One last thought, in Mashad, you can shave your beard, go to Hamam and get cleaned up and move north to Mazandaran, Sari, Rashat, Tabriz, turn south to Urumia, and then to Sanendej. Stone throw from Iraqi border; your home free. Watch out for the Peshmergs on the way to Sanandej to Kirkuk and Musel. If you get caught, they don't kill you, they keep you alive and then they will do Uba-Uba to you until you die? ggg If you survive you get home to Bagdad. Good luck.

Gus, I have been silent on your assertions that Europe is more detrimental to Palestinian Arabs than US...Europe is largely irrelevant on the issue, as they tend to cave-in rather than take a principled position (either USSR/detente talks, Balkans or Middle East, they are spineless..However they do despise Arabs and fear Islam more than US...Surely they will double-cross Arabs when they can...Arafat will be ditched soon you think? reuters.com At the news conference, the leader of the EU delegation, Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, spoke of a decrease, rather than a cessation, of violence as a way to move forward. "The European Union wants the Palestinian Authority to do all it can to put terrorists in jail and to reduce the level of violence," Verhofstadt said. "And that must allow the government of Israel to start to implement Tenet and Mitchell," Verhofstadt said, referring to a cease-fire agreement mediated by U.S. CIA chief George Tenet and the broader peace plan that followed. Powell did not refer on television to Sharon's demand for seven days of calm, but reiterated that Palestinian President Yasser Arafat "needs to make a 100 percent effort to end all the violence, and we need to see results that reflect that 100 percent effort."

When jubilant Afghans in the streets of Kabul screamed "Death to Pakistan," many here saw it as confirmation that their politically fragile country had been duped as a hostile force took power in a country Pakistan has long sought to dominate. washtimes.com Feeling liberated from five years of often-sadistic Taliban rule, Kabul residents crowded around the bodies and spat on them, claiming the dead men were Arabs, North Africans, Chechens — and Pakistanis. The fast-moving political events across the border have left many Pakistanis uneasy and uncertain, even as they confront serious social and economic problems at home. The political dynamic in Pakistan could prove key over the next few years to stability throughout the region, analysts say.
