Mr George Bush,
President of the United States of America
For sometime now I have been thinking, how one can justify the undeniable contradictions
that exist in the international arena -- which are being constantly debated, specially in political
forums and amongst university students. Many questions remain unanswered. These have
prompted me to discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the hopes that it might
bring about an opportunity to redress them.
Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ (PBUH), the great Messenger of God,
Feel obliged to respect human rights,
Present liberalism as a civilization model,
Announce one’s opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and WMDs,
Make “War and Terror” his slogan,
And finally,
Work towards the establishment of a unified international community – a community which
Christ and the virtuous of the Earth will one day govern,
But at the same time,
Have countries attacked; The lives, reputations and possessions of people destroyed and on
the slight chance of the … of a … criminals in a village city, or convoy for example the entire
village, city or convey set ablaze.
Or because of the possibility of the existence of WMDs in one country, it is occupied, around
one hundred thousand people killed, its water sources, agriculture and industry destroyed,
close to 180,000 foreign troops put on the ground, sanctity of private homes of citizens
broken, and the country pushed back perhaps fifty years. At what price? Hundreds of billions
of dollars spent from the treasury of one country and certain other countries and tens of
thousands of young men and women – as occupation troops – put in harms way, taken away
from family and love ones, their hands stained with the blood of others, subjected to so much
psychological pressure that everyday some commit suicide ant those returning home suffer
depression, become sickly and grapple with all sorts of aliments; while some are killed and
their bodies handed of their families.
On the pretext of the existence of WMDs, this great tragedy came to engulf both the peoples
of the occupied and the occupying country. Later it was revealed that no WMDs existed to
begin with.
Of course Saddam was a murderous dictator. But the war was not waged to topple him, the
announced goal of the war was to find and destroy weapons of mass destruction. He was
toppled along the way towards another goal, nevertheless the people of the region are happy
about it. I point out that throughout the many years of the … war on Iran Saddam was
supported by the West.
Mr President,
You might know that I am a teacher. My students ask me how can theses actions be
reconciled with the values outlined at the beginning of this letter and duty to the tradition of
Jesus Christ (PBUH), the Messenger of peace and forgiveness.
When they say other Lawful authorization here, what do you think they mean?
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
AskCALEA
In October 1994, Congress took action to protect public safety and ensure national security by enacting the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (CALEA), Pub. L. No. 103-414, 108 Stat. 4279. The law further defines the existing statutory obligation of telecommunications carriers to assist law enforcement in executing electronic surveillance pursuant to court order or other lawful authorization.
The objective of CALEA implementation is to preserve law enforcement's ability to conduct lawfully-authorized electronic surveillance while preserving public safety, the public's right to privacy, and the telecommunications industry's competitiveness.
I'll bet you can’t wait. Later on after the 6:00 PM showing there will be a concert by the “Jumping Eichmann’s”
A person had taken it upon him self to speak directly to these spurious and chuckle headed claims.
You may find it interesting as an intellectual exercise to view this material. If you are really a fan of Charlie Sheen or any other
Propagators of “the Truth” movement then don’t even go there because you will get pissed.
His analysis of a controlled demolition as some have claimed is worth the price of admission.

Douglas Brinkley is this guy down here in New Orleans who is a professor of History at various universities and I think he had something to do with the D-day museum and he may be on the board there. He was the protégé of Steven Ambrose the noted author and historian. The late Mr. Amborse was also the official biographer of President Eisenhower. Mr. Brinkley is pretty level headed on most things I would say. Here some things he said about Bill Clinton.
Since he is one of the few big shot intellectuals in the area he was called on as an expert several times during the aftermath of Katrina to give his (objective) view point. He let it be known after the storm that he was going to write a book, I mean that is what he does for a living and so he could not exactly pass of the chance to cash in just like anyone else would. It looks as if some people took this seriously and some did not for this guy has a real hard on as most of us do here now about the government. Government of all types, but for anyone that was here the disdain for the local and state government is most palpable. The bottom line is this the Governor cooperated with the book and Ray Nagan did not so guess what? He doesn’t come out too well in Brinkley’s new book. Well it just goes to show you live by the sword and die by the sword. Nagan is outraged that the book was release only a few weeks before the election. I am really surprised that he didn’t call him a raciest since Brinkley is white.
The candidate that receives the blessing of the democratic king makers normally gets 90 to 98 % of the black vote, but with Nagan running against another strong democrat with deep ties to old time politics it remains to be seen if a white guy can beat Nagan anyway. It will be hilarious if he does and really hard to explain to the rest of the country.
Here is the first word about the soon to be released book.
