Full Text : The President of Iran's Letter To President Bush
Mr George Bush, President of the United States of America
For sometime now I have been thinking, how one can justify
the undeniable contradictions that exist in the international
arena -- which are being constantly debated, specially in
political forums and amongst university students. Many
questions remain unanswered. These have prompted me to
discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the
hopes that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them.

NOT ONE DROP...! IS AS TRUTHFUL AN ARTICLE AS YOU'LL EVER READ: IF THE U.S. ATTACKS IRAN. HENCE, THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL: AMERICA'S DEMISE
QUOTE:
Not One Drop
By Mike Whitney
The real reason Iran has been unfairly singled out
is because they’ve committed the inexcusable crime
of controlling their own resources. This makes them
a potential threat to Israel’s ever-expanding territorial
ambitions and America’s insatiable thirst for oil. The
nuclear issue is a red herring with no merit whatsoever.

The oil trade is uneasy about the increasing impossibility

as the Asian Development Bank was warning its members against
a possible collapse of the US currency. What if the dollar was really
no longer anything but fiat money?

DEMANDS OF IMMIGRANTS DISPLAY A PERVERSION OF LANGUAGE
Georgia Anne Geyer
WASHINGTON -- It's curious that the immigration
civil rights marches by undocumented men and women,
demanding their rights and amnesty while shouting,
"We are America," was held on May Day.
(Copyright (C) 2006 by F. Scott Sinclair. All Rights
Reserved. Comment: Perhaps if illegal aliens-both
men and women-wanted to prove their love (or
allegiance) towards America and a willingness to sacrifice
their lives for a chance to become an American:
they'd volunteer to join our armed forces. There deserved
reward? Citizenship at the other end of the tunnel. I'm
sure military recruiters could find enough recruits in a
pool of 12 million potential recruits, even if they had to
educate them to pass a GED test. And we'd be able to
weed out those who don't want to make a sacrifice
(and those who just want all the benefits: leeches), and/or
contributions to their new homeland. Beside, vetting
new recruits would weed out the undesirables as well. Maybe
we'd find some of those "phantom terrorists" who
destroyed our civil rights because of the enactment of
the Patriot Act because of their despicable behavior.
A win-win situation, don't you think? How's that for handling
two (maybe three--if we find a terrorist or two in the bunch)
problems: amnesty (conditional) and the military
manpower problem? And we wouldn't have to pay the
exorbitant recruitment incentives: the G.I. Bill and cash for
an education, bonuses, and the like. Citizenship is
reward enough. The most cherished reward any immigrant
could ever receive from anybody: citizenship in a
country of your choice. We'd save billions upon billions of dollars
in that regard alone. Two (or three--four) birds
taken out with one stone. Just my humble opinion.
