Sharon's forlorn trek to Crawford --close, but no cigar:
By the Rivers of Babylon Hussein Shobokshi
The red carpet will be laid out in the White House, candles lit, drinks served, and every one will waltz the night away next week. Sharon, the Israeli war criminal who is currently its prime minister, will be in town! He will be the guest of honor at the May function in Washington DC in celebrating the 55th anniversary of the creation of Israel.
This will be another shameful chapter in America's alliance with this war criminal, a relationship that has brought America nothing but mistrust and resentment from people all over the world. Sharon is supported in Washington by a group of neo-conservative politicians that have decided to put Israel's interest above America's, and there lies the big and dangerous problem.
It's been a month since the war on Iraq started, and there are no traces of the weapons of mass destruction yet. Sharon has been begging and lobbying the American administration to invade Syria and "look" for the Iraqi weapons there and, while it is at it, to pass through Iran.
What sad times we live in when a group of madmen who in the name of a sick political-religious ideology [Judeofascism] have managed to hijack America's foreign policy, threaten and, in some cases, destroy its relationship with its allies and friends. Speaking of weapons of mass destruction, Sharon - better known in the White House as the man of peace - is currently in charge of a mega arsenal, and recently passed Britain to become the world's fifth largest nuclear power and now rivals France and China in the size and sophistication of its nuclear armory. He currently possesses 500 thermo-nuclear weapons as a result of a nuclear program that began in the late 1940's.
All of this sophisticated and brutal weaponry helped Israel invade and occupy the lands of its neighboring countries, terrorize and murder Arabs without any attempt by the Americans to put an end to this hypocrisy. What the world would like to see is some decent and honest policies from the Americans, a president to forget about the Jewish lobby, look Israel in the eye and demand its withdrawal from the occupied land, dismantle its weapons of mass destruction and stop torturing and killing civilians. Can it be done? Sure it can. But will it be done? Now that's another question altogether. America needs to be liberated from the war hawks that have hijacked its glory. The whole world needs a free and decent American administration.
