‘Tis the Season
09 December, 2008
“Happy, happy Thanksgiving. May each of you return to work 5 lbs. (2.4 kg.) heavier on Monday,” an anonymous American manager wrote to employees on the day before the holiday. Contrast the words of this present-day manager to the words of Imam Ali (A.S.) who once said, “I want to eat the kind of food which the poorest of this realm can afford…I want to live, feel and suffer like them.”[i] (More)

Quantum Change or Short Changed?
26 November, 2008
“In 2008, as in previous election years, serious candidates for the highest office in the land will go to considerable lengths to express their deep personal commitment to one foreign country—Israel—as well as their determination to maintain unyielding U.S. support for the Jewish state,” conjectured John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard in 2007.[i] (More)

And The Winner Is…
02 September, 2006
Like an announcer at a sports event, US President Bush has declared the winner of the recent bloody conflict that took place between Israeli Aggression Forces and the Resistance Fighters of Hezbollah to be Israel.[i] This is typical of the “War President” who thinks in terms of win or loose, black or white, good or evil, right or wrong, with us or with the enemy. Only a detached, insensitive individual, who has no regard for the human lives lost and destruction caused by the chaos of war, could frame this disaster in terms of winners and losers. We have all lost.

Root Causes
10 August, 2006
Another day in the New Middle East, and would-be Imperial Dictator Bush is in his summer palace in Crawford, Texas, enjoying a 10+ day vacation. Meanwhile, in other parts of the world such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Lebanon, human beings are suffering and dying with the approval of the US Congress and tacit approval of the majority of Americans, as inferred by the lack of outcry.

The Siege of Lebanon
26 July, 2006
Close to 400 people have been killed in Lebanon while the US Congress debates such pressing issues as stem cell research. The debate centers on the research use of fertilized eggs, that could be viewed as killing POTENTIAL HUMAN BEINGS, which most likely will be thrown out as medical waste. In Lebanon on the other hand, we are talking about ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS, not potential ones, and the US Congress has given “Israel” a green light to destroy even more of them. I am aghast with outrage, not only at the actions of the US Congress, but also at those of the US President!
