Putting politic and violence aside, do we ever wonder why some Middle Eastern oppose the West so much? Maybe they want to modernise themself( whatever that mean?) yet in the mean time, they want to keep their own identity. They are afraid to be absorbed by so called globalization. Arabs in general, and Muslims in particular, are very proud of their culture and tradition, and that is something very hard for westerner to understand.

It is going to be very hard for Tony Blair to cover up Dr. Kelly's murder this time. Running out of excuse Mr. Blair now? Who is going to blame it on this time? BBC? Saddam? It is going to be the begining of the end. The curtains are coming down, the play is over, no standing ovation this time, the main character (Bush and Blair) didn't perform well. they didn't convince the audience, people could tell that they where acting.

Have you ever wonder why we never hear much about atrocity inflicted on the algerian people? well according to an article in Znet by Daniel Mazir: "Western governments have rarely voiced concern to what has been happening just miles away from Southern Europe. The explanation is straightforward: their interests – oil and gas – have never been in danger. The Algerian security forces denied assistance to poor people who were being massacred on a daily basis in remote villages and towns but they have provided absolute protection for oil companies and pipelines.

Finnally we are starting to hear from our soldiers on the frontline, they want to come home. "Well it pretty much makes me lose faith in the Army," said Pfc. Jayson Punyhotra, one of the soldiers grouped around the table. "I mean, I don't really believe anything they tell me. If they told me we were leaving next week, I wouldn't believe them."

So Mr. Rumsfield, if you are reading this! Please stop wasting your time and their lives and bring them back to their families, where they are at least appreciated. Then you will ask what will happen in Iraq if the US army withdrew? well, let the united nation take over, at least they are not going to be hated and attacked by the Iraqi. Then and only then, the world will start to celebrate the removal of Saddam.
