The only one that is quiet now Saddam may have some nasty surprises as a fairwel before he passes away. He probably won't be quiet for much longer. That hijacked plane just landed on Saddam International airport. Dave

Hijacked plane with 112 on board lands in Baghdad October 14, 2000 Web posted at: 2:49 PM EDT (1849 GMT) CAIRO, Egypt -- A London-bound Saudi airliner has been hijacked by at least one man believed to be armed with explosives. The Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 777-200 was taken over as it flew over Egypt bound for Heathrow Airport where it had been expected to land at 5.40 p.m. local time (1640 GMT). "A Saudi flight 115 from Jeddah to London told the control tower just after leaving Egyptian airspace at 2.55 p.m. (1255 GMT) local time that he was hijacked and that the hijackers demanded that they go to Damascus," an Egyptian aviation official said. The aircraft, which has 112 people on board and was flying from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, bypassed Syria and has now landed in Baghdad, Iraq. Airline officials say among the passengers are 40 people from Britain, 15 from Saudi Arabia, 15 from Pakistan, a Palestinian, and one each from Spain, Oman, the United States, Sweden, France, Lebanon, India, Nigeria, Kenya, Yemen, and four South Africans. They would not divulge the nationalities of the remaining passengers. At Heathrow Airport, in west London, many worried friends and relatives were anviously waiting for news of their loved ones. Cypriot air traffic controllers said the plane, which has a crew complement of 17, had asked to cross Syria to fly to Baghdad after being refused permission to land in Damascus. A message from the captain of the Saudi Air flight to the control tower at Larnaca, Cyprus, said: "The hijacker is saying that he has TNT (explosives) on board and he might blow the aircraft, and we have passengers from all kinds of nationalities." "Do you read? Call the Damascus FIA (Flight Information Area) for authority to overfly," he said. CNN's Jane Arraf, in Baghdad, said: "Saddam Hussein (the Iraqi president) has guranteed the safety of the passengers aboard and will treat them as if they were Iraqi citizens." She said that emergency services and armed troops are at the airport. Nothing is known about the motives or identity of the hijacker, or whether he is acting alone. cnn.com

Haim, Kol Hachavod! Terrorists will bring the world to its knees and invade the west with terrorist propaganda, they are being financed by those whose ultimate goal is to discredit Israelis and blackmail the west. Sure give the Palestinians back their land, so they have a closer position to aim and destroying one of the havens of democracy in the middle East. The Arab Nation is not the Terrorist nation. But because of acts of terrorism that might be condoned and even financed by some extremists, they might also suffer the consequences of the world's disgust. America might as well give back the Louisiana Purchase. Let's also take another step and what about the British or Roman Empire? The Arab empire is large enough to provide a safe haven for all Palestinians. Why then wrest the one area that Israel needs to protect itself from the terrorist infection? Americans and Europeans have already had a grisly taste of the terrorist disregard of humanity in a 'cause' that is propagated by hate, distrust and enmity. ...American, Just like the song.... You ain't seen nothing yet. The Louisiana Purchase was the purchase of the French province of Louisiana by the United States in 1803. The province stretched from the Mississippi River westward to the Rocky Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico northward to Canada, covering an area equal to that of the United States, prior to the purchase. Except for the Mississippi River on the east and Canada on the north, the boundaries were indefinite. The United States also claimed West Florida between the Mississippi and Perdido rivers as part of the purchase, but Spain denied the claim. As a result of the purchase, the port of New Orleans and the entire Mississippi system were secured for American shippers, and the country was free to expand toward the Pacific Ocean. The price was $15,000,000 for an area of 828,000 square miles (2,145,000 km) - less than 3 cents an acre. In 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte got Spain to return it by a secret treaty. Napoleon planned a French empire in the New World, with its center at New Orleans. President Jefferson was alert to the dangers of a powerful nation controlling the mouth of the Mississippi. So the United Stated can and has protected itself from infiltration from enemies, but Israel can't? America wanted to expand, Israel only wants to exist.
