I have always admired the U.S. for their advocacy of democracy and equality. Americans have contributed so much towards stopping negative developments in the world and they have continued to support our government’s efforts to recover from our financial crisis. But now the U.S. has shown hypocrisy and double standards in dealing with Muslim countries in order to achieve the objective of gaining control of Iraq. It had to propagate lies, half-truths and inaccuracies to such an extent that it has totally undermined its own credibility.

Despite claims to the contrary, it is clear that it is the Muslim world and Muslim governments that are being targeted. These injustices to our fellow Muslim brothers will only result to more FATHUR AL GHOZI recruits. Half a million Muslim children in Iraq and Afghanistan have died because of U.S. sanctions and, sadly, more will die before the American troops decide to eave Iraq. The Gulf War was the start of the Americans’ arrogant show of force. It showed that the US has complete liberty to decide on what to do with any state. The war against Saddam Hussein was portrayed as an international effort, but in reality it was a US military action intended to get complete control of the oil-rich Middle East. Although previous years have shown how the U.S. military have attacked Somalia and other countries, Bush’s decision to attack Iraq without a UN mandate has shown that they no longer pay respect to international laws and human rights. Ironically they also continue to mouth the words “international laws” and “human rights” in its mad drive to be the world’s lone “super power”. It did not respect the multilateral process of the UN and its charter.

Let’s face it, the UN has become a useless debating chamber. In terms of enforcing its policies, a concrete example of its inability would be the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands by Israel this despite the fact that many of the UN members totally disagree with Israel’s actions. And let me ask you, can the US war games in Muslim Mindanao be any different? These are all blatant violations of UN resolutions. Muslims have been repeatedly the targets of gross misrepresentation and verbal disrespect. Highly visible to Muslims is the political hypocrisy that routinely makes Muslims shortchanged. All the Muslims around the world whatever their differences are united in their outrage over the obvious singling out of Muslims with regard to the enforcement of the ban on nuclear proliferation. The injustice of how Israel was created and the long chain of related events have also been a symbol of niversal Muslim grievances. The rush to liberate Kuwait while Bosnia-Herzegovina was allowed to be partitioned and devastated by its Serbian and Croatian neighbors show the biases against Muslims. I have lost a lot of respect for the U.S. as a country that is supposed to uphold the rule of law and human rights.

In its proclaimed fight against international terrorism, it is endangered of becoming a “terror” itself – acting like a law unto itself. The Americans have placed this war on our doorsteps, as seen in the necessary increase in security precautions here in the Philippines this past few months. For Muslim countries, the U.S. has lost its credibility as the defender of values it seeks to preach around the world. I guess the September 11 attacks have been used as an alibi for the U.S. to fulfill its imperial ambitions. nd this whole war against “terrorism” was hyped up to convince the rest of the world that its unjust war against Muslims is justifiable. Unless there is a change in the kafirs’ attitudes towards Muslims, a just and lasting peace will never be possible. Isn’t it time that the US realized the error in its approach toward combating terrorism? Isn’t it pointless to wage a full-scale war which not only claims countless innocent lives and creates further destruction, but also breeds hatred and new supporters of Islamic xtremism? The solution instead should be to alleviate some of the desperation felt by most of our mujaheedin brothers, isolate the troublemakers or fanatics and promote justice, freedom and democratic values throughout the Muslim world. That can only be won through negotiation, education and peace offerings– never through the barrel of a gun.

WASSALAM!

	Indeed, the US, as engineered by the Israel Lobby, has been showing double standards in Islamic countries, especially in the Middle East. The Jews in America, no doubt, control the Western Media, banks, and of course US foreign policy in a pro Israel direction! The world had witnessed how the US supports Israel not only in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq but also its plans to attack Iran. In the name of OIL, by controlling Iraq( with the second largest oil reserves) and Iran ( third largest) and to create strong and stable democratic regimes in Muslim countries to protect its interests and of Israel, and of course convert the whole world to American-style capitalist democracy, the great Shaitan, Mr. Bush, has declared his JIHAD against the Muslims.  I dont admire the US for their advocacy of democracy and equality in the sense that it is forcing Muslim countries to democracy which is alien to them! Where is equality when, right or wrong, it always support Israel! Also, one of the root causes of the financial crisis of developing countries like the Philippines, is the IMF (US controlled bank) policy of providing dollar loans so that this way they are eternally stuck with loans and growing interest charges. So the so called"help" to developing countries is nothing else but oppression!  No doubt, the REAL TERRORIST is the Great Shaitan- Mr. Bush. The fraudulence of the "WAR on Terror" is clearly revealed lately by US and Israel actions that preceded and followed its launch! Invading Iraq unprovoked violated the Charter of the UN, an international crime, but again the Un is helpless,indeed!The military incursions into Afghanistan and Iraq were not done in retaliation for 9/11, its objectives has nothing to do with terrorism.Afghanistan ,with its strategically valuable location for a pipeline to connect the immense oil gas resources of the Caspian basin to the richest markets,was overthrown.Iraq was invaded , hatched in 1992 yet, and no Al-qaeda terrorists at all! Today, 2 American and 2 British oil companies are poised to claim immense profits from 81 percent of Iraq's underdeveloped crude oil reserves! Soon, Iran will follow that may lead to World War III!  Who can stop this madness of the Great Shaitan(Bush and his deputy, the mad dog VP Cheney? May Allah protect us!
