The future of the world is balanced on a knife edge. eg: Indonesian Leader Heads for U.S. By Slobodan Lekic Associated Press Writer Monday, Sept. 17, 2001; 9:08 a.m. EDT JAKARTA, Indonesia –– Megawati Sukarnoputri, the leader of the world's most populous Muslim nation, departed for Washington on Monday and left in charge her deputy, who has said terrorist attacks could "cleanse the sins of the United States." U.S. ambassador Robert Gelbard said he was "dismayed" by Indonesian Vice President Hamzah Haz's comments. President Megawati, who is scheduled to meet President Bush on Wednesday, will be the first Muslim head of state to visit Washington since last week's attacks, which claimed thousands of lives. The Bush administration invited her shortly after she took office in July. Originally, the two were to discuss economic aid to cash-strapped Indonesia. Bush is now expected to press the Indonesian president to crack down on hardline Islamic groups in her country. Indonesia is wracked by a number of separatist and sectarian conflicts and some groups have been accused of having links with international terrorist networks. Muslims make up 85 percent of Indonesia's 203 million people, and some are incensed by what they perceive as Washington's unreserved support for Israel. There have been a series of anti-American and anti-Israeli rallies in recent weeks. Megawati's government, which relies heavily on the support of conservative Muslim-based parties in Parliament, immediately condemned the attacks in New York and Washington and expressed its condolences to the United States. But Haz, who heads the Islamic United Development Party – the country's largest Muslim party – warned against revenge strikes on Muslim nations. He suggested that American policies may have been the catalyst for the terrorist attack. "Hopefully, this tragedy will cleanse the sins of the United States," the newspaper Kompas newspaper quoted him as saying. He repeated his statement on Monday, saying that America had committed "many kinds of sins." Gelbard immediately responded to the remarks by Haz, who in the past has called for strict Islamic law to be introduced in Indonesia. "I certainly would expect that no Indonesian official would imply any sort of justification for these barbaric acts," he said. On Saturday, Gelbard reacted angrily to comments by Dewi Fortuna Anwar, a former presidential foreign policy adviser, in an interview with The Jakarta Post daily. She maintained the attacks were caused by Washington's support for Israel. Gelbard called her comments "anti-Semitic and misinformed," adding that "her comments suggest that the terrible acts against Americans ... may be justified." Some Indonesian Muslim militants fought and trained in Afghanistan during its war against the Soviet Union in the 1980s. On Monday, asked by reporters whether the government would stop foreign Muslim extremists from entering Indonesia, Haz said it would and added that Muslim groups in Indonesia now are not hard-liners. © Copyright 2001 The Associated Press

Got this via email over the weekend............. Subject: A message to those responsible for the World Trade Center terrorist attack. If you agree, then pass this along to every person, place and media you can think of so that eventually those responsible will be able to read it - it's from all us. From : We the people of The United States America To: Those responsible for the World Trade Center terrorism You will NOT dampen our spirits, steal our freedoms, weaken our position or cause us to run or hide in any way. Today we were an easy target for cowards such as you because we stand tall, hold our heads high and allow ourselves to be seen and heard across the nations. We do not cower like spineless jackals as you do, hiding under the slime of cowardice, waiting until no one is looking to strike like a slithering snake. You may think you have tasted victory, but instead, you have sealed your own fate with your acts of terror and doomed yourselves to forever crawling on your bellies and hiding your faces. You will never stand tall, or be recognized for any good. Your own people will know your shame and be forever tarnished by your acts. You may be feared, but you will never be respected, even among your own. In your fantasy you rise up to rule the world, in reality, you will live in the sewers of the world like fetid rats, hiding among thieves and criminals, never welcome at any congress or among the decent people of any land. You have made your existence known by your acts of cowardice, and you are now doomed to run and hide. Your followers will tire, weaken from the strain and in the end will turn on you for delivering to them, not rights and freedom, but the enslavement of guilt and culpability for these senseless acts of violence. We challenge you to stand up and show yourself, but expect that you will not, for every reviled vermin knows that they can never show their face, lest they meet the inevitable consequence. In the end, you will reap upon yourselves what you have sewn in the doom and destruction of today's events. As for us, Americans of every color and every creed, we will move onwards and upwards and continue our effort to spread peace, knowledge and hope to all the world (including the place you live) and make it a better, more civilized place to live. And we will do this by getting up and going about our business, just the same as we have done every other day. You can not stop us or the progression of the civilization of our world anymore than you can stop it turning. We are a strong nation, born of many other nations. Our people come from your land and from every other land throughout the world. Which makes your's a crime against every nation and every person. And it would take far more than what some weak mongrels such as you can deliver, to quench our spirit. The fires of your destruction have forged our swords and hardened our resolve. And we, the people of America, shall rise above this day with our collective strength, will, determination, loyalty and faith to make every life you took count for everything we can and rid the world of the stench of terrorists like you. United we stand, in spite of your gall. Your attempt to divide us, will end with your fall. May God have mercy on your souls.
