I do not intend to make it a Arab vs. Jew issue. The Arabic culture is also replete with contributions to the world community. I did not say that there are no Jewish folks who have contributed. You do not have to be defensive. Instead you need to be proud and be silent.

The issue is just like these illustrious Jews, there are other Jewish lobbyist in DC who we never hear of, who are walking the halls of Congress and dangling their wealth in front of greedy Congressmen. That is a known and accepted fact and no amount of exchanges between you and me on this issue is going to change that. And we wonder why other nations rejoice when the US gets bombed.

I am not saying we should rejoice if the US gets bombed. But then when you have the US killing civilians/revellers of marriage parties in Afghanistan subjected to heavy US bombing without the US making any reparations, when you have them bomb a Iranian civilian airplane with their military jets and not making immediate and unconditional reparations, when you have the US supporting Israel in not allowing UN observers into Jenin but insisting on Saddam Hussein allow UN inspectors into Iraq or else....., then there is cause for US making enemies.

Right now we are back to the old days of US policy with a black American with roots in a oppressive race, General Powell sidelined totally. He understands the pain of oppression since he was a witness to that oppression during his growing up days in the Bronx. BUt unfortuately the lobbies in Washington prevailed and he has been sidelined. So if we as a nation opt to remain in a state of war over the Israel-Palestenian issue, we should be surprised if some nations rejoice when the US is bombed. Before we know it, we have already imported the hatred that the Jews have towards the Arabs into the US and thereby having the US face the consequences.
