America is Not God ... and its Will is Not Destiny!

Alhayat Aljadeeda - Palestine - Original Article (Arabic)

'If My Blood Awakens the Arab Nation, it is
Worth it.'

It is stupid to underestimate the capacity of the United States or to take lightly what its officials, big or small, say. And it would be politically shortsighted for someone to make this superpower his enemy instead of doing his best to try to bring it to his side, or at least keep it neutral. But America is not God! And its will is not a written destiny! Treating America like a God is foolishness. Last Thursday Condoleeza Rice said that the United States might accept Ehud Olmert's one sided plan to impose final borders for the State of Israel (meaning that Israel will officially annex Palestinian land that it has been chipping away at and building its colonies on). Speaking the language of hawks, this statement is nothing but psychological warfare. At the same time, it is clear that the Bush Administration is having its nose pressed into the mud. It is a problem that makes the Vietnam problem look easy.

Yes, it is evident that the United States is profusely gushing in two ways: in blood and in money. Every day and every night, the situation gets worse, and its impact on American life, the Congress, the newspapers and the media is expanding in such a way, that the President's popularity has suffered.

2. I thought so too. Especially the part about Bush talking to "simple
women.."

3. This commentary is very interesting:
" Ahmadinajad was not just a hot-headed young man when he stood against the U.S. administration, taking a stand to preserve Iran's right to acquire nuclear technologies. Rather, he simply came to the conclusion that power has its limits, and that America is not capable of opening a new front in the heart of Iran while at the same time fighting in Iraq."

This certainly makes sense.
It is good to keep apprised of what the
rest of the world knows.
