    Is the US Waging Israel’s Wars?
    By LINDA S. HEARD
    Many throughout the Muslim world and beyond are asking this question: What are the real reasons behind the US invasion of Iraq and its wish to overthrow the governments of Syria and Iran?
    For all their grandiose posturing, in truth, Iraq, Syria and Iran have never posed a direct threat to the US mainland. Put simply, they’re too far away from the neighbourhood. So why would the US be willing to expend so many (…)

    CIA officer Mary McCarthy was sent packing for allegedly exposing Herr Bush’s practice of kidnapping Arabs and placing them in gulags ............. This malign evil is reminiscent of the behaviour of longtime Bush family friend , the deposed Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.......... Officer McCarthy denies that she leaked this material to the Washington Post’s Dana Priest ........... In any event this leak served the greater good and deserves to classified under the rubric of (…)

    Three years ago we were spending time together, every moment we could, building the type of relationship we would need to survive the unknown we were about to face.
    It was our choice - going to war. Based on the information we had, and knowing that we don’t take our commitments lightly, we knew that we would face this duty to country together - the commitment we had made. Kevin to defend the constitution, the country and all that it represented as a volunteer in the (…)

    The search is finally over. Sen. John Kerry is believed to have found his heroic voice. He apparently misplaced it back in the early ’70s after standing up to the U.S. war in Vietnam upon his saluted return from battle. Now many antiwar liberals believe Kerry is dissenting yet again.
    "I have come here today to reaffirm that it was right to dissent in 1971 from a war that was wrong. And to affirm that it is both a right and an obligation for Americans today to disagree with a president who (…)

    I DON’T usually tell these stories, because they might give rise to the suspicion that I am paranoid.
    For example: 27 years ago, I was invited to give a lecture-tour in 30 American universities, including all the most prestigious ones - Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Berkeley and so on. My host was the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a respected non-Jewish organization, but the lectures themselves were to be held under the auspices of the Jewish Bet-Hillel chaplains.
