And how often will they cry "wolf"? If they ever DO find any genuine
evidence, who will believe it? (Except the gullible who believe each and
every hoax, and ignore its debunking.)

Neither can most people with something more effective than cornmeal mush
for brains.

Probably the latter - and they've begun gathering up all the large
segments of the Arab world who hate us, getting ready to launch an
all-out surprise attack where we are most vulnerable! (They won't
target Bush, though - he's accomplishing too much of their work for
them.)

Simple...

The United States Military carried out a masterful plan in conjunction
with our friends the British!

The United States CIA had a lot to do with it too.

Dans les situations extrêmes, nous reconnaissons nos propres faiblesses.

Une question vous est posée. Répondez avec sincérité et alors vous pourrez faire votre
autoévaluation morale. C'est rapide, cela ne prendra pas beaucoup de votre temps.

Il s'agit d'une situation imaginaire dans laquelle vous allez décider ce que vous
feriez...

Vous êtes à Washington, au milieu du chaos provoqué par les terribles épisodes de
terrorisme qui accompagnent les périodes de guerre. Vous êtes un reporter photographe qui
travaille pour CNN et vous êtes aux abois, réalisant photo sur photo, des clichés très
impressionnants. Soudain vous apercevez G. W. Bush tentant désespérément d'échapper à un
terroriste armé qui le poursuit. Il est sur le point d'être rattrapé; or vous avez la
possibilité d'utiliser votre portable, pour appeler le FBI afin qu'il lui porte secours,
ou bien de prendre La Photo qui remportera le Prix Pulitzer, qui fera le tour du Monde
montrant la mort d'un homme politique célèbre...

Basé sur vos principes éthiques et moraux et sur la fraternité et la solidarité humaine,
répondez sincèrement :

Feriez-vous la photo en couleur ou en noir et blanc?

PALESTINIANS MOURN SADDAM'S FALL
KHALED ABU TOAMEH Apr. 9, 2003
There was shock and disbelief in the West Bank and Gaza Strip Wednesday as
Palestinians gathered around TV sets to watch US Marines and Iraqi residents
knock down a giant statute of Saddam Hussein in Tahrir Square in central
Baghdad. "I'm stunned and appalled. I can't understand what is happening," said
Rustum Abu Ghazalah, a 30-year-old shopkeeper in the center of Ramallah. He and
grim-faced fellow shopkeepers zapped from one Arab TV station to another with
the hope of discovering that what they were hearing and watching was nothing
more than a US-produced Hollywood film. "This can't be true," grumbled Abu
Ghazaleh. "Where are the suicide bombers? Where are the Fedayeen of Saddam?
Where are the heroic Republican Guards?" Some Palestinian officials, however,
expressed relief that the war was in its final stages now that Saddam's regime
has collapsed. They said they hoped that now the US and the rest of the world
would pay more attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "We hope that
Washington will now have time to solve our problems here," one official told
The Jerusalem Post. "Let's hope that the US will now implement the road map
plan for peace in the Middle East and force Israel to stop its aggression on
our people." Since the beginning of the war, many Palestinians have been
staging daily demonstrations in support of Saddam. The protests have often
turned into anti-American and anti-British rallies where Palestinians burned
effigies of US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
At least two Palestinian groups, Fatah and Islamic Jihad, announced that they
had dispatched suicide bombers to Iraq to join in the fight against the US and
British troops. Hundreds of Palestinian volunteers from Lebanon, Syria and the
West Bank and Gaza Strip are reported to have arrived in Iraq to participate in
the fighting. "This is a sad day for all the Arabs and Muslims, particularly
the Palestinians," said Nael al-Am, a 36-year-old grocery owner in Ramallah. He
is one of the few merchants who still keep a large-size poster of the deposed
Iraqi president. Friends describe him as a staunch supporter of Saddam. "I
invested a lot of money in buying a satellite dish and a new TV set because I
wanted to watch the day the battle for Baghdad begins," explained the bearded
shopkeeper. "I was sure that this was going to be one of the great battles of
the century, where an Arab army would inflict heavy losses on the invading
crusaders. I feel as if a dagger has been stuck in my heart when I see American
soldiers strolling in the heart of Baghdad." Salim Jaber, a taxi driver from
the nearby town of Beitunia, said he decided to call it a day when he heard on
radio the news from Baghdad. "I just couldn't continue driving," he said. "It
was very difficult for me and the passengers. I've never seen such solemn
faces. It was as if they had lost dear ones." Many Palestinians said Saddam was
the only Arab leader who sided with them both morally and financially in their
confrontation with Israel. "He gave us a sense of pride because he was the only
Arab leader who stood up against Israel and the US," said Abdel Majiud al-Bahs,
a 46-year-old engineer. "Now that Saddam is gone, the Palestinians feel like
orphans. We have lost an important ally. He was even more popular than Yasser
Arafat." Since the beginning of the intifada more than two years ago, Saddam
has paid about 30 million dollars to families of Palestinian victims of the
violence, including suicide bombers who blew themselves up in Israel. The money
was channeled through the pro-Iraqi Arab Liberation Front, a tiny Palestinian
faction operating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The last time Saddam's
representative handed out checks to Palestinians was last week. Some
Palestinians chose to vent their anger on the Arab media, especially
al-Jazeera, Abu Dhabi and al-Arabiya TV stations, for broadcasting lies about
the developments on the battlefield. "For the past three weeks these stations
gave us the impression that Iraq had the upper hand in the fighting against the
US and British forces," complained Yahya al-Natsheh, the owner of a boutique in
al-Bireh, the twin city of Ramallah. "Where is the liar [Iraqi information
minister Mohammed] Sahhaf," he asked rhetorically. "He sounded and looked so
confidant when he told us that the Iraqis were slaughtering the crusaders and
mercenaries at the gates of Baghdad. Everyone believed that the Iraqis were
cleverly luring the Americans and British into Baghdad, which was supposed into
a huge graveyard for the crusaders." Older Palestinians said the events in Iraq
are reminiscent of the Six Day War, when Arab radio stations and leaders told
their audiences that Israel was on the verge of defeat. They said the TV
appearances of the Iraqi information minister, who remained defiant till the
last minute, insisting that everything was under control and that the enemy had
been defeated. "Sahhaf reminded me of [Egyptian radio propagandist] Ahmed Said,
who during the 1967 war, told us that the Israeli warplanes were falling like
flies," said Abed al-Zamel, a 70-year-old retired schoolteacher from Silwad
village near Ramallah. "Once again the Arabs have fallen victim to the lies of
their leaders and media. We never learn from our mistakes. When the war
erupted, I warned my sons not to watch Arab TV stations so they would not be
disappointed and depressed when the truth eventually comes out."
