"It is dangerous to give governments—whether state or federal—the power to kill people."

"It was indeed a major opposition victory when Omar Karami's four-month-old government was pushed out of office. The government's resignation came just one day before a parliamentary session that would have seen a no-confidence motion come to a vote."

"The main American objective is, of course, the overthrow of the Ayatollahs in Iran. (It is a little bit ironic that at the same time the Americans are helping to install the Shiites in power in neighboring Iraq, where they insist on introducing Islamic law.)"

"The fact that tens of millions of viewers, including young people, watch such insidious programming is cause for despair. Overall, the United States is heavily socialized by the likes of what dominates TV screens."

"History is replete with examples of Western duplicity against Muslim nations. Today it is the USA, yesterday it was France, Italy and Britain, and the day before yesterday Spain, Holland and Russia. And the tragic cycle of betrayal goes on, sometimes with newer faces. The nations of the West must earn their trust before the Muslim world will rely on them."

"...anti-Americanism in Pakistani society is outcome of various inter-related factors."

"Israel insists that it will not release Palestinians convicted with the killing of Israelis. However, in most cases, Israeli courts fail to prove a detainee's direct responsibility for the death of Israelis. According to the IPS, only 2,731 Palestinian prisoners have "blood on their hands." If that is the actual number, then the vast majority of Palestinian prisoners are political prisoners who have been arrested for political expression or for no legitimate security reason. This is in contradiction to international covenants enshrining the freedom of speech for all persons, especially political dissidents."

Using “democracy” “power” and “personal mission” in one sentence invites allusion to the Crusades, with all of its attendant tyranny, cruelty and destuction. This is the essence of Bush’s imperial “democracy,” and Gee is covering it up.
