
India on it part should never bow to pressure for talks to diffuse the Kashmir issue. India should keep playing the waiting and postponing game. It suits India very well. At the same time India should use every opportunity to make a lot of noise about infiltration in Kashmir and refuse to negotiate with Pakistan. The enraged masses of Pakistan would support some jihadi general in deposing Musharraf and eventually an Islamic government would be installed which would be anti American.
That will make the Americans see the true face of Pakistan as a dangerous proliferator of nuclear terrorism. Then Americans will not have a second choice when dealing with Pakistan. They will have to move in to take out Pakistan's Nuclear facilities. Once this has been done, and the Pakistani serpent has been de-fanged, the job becomes easier for the Indian Army, Airforce and Navy to move in for the kill with a ground, air and sea assault across Pakistan to decimate the first nuclear nation in the Islamic crescent and make the world a safer place.
And we believe that the USA has also already started a secret airlift of Pakistani nuclear components from Pakistan, going by the reports of US transport planes landing and taking off from Islamabad airport every night.

Defeating Islamic extremism in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is a bigger strategic challenge for the United States than finishing the wars in Iraq, according to the U.S. commander in the region.
General Abizaid said; "If I were to tell you that the two most immediate problems that we have to deal with right now are stability in Iraq and Afghanistan, I would also tell you that the two broadest strategic problems we have to deal with ... happen to be Pakistan and Saudi Arabia,"
Earlier this month he met with Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who has survived two recent assassination attempts and earned high praise from U.S. officials for helping run down members of al-Qaida. Adding to the importance of assuring Pakistan's stability is the fact that it possesses nuclear weapons.
Abizaid is responsible for U.S. military operations in a vast region from the Horn of Africa and the Persian Gulf to Central Asia and Pakistan. Saudi Arabia has managed for years to keep a lid on extremist violence, but Abizaid said he believes the Saudis now realize they must change.
Of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, he said, "They are going to be tough fights in both places."

Iraqis whisper of revolt while Americans prepare to stay put in Iraq till 2006
Whispers of "revolution" are growing louder in Baghdad this month at teahouses, public protests and tribal meetings as Iraqis point to the past as an omen for the future.
Iraqis remember 1920 as one of the most glorious moments in modern history, one followed by nearly eight decades of tumult. The bloody rebellion against British rule that year is memorialized in schoolbooks, monuments and mass-produced tapestries that hang in living rooms.
Now, many say there's an uncanny similarity with today: unpopular foreign occupiers, unelected governing bodies and unhappy residents eager for self-determination. The result could be another bloody uprising.
"We are now under occupation, and the best treatment for a wound is sometimes fire," said Najah al Najafi, a Shiite cleric who joined thousands of marchers at a recent demonstration where construction workers, tribal leaders and religious scholars spoke of 1920.
The rebellion against the British marked the first time that Sunni and Shiite Muslims worked in solidarity, drawing power from tribesmen and city dwellers alike. Though Shiites, Sunnis and ethnic minorities are rivals in the new Iraq, many residents said the recent call for elections could draw disparate groups together. A smattering of Sunnis joined massive Shiite protests last week, demanding that U.S. administrators grant the wishes of the highest Shiite cleric for general elections.
Grand Ayatollah Ali al Husseini al Sistani has been unbending in his demand for direct elections instead of U.S. plans to select a new government through caucuses. At the request of L. Paul Bremer, the American envoy to Iraq, and several members of the U.S.-appointed Governing Council, the United Nations is sending a team to Iraq to study the feasibility of holding elections in time for the transition of power this summer.
Sistani's representatives expect widespread civil disobedience and violence if elections are deemed impossible.
Yaser al Hamdani, a 28-year-old tribe member whose great-uncle fought in the revolution of 1920 against the British, said he'd give up his job in the steaming bakery for a rebellion.
"Of course I would join," Hamdani said. "There would be bloodshed along the way, but sacrifice is important for success."
Against this background, the US Army's top general said Wednesday he is making plans based on the possibility that the Army will be required to keep tens of thousands of soldiers in Iraq through 2006.
Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, the Army chief of staff, told the House Armed Services Committee that "for planning purposes" he has ordered his staff to consider how the Army would replace the force that is now rotating into Iraq with another force of similar size in 2005 - and again in 2006.

Islam and peace are incompatible
Bush claims that Iraq can be a democratic country. WRONG! we have the proof that it's impossible!
Islam is today being portrayed as a peaceful and tolerant religion. History proves otherwise! Though there were certainly periods of relative tranquility and tolerance, minorities and non-Muslims have always been prosecuted under Islam. In fact, Islamic ideology is based upon an intense hatred of the non-Muslim. For Muslims, there exist two kinds of non-Muslim enemies... kafir (non-believers in Islam) and ahl al-kitab (People of the Book). Kafir, such as Buddhists and Hindus, must either convert to Islam or face execution. People of the Book include Jews and Christians. These people need only submit to Muslim authority (called Shariah) to avoid forced conversion or death. Although they may keep their original faith, their status becomes dhimmi (a "protected," yet inferior non-Muslim status). So instead of outright forced conversion or slaughter, the Christians and Jews would be allowed to remain somewhat unmolested as long as they acknowledged the superiority of the Muslim. However, as 100,000 dead Lebanese Christians and Israel's beleaguered Jewish population have discovered over the years, these guarantees have proved worthless! Islam, as a religion is militant and violent. Muslims are anti-non-Muslims and it is for the non-Muslims to listen to them and to submit to them and convert to Islam. Otherwise, there is war. This has become a global issue today. A worldwide war of civilizations seems to be staring us in the face today. It would be sensible to be prepared, proactive and pre-emptive.

Syrian and Iranian interests in destabilizing Iraq
With the increasing number of Syrians and other non-Iraqi fighters being apprehended and killed in Iraq, it is certain that the Baathists are no longer the main movers behind the increasing number of attacks on American troops. The baton has gone to different hands. Many of us fail to see the undercurrent to the increasing disturbances in Iraq - It is the growing terror attacks in Iraq, which have provided some breathing space to Syria and Iran and even to Saudi Arabia. As long as American hands are tied down in Iraq they would not turn the focus on Syria or Iran. And with Iraq being demonstrated as a case where American action fails to bring in stability, the stronger is the case to counter American action in Syria, Iran or later in Saudi Arabia. The unseen hand of these countries through their intelligence agencies in collaboration with not just Al Qaeda and Ansar-al-Islam, but with the faceless jihadi flotsam has a vested interest in keeping Iraq on the boil by night, while pretending to fight terrorism by the day and pull wool over American eyes.
So it is evident in whose interests it would be to keep Iraq on the boil and make it increasingly uncomfortable for the Americans in Iraq?? Obviously Syria and Iran primarily and also Saudi Arabia and other GCC (Gulf Co-operation Council) states . We Americans better keep this angle in mind when countering terror in liberated Iraq.

Has a Countdown begun for the next Arab-Israeli War - After Syria, Will Israel Hit Iran and eventually Saudi Arabia?
Now that Syria has become the first anti-terror target to be hit, will Iran and Saudi Arabia be next in line. Especially with President George Bush saying in front of the global media that; “Israel has a right to defend itself and it need not feel constrained while doing that.” And with Sharon taking cue and declaring that “Israel will strike its enemies anywhere with any means”, things seem to be ominous. This time around with an Arab-Israeli war being a part of the War on Terror, things will be much different from 1967’s Six day war or 1973’s Yom-Kippur War. This time, Israeli and American armies would move in a co-ordinated manner against Syria, Egypt and Iran, with Israel picking off select targets in Saudi Arabia. We Americans would not want direct involvement in the Hejaz (Saudi Arabia) initially and use the Israelis to test the waters before we finally take over the Hejaz peninsula. The Israeli action could start off with Iran. This would include an Israeli strike on Busheher and Natanz Nuclear sites in Iran followed by a full-fledged air and ground assault against Lebanon and Syria.
The ace question is of Pakistan. In a scenario when the entire Middle East is in flames, what will this only nuclear Islamic nation do? Enter the fray against the US? Or to deflect attention, attack India? This doomsday scenario may seem to be a farce today, but in the months to come it would become a reality. And what could bring this scenario nearer depends on what the Jihadis do till then with a dramatic terrorist attack anywhere in the Dar-ul-Harb (non-Muslim world).
While on this we need to know that a CIA report on threats in Iraq has identified Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria as the leading supporters of the Sunni insurgency against the U.S. military. The report asserted that the three countries have contributed insurgents and funding to a range of groups, including al-Qaeda and Hizbullah. The CIA report has marked the first time when Saudi Arabia has been specifically identified as a supporter of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq.
In the light of this, we can expect Israel to take action against terror targets like Saudi Arabia and Iran. And in a few months time we shall see Israeli planes flying over Tabuk, Riyadh, Dhahran, Mecca and Medina.
And just mark our words: Even, if the Israelis wait for too long, tempered by calls for restraint from the Oval Office, the Mujahids of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, egged on by the Al Qaeda infiltrators, are not going to similarly wait. They will give Israel the causus belli by a spectacular attack on the Knesset or by blowing away the Wailing Wall. Israel better be ready to take the quantum jump that will take war into the next phase.

After Iraq what and where?
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has set the stage for the next stage of the war against terrorism by sounding a note of caution to Syria and Iran who have surreptitiously started sending clandestine arms shipments into Iraq. “The consequences will be serious” says Rumsfeld. And they better be if we are to overcome a determined and paranoid enemy whose nationality is not limited to Iraq.

Pakistani Intelligence hand behind 9/11
According to a recent Fox News report, the FBI has found military and financial links of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) with the 9/11 attacks. According to the FBI, the ISI has also been supplying WMDs to the Al Qaeda and has helped Iran's nuclear program. It is only a matter of time before the whole story of Pakistan's role in militarily and financially sponsoring the hallmark terror attacks of 9/11 is brought out in the open. The FBI report is only the tip of the iceberg. There is more to it than meets the eye. Going by the signals coming from the White House, after Iran and Syria are tackled, the war against terror is going to move towards its military kingpin – Pakistan, and thereafter to its ideological kingpin Saudi Arabia. The Pakistani dictator Musharraf has read the American mind, when he said some days back that after Iraq, the US will turn to Pakistan. The FBI report reinforces what Musharraf said and is an indication of the shape of things to come. The future is gonna be interesting - keep watching.

The War that has started in Iraq can end only when we plant the Stars and Stripes over the rubble of the Kaaba
Seeing the video footage of the two British servicemen who were assassinated by the now defeated and dissolved Saddam’s murderous military and the news of our own marines being subjected to physical torture was an eye opener. So far we have heard over here, news about Islamic armies torturing captured POWs by cutting off their ears, noses and even penis and stuffing them down the victim’s throat. These are the less gruesome methods employed! Yes we’ve heard that the Fidayeen also stuff boiled eggs into the private parts of captured female prisoners, rejoice over the deaths of their adversaries and dance over their dead bodies!
The barbarity and depravity of our enemies, the enemies of humankind is sickening. Pardon me folks, with this kind of an enemy facing us, and the rage that it is fuelling against us on the Arab street, my guess is that the war that has started in Iraq can end only when we plant the Stars and Stripes (and the Union Jack) over the rubble of the Kaaba at Mecca. …Howsoever, long that may take, as President Bush said at Camp David in the august presence of our guest, friend and ally Prime Minister Blair. Our advice is that we do not require more troops to be sent to fight the war on terror, but more hellfire with MOABs Daisy Cutters and soon with thermonuclear weapons. If we do not make these hard choices fast enough, the going will be very hard and very, very costly for us in terms of the lives of our servicemen. Let us repeat that this war which has started in Iraq can end only when we plant the Stars and Stripes (and the Union Jack) over the rubble of the Kaaba at Mecca, “where lies buried Mahomet, the devil of the infidels” (to use the phrase of a 15th century Portuguese historian). Hoisting the Stars and Stripes at Umm Qasr was only a beginning.
War on Terror - Humanitarian Crisis and Inhuman Creeds
With footage of injured and dead civilians being shown on all news channels the natural human revulsion against suffering will manifest itself in the civilized world and will lead to an even greater clamor to stop the war on terror. In the Arab and Muslim world these shots of human suffering will further fuel Muslim rage against the West. And naturally so, when those dying and suffering are Muslims and Arabs. The story would have been different if say we Americans had been behind the recent slaying of 24 Kashmiri Hindus at Nadimarg near Srinagar. A preposterous statement you would say, why should Americans kill innocent Hindu Pandits in Kashmir. What have the Hindus done to us Americans? It was not the Hindus who brought about 9/11. Oh yes it was not the Hindus who could have done any such thing as 9/11, nor would we Americans kill innocent Hindus. But can the Muslims do a 9/11 and can they also kill innocent Hindus. Why ask such a question when we all know that the Muslims have committed these two crimes and countless others ever since the world’s most widespread and long surviving cult of violence unleashed itself on the world from Medina 1400 years back.
So how justified were we Americans when there was unintended collateral damage in the form of civilian deaths when we went about a pre-emptive war against the a cruel despot who has used Chemical weapons in the past and will do so again in the near future? History will decide that. History will decide how much violence can a law enforcing agency use to subdue lawlessness in the world. Suffice it to say here that when we squirm in our drawing rooms when seeing the images of the suffering civilians in Iraq, let us remember that those who brought about 9/11 and those who killed the Hindu Pandits in cold blood belonged to the same religion, same culture and same mindset as the suffering Iraqi civilians. And had it been possible these very suffering civilians would have been the cause of our suffering had they not been neutralized in the pre-emptive strike that we recently witnessed in Iraq and which we will witness in different swathes of the Islamic world in the months and years to come.
Let us not lose sight of this overall picture and remember the track record hatred, violence and bloodshed of the Islamists whenever they had the upper hand, those black deeds which they will do once again when and if they get a chance in the future. The world better be prepared to bear to the sights of those suffering Iraqis, or else we ourselves will have to suffer at their hands and there will be nobody to weep for us when and if this unlikely scenario happens. We say unlikely because the world is now awakening to the terror that Islam is all about.
Why is a Cruel Dictator like Saddam so popular in the Muslim world?
Did you ever wonder why a Cruel Dictator like Saddam is so popular in the Muslim world? The answer is people admire another person if they share something with the person they are admiring. Any average practicing Muslim is as cruel, as close-minded, as fanatical and as prone to terrorize others as is Saddam Hussein (or Osama, or Hafez Assad, or any one from terror organizations like the Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Tanzim, Hezbollah). The civilized world better wake up to this reality, since today one fourth of the human population is under the spell of the cult of paranoid violence named Islam. And this is the reason why scientists, painters, doctors, nurses, or any peace-loving person is never a hero in the eyes of the Muslims, but tyrants like Saddam and murderous maniacs like Osama are role models for an average Muslim. Hence today they are rooting for Saddam from Indonesia to Pakistan to Egypt. Moral of the story : Most Muslims are basically like Saddam and Osama.
Why are WMDs dangerous when they are in Saddam’s hands but harmless when they are with Sharon, Bush or Blair….. or for that matter even with Putin, Jiang, Vajpayee or Chirac?
The WMDs themselves are not dangerous by themselves, it is the mindset of those in whose hands they reside is what makes them dangerous or otherwise. Saddam and Khameini, (or Musharraf, and god knows how many other Muslim despots) have WMDs. Muslims are the most violent specimens of religious fanaticism. This is not to say that fanatics of other religious persuasions are angels. The trident wielding Hindus who force others to chant “Jai Sri Ram” and those deceptively humane looking but paranoidly insistent Christian missionaries out to harvest the souls of the pagans, are other specimens of negative and socially destructive human behavior. But all said and done they are far less dangerous than the bloodthirsty Muslims who are out to terrorize the world into submission to Islam. And so WMDs in the hands of those with an Islamic mindset is what makes the WMDs dangerous.
A fanatic belonging to any religion may appear to be human in his/her physical form, but all of them have the temperament of wild animals. The way a wild animal attacks and kills its adversary, the most violent among the religious fanatics will go to the extent of killing another person, if he/she does not agree to convert to the religion of the fanatic. Needless to tell you that the most Vicious among the religious fanatics call themselves – Muslims. And what Saddam has in common with Musharraf, Prince Fahd and the Ayatollahs - is Islam; something which Saddam does not have in common with Ariel Sharon, George Bush, Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin, Jiang Jemin or Jacques Chirac – although all of them have WMDs under their control.
The Real WMD is the mind of the Theology-inspired Terrorist
While there is and will be talk of finding the WMDs, we say that it is this Instruction Manual of Terrorism that has made the mind of every practicing Muslim a Weapon of Mass Destruction! A weapon that the free world cannot allow to cause further destruction. Yeah all fanatics are bad enough be they Christian, Jewish, Hindu or Communist. But then a Muslim is programmed to be the most violent and cruel among all in addition to being the most well organized globally into terrorist networks lavishly financed by petrodollars.
We in the Western world and the coalition forces better realize real fast that we are up against a beastly enemy who has no qualms for foul methods of warfare.
Has the Muslim concept of war changed since the days of Mohammed?
The need of the hour is to realize that while our methods of warfare and outlook towards life has undergone a sea-change since the Crusades, that of our Muslim adversaries is still very much the same as it was during the days of Prophet Mohammed. But even so, we cannot expect our forces to emulate what our ancestors did during the crusades when combating this enemy. In those days, in exceptional circumstances of food shortages, enemy combatants were devoured - fulfilling a dual purpose of slaying the enemy and making him the source of physical sustenance for the Crusader army. No, we cannot and will not go to that gruesome practice of the Crusades. That’s horrendous. But we need to remember that the zeal which Peter the Hermit infused in the Coalition which made up the first Crusade is what gave the much needed killer instinct to make the first Crusade victorious. And when we faltered due to the chivalry of Richard the Lionheart we had to face defeat at the hands of Saladin.
Can we be like the crusaders who made up the first Crusade? Tough Question. Since, after so many centuries we have changed, we believe in an honorable fight, where non-combatants are not fired upon and the white flag is not used as a camouflage to fire on our enemies. But the mentality of our adversary has not changed - frozen as it is by what is said in the Instruction Manual of Terrorism. So what is to be done by the Allied forces today?
We cannot and will not issue a decree saying that it is holy duty of Christians and Jews to kill Muslims. That’s ridiculous! The question is what do we do today while we face a beastly enemy? Hunt them down? How? Our forefathers only a couple of hundred years back rose up to a similar situation and nurtured in us the cowboy spirit to know that one who pulls the trigger first, lives. This saw us through the days of the Wild West to build today the most powerful nation on this globe.
Special situations call for special reflexes if the situation is not to become desperate and go out of control. Today we cannot allow the enemy’s dirty tricks to add to our casualties. We simply cannot and will not allow that. The time will soon come for us to take a call on when and how many (Massive Ordnance Air Blasts) MOABs to drop on enemy targets.
In the war on Terror, we waste millions of dollars in firing Cruise missiles for destroying Palaces (like those of Saddam's) and other pompous symbols. But then these symbols of real estate emptied of their residents, are not our enemies. On 9/11, the enemy used our planes, our fuel and our infrastructure to lead to three thousand American casualties. We need to do likewise at least at the enemy’s military personnel.
During the Strike on Iraq why did the Precision Guided Missiles land inside Iran?
Mistakes do happen during a war, so the above headline need not cause eyebrows to be raised. But the question remains that during the Strike on Iraq how, and why could have Precision Guided Missiles made their way into Iran?
Modern technology of Precision Guided Missiles and Laser Guided Bombs along with the house to house mapping based on high resolution satellite images, have made it possible even to decide which window a missile goes through. But then to err is human and missiles are operated by humans and so mistakes do happen. The closest we came to such a “miss” or rather a hit was at the Chinese embassy at Belgrade during the bombing of Serbia. And we assume that was a mistake.
Now the mistake has happened again, so it is one this time around? And in the present context can we guess that the next on the agenda for War against terror has been indicated at by the, not one but four Precision Guided Tomahawk Missiles that made their way inside Iran, with one of them sticking an oil refinery at Abadan – with precision.
By this time next year or maybe earlier, the War against Terror (Jihad) would have moved to the next target on the Axis of Evil – Iran. So after Saddam’s Evil Dictatorship, the twilight of the Ayatollahs will be brought to at an end, once Iran comes under the receiving end of the Tomahawk Cruise missiles. A not so camouflaged hit (oops sorry, we mean - hint) of which has given by the missiles that touch-based targets in Iran in the opening days of the Iraq chapter of the War against Terror (Jihad). The hatred that the Ayatollah’s have bred against whom they call the “Great Satan” (USA) was indicated when they instigated their supporters to storm the US Embassy in Tehran and hold its staff hostage for months together, during the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979.
We guess, that now that the Strike against Iraq has been concluded, that on Syria, Iran and eventualy Pakistan will start. The remarks about Syria's bio-chemical weapons and the UN’s focus on Iran’s nuclear reactors has set the first stage for a build-up towards a strike on Iran. And looking even further, maybe during the Strike on Iran, as the next chapter of this War against Terror (Jihad), some precision guided missiles could land in Pakistan. Let’s see. The future sure is going to be interesting and very very lively.

What President Bush can learn from Hulagu Khan.
Hulagu Khan as the name might otherwise indicate, was not a Muslim. He was a pagan Mongol chieftain who in the 13th century sacked Baghdad and brought about an end to the Islamic Caliphate. He was the first in the history of Islam to successfully invade a Muslim country and defeat the Muslims in their own land. His brutality, in which he out-matched the brutality of the Muslims was one factor for his military success against the Muslim rulers of Baghdad.
Where Hulagu Failed, despite Military success
When Hulagu captured Baghdad in 1258 C.E., he set the city on fire after a brutal massacre of all those living in the city. He was the first conqueror to be successful militarily against a Muslim country, as till then the Muslims had never been defeated in their own land. Their defeat at the hands of Charles Martel in France in 732 was in the nature of their invasion being stopped and rolled back. So Hulagu gets the credit for having invaded the Caliphate, sacking the capital after luring in a trap and murdering the Caliph. But despite this unprecedented military success, Hulgau was not effective in overcoming his Muslim adversaries, as his descendants three generations later were converted to Islam and became advocates of a religion that Hulagu had put to the torch.
The lesson here is that, military decisiveness is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for success in defeating religious fanaticism, of which Islam is the most brutal expression. Something that President George Bush should bear in mind as he has now successfully followed Hulagu Khan’s footsteps into Baghdad.
So what should we Americans do? Should we be as brutal as Hulagu to counter modern-day Islamic savagery in the form of a bio-chemical or thermo-nuclear attack with a dirty bomb from the Jihadis? The answer to this question is matter of military strategy. We can only say that if the answer is ‘Yes”, then this is not be a sufficient condition to defeat the enemy, or rather to win it over from its outlook of brutal religious fanaticism. If after stunning military success, Hulagu’s descendants embraced the outlook of their enemies, then they had failed to recognize what was central in their adversary’s outlook. And so they had themselves had fallen prey to the root, the very core of their adversary’s existence. Needless to add that the root, the very core of their adversary’s existence was, and is today, the Islamic faith which is the most brutal expression of fanaticism.
It is this very root of the adversary’s existence which will have to be rooted out of the minds of those whom we have subdued at Baghdad, if they are to re-mould the liberated Iraq as a democratic and liberal state.
The mindset of religious fanaticism is counter-productive to a democratic mindset.
The two cannot prevail together – one will have to eventually go the question is which one? Which one of the two will go away from the liberated Iraq - the outlook of religious fanaticism or a democratic mindset? In Christian Europe of Galileo’s days too the Church was in conflict with science and secular affairs. But the issue was resolved by a separation of the Church and the state, with the evolution of a secular outlook in temporal affairs, first in Europe and then in the New World (Americas)
Coming back to Hulagu Khan, he did not have the sagacity to perceive the root, the very core of the his adversary’s mindset. Hence his descendants fell prey to that root, the very core of their enemy’s mindset viz. the worst and most brutal form of religious fanaticism - Islam.
But President Bush, and Prime Minister Blair have the sagacity to recognize the root, the very core of the adversary’s mindset as the reason for the malaise that brought about 9/11, although they may be diplomatic about it by not stating it openly. The point is to recognize that the Islamic mindset is at the root of the adversary’s mindset, a mindset which is counter–productive to building a democratic society. And if bringing democracy to the middle east is the aim, then it is a foregone conclusion that an outlook that is the most brutal and savage form of religious fanaticism will have to be rooted out from the Middle East, and in fact from all over the globe. Needless to add that once this fanaticism withers (and it will not wither so easily), it should not be replaced by any other form of fanaticism whether religious or non-religious, if freedom and democracy are to prevail in a world where they are cherished and protected.

The Rationale for superceding the UN and replacing it with an Emergency Council
At the outbreak of a war, all normal peacetime laws are suspended. Wars throw up unforeseen contingency situations requiring urgent action, hence a state of emergency is declared suspending those peacetime legal provisions that could obstruct the war effort. Today when we have successfully concluded the War to disarm Saddam, as a first step to disarm other elements of the Axis of Evil, this step is called for with regards to the UN.
Needless to add that now that Iraq has been dealt with, the gathering focus on Iran’s nuclear designs, spells out Iran as the next goal for the disarming of the Jihadis. The disarmament of Pakistan of its WMDs will follow the disarmament of Iran, regardless of the fact whether Musharraf continues to hold on to power or whether he is overthrown by overtly Jihadi generals there. Those to be brought into the disarmament dragnet sooner or later would include the covert Jihadi regimes of Syria, Libya, Sudan, and the last round would include Saudi Arabia (with the bomb blast at the expatriate compound in Riyadh), Egypt, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. This pattern would hold if the overt Jihadis do not take control from the covert Jihadis ruling these countries, necessitating immediate action.
While all this will happen, what is pertinent today at the eve of the beginning of this epic exercise of disarming the Jihadis beginning with Saddam, is that the USA, UK, Spain, Australia, and all other sensible nations should move towards having war-time provisions that would enable immediate reflex action to counter any sudden onslaught on the West by the Jihadis. An onslaught which is sure to happen, but which will be unpredictable in the way it happens.
One certain danger is that the terror strikes in the future will be organized not only by the Al Qaeda but by the new generation of organizations of the Jihadis that are now being spawned by the fury and frenzy that has overtaken those with an inherent Jihadi mentality. This would spell a new chapter in the savagery of Jihadi terror. The homicide truck bomb attack on the UN Headquarters in Baghdad is only a first pointer in this direction.
Now that Saddam has been deposed the 1st phase of the Iraq war is over and the 2nd has begun. Today we are at the eve of the epic and historic War to disarm the Jihadis. So we need to suspend all normal peacetime laws and as this war is going to have global and a long term implications, what needs to be suspended first is the United Nations Organization. The measures that would be necessary on the part of the civilized world cannot be hamstrung by a talking shop where the Jihadis and their pusillanimous allies from “le ancien regime” of Old Europe hold a brute majority where they can overrule the sagacity of those who recognize the challenge of the Jihad that is staring the civilized world in its face.
Follow-up to the Anglo-American-Spanish meeting at the Azores
The meeting at the Azores that was held in March 2003, should now be followed up to supercede the UN with an Emergency Council that could authorize the member states of the alliance to take contingency civil and military measures to overcome any unforeseen situations that would pop-up once the global war against terror become more intense with Syria, Iran Pakistan and eventually Egypt and Saudi Arabia becoming the targets of pre-emptive US action.
During a war all dissent is prohibited and if necessary all dissenters who disturb the war effort are kept in check and/or custody. Today we cannot keep the governments of dissenting states in custody. But we can at least start winding up the UN by asking it to vacate its premises at New York, suspend all financial contributions to this peacetime talking shop and replace it with a formal, Emergency Council. Maybe the UN could relocate to Paris, Berlin or maybe to Geneva where the defunct League of Nations once had its offices, before the outbreak of World War 2.

The hidden aim of the sponsored anti-war, anti-globalization rallies and agitations for human rights and civil liberties
The peaceniks who are demonstrating in droves against the War against Islamic Terror are the handmaiden of Jihadis, who with these massive road shows against the war, want to tie up American hands, till the Islamic world has nuclear parity with the West after which the Jihadis can challenge and try to defeat the West openly.
The agitations for human rights and civil liberties are a facade to tie up the hands of the USA in its fight against the Jihadis. We better be aware of this. Those agitating for human rights and civil liberties are those totalitarian communists and socialists, who never gave such liberties to people under their rule. We need only to remember their treatment of Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Sakharov in the former Soviet Union (USSR) and of many others in the former communist bloc. These discredited and now overthrown totalitarian communists are shedding crocodile tears in the name of human rights and civil liberties for the murderous Jihadis.
The time for the world is to brush aside these former communists who are agitating on the streets hand-in-glove with the Jihadis and to act against the Islamic Jihad NOW. The battle in Iraq was only the second chapter, as that in Afghanistan was the first. But there are many more and decisive battles to be won in this long epic war in front of us to finally overcome the Islamic Jihad.

Where is the War against Terror heading?
Till recently the focus was all on Iraq. But now that Iraq has been dealt with, what will follow? And why was Iraq first on the list? Some say it is Oil, but then Oil is only a part of the story.
Iraq had to be the first is since it presents a natural reason for being struck since it has flouted UN resolutions for eleven years after brazenly attacking Kuwait. Now that Iraq has been tackled, Syria and Sudan would have to be told that since they harbour terrorists, they need to flush them out; or the global anti-terror coalition will move in to do that. And the anti-terror coalition will in fact move in to do that. The land assault being preceded by the due softening of targets inside Syria and Sudan through a sustained air campaign.
Now that Iraq has been tackled, Syria/Iran are being told that they have nukes, and soon thereafter Pakistan will also be told this and will be asked to open up its installations to global weapons inspectors following which they will be asked to hand over their nukes and delivery systems to ensure non-proliferation and the WMDs fallings into wrong hands. An acceptance of this demand could lead to a coup in Pakistan. Iran on its part will outright refuse to comply. In both cases it will necessitate military action. Pakistan and Iran will be struck and dealt with before the anti-terror campaign turns to other Islamic states Pakistan and Iran could come first in the list since they are non-Arab states.
After this part is accomplished would come the kingpin Saudi Arabia and Egypt who will be told that their Govts are allies in the war against terror, so they need to be helped in flushing out the terrorists operating from within these countries. How this part of the campaign would go depends on how the Saudi and Egyptian Govts co-operate. And also if the much dreaded coup or popular uprisings overthrow these Govts. If this happens then this part of the campaign would mirror the Iraq chapter of the anti-terror campaign. The mopping up operations after this would pick up Indonesia, Malaysia, North Africa, Central Asia (from Chehnya to Chinese Turkestan)
Thus in a systematic manner, the military prowess of the Terrorist Crescent will be flushed down the drain, bit by bit. The anti-terror coalition, can't flush all of them down at one time. This would make it a difficult and dangerous task, given the terrorists' lust to kill. The statements of the Chechens at the Moscow Opera when they held 800 Russians as hostages, that: "We are more keen to die (and kill) than you Russians are keen to live" illustrates the paranoid enemy mindset. Of course after the long and arduous campaign leads the global anti-terror alliance to global victory, we will have to deal with an altogether different situation. But we guess that by then the geo-political situation would be such that then it would be easier for sensible folks across the globe to have a reasonable world order where the rational and humanist outlook guides us to a safe and prosperous future.

The Jihadi gameplan
The Jihadi gameplan is to force a fight between the West and Islam. Ironical as it may sound, they have wanted the US to attack Iraq. The Jihadis want the Muslim world to be in a ferment against the West. This serves the outlook of the Jihadis. Peace across the globe does not suit their outlook of either killing or converting the Kafirs (non-Muslims). This mentality of the Jihadis is also reflected in devastating attacks in Israel whenever the Israelis relent and open the checkpoints. This mentality is also seen in Kashmir in the terror strikes during the recently concluded elections. The Jihadis will strike whenever peace threatens to break out. They are at war with peace! In this situation the best bet for the rest of us is to be at perpetual war with the Jihadis till the last of them is done in. So an attack on Iraq must not only take place, but it would have to be followed-up by one on Syria, and that by another on Sudan, followed by one on Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. We cannot allow ourselves to rest till the threat of the Jihad is put out of the way for all across the globe for all time to come.
It is our guess that the Jihadis attacked the French Oil tanker and struck Moscow to force president Putin's hand on Iraq, so that he would not block the American resolution on Iraq at the UN. (That Putin and Chirac did not get a chance to use the veto is now history). Ironical as it looks, the Jihadis always desperately wanted an American attack on Iraq to take place. This way they have got rid of the non-conformist, but ruthless and cruel, Baathist and modernist Saddam Hussein and have made the Muslim world rise in ferment against the West. The American attack on Iraq has served the Jihadis both ways - the Murtad (apostate) Saddam has gone while raising the anti-West temper in the Ummah.
We also feel that the Jihadis will do something spectacularly destructive in France to force the French into the war on Terror. The ramming of an explosive-laden craft in the massive French Oil Tanker at Yemen was the first fired but failed shot. The second one may take place in Paris using chemical weapons. The find of Ricin in a Paris suburb is one indication. The French better be extra alert.

Sniper attacks a new front in Asymmetric Warfare?
As it has been proved the Washington area snipers (who raised panic a few months back) had a motivation similar to the Al Qaeda. The duo were finally arrested. But this may not be the end of the story. Some new sniper will re-surface after a few months in another area. We suspect that such attacks will start taking place in different countries too. Lets see. With sniper attacks, the Jihadis can mess up the day-to-day life the common American citizens. The Jihadi gameplan is to make the people so frightened that they dread every minute of their lives.
Before the snipers were arrested we had raised a pertinent question: Has even one of the persons killed by the sniper been a Muslim or Arab?? Has the sniper attacked worshippers coming out of Mosques? No. This itself told a story. The hefty ransom demand for millions of dollars was only a red herring. And if the hefty ransom has at all been paid, then it would have gone to finance more sniper attacks as the new Asymmetric front of the global Jihad. We suspect that similar sniper attacks will resume after a lapse in a new area in any part of the globe.

A lesson for The Govt of India for sending Troops to Iraq
The Govt of India (GOI) has also a lesson for itself here. While it refused to support the American initiative on Iraq, and now refuses to send Troops to Iraq, it expects the US to back it on Kashmir while tackling the same problem of terrorism. It is quite possible that in the next few months, the GOI will be left with a red face, if the shrewd Pakistani dictator suddenly makes a volte-face and says that in the interests of fighting global terrorism, he backs the US war on terror in any part of the globe and is willing to send Troops to Iraq. The slow moving GOI will then look for a big fig leaf to do a similar volte-face. As it is after 9/11 the GOI lost out to the Pakis due to reason of geographical proximity of Pakistan to the then enemy (Taliban), the GOI can now lose out due to the timely upstaging of support to the US by the more agile and shrewd Pakistani dictator. At least the GOI could go by the adage "Silence is Golden" on the issue of supporting the US assault on the Jihadis, if it does not want to commit itself either way. It seems that due to its policy still being hamstrung to the defunct psychology of the non-aligned movement, the GOI is going to lose another opportunity to tune itself into the global war against terror.

The American attack on Iraq will eventually be a Catapult for the next phase of the War against Terrorism
Afghanistan being a non-Arab country, the war there was a mild trailer of what is to come. Iraq is different ballgame. It is the most powerful militarily among the Arab countries. Most Arab governments did not want Saddam, but they still want a militarily strong Iraq. In the 1980s, they helped Saddam against Iran in the Iran-Iraq war, but he turned against them in his expansionist ambitions when he annexed Kuwait. Thus he spoilt the Pan-Arab show.
Now the Arabs are more worried, since with Iraq subdued, the war against terror will certainly in a year's time or less, move on to Syria, Iran and eventually on to Pakistan Saudi Arabia and other theaters, till it covers every nook and cranny of the world where the Jihadis are present. The future is going to be interesting to watch as the war against terror unfolds.

French, German and Russian fears in joining the Coalition
The US had a hard time convincing Russia and its European allies to back the now successfully completed attack on Iraq. The obstructionist French attitude will continue to prevail in the future. The Europeans did the same dithering when tackling Hitler. They allowed him to overrun Austria, as they backed Saddam in his attack on Iran, they allowed Hitler to take Czech Sudetenland, as they stood by for five months when Saddam swallowed Kuwait (And had it not been for US determination, the Europeans would not have lifted a finger against Saddam in 1991), they allowed Hitler to militarize the Rhineland and to re-activate the German Airforce under the guise of flying clubs, as they have allowed Saddam to amass WMDs. He would have gone nuclear much earlier, had the Israelis not destroyed his reactor in a daring air raid.
Now it is high time for the Europeans to stop repeating their mistakes of 1938 in the year 2003.
Today once again while the US goes it alone in the War against Terror, with the exception of UK, none of the EU (European Union) states are ready to openly back the US. What lies in the back of European minds is the eerie prediction that Muslim armies are prophesied to overrun Europe in the first stage of the third war, bringing the papacy to an end while ravaging the heart and center of Christendom. Even if one discounts the prophesies of Nostradamus as irrational; we cannot but help projecting the trajectories of the union of interests as seen in the Arab League unanimously condemning any proposed American attack on Iraq and the startling statement of Amr Moussa the Secretary-General of the Arab League (made before the Iraq war) that an attack on Iraq would open the “gates of hell” and that it would be considered to be an attack on all Arab states. This ominously reflects the NATO outlook where an attack on one of its member states is considered to be an attack on all. And now with Russia an invitee to the NATO and most of the former Warsaw Pact members having been co-opted into the NATO, the polarization seems to be telling - Muslim nations on one side and non-Muslim (mainly Christian on the other). Again the similarity to the Cross Vs. Crescent scenario in Nostradamus's writings are chillingly uncomfortable.
And more uncomfortable to the Europeans because it is they, who lie on the route of an Islamic invasion of the Western world. Twice the Europeans have had to turn back invading Muslim armies - once at Tours in 732 and then at Vienna in the 17th century. Now the developments could see a repetition of these events, if Nostradamus' prophesy of Muslim armies overrunning Europe is to come true. No nation would want its own home to be vandalized, although any nation would want its enemy to be destroyed if the battle is fought one the soil of either the enemy nation or on that of a third nation. (This also explains the US concern for Homeland Security after 9/11 and President George Bush's visits to mosques and repeated statements that "Islam is a religion of peace", while pursuing the war against terror all across the globe).
Incidentally, the successful US attack on Iraq, will eventaully invite violent retribution, as the bomb blasts at Riyadh, Baghdad, Jerusalem, Casablanca, Chechnya, Karachi, Bali, Mumbai have already borne out. There is much much more to come. The forces that want to defend civilization against religious fanaticism, better be alert.
The anti-War protests and anti-globalization frenzy of the communists is the 2nd front of the Jihadis
A second front that the Jihadis have opened up surreptitiously against the Western world seems to have escaped their attention. The second front of the Jihadis to embarrass the US and the West is the anti-war and anti-globalization rampage. Who finances the violent protests across the world? Have you thought about that? The Jihadis are also funding non-Muslim terrorist organisations like the ETA - the Basque separatist organisation. Have you noticed how ETA attacks have grown more frequent and more daring after 9/11 and that the attacks are now centered on economically emasculating Spain by terrorizing the popular Spanish Tourist spots and frighten the European tourists who come seeking Spain’s sunny beaches. The other pattern is that of ETA targeting EU meetings in Spain. The message is clear the ETA is on the rampage - but why more so after 9/11? That is the question. (The Jihadis are also trying to open communication channels with other non-Muslim terrorist organisations like the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam), but have not made any headway with them so far.
The Jihadis are meticulously planning a fifth column in the Western World, as another front of their asymmetric warfare. It is high time the US and the West opened its eyes to the happenings around them and give up the delusion that this is not their war against Islam. They may delude themselves by saying that. But for the Jihadis, this is surely a war of Islam on the rest of the world. Whenever they had their way the Jihadis have moved through an unsuspecting and ill-prepared victim nation like a hot knife through butter; now if human civilization is to be saved, then it is high time for that butter to turn into lava so as to melt the knife of the Islamic Jihad.
