Bush has Gotten Us into Serious Stuff / Overseas Newspapers/WWIII

[KoKo]

Following up on DU'er "Overseas Visitor's" post and a link provided by "Big Tree" on the thread I found two articles that would seem to verify "OV's" "hair on fire" warning about the Arab Union and OIC's standing together at the United Nations against the Proposal by Bush and France.

You need to read this...It's not what our American Media is telling us and it is disturbing: Here's link to the OP by Overseas visitor for background

Muslim countries must be armed to match Israel's war machine

The Prime Minister of Lebanon has rightly termed the acts of Israel as state terrorism. The problem with the Bush administration is that it supports Israel's state terrorism against Muslims but the Muslims are condemned as terrorists when they fight state terrorism of Israel to protect their territories and lives.

All sensible people agree that foreign occupations spawn militants to resist such occupations. In modern days there is no imperialism so blatant than Israeli imperialism. Even the USA is thinking how soon to leave Iraq and Afghanistan. But Israel backed by US might and money has made it a normal business to occupy and keep the territories of neighbouring Muslim countries.

The Muslim countries of the Middle East must wake up to the reality of Israeli imperialism and prepare themselves militarily. No resistance group, however powerful and well-organised, can face a state bent on taking advantage of lack of military preparedness and occupying another country's territory to show off its superior military power.

The Muslim countries must arm themselves for their own survival as long as the US goes on arming Israel against them.

OIC should consider arms for Hezbollah: Malaysian minister

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said on Tuesday that the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) nations should consider supplying arms to Hezbollah amid anger and frustration over Israel’s offensive in Lebanon. Malaysia currently chairs the 57-nation OIC, and Syed Hamid said Israel could not be allowed to act with impunity, although it seemingly had “carte blanche” in its operations. “Some are suggesting that we supply arms. Okay, we should look at all these things,” Syed Hamid was quoted as saying by the state Bernama news agency. “The governments (of OIC) countries should look and we must not allow Israel to do what it wants,” he said, but added that Muslim countries had to act according to international norms and principles. Malaysia last week hosted a meeting of the OIC, which demanded an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East and warned that boiling anger over the Israeli offensive could launch a new wave of terrorism. Syed Hamid also criticised a United Nations draft resolution on ending the conflict, which has been rejected by Lebanon because it does not call for the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from its territory. “I think we must not look at Israel only. We must also look at what Lebanon wants. I think it is unfair, imbalanced and unjust to just look at what Israel wants,” he said. “The world should not be dictated just purely by Israeli desire but it must be incorporating justice and fairness in the international system,” he said. afp
