President Bushes Speeck to the U.N. - 0 views

  • Our common security is challenged by regional conflicts -- ethnic and religious strife that is ancient, but not inevitable. In the Middle East, there can be no peace for either side without freedom for both sides
  • Had Saddam Hussein been appeased instead of stopped, he would have endangered the peace and stability of the world. Yet this aggression was stopped -- by the might of coalition forces and the will of the United Nations. To suspend hostilities, to spare himself, Iraq's dictator accepted a series of commitments. The terms were clear, to him and to all. And he agreed to prove he is complying with every one of those obligations. He has proven instead only his contempt for the United Nations, and for all his pledges. By breaking every pledge -- by his deceptions, and by his cruelties -- Saddam Hussein has made the case against himself.
  • n 1991, Security Council Resolution 688 demanded that the Iraqi regime cease at once the repression of its own people, including the systematic repression of minorities -- which the Council said, threatened international peace and security in the region. This demand goes ignored.

  • he founding members resolved that the peace of the world must never again be destroyed by the will and wickedness of any man. We created the United Nations Security Council, so that, unlike the League of Nations, our deliberations would be more than talk, our resolutions would be more than wishes. After generations of deceitful dictators and broken treaties and squandered lives, we dedicated ourselves to standards of human dignity shared by all, and to a system of security defended by all.
  • Tens of thousands of political opponents and ordinary citizens have been subjected to arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, summary execution, and torture by beating and burning, electric shock, starvation, mutilation, and rape. Wives are tortured in front of their husbands, children in the presence of their parents -- and all of these horrors concealed from the world by the apparatus of a totalitarian state.
  • In 1993, Iraq attempted to assassinate the Emir of Kuwait and a former American President. Iraq's government openly praised the attacks of September the 11th. And al Qaeda terrorists escaped from Afghanistan and are known to be in Iraq.
  • U.N. inspectors believe Iraq has produced two to four times the amount of biological agents it declared,
  • s we meet today, it's been almost four years since the last U.N. inspectors set foot in Iraq, four years for the Iraqi regime to plan, and to build, and to test behind the cloak of secrecy.
  • Just months after the 1991 cease-fire, the Security Council twice renewed its demand that the Iraqi regime cooperate fully with inspectors, condemning Iraq's serious violations of its obligations. The Security Council again renewed that demand in 1994, and twice more in 1996, deploring Iraq's clear violations of its obligations. The Security Council renewed its demand three more times in 1997, citing flagrant violations; and three more times in 1998, calling Iraq's behavior totally unacceptable. And in 1999, the demand was renewed yet again.

    demobilize one of the elements of the Marines "Marines", and punish another, after the disclosure of a videotape they portrayed as "punishment" a small puppy, before the one pelted from the rocky hills above the one in Iraq. وجاء في بيان للبحرية الأمريكية الأربعاء، أنه تقرر إنهاء خدمة الجندي ديفيد موتاري على خلفية "الحادث" الذي تم بثه على موقع YouTube، في الثالث من مارس/ آذار الماضي. A statement by the American navy on Wednesday, he decided to terminate the service of the soldier David Mutare against the backdrop of "incident" which was broadcast on the site YouTube, on the third of March last. كما تقرر معاقبة السيرجنت كريسمارفن بانيز إنكارناشيون، بسبب تورطه أيضاً في الحادث، إلا أن البيان لم يكشف طبيعة العقوبة، وكذلك لم تتضح الاتهامات التي تم توجيهها لكلا الجنديين.

W.H.O. Says Iraq Civilian Death Toll Higher Than Cited - 0 views

  •  
    The study is the latest in a long series of attempts to come up with realistic numbers of civilian deaths. The numbers are politically fraught, and researchers' work has been further complicated by problems in collecting data while working in a war zone. The estimates have varied widely. The Iraq Body Count, a nongovernmental group based in Britain that bases its numbers on news media accounts, put the number of civilians dead at 47,668 during the same period of time as the World Health Organization study, the W.H.O. report said. President Bush in the past used a number that was similar to one put forward at the time by the Iraq Body Count. But another study, by Johns Hopkins, which has come under criticism for its methodology, cited an estimate of about 600,000 dead between the war's start, in March 2003, and July 2006. The World Health Organization said its study, based on interviews with families, indicated with a 95 percent degree of statistical certainty that between 104,000 and 223,000 civilians had died. It based its estimate of 151,000 deaths on that range. Those figures made violence the leading cause of adult male deaths in Iraq and one of the leading causes of death for the population as a whole, the health organization research team reported online in the New England Journal of Medicine. More than half the violent deaths occurred in Baghdad. While the new study appears to have the broadest scope to date, increasing its reliability, well known limitations of such efforts in war areas make it unlikely to resolve debate about the extent of the killing in Iraq. Iraqi officials gave conflicting assessments of the newest study, with one senior Health Ministry official praising it and another saying the numbers were exaggerated. The White House said that it had not seen the study and would not comment on its estimated death toll, but that the recent increase in American forces had reduced civilian and military casualties.

Pray less, work more, says Islamic preacher - 0 views

  • According to an official study, Egypt's six million government employees are estimated to spend an average of only 27 minutes per day actually working, reflecting a real problem with productivity.
  • Qaradawi's fatwa is aimed at removing prayer as a pretext for not producing.
  • Religious beliefs in Egypt are very overt, from the headscarf covering the majority of women's heads to the bruise on many a man's forehead showing how piously and how often he has touched his head to the ground in prostration.

انقسام في مصر حول "زبيبة الصلاة" - 0 views

  •  
    كان ما يعرف بـ"زبيبة الصلاة" علامة تميز المسنين من المسلمين، وكانت تعتبر ثمرة سنوات طويلة من العبادة، أما الآن فلم يعد من النادر رؤيتها على جباه الشباب. وما يعرف بـ "الزبيبة" ما هو إلا بقعة من الجلد المتقرن تنشأ على الجبين نتيجة احتكاكه بسطح خشن عند السجود. وينظر البعض الى "الزبيبة" على أنها علامة من علامات العبادة، بينما يعتبرها البعض الآخر "مظهرا للتفاخر". والأسوأ من ذلك هو أن هناك مخاوف من تحول استعراض "مظاهر الإيمان" كالزبيبة والحجاب الى حالة من التعسف ضد من يعتبرون مخالفين، وقد شكا بعض الليبراليين والمسيحيين من تعرضهم للمضايقات في مكان العمل بسبب "عدم التزامهم". "هبة من الله" في الماضي كان ظهور الزبيبة علامة على كثرة السجود على مدى سنوات طويلة، وبالتالي فقد كان من الطبيعي أن تظهر على جباه المسنين، أما في العقود الأخيرة ومع ازياد توجه المصريين الى التدين أصبحت تظهر على جباه الشبان كمظهر من مظاهر التدين يقابله ارتداء الحجاب عند الفتيات. ولكن لا تظهر الزبيبة على جباه جميع المسلمين، وتختلف الآراء حول مصدرها، فهناك من يقول انها مرتبطة بنمط الجلد، وربما تعمد الشخص اختلاقها، أو قد تكون ناتجة عن نوع معين من السجاد. إلا أن البعض يعتقد أنها هبة من الله. ويعتقد بعض الشبان المصريين ال
