DEAR PEGGY: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR peggy-north@monthlyherald.com
ISRAEL NOT TO GO BACK TO 1967 BORDERS, SAID PRESIDENT BUSH
The
Israel News reported that USA's Chamber of Representatives approved with a
majority of 407 votes against 9 the principles written in George Bush's letter
to Ariel Sharon which in particular acknowledges that Israel is not to go back
to the 1967 borders. Few Americans knew about this including Arabs and
Palestinians living in the United States. I just read the news today. Another
blunder by President George Bush. It is evident this president has no good
intention to help the Palestinians. Remind you the United Nations and more
than 179 countries requested Israel to go back to 1967 borders but Bush
said NO. No comments needed. Selim Hobeika, Michigan, USA.
MICHAEL MOORE IS A GENIUS AND A REAL PATRIOT
I saw Fahrenheit 9/11. It is accurate and real. Every American should see it. It tells you who George Bush really is and what a kind of a man hides behind the presidential mask. Bernard Ferguson, Los Angeles, California, USA.
FAHRENHEIT 9/11. MICHAEL MOORE IS A TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY, REALLY?
Michael
Moore is a traitor to his country. Definition: TRAITOR = ONE WHO BETRAYS HIS
COUNTRY. War (jihad) was declared on the US over 10 years ago. The first
attack on the WTC was in 1993 but not until the SECOND ATTACK in 2001 did the
US respond. Now in the middle of this war Mr. Moore deliberately attacks the
character of the commander in chief giving aid and comfort to the enemies
(plural) of our country. This goes beyond shame - it is criminal. Mr. Moore
who supported Ralph Nader in the last election thus ensuring the election of
George Bush in a very tight race against Al Gore now has proclaimed he again
wants to sway the election - this time in favor of Kerry. I for one will be
voting for Ralph Nader as the true anti-war candidate. But I think the
American people will decide that in a time of war it is better not to change
horses in mid-stream. Dick Chester, Los Angeles, California, USA.
THE US FOREIGN POLICY LIES HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY GROTESQUE
"The war on terrorism is an integral part of Bush’s National Security Doctrine . It is being used as a pretext for waging war on Iraq. Many antiwar activists are unaware that successive US administrations have over the last 20 years supported Islamic terrorism including Al Qaeda . The latter is a creation of the CIA. It is a key instrument of US foreign policy"...In the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, the foreign policy lies have become increasingly grotesque. Yet neither the media nor foreign governments (including those of France, Germany and Russia) have had the courage of openly accusing the Bush administration of lying to the UN Security Council, to build a pretext for waging war in violation of the UN charter. According to a "top secret British document", quoted by the BBC "there is nothing but enmity between Iraq and Al Qaeda. The BBC said the leak came from [British] intelligence officials upset that their work was being used to justify war." (quoted in Daily News, New York, 6 February 2003).
