Iraq, 9/11

Iraq

America doesn't mind killing her young,

provided it is done neatly and quietly,

in strange, far away places,

hidden from the public spotlight;

where it is neither real

or personal;

only the price to be paid,

in this new war on terror,

which has neither beginning or end,

caught up in this mad glimmering illusion,

part of a master plan,

designed from the beginning,

to bring them to this exact moment,

having nothing to do with freedom,

or the dreams they brought along;

meanwhile, back in the homeland,

leaders look at a world made of matchsticks,

talking of victories and battles won,

while pointing out parallels between

European wars and Marshall plans,

which have as much in common

with Arabian nights as the mad hatter

and Alice in wonderland,

they do not see the truth,

because their eyes are blinded

by the grains of desert sand

blowing in their faces,

while those who led them to this place,

see the logs from which those matchsticks came,

knowing exactly where to thrust the stick,

to make the snarling beast react with rage,

using its power and strength,

to remove the tyrant they could never have

removed by themselves;

tell me, who is leading whom?

insurrections are handled swiftly

and decisively,

in the name of patriotism and

homeland security,

leaving no place for differences or opinions,

only revenge, as 87 billion is pumped into

an economy whose people aren't willing to fight

for their own freedom,

but will reap the rewards of a world,

dependent upon the power

lying beneath their soil,

while those paying for the reconstruction

fall farther and further behind;

watching their children lose hope in a dream

slowly sliding from their grasp.

9/11

ask yourself,

what was that dark, fateful day,

really about?

what was the real agenda?

prior to 9/11, what was the biggest obstacle

preventing fundamentalist Muslims

from achieving their goals?

who prevented them from controlling

the second largest oil fields in the world?

who persecuted them within his borders

on an almost daily basis?

who could be made to look guilty the easiest?

who could stir up old passions and hatred,

in the son of a man who had failed to complete

his mission 10 years earlier?

(paying a heavy political toll as a result)

who had the power to remove this tyrant almost overnight?

inflaming fundamentalist Muslim’s around the world,

rallying them to solidarity world-wide,

forming one of the most powerful alliances

in the history of the Muslim religion,

answer these questions then tell me;

what was the real purpose of 9-11?

in a calculated risk, those responsible took a gamble,

that the most powerful nation in the

history of mankind,

whose history has always been one

of leaping first and asking questions later,

would take the bait,

walking into a well-laid trap,

being fooled by carefully planted clues,

acting on hidden personal agendas,

which had nothing to do with terrorism,

blinded from the truth,

by the need to execute revenge,

tell me,

what was the real purpose?

now instead of being on their side,

the world stands almost united

in condemning their policies,

now voices within are speaking out

and beginning to be heard,

pointing fingers and speaking words of hatred,

against a president and his administration,

who was just as duped as they claim he is duping them,

now instead of wasting thousands of lives

in a hopeless war,

those responsible can simply wait,

obtaining what they want politically,

using the invading American infidels

as the catalyst;

what was the real purpose of 9-11?

Mullah Omar - 'God Willing,
It (America) Will Fall To The Ground'

LONDON - Following are verbatim extracts of the interview on BBC World Service radio with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, conducted in Pashto and broadcast Thursday. The BBC asked the questions through a Taliban intermediary over a satellite telephone. He passed them on to Omar through a hand-held radio, then attached the phone's receiver to the radio for the answers. BBC: What do you think of the current situation in Afghanistan? Omar: You (the BBC) and American puppet radios have created concern. But the current situation in Afghanistan is related to a bigger cause -- that is the destruction of America ... BBC: What do you mean by the destruction of America? Do you have a concrete plan to implement this? Omar: The plan is going ahead and, God willing, it is being implemented. But it is a huge task, which is beyond the will and comprehension of human beings. If God's help is with us, this will happen within a short period of time. Keep in mind this prediction. BBC: Osama Bin Laden has reportedly threatened that he would use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against America. Is your threat related to his? Omar: This is not a matter of weapons. We are hopeful for God's help. The real matter is the extinction of America. And, God willing, it (America) will fall to the ground. BBC: During the past few days, you have lost control of several provinces. Are you hopeful to regain the lost territory? Omar: We are hopeful that you will see the same kind of change that you saw (losing and regaining territory). BBC: What was the reason for the fast retreat? Why have your troops fled the cities? Is it because you suffered heavily from the US bombings or have your soldiers betrayed you? Omar: I told you that it is related to the larger task ... BBC: Can you tell us which provinces are under your control at the moment? Omar: We have four-five provinces. But it is not important how many provinces we have under our control. Once we did not have a single province, and then the time came when we had all the provinces, which we have lost in a week. So the numbers of the provinces are not important. BBC: As your participation in the future government has already been ruled out -- if some of your forces decide to join the future government as representatives of the Taliban in general or to moderate Taliban, will you oppose it? Omar: There is no such thing in the Taliban. All Taliban are moderate. There are two things: extremism ("ifraat", or doing something to excess) and conservatism ("tafreet", or doing something insufficiently). So in that sense, we are all moderates, taking the middle path. The struggle for a broad-based government has been going on for the last 20 years, but nothing came of it. We will not accept a government of wrong-doers. We prefer death than to be a part of an evil government. I tell you, keep this in mind. This is my prediction. You believe it or not -- it's up to you. But we will have to wait and see.
