Our Country was not founded with the charter to provide education, or to
ensure that such a 'system' exists, successful or not.
If people want socialism, go to a socialist country.
Here, our country was founded on the principle that the individual is in

Now here we agree! This whole hypocrisy of making it illegal, but then
poorly enforcing the law means our borders aren't secured, and many suffer
and die making the crossing.
Bush's guest worker proposal is a surprisingly smart idea from the shrub,
but the chances of it passing are zero. Too many racists, who will whine
about an influx of Spanish speakers, over a dinner at a restaurant with
plenty of those very immigrants behind the scenes preparing their meals.

The case of Abdur Rahman ( where Rahman is the Lord Jesus Christ, not
Allah) has shaken the Islamic world. But for Islam, its own adherents
asking
questions is a healthy beginning.
The two letters below are from Muslims. The first resides abroad, and
has
been exposed to western thought. The second still lives in the coop of
traditional and oppressive Islam.
===============================================
TOLERANCE
Letter in Dawn, Mar 26
THE case of the Afghan man facing the death penalty for converting to
Christianity is very disturbing. Muslims preachers go around the world
on "tableeghi tours", preaching and proselytizing with complete
freedom. But they are not prepared to give non-Muslims the same freedom
in their own countries. Muslims claim loudly that there is no
compulsion in Islam and that Islam is a religion of peace. Now is the
time to prove it.
MUHAMMED IDRIS
Stockholm, Sweden
(II)
The Afghan man, Abdul Rahman, who converted from Islam to Christianity
had been working for a Christian aid organisation in Peshawar. Was the
purpose of this Christian aid organisation to undertake rehabilitation
in the war-torn Afghanistan or act as a missionary to convert Muslims
to Christianity? This case reveals that most of the Christian
charitable organisations working in Muslim countries are brainwashing
young Muslims. These organisations that pose as aiding the needy must
be watched carefully.

Iraqis killed by US troops 'on rampage'
Hala Jaber and Tony Allen-Mills, New York
Claims of atrocities by soldiers mount
THE villagers of Abu Sifa near the Iraqi town of Balad had become used
to the sound of explosions at night as American forces searched the
area for suspected insurgents. But one night two weeks ago Issa Harat
Khalaf heard a different sound that chilled him to the bone.
Khalaf, a 33-year-old security officer guarding oil pipelines, saw a US
helicopter land near his home. American soldiers stormed out of the
Chinook and advanced on a house owned by Khalaf's brother Fayez,
firing as they went.
Khalaf ran from his own house and hid in a nearby grove of trees. He
saw the soldiers enter his brother's home and then heard the sound of
women and children screaming.
"Then there was a lot of machinegun fire," he said last week. After
that there was the most frightening sound of all - silence, followed
by explosions as the soldiers left the house.
Once the troops were gone, Khalaf and his fellow villagers began a
frantic search through the ruins of his brother's home. Abu Sifa was
about to join a lengthening list of Iraqi communities claiming to have
suffered from American atrocities.
According to Iraqi police, 11 bodies were pulled from the wreckage of
the house, among them four women and five children aged between six
months and five years. An official police report obtained by a US
reporter for Knight Ridder newspapers said: "The American forces
gathered the family members in one room and executed 11 people."
The Abu Sifa deaths on March 15 were first reported last weekend on the
day that Time magazine published the results of a 10-week investigation
into an incident last November when US marines killed 15 civilians in
their homes in the western Iraqi town of Haditha.
The two incidents are being investigated by US authorities, but
persistent eyewitness accounts of rampaging attacks by American troops
are fuelling human rights activists' concerns that Pentagon
commanders are failing to curb military excesses in Iraq.
The Pentagon claims to have investigated at least 600 cases of alleged
abuse by American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to have
disciplined or punished 230 soldiers for improper behaviour. But a
study by three New York-based human rights groups, due to be published
next month, will claim that most soldiers found guilty of abuse
received only "administrative" discipline such as loss of rank or
pay, confinement to base or periods of extra duty.
Of the 76 courts martial that the Pentagon is believed to have
initiated, only a handful are known to have resulted in jail sentences
of more than a year - notably including the architects of detainee
abuse at Abu Ghraib prison.
Most other cases ended with sentences of two, three or four months.
"That's not punishment, and that's the problem," said John
Sifton of Human Rights Watch, which is compiling the study with two
other groups.
"Our concern is that abuses in the field are not being robustly
investigated and prosecuted, and that they are not setting an example
with people who cross the line," said Sifton. "There is a clear
preference by the military for discipline with administrative and
non-judicial punishments instead of courts martial. That sends the
message that you can commit abuse and get away with it."
Yet the evidence from Haditha and Abu Sifa last week suggested that the
Pentagon is finding it increasingly difficult to dismiss allegations of
violent excesses as propaganda by terrorist sympathisers.
It was on November 19 last year that a US marine armoured vehicle
struck a roadside bomb that killed a 20-year-old lance-corporal.
According to a marine communiqué issued the next day, the blast also
killed 15 Iraqi civilians and was followed by an attack on the US
convoy in which eight insurgents were killed.
An investigation by Time established that the civilians had not been
killed by the roadside bomb, but were shot in their homes after the
marines rampaged through Haditha. Among the dead were seven women and
three children.
One eyewitness told Time: "I watched them shoot my grandfather, first
in the chest and then in the head. Then they killed my granny."
A Pentagon inquiry has reportedly confirmed that the civilians were
killed by marines. But it said the deaths were the result of
"collateral damage" and not, as some villagers alleged, murder by
marines taking revenge for the death of their comrade. The case has
been handed over to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to
determine if the rules of war were broken.
In Abu Sifa last week, Khalaf's account was corroborated by a
neighbour, Hassan Kurdi Mahassen, who was also woken by the sound of
helicopters and saw soldiers entering Fayez's home after spraying it
with such heavy fire that walls crumbled.
Mahassen said that once the soldiers had left - after apparently
dropping several grenades that caused part of the house to collapse -
villagers searched under the rubble "and found them all buried in one
room".
"Women and even the children were blindfolded and their hands bound.
Some of their faces were totally disfigured. A lot of blood was on the
floors and the walls."
Khalaf said he had found the body of his mother Turkiya with her face
unrecognisable. "She had been shot with a dumdum bullet," he
claimed.
While many allegations of US atrocities have later turned out to be
exaggerated or false, the Abu Sifa incident was supported by hospital
autopsy reports that said all the victims had died from bullet wounds.
A local Iraqi police commander - supposedly co-operating with US
forces - confirmed that the bodies had been found with their wrists
tied.
The US military put the number of civilians killed at four: two women,
a child and a man. A spokesman said troops had gone to the house in
response to a tip that a member of Al-Qaeda was there. The terrorist
was found and arrested. The spokesman insisted that coalition forces
"take every precaution to keep civilians out of harm's way" and
that it was "highly unlikely" that the Abu Sifa allegations were
true.
Some villagers were quoted as confirming that an Al-Qaeda member was
visiting the house. "But was my six-month-old nephew a member of
Al-Qaeda?" asked Khalaf. "Was my 75-year-old mother also from that
organisation?" While the Pentagon is investigating the incident, the
soldiers involved remain on active duty.
Sifton acknowledged that human rights activists needed to distinguish
between cases of detainee abuse - invariably carried out in cold
blood - and incidents that occur on a dangerous and volatile
battlefield.
"We are not unsympathetic to the stresses of battlefield
situations," he said. "There's a saying in the military that
it's better to be judged by 12 (a jury) than be carried by six
(coffin-bearers). We would hesitate to second-guess a soldier's
reactions under fire. But there's a limit to how much leniency you
can give troops because of the fog of war. You can't give the US
military a free pass."
He added: "If they are pissed off because a buddy got killed and they
want revenge, that's a violation of the rules of war."
Senior officers have argued that insurgents are targeting the civilian
population in order to blame coalition forces, and that troops are
trained to take all reasonable precautions to prevent civilian
casualties while defending themselves against attack.
The problem for the Pentagon is that every new incident involving
civilian deaths triggers a new wave of anti-American fervour.
Last week Jalal Abdul Rahman told this newspaper about the death in
January of his 12- year-old son Abdul. It was a Sunday evening and
father and son were driving home after buying a new game for the
boy's PlayStation.
They were a few hundred yards from their home in the Karkh
neighbourhood of Baghdad when - according to Rahman - US forces
opened fire on the car, killing Abdul.
Soldiers approached the car and told Rahman he had failed to stop when
ordered to do so. Rahman said he had never heard an order to stop. The
soldiers searched the car and, as they departed, they threw a black
body bag on the ground.
"They said, 'This is for your son,' and they left me there with
my dead son," he added.
Rahman claimed he had had nothing to do with the insurgency until that
moment. "But this is America, the so-called guardian of humanity, and
killing people for them is like drinking water. I shall go after them
until I avenge the blood of my son."

SPIES JUST CONFUSED SADDAM
A stream of US military intelligence allegedly passed to Saddam Hussein
by Russian spies before the 2003 invasion of Iraq was either ignored or
served to confuse him, according to former Republican Guard commanders,
writes Tony Allen-Mills.
One commander told the Pentagon that Saddam and his sons dismissed
accurate warnings that the main US force was bypassing southern cities
and striking directly at Baghdad.
The leaks appeared to have served the coalition cause so successfully
that military analysts speculated that they were part of a deliberate
strategy of "fog generation" aimed at "obscuring the minds of
Iraq's senior leadership".

Little Pedro
It was the first day of school and a new student named Pedro Martinez, a
very young son of a Mexican Pistolero, entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history.
"Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death? "
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Pedro, who had his hand up.
"Patrick Henry, 1775."
"Very good!" apprised the teacher. "Now, who said, "Government of the
people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth?"
Again, no response except from Pedro: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed! Pedro, who
is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do!"
She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans!"
"Who said that?" she demanded.
Pedro put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."
The teacher glared and asked, "All right! Now, who said that?"
Again, Pedro answered, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yelled, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
Pedro jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the teacher,
"Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now, with almost a mob hysteria, another student yelled, "You little shit.
If you say anything else, I'll kill you!"
Pedro frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra
Levy, 2001."
The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor,
someone said, "Oh shit, we're in BIG trouble now!"
Pedro whispered, "Saddam Hussein, 2003."
Finally someone throws a eraser at Pedro, someone shouted "Duck"!
Teacher, just waking, asked "Who said that?
Pedro: "Dick Cheney 2006! "
Lesson: Don't understimate the Amigos!!

Another joo who loves spics and niggers so much she lives in a building
where the only spics and niggers are servants.
Why don't you push for affirmative action in your own backyard?
Anytime that happens, the joos suddenly don't want them -- but it's
okay for everyone else to get dumped with the orcs.
