"How different America and the world would be if, after the misbegotten invasion, instead of fencing off the Palestine Hotel and in essence fencing off Iraq from the American presence, President Bush had had the "love and wit to win," and drawn a circle that had drawn the Iraqi people in. He didn't, and young Americans and their families, and Iraqis, continue to pay the horrible price."

"The efforts and imported vision of democracy in the Middle East by the US and the EU will not gather any storm after the victory of referendum in Iraq. The ratios of insurgencies will be increased and tough time is ahead for the common people of Iraq."

"This ignorance of reality made me really sad. Are we really too busy to be concerned with our future welfare? Today the headlines read, “US Military Deaths Reach 2,000."

"One must realise that the establishment of a tent city to ward off winter is simply untenable. With the chilly weather descending on these affected areas there is no provision for heating as there is no liquidised gas in the region. While these tents will solve the privacy issues which the people, especially women, of this area are facing, providing tents be costly. It will also expose people to many dangers such as accidental fires. Therefore, a more rational and workable idea would be to relocate the population to relatively warmer areas of the country on a temporary basis."

"...the goal posts have already been fixed. As Amnesty International pointed out, the tribunal’s statute “is not consistent with international law.” The problems with due process are so bad, that “trials and further investigations should not proceed” until the concerns raised by independent international legal experts are “adequately addressed.” No sign of that so far."

"Although Keys did not defeat Blair at the ballot box, his campaign has not stopped. The Labour government is now facing a series of legal challenges launched by the families of British soldiers killed in the Iraq war. Lawyers acting on behalf of ten families and anti-war organisations recently presented evidence to the International Criminal Court that Britain had committed war crimes in its participation in the Iraq war."

"The "neo-conservative" cloak worn by Zionists in the US is designed to bring legitimacy to a political, economic and social ideology called Zionism that is repugnant to most people who are not Jewish, and also to a growing number of Jews."

"Major polls show that the Palestinian population is against attacks on Israel. Likewise, Hamas stopped claiming responsibility for attacks and is gearing up for the parliamentary elections set for January 2006. Yet Israel has chosen to keep the peace process frozen, to mull over the next unilateral step, which according to Sharon and his aides won't be coming for a longtime anyway. This contradicts the mighty claim that Israel has no partner for peace."
