The Perils of King George Bush

Is George Bush a fascist? Before we deal with that question, let us
instead ask whether or not he is an authoritarian, or a royalist or
monarchist, as some have put it. This would be in accord with what
some historians have recently written, that George Bush is one of the
most democracy-hostile Presidents that we have ever had.
It is also in line with his Administration's theory of the "unitary
executive" where the Executive Branch has all the power and the other
branches of government have little to none. What are the three
branches of government?
Judicial, legislative and executive. ... (cont)

What George Bush Has Done to Iraq

A stroll down Haifa street...
By Layla Anwar
(Original from the Arab Woman Blues blog.)
Haifa Street in Baghdad was of course named after a Palestinian town
now under Israeli occupation. It used to be a street, actually a
neighborhood, where all denominations cohabited. It also had specially
designed buildings overlooking the Tigris river, reserved for
academics only.
Iraqi academics, from all backgrounds, "ethnic" affiliations, "sects"
and "religion" and from different fields of specialization lived in
those buildings on Haifa Street, rent free, courtesy of the Iraqi
government. This was part of Saddam Hussein's government campaign to
promote education and to encourage individuals to strive for a career
in academic knowledge and teaching thereafter.
A letter was sent to me via email, a letter of despair and tragedy
written by an Iraqi professor who lived on Haifa Street. I am going to
translate the whole thing for you.
My name is Ahmed Kamal Nabil. I am a university professor since 1975.
I live on Haifa street. On the 7th of January, I went out to buy some
food since we had been without anything to eat since the day of the
Eid (30th December). My wife, two daughters and one small grandchild
stayed at home.
Since there was no transportation and in view of the military presence
surrounding Haifa street, I was unable to regain my apartment fast
enough. Moreover, an unusual movement in our neighborhood made me very
suspicious.
I saw some elements of the Iraqi militias shooting on the door of our
building. I immediately informed my family by phone so they may leave
promptly. They tried to but the militias refused them exit.
What followed was even more brutal. The upper floors of the building
where we lived were totally destroyed and my wife was informing me (on
the phone) that she and my daughters were few minutes away from an
imminent Death. What could I do?
I begged a neighbor to help us. At first he refused, then he agreed to
courageously face the American and Iraqi forces and come to the rescue
of my family, thus helping them seek refuge in another building close
by which was not targeted.
The following day, at dawn, my family discovered a dead street, in
ruins. My wife and my kids left Haifa street with the only luggage
they had, the clothes on their bodies. The militias raped our home.
They ransacked and looted all of our belongings.
In the space of a few minutes, we lost everything we worked for and
owned. My books, my souvenirs, my diplomas, my notes, my research
papers and my personal diary. In sum, all of my memory carefully
constructed over a span of half a century has gone out. Gone to sleep
for ever. Now we are back to zero.
My family is scattered, lodged by different relatives and strangers.
Throughout my career, I have never committed one act of hostility vis
a vis the Iraqi authorities or the American occupation forces. I filed
a complaint but the policeman at the station was unimpressed. He told
me that my only crime is that I was living in a street of
"terrorists."
If I had chosen to return to Iraq, my country, after studies in
Europe, it was with the aim of bringing to my people the knowledge I
acquired in the West. I have conducted and supervised dozens of PhD
theses and I have taught thousands of students.
What happened to me on the 7th of January is tragic. Is that the
destiny of Iraqi intellectuals and researchers? Is that the reward for
those who opted for neutrality, independence of thought, spirit and
honor? What crime have I committed by not wanting to give in to
violence and terror and by insisting on continuing my work - that of
teaching in Iraq?"
Yes Haifa street, the street of academics and the brain drain of the
New Iraq. Over 500 university professors have been assassinated since
the "liberation." 500 individuals who have spent years studying,
researching, teaching, forming, training, disseminating
knowledge... ... (cont)

Garbage deleted!
Blame Al-Qaeda and peace loving muslims for killing themselves. Most
likely they've accounted for 98% of the deaths that have occurred.

Well, Red, we're not too sure that Muslims are responsible for even
most of the killings in Iraq. Not too long ago, the Iraqi police
stopped a car heading for a religious festival and found two British
undercover agents dressed like muslims and carrying a carload of
explosives and remote detonators. After the British were arrested and
imprisoned, the British sent a special commando unit supported by
tanks to storm the place and free the British agents. It seems the
British agents were on official business--setting up phony "suicide"
bombs.
Just as revealing, Iraqi investigators were able to identify many of
the exploded cars, and the serial numbers were traced back to
America. it seems the United States was shipping in used cars to be
used as bombs.
Of course, the western media always, but always, describes every car
bomb as a "suicide" bombing. But since a car bomb can be timed or set
off remotely, it would make little sense for terrorists to just kill
themselves. It's more likely that the bombers woud leave the cars
before detonating the explosive--and the British and American
undercover people can do that as well as, or better than, any Muslim.
The biggest obstacle to car bombing was al Sadr's militia. But Bush's
"surge" was specifically aimed at wiping out al Sadr's army. While
not destroyed, the Shiite militia has been temporarily scattered. And
now we find that bombs are once again going off in the Shiite sectors
and the Sunni's are being blamed. But the Iraqis know that most of
those bombs are probably being set off by the British and American
"contractors" swarming all over Iraq.
