for battered Lebanon, from the government of Bangladesh and of course solidarity.
And then you get the other type of help. The type of help which extends support to american war policy but pretends to be with the people of Palestine and Lebanon. Step forward: Saudi Arabia.
And about 30 miles from where I am sitting, American planes are carrying bombs to Israel. Margaret Beckett has finally found a convenient issue to sound indignant about. Convenient because it sounds as if she is criticising Uncle Same but in reality this has little or no bearing on the war.
And don’t be fooled by Kim Howells criticising Israel. We have seen it all before with David Mellor of the Tories. It is a ruse. Nothing else. If your criticism is real, you get bombed and killed like the UN observers in that desperate bunker.

IMPERIALISM = TERRORISM
Former Biggest Imperialist = Great Britain
2nd Biggest ” = France

Is Middle East “The White Man’s Burden” that they have to go there and enforce “their” way of life by taking/destroying millions of lives? Even if they didn’t take/destroy lives, who are they to say what is best for these people and if that is the logic, why can’t Al-qaida or Hezbollah come to Western countries and enforce their way of life? Why would that be wrong?

Those who speak up against this oppression are “terrorists”, (term used by British when they were imperialist, from India to Africa), more precisely labeled “Islamic terroriststs” since they follow Islam and to generalize all muslims in this category among Westerners. So, whenever it is asked among Westerners, what do you think of a muslim? the very first thing they say is ‘terrorist’. Is this a war against terrorism, or Islam (who follow Islam)? or this is the “Tenth Crusade”?
Wikipedia defines Crusade = The Crusades were a series of military campaigns—usually sanctioned by the Papacy—that took place during the 11th through 13th centuries. Originally, they were Roman Catholic Holy Wars to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims,
