"The left is dead and gone. The progressives are in denial. The country is headed towards further disaster no matter who wins the election. Even in Kerry wins, the progressives will take four years to understand their error, and by then, the far right will be set to lie their way back into power."

"Killing Arabs and ripping them off, with the assistance of the Likudniks and the Shaky Sheiks of Araby, is an old British ritual."

"A new generation of Arab Americans is now ready to take its rightful place in the political process and to make a difference in our country. Of this, we can be proud."

"Many are calling for international intervention in the Negev."

"After first gaining support for this special session from key OIC members, Pakistan should call for the holding of this session. Instead of going it alone or being encouraged by the decision of one or two other Muslim countries, Pakistan should lead the initiative to take a collective decision on the issue of Iraq. Meanwhile at home the parliament should initiate a debate on sending our troops to Iraq. In the media the issue is already being debated."

"Democracies find it a great deal easier to muster public support for wholesale oppression, exploitation, and mass murder when they are able portray the enemy in one-dimensional terms, as evil terrorists, killers who have no respect for human life."

"The banking industry should determine where improvement is needed, how service can be improved and where operating system breakdowns occur, why they occur and how they can be avoided."

"The greatest gift General Musharraf can give the country and its Armed Forces is to set in motion a comprehensive process to achieve the professionalism that is necessary to fight 21st century battles."

"As for the majority of people, they think that every emotion to which the name of "love" is ascribed is virtuous, pure, and even holy, and that examples of romantic longing, such as what we have mentioned above, are perfectly acceptable."

"The elite has built a system of domination, exploitation and alienation that embraces the four basic relations of the human beings. It extends from the two centers of world power, the United States and the European Union, to the poverty ridden slums of our inner cities, Africa, Asia and Latin America."

"The American people ought to think carefully about such matters. Desire for revenge never settled any international conflict, and America, despite its military preeminence, cannot fight the whole world and win. But American can bankrupt itself by overextending itself and alienating former friends and allies."

"The strategy of Sharon and his generals is simple and brutal: to destroy the Palestinian Authority, turn life in the occupied territories into hell, disintegrate Palestinian society and drive the survivors from the country, not in one dramatic sweep (as in 1948) but in a slow, continuous, creeping process."

"The disease of schizophrenia provides a poignant analogy of the spiritual condition of romantic nationalism, which is based on a number of errant ideas, chief among them being the notion of "blood" and "fatherland," which it then idolizes and turns into obsessions to be pursued blindly."

"Unfortunately, First World global media outlets are ignoring massive global mortality and the complicity of prosperous nations in a collective act of enormous holocaust denial. War is massively destructive. Lying by omission or commission obviates sensible, scientific approaches to global problems. A humane future will require truth, peace, dialogue, generosity and reconciliation - but above all, truth."

"Effective and timely action in Darfur, however, requires the broadest possible international coalition applying pressure upon the Sudanese government, and there is a danger of fatal delay in hair-splitting arguments over semantics, as happened in Rwanda and Bosnia."

"While Saddam Hussein's regime may have found ways to capture funds that were meant to serve the Iraqi population, abuse of oil monies seems to be occurring on a similar scale in US-occupied Iraq."

"Though israeli critics are a minority, they are bolder and more numerous than those in the USA, where open questioning seems more dangerous and is immediately labeled anti-Semitism."

"As is indexed in the folio of the history, India is fully aware of the fact that not a single Kashmiri shall vote for New Delhi and that-is-why the treacherous Indians are evading the UN resolutions with one sham excuse — one-way or the other."

"Given the current state of the union, not all American deaths are equal. The president of the United States will never mention Rachel Corrie or dispatch FBI agents to investigate the circumstances of her death. Every American adult who pays attention to these matters knows that George Bush will not embarrass Sharon with pesky questions on what happened to Rachel."

"Canada’s national newspaper has the cachet of respectability, so when one of its writers bastardizes the historical record to serve Israel the effect is more worrisome. On July 14, editorial page editor Marcus Gee wrote a column defending Israel’s Wall, but demonstrated virtually no comprehension of the subject."
