Geez! Terry. I must find a tradable position this weekend in the assumption that: - reps win the senat, have the tax cuts, greenie lowering rates, market rallies only to postpone the unevitable. Searching a bullish spread with fair protection to the downside.
Now OBL arguments: these are on all TV shows on the subject: it is a mortal sin for a muslim to take lives, Islam is a religion of peace, ..... To the question: why do those terrorists rise the Islam flag? Answer: these are bad muslims.
Further, you have to get used to the dialectics. When OBL says I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks,... he does not says that he has not been planning or subsidizing these attacks.
Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people. Bali, Moscow, Israel, Kashmir,.... but of course, these are "bad muslims" didn't they tell you?
John Muhammad? "bad muslim".... I can go on forever.
Only one conclusion could be derived from the indifference of the United States and the West to these acts of terror and the patronage of the tyrants by these powers that America is an anti-Islamic power and it is patronizing the anti-Islamic forces. That is what I said, he amalgamates all the Western civilization and values as being US tyranny.
The Palestinian question is a focus point currently. When/if there would be a solution found, the radicals will either torpedo the peace process or move the focus elsewhere. A former Israeli ambassador (forgot his name) presented one solution, a sort of confederation a la EU between Jordan, Palestine and Israel. Disputes would be settled easier under the umbrella of a supra-national organization. I agree with him that the UN resolutions are unapplicable under current unsolved conditions: status of Jerusalem; Jewish -I don't call them Israeli- settlements; Palestinian Jihad - Mufti still calling for the destruction of Israel-; ...
I don't know what should be done. But let the people decide. Eventually send and international police force (as has been done in Haiti), not troops, to enforce democratic choices. If this would not work, change the people? |
