The Iraqi Situation: A Cabinet at Last, But... |
|
Monday, 02 May 2005 |
I have always insisted that what we are commonly told about the Iraqi
situation by some of the American officials, the pundits of the media,
and the experts from most of the higher centers of wisdom like:
Georgetown, The Brooking Institute, and the like. The news and
information given should not be accepted unquestioningly for the very
simple reason that the current situation in this country is influenced
by a myriad of very complex factors some of which can never be
appreciated except by those inside the country, who are directly
affected by it. I have been outside of the country for almost
three weeks now and during that short time, I felt so much unconnected
with what was happening at home. I did not write anything which
was directly related to those events. I was worried that by my
separation from the field that I would be talking about would sound
very much like the statements of people like Mr. Rumsfield or those
coming from Fox News, CNN, The Washington Post or the other media
giants.

The Roots of the anti-Americanism in the Arab World |
|
Wednesday, 20 April 2005 |
There is unquestionably a great deal and a very strong and widespread
Anti-American feeling in the Arab world. A feeling which
sometimes boils to very severe hatred and spills overtime in frequently
very atrocious incidents. I would like to emphasize and from the
start that this discussion relates more to the American establishment,
the small stratum from the topmost of the ruling hierarchy from the
successive administrations and not to the average American men and
women who I think are very nice, compassionate and extremely friendly.

major hostilities in the war he has launched against Saddam Hussein and
his regime on March 20, 2003, under the codename Operation Iraqi
Freedom has ended. Saddam was on the run, his family were
dispersed in various parts of the country, and the most senior members

in the presidential palaces and the vital centers of the regime were
