Jacob, Ghandi who was against the creation of a separate state for Jews, did exactly that for Muslims with his concession on Pakistan. How many millions died? How much conflict still exists? Ghandi should have listened to himself. John

Maybe the Hindu Nationalists could teach the Israelis how to organize pogroms against Muslims And you dare accuse others of false and inflammatory language? When has Israel organized "pogroms"? Do you even know what a pogrom is? After touring the Gandhi memorial, perhaps Sharon would like to visit the site of the former Ayodhya Mosque. Sort of a cultural exchange program Uh huh. Like the site of the former Dome of the Rock? Oops, the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa are still there - unlike Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, or the the 57 synagogues that the Jordanians destroyed after they took the Old City in 1948.

Middle East The Twin Towers and the Tower of Babel Part 1: Sleeping with the enemy By Pepe Escobar PARIS - Two years after September 11, 2001, the Washington neo-conservative dream of a rainbow of democracy shining from Israel to Afghanistan and traversing Iraq has vanished into thin air. From Kabul to Baghdad, the vision is being wiped out by the truth of hard facts. 1) The American army does not have the resources to play by itself the role of global sheriff. 2) America is not prepared for or interested in nation-building. 3) Military "victories", like Afghanistan and Iraq, mean nothing when they are not complemented by moral and political legitimacy. The lack of legitimacy creates a political void, immediately exploited by radical Islam. Tribal Afghanistan is a Taliban-infested ungovernable chaos trespassed by an anti-American jihad. Iraq is an ungovernable chaos bordering on civil war and trespassed by an anti-American jihad. The Israeli-Palestinian roadmap has been ripped apart. Al-Qaeda, a mutant virus, continues to strike from east Africa to the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri remain on the loose in the Pakistan-Afghan tribal areas. Taliban leader Mullah Omar leads the Afghan jihad from his hideout in the mountains north of Kandahar. And Saddam Hussein, after losing yet another war, has exploded a time bomb in the face of the Pentagon by financing a great deal of the Iraqi resistance - a magnet now attracting people from all over the Arab world. atimes.com
