Palestinian Blames U.S. for Lack of Money AP on Yahoo! News ^ \| May 3, 2006 \| IBRAHIM BARZAK GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas said Wednesday that U.S. pressure foiled the latest attempt to pay 165,000 government workers by transferring money from abroad directly into their accounts. Haniyeh also appealed to Arab nations to counter the U.S. moves. Reflecting frustration over empty coffers, Haniyeh told a news conference that the Hamas-led government has raised money, but so far has not found a way to get it into the Palestinian areas. Public sector salaries are two months late, largely because Israel and the West have frozen the transfer of funds to the Hamas-led government, branding Hamas a terrorist organization. The Palestinians need $116 million a month to pay salaries. news.yahoo.com

Her son would have died proudly in World War II, and she would have been proud of his contribution! I don't know why you think it's cool for a soldier to die in an illegal and immoral war. Even so, the soldiers do their best--they didn't make the war illegal or immoral, their corrupted leaders did! That a Gold Star Mother should take note of this is not surprising--many did during Vietnam and many do today!!! Why aren't you instead criticizing your SI colleague who heaped insult upon a mother whose son has died? After all, she is fighting to end this war in her son's memory and it is not up to that poster, nor is it up to you when she decides to place a headstone upon his gravesite. Perhaps when she's confident no more of our sons and daughters are dying from Bush's tragedy, she will then have a true ceremony. You and Brian, obviously, do not understand the spiritual emotion of a heartstricken Gold Star Mother!
