Thanks for sharing. Women were oppressed and are still oppressed...I just read Krisie Norment's article too on Honor Killings. It's really sad but like I said before, we need ACTIONS!
The Washington D.C. Peace Rally on January 18, 2003 (Article) - 1/23/2003 7:44:46 PM
I like your point of view but you are wrong about one really big thing. You say that FDR "sacrificed" the men at Pearl Harbor. The idea that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor is a myth. Here are the facts:
* The military knew that an offensive by the Japanese in the Pacific was imminent. American installations, such as Guam, Phillipines, and Midway, were put on alert. The British put their forces in Singapore on alert, as well. However, no one believed that the Japanese would have the audacity to strike so far east. Pearl Harbor also seemed like a particularly unlikely target because the water was too shallow for their airplane-dropped torpedoes (we didn't know that these torpedoes had been modified).
* There is no doubt that FDR wanted into the war, but he wanted to pick a fight with Germany, not Japan. He was sending American ships into the North Atlantic to harass and egg on German U-boats. He had no love for the Japanese, but he considered Germany the bigger threat and Europe more worth saving- and to want to fight a two-front war would have been insane.
* To enact a cover-up that size, FDR would have needed the cooperation of the highest ranking officers in the Navy. Can you say that all of them didn't feel the slightest guilt at murdering their fellow Navy sailors. The idea that they would have gone along with it makes no logical sense.

so right you are. as one who is physically disabled, i applaud your efforts!! (i have arthritis and use crutches for walking.) i prefer to be called disabled or handicapped; i hate to be called differently abled. that label sounds so impersonal and cold; and i DON'T like it. i don't mind special needs; i can handle that one or the above two, but PLEASE DON'T refer me as being DIFFERENTLY ABLED!!! YUK!! love, your friend, karen lynn. ((HUGS))

Great message, Gary. I will never support Bush's phony war on terrorism. Let's hope that the truth will come out about how he knew about 9/11 and allowed it to happen to start this war over poor countries'
resources. It's not axis of evil. It's axis of oil. See an excellect article by Robert Lederman, where he explains what countries like Iraq, Iran and North Korea have in common.

And now Bush is trying to sell us another war, while Americans mourn the lives lost on September 11. Even though Mandela and Kofi Anand spoke strongly against war on Iraq. Excellent points.
