Israel wants the US to fight all enemies of Israel. When the US obligingly do so, most Moslems think "Oh, the US hates us, usually they use Israel as their weapon against Moslems, now they are fighting us directly." By "disassociate" I meant cease the economic, military and political(vetoing Security Council recommendations) assistance to Israel. If that happened the US would disappear from interest to the world's Moslems,just as they are relatively uninterested in, let's say, China. As for private investments, who in the world cares where US private citizens are placing their money? Democrats don't speak out against the wildly pro Israel policy because they are afraid, politically of the Israel lobby. Its something like the power of the gun lobby. They would be accused of being anti-Jewish, (rather than anti-Zionism). If they had any $ support from the Zionists they would certainly lose it. There is no question of assassination. Why does the US get so angry at Iran? Most of the dictatorships of the world are as bad as Iran or worse. But the focus is on enemies of the Israeli government, and Iran certainly is one of those.

New-born baby named "Celtel" A pregnant woman at home alone in her remote village in Sierra Leone unexpectedly went into a difficult labor and, with no access to a doctor or medical facilities, a minor medical emergency could have taken a tragic turn. But the woman, Emma Sesay, managed to use one of the few cellphones in the village of Port Loko and called her husband, who borrowed a car and rushed home from his job, picking up a midwife along the way. They arrived in time to help Sesay give birth to a healthy boy, whom she promptly christened Celtel, the name of the cellphone company that provides services in her village by David Ajao 2006-09-06 16:40:45 The positive impact of mobile communications in Africa cannot be over-emphasized. Indeed, the impacts of mobile telephony on the African continent, are tremendous. It is thus not much of a surprise that a woman in Sierra Leone, out of joy at the help a timely mobile phone brought her, named her baby: "Celtel". Eric Sylvers of International Herald Tribune, disclosed this in a write-up that was published in May 2006 and titled: Connecting developing nations. The first two paragraphs read: A pregnant woman at home alone in her remote village in Sierra Leone unexpectedly went into a difficult labor and, with no access to a doctor or medical facilities, a minor medical emergency could have taken a tragic turn. But the woman, Emma Sesay, managed to use one of the few cellphones in the village of Port Loko and called her husband, who borrowed a car and rushed home from his job, picking up a midwife along the way. They arrived in time to help Sesay give birth to a healthy boy, whom she promptly christened Celtel, the name of the cellphone company that provides services in her village and many others across 14 African countries, including Burkina Faso, Kenya, Uganda and Madagascar. Celtel today operates in 15 African countries
