"Bush was quick to criticize the UN over millions of dollars stolen from the Oil-for-Food Program under Saddam. But the CPA, as the successor to Oil-for-Food Program, aka Development Fund for Iraq, involves the swindling of billions of dollars."

"A recent report by World Bank on the living conditions in Gaza gives a fair idea of the Palestinian economy. It mentions that 47 per cent of the population now lives below the poverty line and a quarter of the workforce remains unemployed. More than 60,000 residents — 16 per cent of the population — cannot even afford the basic necessities for subsistence."

"Pakistan’s position on the Iran’s nuclear program has always been straightforward. Islamabad has categorically advocated a dialogue-based process to settle the issue of Iran’s nuclear program. Equally it has opposed force as a dispute settler and has argued for a political settlement of the issue."

"Anyone who resorts to terrorism, maintaining that violence is the only way to achieve his aims, is actually under the influence of Social Darwinism and materialist thought, no matter what his religion or race, or what group he belongs to. Modern terrorist groups that claim to act in the name of religion are also under Darwinism's influence and materialism, even though they claim to carry out their terroristic acts in the name of religion."

"On 09/11/05, demonstrators in Baltimore City turned out to protest rabid militarism and the Iraqi War. If this action also leads political hack, Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD), to speak out against the Iraqi War and to stop funding it, it will be a huge success! Her priority has been to give tens of billions of taxpayers’ money to Israel, while the Chesapeake Bay is dying from “dead zones,” and the levees at N.O. were in desperate need of repairs."

"It's time to rebuild the Twin Towers. On this 9/11, it would be nice if someone uttered the obvious truth: the only true memorial to 9/11 is rebuilding the Twin Towers. That, and nothing less."

"While military spending zooms upward, a downward slide continues for education, health care, housing, environmental protection, emergency preparedness and a wide array of other essentials. Across the United States, communities are suffering grim consequences. “Now it should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity and life of America today can ignore the present war,” Martin Luther King Jr. said in 1967. The same statement is profoundly true in 2005."

"George Bush needs to acknowledge that he has lost control of the situation in Iraq."
