Iran’s Mullocracy Makes War Inevitable

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:21:12 +0000

Moshe Sharon writes that has Israel has only shot at Iran. Success is vital in a surgical strike for if it fails utterly or beyond expectations, Iran and its proxies could deliver a blow that could end Israel’s existence.

Personally I think success or failure is irrelevant. A surgical strike on Iran’s nuke capability may make the world safer from radiation fall-out; however Iran and it military surrogates are going to respond anyway. I suspect America’s aid might be the only thing to tip Israel’s defense to a favorable outcome.

Does that mean Israel should abandon a surgical strike against Iran because the stakes would be inevitable?

I say no!

Sharon also points out that the Mullah controlled Shi’ites of Iran and Ahmadinejad’s belief in Mohammedan destiny means Iran will attack Israel eventually. Sharon quotes a Mohammedan Hadith (which the Sunnis also preach) that is prevalent clerical sermons:

The last hour will not come unless the Muslims fight against the Jews, and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and the stone or the tree would say: "Muslim! Servant of Allah! Here is a Jew behind me; come and kill him!"

Coupling this Mohammedan race hatred of Jews and a military desire to rebuild the ancient Iranian hegemony in the Middle East probably means Israel will be the inevitable focus for a reason to begin a war. Thus Israel may be faced with fighting a conventional war or a nuke war. Israel could lose both with undoubted Israeli defensive damage to the Mohammedan world; however a conventional war might be Israel’s best chance to survive.

Sharon points out effectively that Iran or any other aggressors might be stung pretty badly by an Israeli strike; however the little sliver of a land known as Israel could be devastated off the map. Thus Sharon points outs Israel only has one shot.

Hizbullah Gears Up For War, Olmert Asks for UN Help

Hezbollah rocket ranges

Here is another Mainstream Media (MSM) failure: Hezbollah is arming missile war heads with chemical weapons.

Israel ended the invasion of Lebanon because the United Nations promised a security force that would stand between Syria and Hezbollah. The U.N. organization so called is the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). UNIFIL is so worthless that it does not even attempt to stop the flow of arms from Syria to Hezbollah and yet is quick to point out any potential violations of Israel’s agreement to cease hostility inside Lebanon aimed at Syria and Iran’s client terrorist organization known as Hezbollah.

Now with speculation that Israel (and some hint America) may operate a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear capabilities we read that Hezbollah is arming their missiles with Chemical WMD.

The United Nations is a piece of irresponsible dung and UNIFIL is the dung client doing the dhimmi wishes of radical Islam which is determined to wipe Israel off the map.

ATTACKING IRAN IS NOT THE ANSWER.

Voices For Peace

"It is time for all people of conscience to call upon America to return to the true home of brotherhood and peaceful pursuits. We cannot remain silent as our nation engages in one of history's most cruel and senseless wars. During these days of human travail we must encourage creative dissenters. We need them because the thunder of their fearless voices will be the only sound stronger than the blasts of bombs and the clamor of war hysteria."

Watch the Traffik

nobody@vox.com(Gerard Kelly) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:54:29 +0000

The Jammed

The Jammed is an Australian movie that ventures deep into the world of people trafficking. Based partly in Melbourne but mostly in Sydney's notorious 'Kings Cross' district, the film follows the fortunes of three prostitutes - two Chinese and one Russian - who have each been trafficked into the sex trade. Without being gratuitous or voyeuristic, The Jammed takes a close and detailed look at the lives of these girls, and traces the path by which family poverty and debt lead to exploitation and violence. The film is very Australian, but hits the bullseye in its portrayal of people trafficking and as such travels well into the European scene. Trafficking is a global industry and like MacDonalds and Starbucks, it tends to follow pretty much the same rules wherever it shows up.

The Jammed is not a comfortable film to watch. I remember a year ago watching Dennis Quaid in 'Savior' - a story of the Bosnian and Croatian wars inpired by eye-witness accounts - and feeling the same as I felt last week about The Jammed. These movies are graphic, disturbing and difficult to watch, but they are also very truthful, and as such an important part of our lives. There is a climactic scene in 'Savior' that still disturbs my memories - not because it is a 'Nightmare on Elm Street' fearfest, but because it records an event that probably happened, and if it didn't is so close to events that did that it might as well have: and it happened to people not a thousands miles from my front doorstep; people I am privileged to spend time with every now and then. Film-making is not just about escapism. Sometimes it is about showing us precisely the things we are trying to escape from. I recommend both movies very highly.

Sudan President being charged with Genocide

nobody@vox.com(> joeRYAN) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:35:56 +0000

So it looks like someone is finally doing something about Darfur and the disgusting genocide that's been going on over there. I love how we rush to places we need to be in to stop "Terror" while tons of innocents are being slaughtered, Africans none the less. This makes my stomach turn like Hurricane Katrina, no wonder the world still thinks whites hate blacks, it's almost like we try to make it obvious sometimes. I bet if the good ol white folk in South Africa were being killed, we'd be right there.
