I been scolling through the news and my emials and here is a intresting email a friend sent me, (thanks Bukhari) and there is a article from the guardian from it...

Step 1. Bomb a country with oil, use any and many excuses.
Step 2. Install a puppet government, too dumb or docile to disagree with you.
Step 3. Rebuild what you destroyed, but only allow companies you have
links with to do the rebuilding at many times the normal cost.
Step 4. Pay these companies with Oil money you have been 'holding' for
the country.
Step 5. Tell your grandchildren, that David Copperfield may have made
the statue of liberty dissappear, But you robbed an entire country in
broad daylight.


Below is a phase in step 4.
Flooding the country with so much money you start refering to it by
weight not amount, so people start handing it out like nothing.

Its mind bogling the kind of figures that are bein mentioned and where the hell has it gone, its tiehr to insurgents or american corps, either one isnt great really as the people of america and iraq are the ones who are getting screwed, however regarding the american citizens i found this poll quite intresting today check this question about the US election...
WOULD YOU VOTE FOR...

A woman? 88% say "Yes"

A black? 94% say "Yes"

A Mormon? 72% say "Yes"

Source: USA Today/Gallup poll, Feb 2007

Who says the world isnt prejudiced? purely by asking the question and giving those possible answers, its ridiculous. I would want to know how many of the people who were asked, responsed by asking the people asking the questions depends on who the candidate was. As I dont see how someone can make a good or bad president on being a women or being black. A Mormon is slightly different, as his faith could influence the decisions that they make, however saying that i still dont think a persons religious denomination without taking into account the character of that person is correct way of voting for a president!


Last night i watched WWE, it went thru a shite phase however now its gon back2bein awesome, the big PPV is on this weekend, i would love to watch it but i dont have the PPV channel and the timing will be when im at work, but this is nothing to the PPV in April the 1st! Wrestlemania, its like the Champs League final, or the superbowl of the wrestling calender. I cant wait, and with my favourite wrestler, John Cena champion it promises to be a sick event. Also randomly Donald Trump will be on the show at wrestlemania, im trying to get my head around why one of the richaest and famous guys in the US would want to be involved in WWE, whatever the reason its going to be great and i would recommend everyone to somehow see it!

SO the Sunni vs Shia beef, well you hear about it alot here, and in most countries in the Islamic world the shias are a minortiy, and so has never really been a issue. The countries where Shias either equal or dominate the population is Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Lebanaon, India (has the 2nd largest shia population after Iran), and parts of the East Cost of Africa. Im sure there are others however their the ones that come to my mind. Now the Shias in the first 4 of those countries listed are taking control of the country and influencing the way the country goes forward, this has led Sunni countries like Saudi, Jordon, Qatar and Egypt to assess the situation and beef up their own security as they feel intimated by a stronger shia precense in the middle east. I know sunni muslims who ddont like Shias, however I am not one of them, I dont really believe as such in demoninations, i mean their are some forms of Islam that i think are completely distorted (i wont go into it incase i offend anyone) however I think Shias and Sunnis have so much in common that the differences between the two are minor and in my opinon isnt enough if God were to condem one to Hell and the other to Heaven on those beliefs.

So anyway regardless of my thoughts or beliefts the insurangants in Iraq and Lebanon see otherwise, and belive that there are two clear lines and your either sunni or shia (or druzze or christian in lebonanons case). I dont know whos fault it is, and find it incredible how there can be so much hatred, the US finds itself in such a difficult postion, however its a position they put themselves in, you have the Mehdi Army, which is one of the largest Shia armies in the world, and Hezzbolla, both strong Shia armies, then you have Al-Queda on the other side, who are numerous in numbers, has so many sister organisations (eg Islamists in Somalia) funding and represents Sunni Islam, the two sides are sworn enemies, however stuck in the middle of the two is the US and UK army in Baghdad. So it would be logical if someone in the army sugguest let the two destroy each other and then will come in when the winner is weakened and destroy them... and i feel thats what they will do. However their are grey areas, where picking sides is not stright forward, you have Hamas, which is a Sunni organisation and yet is closely linked to Hezbolla which is Shia, and you have Syria which is a Sunni country and it has extremly close ties to Iran(which is Shia) so trying to understand the whole political and socialical process that occurs in this small yet powerful region is the key to finding peace in the world, and yet noone is capatable enough to understand the reasoning why such alliances have formed and why the situation that has arisen has arised. For years people in the middle east has lived in peace, they built beautiful buildings, created wonderful civilasations, however now, despite all the naturl riches that the middle east has, it has so many man made horrors that could ultimetly be the end of it in my humble opinon.


Thats all from me , have a good night, and lets hope your with the ones u love...
