Justice, Soon and Swift

We have another Paradox for you
The Bush government doesn’t want the arms embargo against China to be lifted. It was put in place against China for human rights violations during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Bush is, of course, completely innocent of human rights violations like torture/murder in Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and melting humans with chemical weapons in Fallujah, murdering children etc. Yes, Bush is totally innocent of being altruistic. Personally I think he is not at all dangerous to the public. Constitutionally and fundamentally, I do not trust grunting wild boar.

Rumsfeld answering questions or actually pretending to answer troops questions in Kuwait. In a perfect world there is no Donald Rumsfeld.
There should be an equal time rule for politicians and people. You hear from the government politicians all the time, but you never hear from the other side.

This may or may not make any difference, but it is an excellent move. REPUBLICAN Senator John McCain has reproved the Pentagon for failing to stabilize Iraq, and has refused to endorse the reappointment of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Well, it’s a start. Nothing is wasted in the Universe.

The people in control in the Pentagon and the White House live in a 21st century fantasy world. Did They actually think everyone would just line up and vote for a new world order? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the people behind him -- Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Undersecretary Douglas Feith. The vice president should be included; certainly his wife. These so-called Fascists have no genuine experience in life. They are quixotic thinkers, idealists, some what smart, and they are persistently stubborn, but they do not know compassion. So it makes them double-faced and extremely dangerous.

The parallels between Iraq and Vietnam are not exaggerated.

MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday he could not imagine how Iraqi elections scheduled for Jan. 30 could be held under current conditions.

Associated Press
"Honestly speaking, I cannot imagine how it is possible to organize elections under the conditions of occupation by foreign forces," Putin said in televised comments during a Kremlin meeting with interim Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi
Many Russian officials and analysts regard U.S. and European criticism not as support for democracy but as an effort to extend Western influence in Ukraine.

Putin also said he expected the interests of Russian companies to be considered in Iraqi reconstruction, given that Russia was willing to join in writing off 80 percent of Iraq's debts to the Paris Club of creditor nations.

Russia, he said, had written off more than other countries, some 90 percent of what was owed "out of feelings of solidarity for our friends the Iraqi people."

Allawi thanked Putin and said "doubtless, this will help Russia play a leading role in the reconstruction of Iraq's industry and economy."

Could be Putin is still disgruntled over the big Western nose in the Ukraine election.

Mr. Paredes of the New York City borough of the Bronx said he joined the Navy in 2000 and has 20 months left on his six-year enlistment. He said he was stationed previously in Japan. He said he was young and naive when he joined the Navy and "never imagined, in a million years, we would go to war with somebody who had done nothing to us."
Paredes was at the ship's pier at Navy Base San Diego Monday as Expeditionary Strike Group Five left for its tour in the Pacific and Indian oceans.
“I don't want to be a part of a ship that's taking 3,000 Marines over there, knowing a hundred or more of them won't come back," he said. "I can't sleep at night knowing that's what I do for a living."
He said he hopes his protest might inspire other sailors, soldiers and Marines to refuse to take part in the war. "I know other people are feeling the same way I am, and I'm hoping more people will stand up," he said. "They can't throw us all in jail."

Military officials did not immediately comment on his actions. He could face a court-martial, a dishonorable discharge and possible time in a military jail.


TORONTO (AP) An Army private seeking refugee status in Canada after refusing to serve in Iraq told immigration officials on Monday that the war is illegal and would have forced him to commit war crimes.
Pfc. Jeremy Hinzman, 26, fled from Fort Bragg, N.C., on Jan. 2 and lives in Toronto with his 31-year-old wife, Nga Nguyen, and 2-year-old son, Liam.
Hinzman told the Immigration and Refugee Board the war in Iraq was illegal and fighting in it would have made him a war criminal. He also said he would be persecuted if forced to return to the United States.

Hinzman said he enlisted for four years in 2000 to experience the army. ``I figured I needed some focus and direction,'' Hinzman said at the start of a three-day hearing


A member of the 82nd Airborne Division, Hinzman could face charges as a deserter if sent home and face up to five years in prison. He left his unit about two weeks after learning his outfit would be sent to Iraq.
Hinzman had served three years in the Army and applied for conscientious objector status before his unit was sent to Afghanistan in 2002, but the Army told him it lost his application. He said he wanted to fulfill his service obligation but not to participate in combat.
Hinzman is among several young American soldiers seeking refugee status in Canada. They are hoping to capitalize on the country's opposition to President Bush's foreign policy.
Hinzman is a moral observer he can`t be charged with fantasia charges as long as the Bush criminals in the white House are not under investigation, in Jail and are free to continue the murdering rampage of humanity at random.
It must be clear to every body who is not afflicted by blindness that the perpetrators are weavers of the world tragedy and drive humanity deeper and deeper into despair. When Bush first started no one had any idea how truly depraved he in particular is. So are his PNAC administration, they are matching serpents

Illegally held humans, prisoner torture, abuse and murder are on going in US prisons. Even innocent, so called detainees, prisoners who have no information to offer, are sometimes tortured more severely because the interrogators are ignorant.
Burns, bruises and kidney failure because they were kicked in soft tissue areas, are apparent.

Avian flu and SARS since 1997 approximately 300 people died, not much comparatively; government hype. If humans kept the birds properly in the first place the whole thing could be avoided and the drug companies don’t really need to make more money for vaccines.

May the project for the 21st century meet their justice, soon and swift.
