After my Mother gave birth to her first 4 Devils, I was born in 1945 in a French-British Slave colony to fight Satan and defend (unsuccessfully) Freedom, Truth, Justice, and a Universal Moral, Fraternal and Sisterly Way of Life (Islam) AT GREAT PERSONAL COSTS, but, learned too late in life that "humans" did not deserve my sacrifice although the experience saved my humanity!
My mother would give birth to 6 more who never stopped fighting over money and property until they ripped off their own parents, brothers and sisters. The love of money, greed, jealousy, hypocrisy, ignorance, and their hatred of God have been at the root of so much evil that destroyed our family to the great contentment of the European Colonials (Satan) who did everything for that with their GOVERNMENT and SATANIC LAWS! But, the battle has to go on no matter what!
We must not forget the Hindustani and African Genocide and Culturocide perpetrated by the British and French Empires and the Christian Churches.
(BAFS)
The above is the Satanic Deed of DEVIL NUMBER 3 (SATAN HIMSELF). A clipped photograph of me that SATAN had in his possession is seen here stuck on the pig's head. And SATAN and his English wife (both Police informants) sell pork, cigarettes and alcohol in their Restaurant. The Judaic Police called it a JOKE and the media lied about me saying we were victims of Black Magic when I told them it was one of a DEATH THREAT and a case of embezzlement, an attack on my religion and an incitation to hatred and violence from an apostate and very violent man, a former boxer and gang member back home! My home was burgled and my car stolen by Satan! He told the Police the car was his and he came to my property and took it in the middle of the night! I did buy it from him! This is why I say that my mother had given birth to devils! When I arrived in Mauritius in 1968, I saw my bankrupt father had completely lost his mind because of one Dr Raman, a shrink "doctor" and his poisons! When I took over the management of our affairs, most of the Devils in my family declared war on me and THEY WON!
Warmongering Europeans and Judaics are immortal!
Some civilisations rejoice at the departure of their loved ones. Others
lament and die twice!
Judaics lament those who never went to the
homicidal gas chambers that never existed!
Strange world!
Watch out how Pr Anthony Hall is SHAKING IN HIS PANTS when he talks about the "Christian Armenian Genocide" (as if they were a kind of PURE entity) that he says occurred withing the OTTOMAN EMPIRE (which is false!) associated with TURKEY, but omits the real culprits, the JUDAICS, the Crypto-Jews and Kemal the JUDAIC PERVERT!

At broadcast time, the symposium will be live video-streamed in the window above and then immediately archived here thereafter.
Since Raphael Lemkin invented the term
in 1944, “genocide” has entered the law books as an extremely serious
international crime. Throughout the Cold War the UN Convention on the
Prevention and Punishment of Genocide was completely unenforced. Since
the demise of the Soviet Union there have been sporadic attempts to
address this crime as carried out, for instance, in Rwanda and the
former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. There has been less willingness to
address the genocide of Indigenous peoples in North America, Australia
and the Middle East. In Canada some small but important beginnings have
been made to bring forward the concept of the cultural genocide of
Indigenous peoples. This breakthrough has occurred as a result of the
investigation of a federal “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” charged
to investigate federally-funded church-run Christian residential
schools created to cut Aboriginal youths off from access to their
families, communities, languages and indigenous cultural practices.

Well,
well, well - just look who has arrived on the doorstep of Belgium -
JOHN "322" Kerry. Here we see Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel
welcoming the U.S. Secretary of State… Kerry's real family name is "JOHN
KOHN" and "Kohn" is an abbreviation of the name KOHEN or Cohen which
means BROTHER in Hebrew. Mr Kerry has been a member of the SKULL &
BONES Masonic Brotherhood since 1966 - for 50 years he has kept the
ritual secret of the meaning behind his cult's emblem "322". The bombs,
of course, detonatined on 22nd March - which is "3/22".

since I learned about this during the FARCE election where he opposed
his Skull buddy Bush, I made sure I wrote his name John COHEN in order
to show he was hiding his Judaic name! So many Judaics do the same!
[Editor's
note:
On December 1, 2001, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan sent a letter
to President George W. Bush relative to the September 11, 2001 World Trade
Center and Pentagon attacks and the American government's declared War on
Terrorism. Though the correspondence was meant as a private matter,
Jude Wanniski, a former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal and
friend of the Minister, who tried using his contacts to get the Minister's
letter directly into the hands of President Bush and Secretary of State
Colin Powell, released it publicly, without the Minister's consent.
Mr. Wanniski was concerned, however that there was no response after 10
weeks that the letter had been sent. After the Attack on America on
September 11, Minister Farrakhan held a press conference on September 16th,
and it was at this press conference that the Minister said he would write
President Bush, and, it took him almost two months to write the
letter. Since the letter has been made public, Minister Farrakhan
referred to it in his February 17th Saviours' Day 2002 address in Los
Angeles. The letter is printed below in its entirety.]
Farrakhan Exposes Neo-cons, Zionists & Middle East Conspiracy
George W. Bush, President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N. W.
Washington, DC 20500
As-Salaam Alaikum.
(Peace Be Unto You)
Dear President Bush,
May this letter find you, your family and staff in the best of health and
spirit in spite of the prevailing circumstances.
I am Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad, whom I believe Allah (God) raised among the Black people
of America to teach us Islam as a means of our reformation and
resurrection. He was also raised by Allah (God) as a Warner to the
government and people of the United States of America. I sit in His seat by
Allah's (God's) and His permission, therefore, His Mission is my Mission,
and, it is out of my sense of mission and duty that I write.
I am deeply concerned for our country, and, I am deeply concerned for you.
I used the possessive pronoun our, because the blood of my ancestors soaks
this soil and their blood has been shed on every foreign battlefield for
the preservation of this nation. Therefore, we as a people feel a deep
sense of ownership of America as much as any American. It is also out of
this deep sense of concern and ownership that I write to you.
I write you from my prison. A prison without bars that has been made for me
because of the passion for truth and justice out of which I speak, and, the
propaganda that makes me appear to many as anti-White, anti-Christian,
anti-Semitic, and anti-Gay. None of these names accurately describe who I
am. I hope that you will open your heart to what I am writing not
withstanding the prison from which I am writing.
Since Adam, there has not been one person or nation with power and dominion
over the whole earth. This is the awesome position that America holds by
Allah's (God's) permission.
This
indeed is a great trial for you and for America, because, when Allah (God)
allows anyone of us to rule over His servants and a great part of His
creation, He does so to see how we act. If we act well, He will not replace
our rule; however, if we allow the power, wealth, and wisdom that we
possess over Allah's (God's) servants and creation to blind us so that we
act other than as Allah (God) would desire us to act, then, He acts through
the forces of nature and through people to overturn our rule.
This is a very dangerous Hour, but, it is an Hour filled with great
opportunity. What is needed in this Hour is Right or Divine
Guidance. This Guidance must be in accord with the
Time and what this Time demands.
It is written in the Book of Revelation "The nations were angry,
and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be
judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets
and to the saints, and them that fearthy name, small and
great, and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. " (Chapter
11 verse 18)
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, "We are living in the Day of
Judgment." This is what is producing the anger of the nations and
the Wrath of Allah (God). This is the time that those who have been
deprived of justice must receive justice, for, it is only our acting
on the principle of justice that will ease the anger of the nations and
take away the Wrath of Allah (God). There can be no Justice without Truth,
and, there can be no Peace in the world without Justice.
As a nation, America is blessed with wealth, wisdom, science, technology,
and, abundance. America is also blessed with the awesome power to destroy
nations of people. In order for you and America to receive the greatest of
Allah's (God's) Blessings, which is the longevity and perpetuity
that former great nations and empires have not enjoyed, you must rule
according to the Will and the Way of Allah (God).
Mr. President, you and this nation stand in the position of the Vicegerent
of Allah (God). (The person or nation that rules the earth in the place of
Allah (God)). This is why America must rule the world as Allah (God)
Himself would rule, for, she is now standing in His place by His
permission.
Allah (God) also has awesome power to destroy. He is called The Possessor
of Power over all things, and, He is also called The Destroyer, The
Avenger. However, none of these attributes are His principle attributes.
All of His attributes of might and power to avenge and destroy are balanced
by His major attributes, which are Beneficence, Mercy, The Nurturer - of
all things making them attain stage after stage until they reach
perfection, and, King or Judge - who judges with justice. These are the
four greatest attributes of Allah (God).
If America is to be truly triumphant in this Hour, these four great
attributes must give balance and direction to America's awesome power to
destroy and her desire to avenge the horrible act of September 11th.
When
I heard you say that this act against America on September 11th has given
purpose to your administration and that you feel that it is your mission to
destroy the terrorists, their networks, those who harbor them, and, that
the awesome power of America will be used toward this end. This, you hope
will be the legacy that you leave to future generations; you also hope that
the children and the American people will live without the fear of such
evil as we experienced on September 11th. However, within these statements
are my reasons for deep concern.
You have risen to the challenge of this Hour and this Hour has given you
the support of the American people and the support of most of the nations
of the earth. In my humble judgment, what you see as the purpose of your
administration must not hinder or blind you from seeing the possibility of
an even greater purpose and potential legacy.
It is out of this desire to see you fulfill that which will give you the
greatest legacy that I write to you as a humble servant appealing to a
great and powerful nation and ruler. I respectfully say to you that I
believe if you continue this effort in the way that you presently have in
mind, it will not end terrorism, but unfortunately may increase it.
On September 17, 1985, 1 had a vision-like experience where I was told of
the secret plan of President Ronald Reagan who had met with his Joint
Chiefs of Staff in early September 1985 to plan a war. I was not told whom
that war was against, but, within a few months it became clear to me that
the war was against Libya and its Leader, Muammar Gadhafi. President Reagan
on coming into office had as one of his aims the desire to get rid of
Muammar Gadhafi, and to place in the leadership of Libya a regime more favorable
to America's foreign policy interests. The desire of President Reagan also
concerned the planning of a war involving young Black men here on the soil
of America. This is what inspired me to tour the country talking to Black
men urging them to stop the killing of one another, and, this is what
eventually led to the Million Man March on October 16, 1995. Another of
President Reagan's desires was to make null and void the treaty that was
signed by his predecessor, President Jimmy Carter, returning the Panama
Canal to the Panamanian people by the year 2000.
President Manuel Noriega of Panama was demonized by the press, tried in
absentia and found guilty of drug dealing. This was used as the
justification for a violent action that was taken against Panama using the
armed forces of America. However, the real aim was to place in Panama a
government of America's choosing, and, to nullify the treaty signed by
President Carter that gave the Panama Canal back to the Panamanian people.
During President Reagan's administration, Muammar Gadhafi was demonized in
the American press. The bombing of a discotheque in Germany was used by
President Reagan to justify the most expensive assassination attempt in the
history of this nation.
I need not bore you with the details of this because you have access to
information that will verify the truth of what I am writing.
I am writing this to show a consistent pattern of behavior of America's
Presidents, administrations, and the press with respect to those Muslim
leaders and other leaders that America has chosen to denounce as rogues,
and to use as a justification for military action to cover their real
purposes.
President Richard Nixon wrote that the enemy of democracy was not
communism, but, fundamentalist Islam. Every President since the Nixon/Ford
administration has taken some military action against a Muslim nation.
President Jimmy Carter felt that the overthrow of the Shah of Iran,
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, and his replacement with the Islamist regime of
Ayatollah Khomeini was a threat to America's vital interests. So, Saddam
Hussein was given 80 billion dollars with America's approval by the Saudi
government and the rulers of the United Arab Emirates to make Saddam
Hussein a strong military power to use him against the rise of the
so-called fundamentalist regime in Iran. During President Carter's
administration, the American Embassy in Iran was taken and the hostage
crisis began.
The effort of Jimmy Carter to free the hostages through military action
after the fall of the Shah of Iran was a failure. In the negotiations
between our government and the government of Imam Khomeini, it was agreed
that the hostages would be released, but not during the administration of
President Carter. The hostages were released in the early days of President
Reagan's administration. President Reagan also saw Imam Khomeini and his
desire that the Iranian people return to the purity of the faith of Islam
as a threat to America's vital interests in that area of the world.
Your father fulfilled President Reagan's desire concerning the Panama
Canal. Your father also had a problem that involved Saddam Hussein and
Iraq. At the same time that he was prosecuting the war against Saddam
Hussein, a part of that conflict also involved young Black men, gangs and
drugs in America. Although the Gulf War was won by the allied forces,
Saddam Hussein remains in power and has become a fixation with every
succeeding President.
Mr. President, you have now inherited that which Presidents Reagan, Carter,
your father, and President Clinton were not able to complete. What I have
been shown is that you have decided to fulfill their unrealized
expectations.
Afghanistan is only a preliminary to a much wider war which is already
planned, and this war also has a home front aspect as well.
Should you persist in this, you will do what no Islamic Leader is able to
do. No leader of any Muslim nation can call for Jihad or Holy War and cause
the Muslim world to obey that call. The only one who can call for such is
one who sits in the position of Khalifah or successor of the Prophet
Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
Since the destruction of the Caliphate of Islam by corruption within the
ranks of Islam, and European machinations; the rise of nationalism among
Muslim nations has made it difficult and nearly impossible to unify the
Arab and Muslim world on the question of Jihad. However, Mr. President, if
you follow what you have in your mind, which many of those around you are
encouraging you to do, then, you will do what Osama Bin Ladin and no Muslim
extremist could ever do.
You will unite the Muslim world in hostility against America and Great
Britain, and, you will use your great position of power inadvertently to
call for a Holy War against the West.
You will force the more moderate Islamic regimes either not to side with
you, or to side with you at the risk of being overthrown by growing
Islamist forces within their countries.
The coalition that you are gathering will fall away from you and you will
have to pursue this war alone. I am afraid that this extended war may take
a turn that you and your advisors least expect, and involve America in the
greatest of all wars, the War of Armageddon, in which no nation will be
left out, including Russia and China.
I believe there is a better way to win. A way that may appear more
difficult, but, you will be assured of the Help of Allah (God).
The world is with you to pursue those who perpetrated this act of war
against America, and, your pursuit of the guilty parties is right and
proper. However, Mr. President, it will take great courage on your part to
look at America's policies with a critical eye, and, it will take even
greater courage to break from the policies of the past and make a new
beginning for this nation and the world.
You have sent a strong signal to the world in your statement that the
Palestinians should have an independent, sovereign state. If you pursue
this course with firmness and justice, the hot bed of terror in the Middle
East will subside. The more fair, just and equitable the solution to the
Palestinian/Israeli conflict, the more the anger of those on both sides
will subside, and, America will get the credit of settling this 53 year old
problem with justice, thereby justifying America's position as the
Viceregent of Allah (God). Mr. President, with the backing of the American
people and the leaders of the world, if you reexamined policies that are
unfair and changed them, this signal to the world would bring the world and
those so-called enemies and rogue states into your and America's sphere of
influence.
Since America is peopled by the people of the entire world, and, all have
contributed to America's greatness, then, America as the world ruler has an
obligation to the entire world.
There is no need for a clash of civilizations. The Muslim World has much to
learn from the West and the West has much to learn from the Religion of
Islam.
Creating the climate for dialogue will make a great future for America,
and, under her rule a peaceful world can come into existence.
There is no nation on this earth that I know of where I would have the
freedom to speak as I do or write the Head of State as I am writing, and, I
truly appreciate this freedom.
There is no nation on this earth that offers more in the way of freedom
than this nation, however, unrighteousness is what we all should work to
overcome, because in the final analysis, it is righteousness, that will
make this nation truly great. I am appealing to you and imploring you Mr.
President to orchestrate an end to policies that are unjust.
I appreciate the privilege that I have to live in America, and, with all
her faults there is no nation on this earth where I would rather live.
However, this freedom that I enjoy under the constitution lays on me a
heavy responsibility. That is, to protect the best of this nation and to
work to overcome those weaknesses of the nation that are causing her fall.
I have traveled to many countries and have spoken to most of the Heads of
State and Government, and, not one of them has ever said to me that they
hate the American people, but, they have said that they are displeased with
America's foreign policies.
I believe that I can be of service to you, our nation, and to all of those
whom you believe are America's enemies. I believe that all of them can be
made the friends of America. The whole world would like to have America as
a true friend, but, America can never be a true friend of the people
of the earth until and unless she rules with the Wisdom and Spirit of Allah
(God) which reflects itself in our love for humanity, our love for truth,
and our exercise of the principle of justice.
The nations would be willing to share their resources with America with joy
if they believed that they would get a fair price for what they produce
that would allow them to raise the standard of living of their people.
There is nothing that the earth possesses that America could not have easy
access to, if America determined to rule the nations of the earth with the
principle of justice.
If America turns away from this principle and does what she is doing
because she has the power to do it, then, Allah (God) who grants power will
take it from America and bring another people in her place. This does not
have to be, but it will be based on how America conducts herself in this
Hour of her greatest trial and her greatest potential triumph.
Mr. President, please think and pray over what I have written, and, speak
to your advisors and close friends concerning it. I pray that Allah (God)
will grant you the wisdom to see that what I am saying to you is good and
is the way to triumph over the evil and hatred that is in the world against
the United States of America.
May Allah (God) grant you the wisdom to see deeply into the Prophets'
utterances concerning this Hour.
I pray that we will be triumphant over terror and become the Friend of
Allah (God) in so doing.
Best wishes for your success.
Thank you for taking the time to read these words. I Am Your Servant in the
war against evil,
Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

Friendly Page Editor's Note: On Oct. 30, 2002, the the
Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan warned President Bush, in this
letter, of the Divine consequences if he continued with his present
plans. The following is the text of the letter.
National Representative of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of
Islam
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL.
October 30, 2002
George W. Bush, President
of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
As-Salaam Alaikum.
(Peace Be Unto You)
Dear President Bush,
May this letter find you and your family well.
I am writing this letter to once again appeal to you in the strongest way
that you might heed my humble counsel and sincere warning to you. I am not your
enemy, nor am I an enemy to this country, but, I do believe that the course
that you are guiding the nation on will increase many enemies for you and the
nation at home and abroad. In my last letter, I respectfully called your attention
to U.S. Presidents and their dealings with Islamic nations and leaders over the
last several years, and, I warned that should you pursue what I know is in your
mind and heart concerning Saddam Hussein and Iraq that you would lose the great
advantage that you gained after September 11, 2001, and, that the coalition
would fall apart and you might be forced to go it alone. Also, I opined that if
you did such, you might run into something that your advisors had not thought
of or perceived. This is already happening. Nations are becoming afraid of you
and the tremendous power of America. In this state of fear, they will not stop
trying to attain weapons of mass destruction because they believe that is the
only thing that you will respect.
There is a rising chorus of anti-war demonstrations in the nation and
throughout the world and it will intensify as you move toward war with the
thought of occupying Iraq. The anti-war demonstrators will blame every death of
an American service person and every death of an Iraqi citizen on you and this
will produce a crisis for your administration within the United States, as well
as in countries throughout the world.
I am writing to plead with you that there is a better way. However, the more
you talk and the stronger you talk about regime change, you paint yourself into
a corner from which it becomes increasingly difficult to extricate yourself.
There are times in history when men of conviction go against the tide of
world thought and opinion, bringing suffering upon themselves to establish a
new truth or a new idea. However, this is not that time for you. In my
judgment, this is a time when the President of the United States must not only
listen to his advisors and study their agendas, but, he must listen to world
opinion. If the President of the United States seems to show no respect for
world opinion or for the thoughts of the members of the Security Council of the
United Nations, then, your actions will turn the nations of the world against
you and against America.
Your actions will also render the United Nations an ineffective institution
for future peacekeeping.
Ancient Babylon was a city that caused all who traded with her to wax strong,
but, at a certain point, the neighboring nations turned against Babylon and she
was destroyed and left as a sign. The Book of Revelation speaks of a mystery
Babylon that ancient Babylon was a sign of. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, my
teacher and guide, said that America is the fulfillment of that mystery
Babylon.
Mr. President, you must study prophecy in order to beat it.
Look at the nations to the north and south of you. Are they pleased with
you, your administration and your polices? Look at your friends in the Middle
East. Are they really pleased with you, your administration and policies? Look
at your European friends and your African and Asian friends. The prophecy
teaches that, they will take your money and whatever you offer, but they will
hate you and ultimately make you desolate.
We are headed into a terrible time. I am writing this letter as a final
witness of my deep concern for you and for the nation, believing, however, that
you are bent on doing what is in your heart with respect to Iraq and Saddam
Hussein.
Mr. President, if you do this, you will bring down upon America an increase
in the Divine Judgment of rain, hail, snow, wind, earthquakes, pestilence and
famine that is already witnessed in the country. As you go about destroying
other nations and cities, you will bring this kind of Divine Wrath on the
American people and on American cities.
Please reconsider your plans.
May Allah (God) guide you to make the right decision for this nation and for
the future of the world.
I Am Your Servant in the war against evil,
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
Servant to the Lost-Found
Nation of Islam in the West

·The war in Iraq was conceived by 25
neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President
Bush to change the course of history. Two of them, journalists William Kristol
and Charles Krauthammer, say it's possible. But another journalist, Thomas
Friedman (not part of the group), is skeptical.
·1. The doctrine
·WASHINGTON - At the conclusion of its second
week, the war to liberate Iraq wasn't looking good. Not even in Washington. The
assumption of a swift collapse of the Saddam Hussein regime had itself
collapsed. The presupposition that the Iraqi dictatorship would crumble as soon
as mighty America entered the country proved unfounded. The Shi'ites didn't
rise up, the Sunnis fought fiercely. Iraqi guerrilla warfare found the American
generals unprepared and endangered their overextended supply lines.
Nevertheless, 70 percent of the American people continued to support the war;
60 percent thought victory was certain; 74 percent expressed confidence in
President George W. Bush.
·Washington is a small city. It's a place of
human dimensions. A kind of small town that happens to run an empire. A small
town of government officials and members of Congress and personnel of research
institutes and journalists who pretty well all know one another. Everyone is
busy intriguing against everyone else; and everyone gossips about everyone
else.
·In the course of the past year, a new belief has
emerged in the town: the belief in war against Iraq. That ardent faith was
disseminated by a small group of 25 or 30 neoconservatives, almost all of them
Jewish, almost all of them intellectuals (a partial list: Richard Perle, Paul
Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, William Kristol, Eliot Abrams, Charles Krauthammer),
people who are mutual friends and cultivate one another and are convinced that
political ideas are a major driving force of history. They believe that the
right political idea entails a fusion of morality and force, human rights and
grit. The philosophical underpinnings of the Washington neoconservatives are
the writings of Machiavelli, Hobbes and Edmund Burke. They also admire Winston
Churchill and the policy pursued by Ronald Reagan. They tend to read reality in
terms of the failure of the 1930s (Munich) versus the success of the 1980s (the
fall of the Berlin Wall).
·Are they wrong? Have they committed an act of
folly in leading Washington to Baghdad? They don't think so. They continue to
cling to their belief. They are still pretending that everything is more or
less fine. That things will work out. Occasionally, though, they seem to break
out in a cold sweat. This is no longer an academic exercise, one of them says,
we are responsible for what is happening. The ideas we put forward are now
affecting the lives of millions of people. So there are moments when you're
scared. You say, Hell, we came to help, but maybe we made a mistake.
·2. William Kristol
·Has America bitten off more than it can chew?
Bill Kristol says no. True, the press is very negative, but when you examine
the facts in the field you see that there is no terrorism, no mass destruction,
no attacks on Israel. The oil fields in the south have been saved, air control
has been achieved, American forces are deployed 50 miles from Baghdad. So, even
if mistakes were made here and there, they are not serious. America is big
enough to handle that. Kristol hasn't the slightest doubt that in the end,
General Tommy Franks will achieve his goals. The 4th Cavalry Division will soon
enter the fray, and another division is on its way from Texas. So it's possible
that instead of an elegant war with 60 killed in two weeks it will be a less
elegant affair with a thousand killed in two months, but nevertheless Bill
Kristol has no doubt at all that the Iraq Liberation War is a just war, an
obligatory war.
·Kristol is pleasant-looking, of average height,
in his late forties. In the past 18 months he has used his position as editor
of the right-wing Weekly Standard and his status as one of the leaders of the
neoconservative circle in Washington to induce the White House to do battle
against Saddam Hussein. Because Kristol is believed to exercise considerable
influence on the president, Vice President Richard Cheney and Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld, he is also perceived as having been instrumental in getting
Washington to launch this all-out campaign against Baghdad. Sitting behind the
stacks of books that cover his desk at the offices of the Weekly Standard in
Northwest Washington, he tries to convince me that he is not worried. It is
simply inconceivable to him that America will not win. In that event, the
consequences would be catastrophic. No one wants to think seriously about that
possibility.
·What is the war about? I ask. Kristol replies
that at one level it is the war that George Bush is talking about: a war against
a brutal regime that has in its possession weapons of mass destruction. But at
a deeper level it is a greater war, for the shaping of a new Middle East. It is
a war that is intended to change the political culture of the entire region.
Because what happened on September 11, 2001, Kristol says, is that the
Americans looked around and saw that the world is not what they thought it was.
The world is a dangerous place. Therefore the Americans looked for a doctrine
that would enable them to cope with this dangerous world. And the only doctrine
they found was the neoconservative one.
·That doctrine maintains that the problem with
the Middle East is the absence of democracy and of freedom. It follows that the
only way to block people like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden is to
disseminate democracy and freedom. To change radically the cultural and
political dynamics that creates such people. And the way to fight the chaos is
to create a new world order that will be based on freedom and human rights -
and to be ready to use force in order to consolidate this new world. So that,
really, is what the war is about. It is being fought to consolidate a new world
order, to create a new Middle East.
·Does that mean that the war in Iraq is
effectively a neoconservative war? That's what people are saying, Kristol
replies, laughing. But the truth is that it's an American war. The
neoconservatives succeeded because they touched the bedrock of America. The
thing is that America has a profound sense of mission. America has a need to
offer something that transcends a life of comfort, that goes beyond material
success. Therefore, because of their ideals, the Americans accepted what the
neoconservatives proposed. They didn't want to fight a war over interests, but
over values. They wanted a war driven by a moral vision. They wanted to hitch
their wagon to something bigger than themselves.
·Does this moral vision mean that after Iraq will
come the turns of Saudi Arabia and Egypt?
·Kristol says that he is at odds with the
administration on the question of Saudi Arabia. But his opinion is that it is
impossible to let Saudi Arabia just continue what it is doing. It is impossible
to accept the anti-Americanism it is disseminating. The fanatic Wahhabism that
Saudi Arabia engenders is undermining the stability of the entire region. It's
the same with Egypt, he says: we mustn't accept the status quo there. For
Egypt, too, the horizon has to be liberal democracy.
·It has to be understood that in the final
analysis, the stability that the corrupt Arab despots are offering is illusory.
Just as the stability that Yitzhak Rabin received from Yasser Arafat was
illusory. In the end, none of these decadent dictatorships will endure. The
choice is between extremist Islam, secular fascism or democracy. And because of
September 11, American understands that. America is in a position where it has
no choice. It is obliged to be far more aggressive in promoting democracy.
Hence this war. It's based on the new American understanding that if the United
States does not shape the world in its image, the world will shape the United
States in its own image.
·3. Charles Krauthammer
·Is this going to turn into a second Vietnam?
Charles Krauthammer says no. There is no similarity to Vietnam. Unlike in the
1960s, there is no anti-establishment subculture in the United States now.
Unlike in the 1960s, there is now an abiding love of the army in the United
States. Unlike in the 1960s, there is a determined president, one with
character, in the White House. And unlike in the 1960s, Americans are not
deterred from making sacrifices. That is the sea-change that took place here on
September 11, 2001. Since that morning, Americans have understood that if they
don't act now and if weapons of mass destruction reach extremist terrorist
organizations, millions of Americans will die. Therefore, because they
understand that those others want to kill them by the millions, the Americans
prefer to take to the field of battle and fight, rather than sit idly by and
die at home.
·Charles Krauthammer is handsome, swarthy and
articulate. In his spacious office on 19th Street in Northwest Washington, he
sits upright in a black wheelchair. Although his writing tends to be gloomy,
his mood now is elevated. The well-known columnist (Washington Post, Time,
Weekly Standard) has no real doubts about the outcome of the war that he
promoted for 18 months. No, he does not accept the view that he helped lead
America into the new killing fields between the Tigris and the Euphrates. But
it is true that he is part of a conceptual stream that had something to offer
in the aftermath of September 11. Within a few weeks after the attacks on the
Twin Towers and the Pentagon, he had singled out Baghdad in his columns as an
essential target. And now, too, he is convinced that America has the strength
to pull it off. The thought that America will not win has never even crossed
his mind.
·What is the war about? It's about three
different issues. First of all, this is a war for disarming Iraq of its weapons
of mass destruction. That's the basis, the self-evident cause, and it is also
sufficient cause in itself. But beyond that, the war in Iraq is being fought to
replace the demonic deal America cut with the Arab world decades ago. That deal
said: you will send us oil and we will not intervene in your internal affairs.
Send us oil and we will not demand from you what we are demanding of Chile, the
Philippines, Korea and South Africa.
·That deal effectively expired on September 11,
2001, Krauthammer says. Since that day, the Americans have understood that if
they allow the Arab world to proceed in its evil ways - suppression, economic
ruin, sowing despair - it will continue to produce more and more bin Ladens.
America thus reached the conclusion that it has no choice: it has to take on
itself the project of rebuilding the Arab world. Therefore, the Iraq war is
really the beginning of a gigantic historical experiment whose purpose is to do
in the Arab world what was done in Germany and Japan after World War II.
·It's an ambitious experiment, Krauthammer
admits, maybe even utopian, but not unrealistic. After all, it is inconceivable
to accept the racist assumption that the Arabs are different from all other
human beings, that the Arabs are incapable of conducting a democratic way of
life.
·However, according to the Jewish-American
columnist, the present war has a further importance. If Iraq does become
pro-Western and if it becomes the focus of American influence, that will be of
immense geopolitical importance. An American presence in Iraq will project
power across the region. It will suffuse the rebels in Iran with courage and
strength, and it will deter and restrain Syria. It will accelerate the
processes of change that the Middle East must undergo.
·Isn't the idea of preemptive war a dangerous one
that rattles the world order?
·There is no choice, Krauthammer replies. In the
21st century we face a new and singular challenge: the democratization of mass
destruction. There are three possible strategies in the face of that challenge:
appeasement, deterrence and preemption. Because appeasement and deterrence will
not work, preemption is the only strategy left. The United States must
implement an aggressive policy of preemption. Which is exactly what it is now
doing in Iraq. That is what Tommy Franks' soldiers are doing as we speak.
·And what if the experiment fails? What if
America is defeated?
·This war will enhance the place of America in
the world for the coming generation, Krauthammer says. Its outcome will shape
the world for the next 25 years. There are three possibilities. If the United
States wins quickly and without a bloodbath, it will be a colossus that will
dictate the world order. If the victory is slow and contaminated, it will be
impossible to go on to other Arab states after Iraq. It will stop there. But if
America is beaten, the consequences will be catastrophic. Its deterrent
capability will be weakened, its friends will abandon it and it will become
insular. Extreme instability will be engendered in the Middle East.
·You don't really want to think about what will
happen, Krauthammer says looking me straight in the eye. But just because
that's so, I am positive we will not lose. Because the administration
understands the implications. The president understands that everything is
riding on this. So he will throw everything we've got into this. He will do
everything that has to be done. George W. Bush will not let America lose.
·4. Thomas Friedman
·Is this an American Lebanon War? Tom Friedman
says he is afraid it is. He was there, in the Commodore Hotel in Beirut, in the
summer of 1982, and he remembers it well. So he sees the lines of resemblance
clearly. General Ahmed Chalabi (the Shi'ite leader that the neoconservatives
want to install as the leader of a free Iraq) in the role of Bashir Jemayel.
The Iraqi opposition in the role of the Phalange. Richard Perle and the
conservative circle around him as Ariel Sharon. And a war that is at bottom a
war of choice. A war that wants to utilize massive force in order to establish
a new order.
·Tom Friedman, The New York Times columnist, did
not oppose the war. On the contrary. He too was severely shaken by September
11, he too wants to understand where these desperate fanatics are coming from
who hate America more than they love their own lives. And he too reached the
conclusion that the status quo in the Middle East is no longer acceptable. The
status quo is terminal. And therefore it is urgent to foment a reform in the
Arab world.
·Some things are true even if George Bush believes
them, Friedman says with a smile. And after September 11, it's impossible to
tell Bush to drop it, ignore it. There was a certain basic justice in the
overall American feeling that told the Arab world: we left you alone for a long
time, you played with matches and in the end we were burned. So we're not going
to leave you alone any longer.
·He is sitting in a large rectangular room in the
offices of The New York Times in northwest Washington, on the corner of 17th
Street. One wall of the room is a huge map of the world. Hunched over his
computer, he reads me witty lines from the article that will be going to press
in two hours. He polishes, sharpens, plays word games. He ponders what's right
to say now, what should be left for a later date. Turning to me, he says that
democracies look soft until they're threatened. When threatened, they become
very hard. Actually, the Iraq war is a kind of Jenin on a huge scale. Because
in Jenin, too, what happened was that the Israelis told the Palestinians, We
left you here alone and you played with matches until suddenly you blew up a
Passover seder in Netanya. And therefore we are not going to leave you along
any longer. We will go from house to house in the Casbah. And from America's
point of view, Saddam's Iraq is Jenin. This war is a defensive shield. It
follows that the danger is the same: that like Israel, America will make the
mistake of using only force.
·This is not an illegitimate war, Friedman says.
But it is a very presumptuous war. You need a great deal of presumption to
believe that you can rebuild a country half a world from home. But if such a
presumptuous war is to have a chance, it needs international support. That
international legitimacy is essential so you will have enough time and space to
execute your presumptuous project. But George Bush didn't have the patience to
glean international support. He gambled that the war would justify itself, that
we would go in fast and conquer fast and that the Iraqis would greet us with
rice and the war would thus be self-justifying. That did not happen. Maybe it
will happen next week, but in the meantime it did not happen.
·When I think about what is going to happen, I
break into a sweat, Friedman says. I see us being forced to impose a siege on
Baghdad. And I know what kind of insanity a siege on Baghdad can unleash. The
thought of house-to-house combat in Baghdad without international legitimacy
makes me lose my appetite. I see American embassies burning. I see windows of
American businesses shattered. I see how the Iraqi resistance to America
connects to the general Arab resistance to America and the worldwide resistance
to America. The thought of what could happen is eating me up.
·What George Bush did, Friedman says, is to show
us a splendid mahogany table: the new democratic Iraq. But when you turn the
table over, you see that it has only one leg. This war is resting on one leg.
But on the other hand, anyone who thinks he can defeat George Bush had better
think again. Bush will never give in. That's not what he's made of. Believe me,
you don't want to be next to this guy when he thinks he's being backed into a
corner. I don't suggest that anyone who holds his life dear mess with Dick
Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and President Bush.
·Is the Iraq war the great neoconservative war?
It's the war the neoconservatives wanted, Friedman says. It's the war the
neoconservatives marketed. Those people had an idea to sell when September 11
came, and they sold it. Oh boy, did they sell it. So this is not a war that the
masses demanded. This is a war of an elite. Friedman laughs: I could give you
the names of 25 people (all of whom are at this moment within a five-block
radius of this office) who, if you had exiled them to a desert island a year
and a half ago, the Iraq war would not have happened.
·Still, it's not all that simple, Friedman
retracts. It's not some fantasy the neoconservatives invented. It's not that 25
people hijacked America. You don't take such a great nation into such a great
adventure with Bill Kristol and the Weekly Standard and another five or six
influential columnists. In the final analysis, what fomented the war is
America's over-reaction to September 11. The genuine sense of anxiety that spread
in America after September 11. It is not only the neoconservatives who led us
to the outskirts of Baghdad. What led us to the outskirts of Baghdad is a very
American combination of anxiety and hubris.
