#1 NEWSMAX > EXPERTS AGREE: MAJOR TERROR THREATS [to USA] LOOMS. Summer 2007 or not. Also, some Pert personages still hold that a number of nuke devices were indeed snuck over the US border by Latino crime gangs paid/contracted by Terror, and have been set up and are only awaiting orders to strike = detonate. Pert > iff a small 10-kiloton nuke device had been used on 9-11 instead of two airliners, one Milyuhn people would've died on 9-11 in Manhattan.

#2 Whereas wiping out all of Islam strikes me not only to be a good idea but a necessary public health measure.

#3 How far are they prepared to go to stand up to Bush and his failed agenda?

When the islamo-cockroaches come to wipe their collective a$$es with your face...don't call me for sympathy.

#4 From her bio...

While acknowledging that she is a daughter of Wales, Linda considers herself to be a true citizen of the world. A period of over 30 years away from her country of birth - living and working in 16 different countries - has taught Linda a powerful lesson: we are all brothers and sisters under the skin. It is this principle, which has guided Linda more than any other in her passionate penmanship on behalf of victims of racism, discrimination and injustice, whether the perpetrators are individuals or states.

Lindas road has often been a lonely one since she refuses to align herself with any political system, party, activist group, or campaigning society. Without the constraints of belonging and having to toe an official line, she strives to be an objective observer of the international political arena.

However, after many years spent in the Arab world, including Dubai - where she was the Editor of both the Emirates In-flight and the Dubai Airport publications - Linda has grown to love the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf. When I hear the hauntingly beautiful call of the muezzin, I know Im home, she is known to say.

Due to decades of witnessing so many good things about Arab culture - hospitality, compassion, charity and respect for family values - Linda feels that the Arabs, and even Islam, are currently being maligned by leaders of Western powers to suit their own power-led agendas. Portrayals of Arabs as backward or barbaric have long been themes of Hollywood movies, she says, and since September 11, the often gagged and compliant Western media has followed suit. The truth is very different.

Linda urges critics of the Arab world - most of which have never even met an Arab, let alone visited an Arab country - to spend some time in the United Arab Emirates. This is the place where in little over three decades the desert sands have been rolled back to make way for parks, gardens and golf courses; home of the worlds tallest building; the constructor of the worlds only man-made islands able to be seen from space, and most importantly, where citizens from almost every country live together in peace and harmony, she says.

The writers greatest ambition is to witness an end to the terrible suffering of the Palestinian people in her lifetime and a viable Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. She would also like to see a multi-polar world instead of one where a hyper-power is able to ride roughshod, unchallenged.

Hmmm ... is she rooting for Riyadh vs. Teheran or is there room for an eventual nuclear Indonesia in her dreams?

#7 As far back as 2003, Daniel Pipes said we should base in the desert, support native counter-terror and not Islamic clerics, and work against 3rd party interference. There is nothing to stop us from taking retroactive notice.

#8 Hmmm...WMDs "didn't exist"? Frankly, nothing has shaken my belief that Iraq Baathists sent them to Baathist Syria. And nobody lied about their probable existence; statements made by US leaders were well founded and presented with due diligence.

Frankly, after the Anthrax scare in the Fall of 2001, I thought it was the beginning of something much bigger. I defend each and every precaution taken, even if the prospects were not as bleak as first thought.

Re. Anthrax attack victims, I believe that half survived, and most deaths occurred without warning. After the first deaths, NOBODY directly sniffed powder found in envelopes as did the first victim, who did exactly that. THANKS FOR THE WARNING!
