| An open letter from Salim Hoss to George W. Bush Mr. President: If this is what your glorification of freedom, democracy, and human rights implies; if the murder of human beings the terrorizing of children, the demolition of houses, precipitating bloodshed among the innocent, setting ablaze all means of livelihood, constitute your human values; if crushing a whole population, uprooting it from its terrain, dispersing it all over, are your supreme values; if those were your objectives in supplying Israel with weaponry and lavishly bestowing your money on it, thus conferring your political and moral support on its atrocities, hollow would be any values principles and objectives. Down with the freedom you purportedly extol, down with the democracy you ostensibly espouse, down with the human rights you proclaim, should a recurrence of human calamity in Palestine be their outgrowth. America is Israel s partner in massacring the innocent, the intimidation of children, the dissipation of earning assets and the disbanding of families. By what right does Israel extort Arab territories? By what right does an Israeli settle in a Palestinian s home? By what right may an Israeli determine other people s lives on a land not his own? By what logic does the American president stand by as spectator, at times as instigator, as catastrophes unveil by force of American money and weapons and under the American political umbrella? By what logic does the American president keep silent vis-a-vis atrocious crimes perpetrated under the banner of a policy dwarfing the oppression of tyrants, the indulgence of aggressors, and the crushing force of arrogance? You have opted, Mr. President, to be an ally of the slaughterer of the epoch, Sharon. So do not blame us if we cast his onus on you. In fact you have made yourself, whether purposely or inadvertently, an accomplice in his crimes. If America has ceased in our view to be as you claim that luminous torch of freedom democracy and human rights, you are in fact responsible for the stark transformation in our outlook. Israel is in reality exercising its belligerence by force of America s capabilities, renown and assets, all being in its name. Those deplorable suicidal operations which you brand as terrorism have they not ever for a moment prompted you to ask yourself the question: Why would a young boy or girl be willing to sacrifice himself or herself with utter peace of mind and full determination? A population that harbors such a regrettable phenomenon and such an option is indeed determined not to surrender or kneel. The whole Arab nation stands wholeheartedly behind the Palestinian people in their strife for their basic rights. How do you label the phenomenon of a whole people standing ready to sacrifice half its numbers in struggle and martyrdom so that the other half will regain human dignity on its own land? We beseech God to inspire in you a moment of conscience and freedom away from the yoke of Zionist hegemony so that you may do justice to a people that does not aspire to anything further than freedom and dignity. Why would you insist on denying others certain basic rights which you are enjoying aplenty? Salim Hoss is a former Prime Minister of Lebanon and MP We need one Million people to e-mail This letter to Mr. Bush. Please help.president@whitehouse.gov Thank you, |

| [slm] What is this letter writing nonsense? Why do muslims continue to humiliate themselves by going crawling on thier hands and knees to the very same leaders who are killing the muslims, begging them for mercy? What is it with us, Are we stupid? are we just plain stupid and a bunch of fools? These leaders such as bush have caused the deaths of so many muslims, and STILL the muslims write letters to him asking him to stop what he is doing. Does it work? Has it ever worked? No, so why do we continue to take this cowardly approach of writing letters? Do the Israeli's write letters to the palestinians? Do the Americans write letters to the Afghans? Do the French write letters to the algerians? No, they send in thier military to do the talking, and what do we do in response? Write letters >:( If we invaded thier lands, they would bomb us, so how come when they invade our lands, we write letters? Get of your high horses and wake up. letters are not the answer. Jihad is. Military Jihad, against those who are attacking us. THAT is the solution. |

| [slm] I can't think of any way to make Muslims get up and fight their dictators and unite and go off to jihad in any short length of time. What more do we need? Why aren't they going off to jihad already? Why is it that all we can do is be emotional about how we have to go do jihad, but we don't have that little extra whatever it is to go and actually do it? This just doesn't seem to be the generation of Musims that are going to fight the jews till they hide behind rocks. In a world where Muslims cannot or will not go defend themselves, maybe the best we can do is to send a letter that maybe will be read and maybe will make someone think, the letter's not begging someone to stop, but to stop and think. If 1 million people send it, maybe it'll make someone stop and notice. The point here is not the actual letter, but showing strength in numbers. |
