INDIA and a US Nuclear Deal USA TOMORROW 2006 March 2nd

In a nutshell, the US will sell India nuclear technology and equipment in order for India to develop its ability to provide energy for its civil needs.

If the US is willing to provide nuclear technology for civilian purposes to India, why is the US is not only refraining from making the same kind of deal with Iran, but using all of its power short of a war to prevent Iran from developing its own nuclear power?

During the era of Soviet Power India was aligned with the USSR and received lots of nuclear technology from them. India was considered the bad boy of Nuclear power, an International outlaw that was one of the few nations who refused to sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.

In addition to their nuclear deal, the US and India will open their markets to each other wider and broaden trade agreements. I can tell you right away that countries like India are very good at flooding the US market while using their customs regulations to slow the imports of US goods down to a crawl. With this part of the agreement, President Bush will create an additional tool to increase the already gigantic American trade deficit.

Helping India to develop its civilian nuclear program under UN inspection is a good thing. India with its huge population and fast developing industries has immediate and ever expanding energy requirements.

The deal calls for the Indian nuclear military program to be insolated from the civilian program. This is however a joke and American technology will permeate Indian military technology programs.

What is left unsaid regarding the future of the region is that, thanks to American technology, the Indian nuclear military program will increase in strength so greatly that it will be able to threaten and deter CHINA.
As we have described in many articles, China is the real threat in the future.

The only plus of this nuclear deal is to put a Check on China’s growing and threatening nuclear power, and even though unsaid, this is a big accomplishment.
India has all the makings of a great ally:
Not a Muslim nation
Not a communist nation
Could check China
Could check Pakistan if Pakistan becomes an Islamic nation which is a quasi certainty.

The only unsaid part of the treaty is what makes this treaty valuable for the USA.

President Bush needed to improve his ratings so much that his advisors literally flew him into India and then the White House trumpeted the nuclear deal which flew in the face of Iran and other Muslims countries.
It is a case of applying two different sets of standards to two nations based on the same program: Nuclear Non Proliferation.
If the President had been an intelligent and thoughtful man he would not have gone to India to trumpet an unethical reinforcement of India's nuclear power.
If the White house advisers had been diplomatically smart they would have waited longer and announced the agreement in a more humble tone.

It is so easy now for Muslims countries to say:
The US is a true enemy of the Muslim people. The US provides nuclear technology to non Muslim countries and at the same time prevents Muslim countries from acquiring nuclear technology from any source.

However, even though the White House, with their ill timed handling of a nuclear deal with India, created even more enemies in the Muslim world and more propaganda opportunities for the Muslim Power; the deal itself is a very good thing for the US. It will help the US in its struggle with China over the next 10, 20 or 30 years.

Bush and Rice: Vacuum and Vertigo USA TOMORROW 2006 February 27 th

Dear Friends

I now have Vertigo attacks .
It is the constant spin as well as the incredible vacuum of the mental and intellectual capabilities of the President and his staff that gives me my vertigo attacks.
The last one was induced by Condoleezza Rice

For example:

What is the secretary of foreign affairs Mrs. Condoleezza Rice doing these days?
For the last two weeks when so many foreign crisis were happening we did not heard her on:
Iran nuclear problem,
Hamas Palestinian election.
Muslim protest against Cartoons.
Muslim mosque bombing .

On these subject she got absolutely no positive progress in any way shape or form.

The only time she was given attention is when she issued a completely unwarranted empty threat to Venezuela.
Her declarations stirred prompt reactions from Venezuela and also retaliation.

I had just explained in last week Newsletter " How Communist oil helped the USA paint itself in a corner" what NOT to do with these small mildly Communist non threatening countries:Venezuela Cuba and Bolivia - not Columbia-.:
Fundamentalist Muslims are the big danger NOT small toothless Communist countries.
You befriends these countries in your hemispheres on which oil you depend on.

Here are her last statements:
Mrs. Rice said: Venezuela's close relationship with Cuba is "particularly dangerous". .
She said Mr. Chavez was trying to influence others away from democracy, and called for a united front against him.
She said Mr. Chavez is leading a "Latin brand of populism that has taken countries down the drain".
She said: "The international community has just got to be much more active in supporting and defending the Venezuelan people,"

Of course Mr. Chavez the President of Venezuela responded in kind.

" The government of the United States should know that if they go over the line, they are not going to have Venezuelan oil," Chavez said"
President Chavez call President Bush Mr. Danger.
"You create your front Mr. Danger, we will create ours," Chavez said. "We are going to defeat the empire."

Of course Venezuela retaliated against the USA by restraining severely the number of US airlines companies to land planes in Venezuela.
That is a very serious warning before cutting of oil.

The bottom line is how Condoleezza Rice the secretary of State of the USA can insult
the President of Venezuela and moreover make empty threats towards a country on which oil the USA depends.
What is she going to do if after she pissed off Venezuela so much that Venezuela will cut off oil supply to the USA:
Invade Venezuela?.
If there was any doubt that she was as stupid as the rest of the team then there is no doubt anymore.

It is mind boggling of stupidity and this level of absurdity and incompetence gives me a severe case of vertigo.
We have to invent a new vocabulary for the Bush administration and these new words are " NEGATIVE PROGRESS" which means a big progression in destroying the USA.

Dear friends
Below is a quote that define best our quest for predicting USA's future
using critical analysing of past and present History:
Indeed our motto is a quotation by Winston Churchill:
“The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.”

Editorial of the day

Beauty Parlors and Mosques USA TOMORROW 2006 February 24 th

Amid all the violence and death in Iraq, around 150 People were killed this week alone, there were several smaller but violent incidents that did not draw worldwide attention. Eight beauty parlors were bombed and these bombings are very significant.

These incidents are unequivocal signals that Iraqi society will turn into a fierce Muslim country. When that happens, women will be treated as poorly as they were in Afghanistan before the US and the UN defeated the Taliban. The concerted bombing of eight beauty parlors sent very strong signals to Iraqi women. The signal is: No matter what the US says, No matter what the new Iraqi constitution says, you will return to your former roles as subservient slave

This is also the first time that we can say without any doubt that President Bush’s military rule in Iraq has set up a society where Iraqi women are worse off than when they were ruled by Saddam Hussein’s bloody dictatorship. President Bush has achieved the unthinkable by turning Saddam Hussein into a hero in the eyes of 50% of the population of Iraq. It is unbelievable, but Saddam Hussein will be considered to have been the savior of women.

I am always surprised to see that women in the USA vote for Conservative Republicans, but if they have one ounce of decency they should organize a rally in Washington. They should march wearing Muslim veils, chadors and long robes to show their support for the millions of Muslim women recently turned into slaves again by President Bush’s policies.

At the same time the beauty parlors were being bombed other incidents occurred in Iraq that did draw worldwide attention. Mosques were blown up and set on fire and Muslim Clerics were assassinated. In Iraq the Muslim religion has two slightly different congregations: the Shiites and the Sunnis.
Their differences are very, very small. However, past centuries have shown us that anything involving religion and power is deadly. President Bush’s invasion of Iraq has created a religious war like those that plagued Europe centuries ago.
You can always count on the mixing of religion and government to achieve narrow-mindedness, inflexibility and bloody outcomes.

It is of course interesting to see that President Bush is trying to impose this same deadly mixture of Church and State in the USA.
His choice of a new Justice for the Supreme Court is one more step toward pushing the USA into religious fundamentalism.

Is it time to say that Iraq will fall into a civil war based on religious differences?
This is not a prediction or an educated guess anymore it is a fact.
It will be a civil war by terrorists actions.

Here is the future of Iraq:
A civil war based on religious differences is guaranteed to happen as well as the enslavement of women by Muslim clerics.

Is there anything the US can do?
NO if the politic is not completely changed.
Why?

President Bush has been a tremendous help in creating the Muslim power. It is now a Monster that has far more power than the US and its allies in the region. Starting with the invasion of Iraq, and continuing to the present, unimaginably stupid blunders have been consistently accomplished by the current administration.

The situation is irreversible for the next 10 years or more.
The only sane thing the US should do in order to protect itself is to get the Hell out of Iraq, beginning the pullout in 2006 and completing it before the end of 2007.
Thanks to President Bush ‘s intervention and continued blundering; the Iraqi people are doomed, and they are going to, believe it or not, be in a position far worse than when Saddam Hussein was in power.

How could the USA help Iraq in the form of a farewell gift?
Reverse completely the official White house policy which is based on President Bush interest and not on Iraq interest.
President Bush interest is to leave a whole Iraq. A WHOLE Iraq better of than when Saddam was ruling. The key word is WHOLE.
In fact the only viable solution to the Iraqi problem is a partition of Iraq into 3 entities loosely connected by a masquerade of a central government.
In effect it will be the dismemberment of Iraq which President Bush cannot accept but which is nonetheless the only solution.

A Shiite region in the South
A Sunni region in the center
A Kurd region in the North.

Of course the Shiites will allied themselves to Iran causing a bigger threat than ever
The Kurds will be very Happy because totally independent.
The Sunni will suffer a lot whith Shiite thinking that it is is a just retribution to be the oppressed after being the oppressors.

It is actually the only solution and why not do it now instead of refusing the reality and having additional thousands of Iraqi and American Casualties.
However you can bet the farm that If it is the right thing to do to avoid casualties President Bush will not do it.

The President Circus and Bribes USA TOMORROW 2006 february 23 rd

Dear Friends

You may believe that you have seen it all with the US government but you would be wrong.

For the US government under President Bush's leadership deceptions, lies, cover-ups and deadly blunders continue to be business as usual. As an example, yesterday he added a new weapon to his arsenal of arms aimed at destroying the USA, circus money to be used to create the illusion that Americans should believe him. Dictators all over the world have traditionally used this kind of Circus money. It is a trademark of profoundly dishonest leaders. In the Soviet Union under totalitarianism Circus money was necessary and appeared through bureaucratic magic.

When groups of dignitaries toured state owned factory that had never had important visitors money was discovered and allocated to repaint and clean the facilities and workers were given new uniforms. Window dressing was the word. In under-developed kingdoms when the king or dictator was to visit a hospital or a school the path to the school and the entire school were refurbished and redecorated. Walls were built to hide the slums. Great care was taken to hide the carelessness of the administration and the poverty of the area.

This kind of window dressing in the USA with all of its tricks would have sent private company managers to jail and are the hallmark of dictators and deceivers. Yesterday, President Bush joined the select club of dictators who mask their lies with last minute window dressing First, three weeks ago, he cut the funds of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado.Then last weekend before his planned visit February 21st he literally wired back $5 million in funding. When he cut the funds 30 researchers and workers were fired.With the last minute restoring of the money All the researchers and workers were re-hired.
In plain language we call that a bribe We are talking re-hiring one day before President Bush was to come. Of course now that employees are been re-hired which puts the bribe money in thoer pocket there will not be the risk of laid off employees picketing the research lab with banners saying:
"President Bush is a liar" or employees talking to the press in front of the lab during his visit.
Again, President Bush's Window dressing is swift and effective; it is at the level of great dictators Window dressing. In the private sector a business leader engaged in such deception would be ousted by the shareholders and then prosecuted and condemned to jail sentence.
In essence this practice is a bribe that creates a false impression of good management and silences employees in order to enhance President Bush's image. You might think that the President of the USA had already lied enough to American citizens and to the entire world but you would be wrong again. President BUSH IS NOW BORROWING PAGES FROM Stalin and Mobutu two very efficient dictators on two different continents in order to further deceive the American people and the rest of the world.

American ports or Arab ports USA TOMORROW 2006 February 22 nd

Dear Friends

I am Challenging you. Please ask those around you the following question, and focus mostly on older people:"During your lifetime has any President of the USA prior to President Bush made as many dangerous Blunders and lied so often to American citizens? I do not believe that the answer to your questions will be yes, or that any President in modern history has made such constant blunders or lied so much. Each day, the situation is so bad that I do not even have the time to pursue each blunder at length, and instead I have to drop the subject I began in the morning to write about yet another of President Bush's gigantic blunders. The last one is a double Blunder:It is almost comforting to see that in America where the belief is that the sky is the limit to your success; the President supports this belief by implementing it himself.

President Bush is reaching the highest levels of Blundering and has invented the Double Blunder.
Not only does he accept the take over of American ports by a foreign owned company that hosted and financed terrorism but to double the blunder he announced on TV that he will veto any bill that prevents him from handing to the UAE the security of 8 American ports over on a silver platter, two of which are involved in military activities. I want to be clear; I do not accuse the highest level of the UAE government to be terrorists or friends of the terrorists. However inside their country they are not able to control the travel and financing of terrorism.
A couple of the 9/11 terrorists were from the UAE or traveled through the UAE, and financing came in part from the UAE or United Arab Emirates.There is not a chance in hell that they will do a better job with these US seaports. With the President already doing such a bad job of protecting Americans abroad and with so many flaws in Homeland security why would President Bush, short of being insane, give terrorists disguised as sailors and administrators the opportunity to explore these ports and their plans in detail and note the whereabouts of coast guard and security forces. Anyone with an ounce of a brain understood the answer to this question long ago. The President is an intellectually challenged man. He does not understand anything beyond a base ball game. In their greed for power the Republicans never had in mind the welfare of the USA, on the contrary the Republican elite have imposed a President who had only one electalability quality name recognition but no brain or judgement.

That is a very easy problem to solve. We will keep you posted.

The Presidency and its aura. USA TOMORROW 2006 February 21 st

Dear Friends

President day bis

Two President of the USA have achieved the stature of Demi-gods: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln: These two men were and are head and shoulders above 99% of all leaders around the world now and then.
They behaved on such a high level of ethics and intelligence that they are seculars Saints. History has anointed them Greatest among the Great. They were not only admired in the USA but all around the world. However turning them into legend has created a great inconvenience, the Presidency has been elevated to the level of worshipping only an institution like the Catholic Papacy had achieved only recently.
The Presidency by itself has such an aura of integrity and intelligence that this aura is an invisible shield that protects any president against constructive criticism as well as gives a seal of approval on anything he does. In addition the Check and balances are not working anymore at all In addition it is obvious that a Royal like Dynasty can be achieved by giving the Presidency to father and son.
In the future another Dynasty could be established by electing in succession Husband and wife. Name recognition should not be the main criterion in electing people. Due to all these factors on a superficial level in the eyes of many Americans the President Cannot do wrong.
Only when the American people are confronted with a non ending succession of blunders will they react and how so slowly.
We have a President that does everything wrong seconded by a Vice President that does everything wrong, helped by a Secretary of State that does everything wrong.
If you add to this dire observation the fact that these three people are lying to the American people on a regular basis we the people should be able to change the government.
Short of the Atomic option which is the Impeachment process we cannot remove legally the President. We are in a typical dictatorship As soon as the sad episode of the actual presidency will be over we need to adopt 2 new amendments:

Number one: the prevention of the establishment of family dynasty.
Number two a recall system that allow the PEOPLE not the legislature to recall the president by popular vote.
A country should have a strong leader, the captain of the ship USA must have the power to guide the ship but if the captain goes insane then the people should vote to dismiss him. A recall by referendum with a necessary majority of 66.5% of the vote to remove the president is necessary, the job should be given to the highest ranking senator not of the President party.
By choosing a very high threshold ( more than 2/3) for voters disenchantment we leave the President with the same power that he has today and prevent frivolous attempt at recall thus living the President serene in his conduct of the country.

In the meantime let us hope that soon in the future Honesty and intelligence will be restored to the Presidency. Best regardsEric Lafayette

All Presidents are not equals: USA TOMORROW 2006 February 20 th

Dear Friends

President day
All President are not equals

Here is President Bush on its 100 first mistakes and deceptions
More will be coming.
This compilation is from an interesting website:

http://www.americanprogress.org/

100 Mistakes for the President to Choose From
May 3, 2004
During a prime time press conference on April 13, President Bush was asked to name a mistake that he has made since taking office and what he has learned from it. Bush, who was unable to answer the question, admitted "maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with [a mistake]." But weeks later, Bush still hasn't answered the question. In the interest of assisting the President with this surprisingly difficult task we've compiled this list of 100 mistakes he has made since taking office:
Iraq
1. Failing to build a real international coalition prior to the Iraq invasion, forcing the US to shoulder the full cost and consequences of the war.
2. Approving the demobilization of the Iraqi Army in May, 2003 – bypassing the Joint Chiefs of Staff and reversing an earlier position, the President left hundreds of thousands of armed Iraqis disgruntled and unemployed, contributing significantly to the massive security problems American troops have faced during occupation.
3. Not equipping troops in Iraq with adequate body armor or armored HUMVEES.
4. Ignoring the advice Gen. Eric Shinseki regarding the need for more troops in Iraq – now Bush is belatedly adding troops, having allowed the security situation to deteriorate in exactly the way Shinseki said it would if there were not enough troops.
5. Ignoring plans drawn up by the Army War College and other war-planning agencies, which predicted most of the worst security and infrastructure problems America faced in the early days of the Iraq occupation.
6. Making a case for war which ignored intelligence that there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.
7. Deriding "nation-building" during the 2000 debates, then engaging American troops in one of the most explicit instances of nation building in American history.
8. Predicting along with others in his administration that US troops would be greeted as liberators in Iraq.
9. Predicting Iraq would pay for its own reconstruction.
10. Wildly underestimating the cost of the war.
11. Trusting Ahmed Chalabi, who has dismissed faulty intelligence he provided the President as necessary for getting the Americans to topple Saddam.
12. Disbanding the Sunni Baathist managers responsible for Iraq's water, electricity, sewer system and all the other critical parts of that country's infrastructure.
13. Failing to give UN weapons inspectors enough time to certify if weapons existed in Iraq.
14. Including discredited intelligence concerning Nigerian Yellow Cake in his 2003 State of the Union.
15. Announcing that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended" aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003, below a "Mission Accomplished" banner – more U.S. soldiers have died in combat since Bush's announcement than before it.
16. Awarding a multi-billion dollar contract to Halliburton in Iraq, which then repeatedly overcharged the government and served troops dirty food.
17. Refusing to cede any control of Post-invasion Iraq to the international community, meaning reconstruction has received limited aid from European allies or the U.N.
18. Failing to convince NATO allies why invading Iraq was important.
19. Having no real plan for the occupation of Iraq.
20. Limiting bidding on Iraq construction projects to "coalition partners," unnecessarily alienating important allies France, Germany and Russia.
21. Diverting $700 million into Iraq invasion planning without informing Congress.
22. Shutting down an Iraqi newspaper for "inciting violence" – the move, which led in short order to street fighting in Fallujah, incited more violence than the newspaper ever had.
23. Telling Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan about plans to go to war with Iraq before Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Counterterrorism
24. Allowing several members of the Bin Laden family to leave the country just days after 9/11, some of them without being questioned by the FBI.
25. Focusing on missile defense at the expense of counterterrorism prior to 9/11.
26. Thinking al Qaeda could not attack without state sponsors, and ignoring evidence of a growing threat unassociated with "rogue states" like Iraq or North Korea.
27. Threatening to veto the Homeland Security department – The President now concedes such a department "provides the ability for our agencies to coordinate better and to work together better than it was before."
28. Opposing the creation of the September 11th commission, which the President now expects "to contain important recommendations for preventing future attacks."
29. Denying documents to the 9/11 commission, only relenting after the commissioners threatened a subpoena.
30. Failing to pay more attention to an August 6, 2001 PDB entitled "Bin laden Determined to Attack in U.S."
31. Repeatedly ignoring warnings of terrorists planning to use aircraft before 9/11.
32. Appointing the ultra-secretive Henry Kissinger to head the 9/11 commission – Kissinger stepped down weeks later due to conflicts of interest.
33. Asking for testimony before the 9/11 commission be limited to one hour, a position from which the president later backtracked.
34. Not allowing national Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice to testify before the 9/11 commission – Bush changed his mind as pressure mounted.
35. Cutting an FBI request for counterterrorism funds by two-thirds after 9/11.
36. Telling Americans there was a link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.
37. Failing to adequately secure the nation's nuclear weapons labs.
38. Not feeling a sense of urgency about terrorism or al Qaeda before 9/11.
Afghanistan
39. Reducing resources and troop levels in Afghanistan and out before it was fully secure.
40. Not providing security in Afghanistan outside of Kabul, leaving nearly 80% of the Afghan population unprotected in areas controlled by Feudal warlords and local militias.
41. Committing inadequate resources for the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
42. Counting too heavily on locally trained troops to fill the void in Afghanistan once U.S. forces were relocated to Iraq.
43. Not committing US ground troops to the capture of Osama Bin Laden, when he was cornered in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan in November, 2001.
44. Allowing opium production to resume on a massive scale after the ouster of the Taliban.
Weapons of Mass Destruction
45. Opposing an independent inquiry into the intelligence failures surrounding WMD – later, upon signing off on just such a commission, Bush claimed he was "determined to make sure that American intelligence is as accurate as possible for every challenge in the future."
46. Saying: "We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories."
47. Trusting intelligence gathered by Vice President Cheney's and Secretary Rumsfeld's "Office of Special Plans."
48. Spending $6.5 billion on nuclear weapons this year to develop new nuclear weapons this year – 50% more in real dollars than the average during the cold war – while shortchanging the troops on body armor.
Foreign Policy
49. Ignoring the importance of the Middle East peace process, which has deteriorated with little oversight or strategy evident in the region.
50. Siding with China in February, 2004 against a democratic referenda proposed by Taiwan, a notable shift from an earlier pledge to stand with "oppressed peoples until the day of their freedom finally arrives."
51. Undermining the War on Terrorism by preemptively invading Iraq.
52. Failing to develop a specific plan for dealing with North Korea.
53. Abandoning the United States' traditional role as an evenhanded negotiator in the Middle East peace process.
Economic
54. Signing a report endorsing outsourcing with thousands of American workers having their jobs shipped overseas.
55. Instituting steel tariffs deemed illegal by the World Trade Organization – Bush repealed them 20-months later when the European Union pledged to impose retaliatory sanctions on up to $2.2 billion in exports from the United States.
56. Promoting economic policies that failed to create new jobs.
57. Promoting economic policies that failed to help small businesses
58. Pledging a "jobs and growth" package would create 1,836,000 new jobs by the end of 2003 and 5.5 million new jobs by 2004—so far the president has fallen 1,615,000 jobs short of the mark.
59. Running up a foreign deficit of "such record-breaking proportions that it threatens the financial stability of the global economy."
60. Issuing inaccurate budget forecasts accompanying proposals to reduce the deficit, omitting the continued costs of Iraq, Afghanistan and elements of Homeland Security.
61. Claiming his 2003 tax cut would give 23 million small business owners an average tax cut of $2,042 when "nearly four out of every five tax filers (79%) with small business income would receive less" than that amount.
62. Passing tax cuts for the wealthy while falsely claiming "people in the 10 percent bracket" were benefiting most."
63. Passing successive tax cuts largely responsible for turning a projected surplus of $5 trillion into a projected deficit of $4.3 trillion.
64. Moving to strip millions of overtime pay.
65. Not enforcing corporate tax laws.
66. Backing down from a plan to make CEOs more accountable when "the corporate crowd" protested.
67. Not lobbying oil cartels to change their mind about cutting oil production.
68. Passing tax cuts weighted heavily to help the wealthy.
69. Moving to allow greater media consolidation.
70. Nominating a notorious proponent of outsourcing, Anthony F. Raimondo, to be the new manufacturing Czar—Raimondo withdrew his name days later amidst a flurry of harsh criticism.
71. Ignoring calls to extend unemployment benefits with long-term unemployment reaching a twenty-year high
72. Threatening to veto pension legislation that would give companies much needed temporary relief.
Education
73. Under-funding No Child Left Behind
74. Breaking his campaign pledge to increase the size of Pell grants.
75. Signing off on an FY 2005 budget proposing the smallest increase in education funding in nine years.
76. Under-funding the Title I Program, specifically targeted for disadvantaged kids, by $7.2 billion.
77. Freezing Teacher Quality State Grants, cutting off training opportunities for about 30,000 teachers, and leaving 92,000 less
teachers trained than the president called for in his own No Child Left Behind bill.
78. Freezing funding for English language training programs.
79. Freezing funding for after school programs, potentially eliminating 50,000 children from after-school programs.
Health
80. Not leveling with Americans about the cost of Medicare – the president told Congress his new Medicare bill would cost $400 billion over ten years despite conclusions by his own analysts the bill would cost upwards of $500 billion over that period.
81. Silencing Medicare actuary Richard Foster when his estimates for the Administration's Medicare bill were too high.
82. Letting business associate David Halbert, who owns a company which stands to make millions from new discount drug cards, craft key elements of the new Medicare bill.
83. Underfunding health care for troops and veterans.
84. Allowing loopholes to persist in Mad-Cow regulations.
85. Relaxing food labeling restrictions on health claims.
86. Falsely claiming the restrictions on stem cell research would not hamper medical progress.
87. Reducing action against improper drug advertising by 80 percent.
Environment
88. Abandoning the Kyoto Treaty without offering an alternative for reducing greenhouse effect.
89. Counting on a voluntary program to reduce emissions of harmful gasses—so far only a tiny fraction of American companies have signed up.
90. Gutting clean air standards for aging power plants.
91. Weakening energy efficiency standards.
92. Relaxing dumping standards for mountaintop mining, and opening the Florida Everglades and Oregon's Siskiyou National Forest to mining.
93. Lifting protection for more than 200 million acres of public land.
94. Limiting public challenges to logging projects and increased logging in protected areas, including Alaska's Tongass National Forest.
95. Weakening environmental standards for snowmobiles and other off-road vehicles while pushing for exemptions for air pollution proposals for five categories of industrial facilities.
96. Opposing legislation that would require greater fuel efficiency for passenger cars.
97. Reducing inspections, penalties for violations, and prosecution of environmental crimes.
98. Misleading the public about the Washington mad cow case and the likely effectiveness of USDA's weak testing program.
99. Withdrawing public information on chemical plant dangers, previously used to hold facilities accountable for safety improvements.
Other
100. Cutting grants to state and local governments in FY 2005, forcing states to make massive cuts in job training, education, housing and environment.

USA TOMORROW
A US Beachhead for Sanity in the Muslim World February 15, 2006

Dear Friends,

What could the US do to enhance its standing in the world?
During the Clinton era the US was the most appreciated nation in the developing world but now, in the Bush era it is the most hated country in the developing world. During the Clinton era the American people had friends all over Europe, but now, during the Bush Era the American people have enemies in Western Europe and throughout the world. First, legally remove legally President Bush and Vice President Cheney. This is nothing personal but during the last 8 years their policies have been destructive. They are destroying the USA. They are not the best men to implement policy changes that are urgently needed. In addition, President Bush’s unremitting stubbornness continues to dig a hole in which the USA is half buried.

We will now see if there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The best way to understand the problem is to compare it with the Communist era.

After World War II, Communist ideologies spread very successfully worldwide. Communism ruled a great part of the world until 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell, but even before the fall of the Berlin wall most people living under Communism were disenchanted and eager to escape to the West. This necessitated construction of the Berlin Wall.

Today, China calls itself a Communist country while it economically acts as a capitalist country. Nonetheless, China maintains a strong tyrannical, centralized communist inspired government.

We could say that the Communist Golden Era lasted about 30 years. This is a relatively short period, and the reason is that the Communists were at a major disadvantage. They made a major mistake. They promised Heaven on earth. Their philosophy promised a society based on equality, fairness and happiness for all during their lives. It did not work. Instead of Heaven on earth, people felt the catastrophic results of Communism and totalitarian control in their everyday lives. During their 30 years of power communist ideologies did not create Heaven on earth, but they were responsible for the deaths of approximately 50 million people.

The Muslim Power is cleverer, because it offers Paradise in Heaven after death particularly for martyrs. If you want a guaranteed spot in Heaven become a suicide bomber. Thus far, nobody has returned from Heaven to tell worshippers if paradise exists or not, so the promise continues to be a powerful tool. By brainwashing their followers, Preachers can use fundamentalist rhetoric to foster hatred and violent action against non-Muslims. Young kids are indoctrinated in Islamic Madrassa. It is good to remember that all bloody dictatorships and ideologies, Nazism, Fascism, Stalinism, Maoism, used education systems that specialized in the indoctrination of children.

Even the Christian right in the USA is organized to indoctrinate children. Parents take their kids to famous preachers in programs especially designed for youngsters. There the preachers indoctrinate the kids to not believe in Darwin and Evolution but to instead believe in Creationism. These Preachers give them lies to rebuke their teachers by practicing and shouting their responses in unison, a practice common in dictatorships and fundamentalist ideologies.

Why the rejection of Paleontology? As science, Paleontology is not controversial. Dinosaur bones have been found all over America and skeletons of these giants are in many museums. The answer is that he Bible does not mention Dinosaurs at all although they roamed the earth for 160 million years. You cannot help but wonder how you could fit dozen of pairs of these giants into Noah’s Ark without sinking it. Anyone who preaches that Paleontology and scientific evidence are wrong is lying. This is brain washing at its worst.

I believe that many Americans do not know that brain washing young kids is a fixture of American society. The lying and brain washing are done in the name of religion, but brain washing Children is criminal and nauseating and takes advantage of children.

If such nauseating brain washing of children occurs in a country that prides itself in being aware, educated and free, imagine the magnitude of the lies that are inserted in the minds of young children in populations that are less informed and more politically and religiously controlled and directed.

Brain washing is an essential and absolutely necessary tool for Islamic Power as it establishes itself outside its borders.
Muslim power excels at brain washing on a large scale. Very young children attend Maddrassas religious schools whose curriculum is based on the Koran. They learn the Koran and are encouraged to hate infidels. In contrast, other disciplines that could help young Muslims make a living in modern societies are totally neglected. This ultimately creates misfits who are unable to earn a living in a world of globalization and who are easily transformed into zealots bent on destruction.

Once thoroughly brain washed, young people will follow their leaders blindly. This is the exact efficiency of brain washing.

Protests against the cartoons of Mohammed offer the best demonstration of brain washing. Millions of Muslims are protesting against these cartons without ever having seen them. They protest because they blindly follow what their preachers and leaders tell them to do. Yesterday, Muslim protesters in Pakistan torched and destroyed American companies like McDonald’s even though the USA is one of the only countries that refused to publish any of the cartoons.

These fundamentalist religions are not based on reason they are based on faith. The core of their world of faith denies the use of reason in directing one's life. In the case of Christian and Muslim fundamentalism the world of faith is a world of Blind Faith.

Muslim Ideology is far superior to Communist Ideology. Indoctrination of children is more efficient and begins earlier. Indoctrination of adults is extremely focused and effective as shown by the massive, blind participation in protests against the cartoons of Mohammed.

Eighth Prediction:
Muslim power is going to last and grow for at least 30 years and continue to be a factor for an additional 20 years.

Another prediction:
The only solution is to completely withdraw from the Middle East and Africa Let the Europeans take the brunt of the Islamic power for the next 20 years. By physically disappearing from the soil of Muslim nations, the USA will leave no renewed reasons for the Muslims to go after the USA. The USA must withdraw from Iraq within 12 months.
Some terrorist action will occur in the USA no matter what, but the Muslim community in the USA will have no reason for continued support of Muslim power against the Americans.
Bombing Muslim nations from remote locations is a possible strategic necessity that cannot be discarded. Regroup and center your force on what you are good at and not at what you are the worst at.

Ninth prediction:
The USA will disappear as a strong nation if it does not quickly sever all physical ties with the Muslim world. If it does sever all physical ties, then there is hope that the USA can renew good relations with Muslim Nations around the middle of this century.

What should the USA do in the long period of withdrawal and vanishing presence that lies ahead?
Work beach heads in the Muslim World and these are the beach heads:
Algeria is oriented toward the West and has already experienced the folly of Islamic Power. The situation in Algeria has improved but here is what happened in the last decade: Fundamentalist Muslims massacred at least 50,000 people, most of them civilians, women as well as men. The victims were Muslims, but not Fundamentalists. The Fundamentalists especially targeted journalists, itinerant entertainers, writers, radio commentators, in a word; everybody that used what is called Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. Murder and massacres were part of every day Algerian life.
Neighboring Morocco and Tunisia have very closely watched this terrible situation and have taken all measures to combat Muslim power. These western oriented countries, the only Arab countries in Africa that offer almost decent Democratic governments, should be helped as much as possible and be made the shining light of western democratic success in Arabic countries. It is important that this be done without any US physical presence, no money and no trade. Even when and if military aircraft are sold the instructors should be Polish.

After the peak of Islamic power, the extreme excess of Islamic dictatorial power and fundamentalism will begin to take a toll on the Muslim people. If the beach heads have been transformed into successful nations then the attraction of the western way of life that feeds its people better than Islamic power and the reaction against the brutality of Islamic power will act as the carrot and the stick. Muslim nations will want to join modern democratic Nations.
It is fair and important to say that all Muslim nations under Muslim power live in the middle ages.

It is important to understand that President Bush did not create Fundamentalist Muslim power but he created an environment that allowed their power to grow and flourish. He gave them the core indispensable elements without which they would not have been such a terrifying success. These indispensable and necessary ingredients are:

Having an enemy to unite against is the most important factor. There is no bigger enemy that the USA. It is simple logic that you need all your fellow worshippers if you need to fight against a giant.

Using important media such as TV to expose the so called terrible behaviors of the Infidels is also essential. Only a war against Arabs will mobilize and unify the Arab media. Having an enemy that blunders constantly and plays into your hands is an asset. Remember Bush saying on TV of the insurgents after the first campaign was won: 'BRING THEM IN." They came, and that sentenced 2,000 Americans to die. President Bush’s Iraqi War has provided the Muslim Power with all the elements necessary for a gigantic expansion: going from a few million to billions.
Only racism and religion can inspire absolute folly. The combination of Colored Muslim power against White Christian Republican America is the most deadly destructive weapon against civilization.

Tenth prediction:
The hatred between Muslim power and the USA will last between 20 and 30 years. Only the careful nurturing of the beach heads by the US and the excesses of Muslim power will allow the Americans to reestablish good contacts with the Arab people.

You would think I would be done by now, but you would be wrong

China three stages assault USA TOMORROW 2006 Feb 17 th

Dear Friends

All the signs that show that China will be the main threat to not only American leadership but also American prosperity are already visible.

First, a short funny anecdote:
If you travel in many countries in Africa you can stay at very interesting new hotels.
At first sight these hotels look like any other Hilton or Sheraton, very modern with lots of concrete and large windows. Their entry halls are grand, but the funny part begins when you enter your rooms. All the lamps and mural lightings are Chinese, little pagodas, little Chinese dragons, etc. When you enter the dining room you will find the same theme and more Chinese lamps. Try to imagine a Hilton or a Sheraton disguised as a Chinese restaurant and placed in the middle of Africa.

It is funny, but also very significant because the location of these hotels is telling. The Chinese are quietly and discreetly replacing the European and American presence in many African countries. The Chinese are avid buyers of African oil which they need dearly. They then recover the money they spent on African oil by selling African nations all sorts of Chinese products as well as hotels and infrastructures.
Unlike the Europeans and the Americans they do not help very poor African nations through charitable donations.
Following in the footstep of Communist Ideology, Propaganda, Influence and Power are their only motivations.

The Chinese government is ruthless and spends money for direct gain. Their presence in Africa is small but growing very rapidly by exploiting any and all European and American weaknesses. They are embedding themselves in a part of the world that is so geographically and culturally distant from mainland China that nobody expected their presence. China is also one of the few nations that could heavily infiltrate many other nations because of their huge population of more that one Billion Chinese.

Previously we have seen that China has allies:
Iran is allied with China. North Korea is allied with China.

Also, in South America a place that is faraway place and very remote from China the USA has three enemies: Venezuela, Columbia and small but strategic Cuba.
Guess who came to dinner with the presidents of these three Countries? China did of course.
Connecting the dot renders a very clear picture; China allied and involved itself in business partnerships with the USA’s most dangerous enemies in South America.

President Bush has not even begun to understand that China is encircling the USA.

That was the second stage of the Chinese strategy.
The first stage was, and is, using the American market and the greed of Americans businessmen to build a colossal Chinese economy with American money.
American businessmen are making short term profits thanks to China’s labor force, but at the same time their investments are installing competitive, state of the art factories in China and their businesses are paying taxes to the Chinese government that the Chinese government is investing in the Chinese Army. In addition, American companies are transferring modern airplanes and missiles as well as other cutting edge technologies to the Chinese.
The wealth of China today is tiny compared to what it will be within 20 years when serious confrontations will begin.

The third stage will be a big confrontation perhaps ten years from now. This big confrontation will be preceded by a succession of small confrontations.

The rise of power in China along with its antagonism to the USA will make all other American problems, including the threat of Muslim Power, look pale in comparison.

In a brutal chess game with stakes of enormous magnitude, the USA should begin moving some pawns now in order to little by little regain lost ground against China.
Today China is weak and vulnerable, and this is the time to act. Unfortunately, the USA will act when it is too late to amicably diffuse the situation.

President Bush is so intent on saving face in the Iraq War and so limited in his Strategic chess game that he does not have the shadow of an idea or plan for an effective China policy.

How Communist oil helped the USA paint itself in a corner USA TOMORROW 2008 February 16 th

Dear Friends

You would think that President Bush has made so many blunders with the war in Iraq that it would have filled at last the life of twenty president.
You would be wrong.
There is more.

The success of the war in Iraq was going to give the USA an abundance of oil supply and of course because of President Bush Olympic records in the discipline of blundering, the USA will face shortage of oil in the future.
Why ?
Now that we know that Iraqi oil will not be coming soon
and that other Arab countries may not provide us with a lot of oil: The answer is in the Communist countries.:
Instead of befriending the three last non threatening Communist countries on the American continent President Bush was able with his absolute talents at creating as many enemies as he can for the American people to turn these countries into enemies.

I am talking about Cuba, Columbia and Venezuela.
Venezuela is the important one because it supply 1 000 000 barrel of oil per day and Columbia supplies an average of 250 000 barrels per day.
As an example for comparison Saudi Arabia sells the US 1 250 000 barrels of crude oil per day and is the third supplier of the USA

President Bush supported at least verbally an attempt to remove the President of Venezuela.and in the process made an enemy of him
Either you remove your foe or you befriend him.

If there was any ounce of intelligence in President Bush and President Bush advisors they will have first started to gain Castro to the US side, that was very very easy . He could have sent President Jimmy Carter whose reputation of integrity is second only to Mandela. Fidel Castro would have been too Happy to sign a treaty of friendship with the USA. Really that was a no brainer.
It was so easy to sell to Fidel Castro the following idea.
Beginning by: "We the USA are going to help you with all our economic power in the following undertaking of yours.
Mr. Castro you have been the father of your beloved Cuban people but if history is written now you will go into the books as an old vestige of a disappearing ideology. On the contrary if you open your door wide to modernity and Democracy and you will enter History as one of the very few Communist Leaders who succeeded in the transformation into liberal economy from Communism.
You will be a Hero again bigger that you had ever been."
.
Fidel Castro has been literally panting for such an opening for years, he was ready because he had driven himself in a corner and that offer would have been a way out.
But of course President Bush had to play rough against a non existent minuscule enemy. In Cuba's case President Bush policy is a sad joke.
Of Course Fidel recently had a way out of his dead end policy and was only to happy to embrace Venezuela with a Communist President and Columbia too.

Now Cuba , Venezuela and Columbia have created a united front of "the enemies of my enemies are my friends" and are already playing the oil card.
This very winter Venezuela is sending to the US millions of barrel of heating oil at special very low prices and some free to poor Americans, I am not kidding, it is a fact.
But more importantly these new Communist Nations can at the drop of a hat stop selling part or the totality of their oil to the USA and create havoc on the American economy.. The USA is now hostage of small communist nations.

However it is Communist China is the big player.
Communist China has a core belief that the USA is their main enemy and they use every error of the Bush administration and they are plenty to weaken the USA.
First: China has a growing need of energy, a gigantic growing need of energy and that is the most important fact.
Nobody should forget that Japan declared war on the USA because the USA deprived Japan of oil and Gasoline.
Second: Everywhere when there is a country that dislike the USA you will see China come to this country very discretely, start business and work to remove little by little any US influence or economic ties.

China is the main clients of Iran oil.

In addition Bush is protecting so much his fellow oil men that he has repeatedly declined to include improvement in gas economy for cars since he has been in office.

Now you have a better picture:
The US number of oil providers is shrinking every day and some actual suppliers may decide to cut oil supply overnight doubling the price of gasoline and industrial oil and making the USA fall into a very deep recession.

The USA has painted it self in a corner and the hyenas are sitting around laughing and joking: "Please give us a few more years of President Bush".
President Bush is a gift from Heaven to the enemies of the USA.
Him and his administration are so incompetent that they are applying the same policy that Bush Senior applied 12 years ago in a world that Islamic power and
anti Americanism Globalization have drastically changed.
NONE of their policy is working because they are so much behind the curve.

Here is what should be done
What is necessary and rich in possibilities after the legal removal of President Bush is to declare a war on US Energy weaknesses

With strong government Intervention (a non possibility for President Bush and his advisers) create a state of economic war against our own deficiency.
President Roosevelt with very strong Government intervention turned the USA into the arsenal of all allies country in World war II.in an incredible short time: two to five years:
Big boats were built in a few days; one day an empty field 12 months after a factory producing planes
The same effort is necessary into turning with Government subsidies and a big stick department of General motor and Ford into producing cars powered by electricity only, car that will get charged at home with solar batteries or wind power. ( this is not an extensive evaluation on alternative power but the techniques exists to build every car in America into electric cars and every house in America into a solar powered house.
The main barrier is cost or to use another world greed from the big companies.
The second barrier is lack of guts in innovation with the eyes focused on the dividends for shareholders, we see greed again

If we use half the money the war in Iraq is costing per year, we then can assume that we will be spending around 80 billions per years for ten years if we subsidies each electric car to the amount of 10 000 dollars. We will replace 80 millions gas guzzling cars with electric cars charged at home by solar and wind power.
In addition all the researches to improve these techniques will put the USA ahead of the curve which is something unheard of during President Bush tenure.
Ina addition huge diminution in pollution and FREEDOM FROM MIDDLE EAST AND COMMUNIST OIL..

In addition to unbearable lost of American lives and direct cost of war the war in Iraq is keeping the USA behind the curve by preventing the USA to invest HUGE NECESSARY amount of money in research development and education in the strategic and very rich world of new energies.
President Bush latest state of the Union about renewable energy is a joke

Tomorrow
A quick head up on China our next enemy who will take the succession of our present enemy Islamic Power.

The future: Islamic power and US integrity USA TOMORROW, 2006 Feb 14

Dear friends

This is where we left it yesterday.
The following moderate Muslim leaders will be killed or overthrown:
President Musharraf of Pakistan
King Hussein of Jordan
President Moubarak of Egypt
President Karzai of Afghanistan

It is very important to remember that these Leaders are allied to the US.

One caveat; one of them could in order to save his life become a turncoat, support Muslim Power and become an Enemy of the US.

What can we predict today?
It seems to be a very easy prediction to make.

Moderate Arab leaders have all experienced multiple Assassination attempts. Even in the countries they lead, the number of Islamic extremists has grown by 10 fold, increasing rapidly from hundreds of thousands of extremist fundamentalists to tens of millions. These leaders are all extremely pro western and advocate equal rights for women as well as more Democratic societies.

Their enemy’s weapon, suicide bombing, is extremely efficient because it is close range and impossible to predict. Even within their own entourages these leaders are surrounded by all sorts of enemies. These enemies include their fellow worshippers of Islam who pray to the same God that they pray to, but their former supporters, unnoticed extremists, will turn against them because President Musharraf, King Hussein, President Moubarak and President Moubarak do not share their extremist views. It is a matter of statistics and mathematics, their enemies are numerous and growing. Their enemies are willing to kill them to support Islamic Power. It will happen.

The main reasons for their jeopardy are their ties with the US and Western countries as well as their support of Democratic values which are in complete opposition to extreme religious values.

Here is my fourth prediction:
Within 10 years three out of four of these leaders will be dead or will be the enemies of the US.
The consequences for the US are going to be dreadful especially when Pakistani President Musharraf dies or becomes an opponent of the US. I do not understand why he has not already become a US foe in order to save his life. President Musharraf is extremely courageous in his support of the US. The only reason these leaders are going to die is because they are American allies; they could live a long and easy life by turning against Americans.

Another prediction:
Recent reactions by enormous numbers of people who demonstrated against cartoons of the prophet Mohammed demonstrate the absolute Power of Muslim extremists. It is the scope of the protest versus the minuscule cause of the protest that is telling. When I say a minuscule cause, I mean first that the cartoons were initially printed in Denmark for Pete's sake, a nation that is totally irrelevant in international politics. I have seen the cartoons, they are not really mocking the prophet, they are mediocre and absolutely not worthy of notice unless you want to make a mountain out of a mole hill. I really mean it. The cartoons are insignificant, and the country is insignificant in regard to world affairs and the Muslim world.
The cartoons were not published in the Muslim world with the exception of a newspaper with limited circulation in Jordan, the smallest Muslim country. Due to their immense power, extremist Muslims were able to encourage millions of people to demonstrate against the cartoons and at the same time fan hatred of the US without these millions of protesters ever seen the cartoons. Governments and media in US and the West cowered and submitted by abandoning one of the main pillars of Democracy: the freedom of the press (US media were one of the only press among important western nations to deliberately abandon their right to publish the cartoons in order to appease the Muslim power). Again the American people did not see the cartoons and could not exercise their judgement. they would have realized that these cartons are insignificants.

Here is a quotation from Benjamin Franklin who foresaw the Bush era
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Failure to publish the cartoons is an extraordinary prediction of how much the US is going to cower in facing the Muslim Power in the years to come.
In addition Mark Twain must have had a vision of President Bush’s America when he wrote this Humorous quote:
"It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them"

Here is my fifth prediction
Continuing the trend initiated by President Bush, the United States of America will trade civil liberties and Democracy against approbation by religious groups at home the Christian Right and approbation by the Muslim Power abroad will continue until Democrats regain power in the Congress and the White House.

Here is another prediction:
Instead of having won the war in Iraq and the heart and mind of the Muslim world, President Bush lost the war in Iraq and has done just the opposite. Because the Middle East, the land of Islamic Iran, and now Islamic Iraq are now enemies of the USA (with the exception of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Emirates) the oil situation has gotten worse for the US. Tomorrow these Emirates could ask the US to kiss you know what in order to have oil, and you will see the US government do just that. In addition there will be no more push for more Democracy in the Emirates.

Everything that is not Democratic in these Emirates and that is totally against American values will be the savior of the USA.

Kings with dictatorial power, no freedom of the press, no civil liberties, torture and the enslavement of women are powerful tools that will guarantee American oil for as long as the Dynasties (another advantage) remain in power by force.
Here is my sixth prediction:
The Muslim power is going to succeed in making the US cower on many issues within the next 10 years.
The US will renege on its values to keep receiving oil from tyrannical Kingdoms.

Here is another prediction.Due to the overwhelming number of American haters in Muslim countries American people will no longer be safe, and many will be killed in the years to come in Muslim countries. Due to the fact that the Muslim religious extremists are going to expand by leaps and bounds there will be an abundance of terrorists and suicide bombers. Due to this abundance of volunteers, terrorists in the USA will no longer target only huge landmarks full of people but will begin to target smaller or very small easy targets in the US.

Here is my seventh prediction:
American people and their friends will be in danger anywhere in the Muslim world and outside the Muslim world for decades to come.

Tomorrow:
Are there beachheads in the Muslim world where sanity can land?

The Future: part one; Islamic power overview USA TOMORROW 2006 February 13

Dear Friends

Winston Churchill said:" The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likelyto see."I could tell you that I am psychic and that I can predict the future with my crystal ball but that would be fiction.
Instead I predict the future the old fashion way by combining knowledge and deduction.I can predict the future because the elements are there to be gathered and seeped though the filter of knowledge.
Now here are my predictions.
Today: Part OneThe wave of fanatical Islamism is swelling so rapidly and becoming so gigantic that it is the force that is going to model the world in the next decade.
The rise of fanatical Islamic power will have the following results:Assassination of individual Christians, opponents, critics, inside and outside the USAMass murders by bombing civilian populations inside and outside the USAToppling moderate Islamic leaders by assassinationBrain washing millions of people into hating westerners and using that hatred to develop a profound will to kill themSuicide bombers will continue to be the main weapon.Violence is and will be their way of conducting business.
The scope of the problem has dramatically changed since the war in Iraq.The war created an environment in which a small group of people which was at the most counted in dozen of millions to evolve, transform and then unite themselves into an almost perfect force directed against the more than one billion people of the western world.It is the war on Iraq (ONE OF THE ONLY NON-RELIGIOUS NATIONS IN THE ARAB WORLD) that has created the violent strength and scope of Islamic power.The unwarranted and at the same time failed Iraqi war has transformed what was a small, rebellious fanatical group of extremist Muslims into what we can now call the ISLAMIC POWER.For the next decade or two we are in the Era of the Islamic Power.Here is my first Prediction: Islamic power is going to define America for the next decade in the same way that Communist power defined America from the fifties to the seventies.Media in all the Muslim nations shows the failure of the Americans who, in the opinion of Muslims, have lost the war because they cannot prevent their troops from being killed and injured as if they were exposed in a shooting gallery.
The Muslim media also feature TV pictures of Iraqi civilians and children being killed.In this way the Iraqi war is creating millions of dedicated American haters and suicide bombers everyday.Think for a minute, if you as an American could see images of American children being killed and American houses being forcefully entered by Islamist soldiers everyday on TV, and at the same time American preachers told you to hate the Muslims, it would take only a matter of months, not years, before 90 % of the American people hated all Muslims.Here is my second prediction:The war is lost because the more the Americans say that they are rescuing the Iraqi people, the more the Iraqis and the Muslim world hate Americans.Pursuing a lost war is extremely damaging for any country.Another PredictionDuring the last thirty years as I traveled in Muslim countries I witnessed in one of the most Western oriented country an amazing evolution.:Women in their large majority were wearing a head scarf 30 years ago, 25 years ago they dropped the head scarf, 20 years ago they began to go to the beach in vast number because not only them but the whole nation was discovering the pleasure of going to the beach, all the women wore modest bathing suits not Bikinis, and for the following ten years it was a real pleasure to see the joy of these women enjoying the freedom of going into the surf alongside their husband.These women did not stay on the sand they actually enjoyed going into the surf very much.Lately following Fundamentalist Muslims dictat one could go to beaches in these countries and the women are completely dressed up and are not swimming or playing into the surf anymore. They are cooking or preparing a meal or waiting on the sand for their husband to come back from the surf.The most striking element of Muslim Power is the return of the women into a status barely above slavery.You can always count on any religion to put down women.The pressure of Islamic Power is so strong that even in western oriented Arab countries more and more women are wearing head scarf and veiling their face.It is the first sign of submission to absolute man power.
Here is my third prediction
The number of women is Muslim slavery status like will double in our decade and grow exponentially during the next decade.
Our decade covers essentially President Bush two terms so my Prediction to be more realistic should say:
The number of women in Muslim slavery status like will double during President Bush two terms and will grow exponentially as long as the effects of President Bush dangerous policy will be felt around the world and the effects of his policies will be felt for many decades.
Do not miss tomorrow’s Newsletter which predicts in more detail what is going to happen.
For example: The following moderate Muslim leaders will be killed or overthrownPresident Musharraf of PakistanKing Hussein of JordanPresident Moubarak of EgyptPresident Karzai of Afghanistan

Immigration: Is Lou Dobbs crossing the line? USA TOMORROW 2006 January 26

Dear Friends
There is a society of mutual admiration and it is Lou Dobbs and his viewers. By a large majority in a poll he organized them, his viewers put illegal immigration as the number one problem the US are facing, above terrorism,It is an interesting result in its nonsense and absurdity.Only the constant brain washing Lou Dobbs is applying to his viewers on Immigration could achieve such a result.Lou Dobbs has applied a strategy that does not have anything to do with a news show or an editorial page, it is a constant, relentless, bombardment about the evil of illegal immigration. Only on this subject Lou Dobbs would apply all his might and means. Lou Dobbs seems to be the honest man per excellence but Lou Dobbs is not seeing the Big Picture.The big picture is that if anybody constantly, constantly, constantly shows in a very unfavorable light the illegal immigrants who for example get free access to public schools paid by legal American citizens, they are going to be hatedIn addition Lou Dobbs portrays in a positive light the minutemen or vigilantes who without any legal status patrol the border with ARMS to corner the illegal immigrants, but after all according to them the minutemen are doing only what any good American should do, and it is protect the borders of the USA..According to Lou Dobbs new gospel, it is right to create a posse of vigilante to track illegal immigrants.According to Lou Dobbs it is right to portray illegal immigrant as profiteers and an economic burden .
Lou Dobbs has lost his mind, HE HAS CROSSED THE LINE.LOU DOBBS IS PLAYING WITH FIRE,LOU DOBBS IS FANNING THE FLAME OF RACISM,The immigrants are not white, if they were English or Scandinavian or Irish and could not be distinguished from what is still the white majority then they would be welcome because not only they do not stand out as immigrant because of the color of their skin, But they also have the same values and religion as the white American majority.Let us call a spade a spade; Most immigrants now are BROWN from Latin America, they are Colored People,

The monster of Racism with its many forms is so ugly that pushing a RACIST agenda even indirectly is not the act of a responsible Person.
Lou Dobbs without any malice is playing the apprentice sorcerer and has set the most efficient indirect racist campaign.Constantly warning against illegal immigrant that are brown is a constant racist campaign.Lou has tilled the soil, watered the soil and planted seed in the soil for a new breed of racism to explode.LOU DOBBS HAS CROSSED THE LINE

Lou Dobbs CNN is way behind the curve USA TOMORROW 2005 January 24 th

Dear FriendsFORD AUTOMOBILES is closing 12 plants and firing 30 000 employees, that new came after similar job cut at GM which them selves followed job cut from the previous year and the year before
Yesterday for the first time Lou Dobbs addressed indirectly the most important problem of the American Economy:The utter incompetence of most of the CEO who are the supporters and huge donors to President Bush.However It was probably almost the shortest segment in the History of Lou Dobbs show.I like Lou Dobbs honesty but he is missing the big picture.
Addressing this collapsing of the American Companies at such a late date in January 2006 is like deciding that maybe toxic pollution exist in the USA and again we see the pattern of the right wing refusing in unison as their leader President Bush is doing to see the reality, the truth.
When a quick dollar is to be made at the expense of the American people you can bet the farm that President Bush and most of the Conservatives will jump at the occasion.
Fleecing America yesterday and today without regards to the dire consequences of the future of the USA is President Bush agenda as well as his conservatives friends.
The COLLAPSING of the US companies is due mainly to that reason :QUICK BUCK TODAY WHO CARES ABOUT TOMORROW:
Here are the consequences:Some of you are too young to have felt it but they can believe me or ask their parents;
The stars in ELECTRONICS products were all American; Transistor radio ZENITH, television ZENITH, Stereo TEAC.I am not talking about a slight advantage of these American Brands, at one time they had 80 or 90 % of the Market.
AUTOMOBILES: the American cars had 90% of the market in the USA in the late sixties. Now they can barely hang on above 50% of the market.
COMPUTERS: the so called industry of the future. IBM has sold its Desktop Lap top computer division to a Chinese firm.
AIRPLANES: the Chinese have published their new plan for the next 10 years and they intend to become significant players in the Airplane industry and guess what the USA recently transferred to the Chinese enough of the genuine American technology so that they could almost effortlessly gain significant part of the Airplane marketThe CHINESE are going to the moon and guess what: President Bush after saying that the USA will return to the moon and go to Mars made sure that there will NOT be enough money to go to the moon soon.
Going to the MOON was in Kennedy era the golden age of American Research and industry. In order to go back to the moon and go to Mars you will have to develop so many new techniques or invention that this constant technical fight to overcome difficult challenges in this new conquest would have put the USA ahead of the curve again.
THE EARLIEST AND BIGGEST RED FLAG IS WHEN AMERICAN COMPANIES DO NOT EXPORT.Contrary to the false but Cherished image of the American entrepreneur who fight to conquer market share, the almost absolute majority of American companies DO NOT EXPORT their product and it means that the company's product and services ARE NOT COMPETITIVE outside the USA.
For the majority these companies are perfectly happy to fleece the Americans with huge marketing campaigns and discounts and do not have the guts or the quality in their product to win outside the USA.
That is what define the American CEO and their company
THE SECOND BIGGEST RED FLAG IS WHEN YOU LOSE MARKET SHARE ON THE AMERICAN SOIL AND THAT IS TOO LATE IN THE GAME.
BIG AMERICAN COMPANIES, MAIN INDUSTRIES THAT RULED THE WORLD ARE BEEN DEFEATED BY COUNTRIES SUCH AS JAPAN WITH THE ALMOST THE SAME LEVEL OF LABOR COST.
FIRST REMEDY: STOP DIGGING A BIGGER HOLE BY FIRING KING GEORGE BUSH II AND ITS ARMY OF FLEECING MASTERS..SECOND REMEDY: CREATE A POSITIVE CULTURE AS WELL AS FISCAL HELP FOR COMPANIES WHO EXPORT.Best regards

President Bush crossing the line on Pollution USA TOMORROW 2006 January 23th

Dear Friends

When it come to the respect of your own citizens some presidents in the past may not have treated them with enough respect but none since Richard Nixon has had so much contempt as President Bush has for the well being of the majority of its citizens

However President Bush has Gone much further;
PRESIDENT BUS HAS CROSSED THE LINE:

CROSSING THE LINE IN A DEMOCRACY IS WHEN A PERSON HAVING POWER OVER YOU THE CITIZEN TAKES ACTION TO DESTROY YOUR DEMOCRACY AND IN THE PROCESS TAKES AWAY FROM YOU YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS AND CONDUCT HIMSELF OR HERSELF IN A CRIMINAL WAY WHICH CONSEQUENCES ARE TO HARM YOU PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY OR BOTH.


In the following cases you will see that President Bush deliberately choose to HARM the AMERICANS.
This is one of many case when you can say it without a doubt and he took me a long time and a lot of Presidential bad actions to accept the fact that I had to refer to President Bush, the President of the USA as a CRIMINAL.
I am not talking about some vague international UN resolution, or the Kyoto accords I am talking about President Bush in a conscious way POISONING AMERICAN PEOPLE.
President bush engaged himself in authorizing the poisoning of American People, it seems hard to believe but it is the truth.
It would be the same as if you knew that a banned pesticide would harm your neighbor and cause birth defects in your pregnant neighbor but you would change the label and spray the harmful pesticide in your neighbor back yard anyway.
However your neighbor could sue you and you will be convicted of criminal behavior without any doubts.
I have not seen President Bush convicted yet.

Here are a couple of cases

By Gerald Rellick from the Publication: http://www.interventionmag.com/
We have a very early case before 2003 when President Bush after the congress rejected his plan to support the developpement of pollution by MERCURY manipulated the EPA so that they came up with a change in Mercury Pollution control, that would authorised what the Congress has rejected. Mercury vapors are well known to cause birth defect as well as many ailments to human beings.

During the Clinton administration a law diminishing pollution was passed .
Consistent with this law the Clinton EPA proposed reducing mercury emissions from electric-power utilities by 90% by the end of 2007, a reduction from the current 48 tons per year to 5 tons per year.

In short, the Bush EPA came up with a much more leisurely pace for mercury reduction. It proposed reducing mercury emissions to 34 tons per year by 2010 and to 15 tons by 2018. The latter value represents a 70% reduction in mercury over approximately the next 13 years. Recall that the Clinton proposal, which was basically accepted by the Bush EPA in December 2001, would have reduced emissions by 90% in just four years. This is an enormous difference. It would allow an additional 500 tons of mercury to be dumped into the atmosphere by 2018.

HERE IS ANOTHER ONE
From commondreams.org by Tom Dogget
WASHINGTON - A federal court on Wednesday halted a Bush administration plan to allow power plants, oil refineries and other industrial facilities to make upgrades to aging plants without installing costly new air pollution control equipment.
A coalition of environmental groups and states sued to stop the new rules issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, saying the policy changes violated the federal Clean Air Act and would result in more emissions being spewed into the air.
Emissions from coal-fired power plants and refineries can aggravate asthma, chronic bronchitis and pneumonia.
The U.S. appeals court in Washington, agreed to temporarily set aside the changes to the EPA's "new source review" rules and said they could not take effect until the lawsuit challenging their legality was finished.
EPA officials could not immediately be reached for comment on the ruling.

Iran Nuclear weapons USA TOMORROW 2005 January 19

Dear Friends

Again Iran was causing a problem 1000 times bigger than Iraq and of course President Bush choose to go to war against Iraq

Iran is extremely aggressive, Knowing now that President Bush despite all his swaggering cockiness will NEVER attack Iran.
President Bush said NOW that he favors the diplomatic approach: In Bush warmonger language that means :
I do not have the guts or the means to go to war with Iran.
In additions republicans said that the war option was not taken of the table and in diplomatic language when the gvt is forced to say such a statement: it means that in fact the armed option is off the table;

Iran today the most aggressive Country on the planet is totally dedicated to build Nuclear weapons. their dedication is absolute.
Iran is one of the very few countries on the planet that has enough oil NOT to needs an alternate source of energy such as nuclear power .

Can we prevent Iran to build a Nuclear weapon ?
I do not believe we can.
Why?
This totalitarian fundamentalists middle age country recognize only one way of governing which they practice everyday in their own country and it is fear and submission
They are not afraid of the only power willing to go to war these days: the USA because they know the courage to take the right decision is not in President Bush. President Bush takes only wrong decisions.
Barring fear of destruction nothing will prevent Iran to abandon its ardent quest for nuclear weapons.

Different soft approaches are being debated:
Economical sanctions:
Not possible because China has a contract with Iran to buy great quantities of oil from Iran and will veto efficient economic sanction.
No help from Russia who is building nuclear power station in Iran and Mr. Putin does not consider President Bush as an allied but a lost man who can be fooled at every turn. Enriching 100% of the Uranium in Russia will not be accepted by Iran.
Europe always has the Munich attitude: which is: let us keep peace NOW even at the cost of greater lost of lives later.

It comes down to unfortunately two only predictable solutions:

1) If Israel is forced to destroy Iran Nuclear weapons in self defense within five or six years in order not to be "wiped of the surface of the earth" as Iran pledged to do then most Arab nations will have to follow their Muslim populations who are lead by Iran fundamentalist religious leadership and declare some sort of war on Israel.
That is the Best solution and the consequences will last only 50 years with very few or No American death

2) If Iran build Nuclear weapons then at one point they will use it or black mail other countries into submission and it will trigger a war of very important proportion that will involve the USA with a lot of American deaths.
The civilization and place of the USA as we know it will be altered for ever.

Something can be done however, it is relentlessly but softly pushing for a regime change in Iran by helping the opposition.
Unfortunately PRESIDENT BUSH IRAQ is there every day to be shown to the Iranian people as an example OF WHAT NOT TO DO specifically NOT TO FOLLOW THE AMERICAN IDEAS OR CULTURE in any way shape or form.
This is not a solution per say but an action that is similar as a drop of water falling on a stone every minute which could completely change the shape of the stone within 50 years. It is mainly a cultural thing and will be possible only after the enormous blunder of going to war against Iraq which UNITED against the USA 90% of the Muslims in the world Fundamentalists or not, that is about ONE Billion people

President Bush follies in almost all its decisions have put the wonderful and generous country of the USA on its path to a lose lose situation.

Friendly Yours

Iran criminal pledge USA TOMORROW 2005 January 18

Dear Friends

As always the leaders of the free world are missing the center of the target when dealing with Iran;

Instead of focusing first on Iran Breach of Nuclear non proliferation treaty the US an Europe should seek an indictment of Iran and its Leader for declaring and organizing a Genocide.
We the leader of Iran declared that "Israel Must be annihilated" is a DECLARATION of Genocide after this declaration any building of mass destruction weapons is the ORGANIZING of a Genocide. Iran is guilty of ATTEMPTED GENOCIDE.
After Iran and its leaders will be indicted and condemned, thus labeled as Genocide organizers, and an international arrest warrant against Iran president and his diplomats and followers will be implemented. Iran position will be much weaker.
Although it is a long process the simple fact to bring Iran's leaders to courts - as many courts as there are decent countries and decent organizations - will start the process which will brand Iran who is the leader of the Muslim nation as a criminal Nation.

Iran is actually doing the same thing that all murderous totalitarian regime such as Nazi and Stalin regime did : It is accepting negotiation only in order to gain time while they reinforce their aggression capability. they are in the meantime not even concealing that they want to exterminate Israel and terribly damage the USA.

There is a little bit of hope in the sense that the leaders of the free world are taking the threat seriously but not much hope because Iran is so rich in oil that no economic sanctions are possible and thanks to President Bush complete incompetence the Iranian when they are drinking tea are counting American armed division engaged around the world and especially in Iraq and their conclusion is:
President Bush cannot even muster One division to invade Iran so thanks to Allah we are pretty safe.
They are right.
When there is a wrong decision to be taken you can count on President Bush toalways take the wrong one.
Focusing on Iran was the thing to do 4 years ago instead of going to war with Iraq.

Martin Luther King Legacy USA TOMORROW 2005 January 17th

Dear Friends
What about:
Martin Luther King Legacy or
The State of the African American minority today in 2006;
That was the topic of Meet the Press on Martin Luther King.

Two guests, both African Americans were predominant:
Mrs. Marian Wright Eldeman of the Children's defense fund
.John McWhorter of the Manhattan institute
Bill Cosby was not present but his influence was felt during the program
Taylor Branch author of " at Canaan edge' was more an Historian than an activist.

The three African American personalities had a piece of the solution in their hands but could not take this opportunity to weld together these pieces in order to create a unique comprehensive program. They were very very close to a good program
It was extremely interesting:
Mrs. Eldeman cited irrefutable statistics, Tim Russert added a couple of others:
1 in 3 male African American will end up in jail during his life time;
Here is one from Mrs. Eldeman book; A black male born in 2001 has a 1-in-3 chance of ending up in prison. A black girl born the same year has a 1-in-17 chance, she said. `I want to get a debate going on the cradle-to-prison pipeline, the set of odds that are set in front of our black children. The most dangerous inter section of America is the intersection of race and poverty.".
IT IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL
Another statistic"
the National Center for Health Statistics said in terms of births to unmarried mothers. in the Asian community it's 15 percent; in the white community, 24 percent; Hispanic community, 46 percent;
the black community, 69 percent.

These two statistics:
66% of Male Black Americans will go to prison.
69% of Black Children will be born outside marriage
With the correlation that most of these Children will not have a guiding father
This increase the delinquency rate
and the mother will be struggling all her life to make ends meet and take care of her children.
THESE TWO STATISTICS ARE FRIGHTENING:
In addition the Horrible Katrina images showed to the Nations that 99% of very poor refugees in New Orleans were Blacks.
These Image lifted any doubt about who is poor in the USA today and what is the color of the skin of the poor people today.

The first answer to these 2 statistics is that they are NOT ACCEPTABLE,
they are beyond a problem of society they enter the field of CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.

Ina problem of such magnitude it is the Government that is ultimately responsible for this Criminal negligence and that is Mrs. Eldeman conviction with the correlation that the Government should do more.
Although the formidable work of Mr. King and Lyndon Johnson has improved the condition of the Black Community, the Heirs to Martin Luther King who are the Leaders of the African American Community have lead very poorly since his death and especially in the last 20 years.

Bill Cosby and in a more elaborate way Mr. McWhorter have a different approach than Mrs. Eldeman:
Here is Bill Cosby quote who reflects very well Mr. Mc Whorter opinions:
Mr. Cosby said--"`Let me tell you something,' [Bill] Cosby, one of America's most admired men, told the group. `Your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing, and calling each other [the N-word] as they're walking up and down the street. They think they're hip. They can't read. They can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere.' ... `For me there is a time ... when we have to turn the mirror around,' he said. `Because for me it's almost analgesic to talk about what the white man is doing against us. And it keeps a person frozen in their seat. It keeps you frozen in your hole you're sitting in."
Mr. Cosby and Mr. McWorther are partially right :and Mrs. Eldeman is partially right but on Tim Russert show each party did not truly acknowledge that truth;
What does it takes to weld two different interesting programs into ONE efficient program;
A COMPETENT, CAPABLE LEADER. A CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP:
SINCE MARTIN LUTHER KING the black community does not have a UNIQUE leader as in there is ONLY ONE captain of the ship who will gather all the programs and will say:
Mrs. Eldeman you are right and we will organize ourselves to Demand more help for the GovernmentMr. Cosby and McWorther you are right and we will organize Local programs to teach Black People to lift themselves out of Poverty and Hurtful Statistics.
In the meantime In the views of these horrible statistics the African American community should set an executive comity called:FFDC: Fight For Decency Comity and be very demanding of the government as well as of the African American community.
MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THE FOLLOWING and it is Mr. King opinion laid out in the following quote:
Dr. King: Some succeed and not others because the system is stacked against the Negro. And it's all right to say to people, "Lift yourself by your own bootstraps," but it's a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps. And the fact is that millions of Negroes have been left bootless as a result of poverty, as a result of illiteracy caused by inadequate education and real lack of educational opportunities and as a result of centuries of neglect and hurt. And I think the government and everybody must see that the Negro can't do this job by himself.

During my life By circumstances of life not everything was handed to me as it was in the case of President Bush. In addition I got to meet People whose ignorance or absolute lack of education did not allowed them to read and understand the world around them and it was literally impossible to have a decent life.
My opinion is that the environment define for 90% of us who who will become .
Parents are a part of the environment, school friends are a part too.
If parents are themselves troubled uneducated adults and schoolmate are on the same failure path were can one individual succeed.
I believe the most important thing the African American community could do is open schools for parents.

In addition President Bush has to be legally replaced because he is the most racist and most afraid of black people President of modern Presidents.

With Tim Russert the viewer is almost always rewarded with a program of excellent quality:
The viewers understand it and more and more people are watching Meet the Press:
"Meet the Press with Tim Russert" had an impressive ratings win last Sunday, January 8, winning the week in all categories. On Sunday, the NBC public affairs program averaged 4.155 million total viewers, 49% more (+1,374,000) than CBS "Face the Nation's" 2.781, a staggering 74% lead (+1,771,000) over ABC "This Week with George Stephanopoulos'" 2.384 million, and a 212% advantage (+2,824,000) over FOX "News Sunday's" 1.331 million. The NBC program's 49% advantage over "Face the Nation" represents its best advantage over CBS since October 30, 2005. The Russert-moderated program has now placed first for 245 straight weeks, when all Sunday programs were airing at full coverage.

Free Speech and Religion USA TOMORROW 2005 January 13

The use of the words that " we are a Christian nation" by the Christian right advocate for the USA to be a Christian Theocracy Iran is a Theocracy and they define themselves by saying " we are a Muslim Nation".
In what is their wish they are contradicting the US Constitution which is the law created by our Founding fathers and where the world God is NOT mentioned ONCE on purpose and the world Religion is mentioned only in the First amendment to say the government shall NOT sponsor religion.
If you have a Christian Nation which is the wish of the Christian right and the most Famous televangelists then you have no more freedom of Religion and no more freedom of Speech because local tyrant mostly Preachers and Christian Zealots will ask the local authorities to forbid Buddhists or Jews to give speech about their religion as well as forbid their newspapers.
We will be back were the Christian right wants the USA to the war of Religions, intolerance and the Middle age of the mind.
There is no example in the world of a Theocratic nation that as not little by little or forcefully eradicate the Freedom of Speech and Freedom of other Religion.
The most amazing thing is that Jesus is the less wealthy character of the Bible with the exception of Job but Christian Evangelists are super rich.
The second amazing thing is that Jesus is the most tolerant character of the bible but the Christian right is the most intolerant political force of the USA.
.ANYWAY ELIMINATING THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE AS IT IS THE WISH OF THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT GUARANTEES THE ELIMINATION OF THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Today only Nations who have achieved complete separation of Church and States are at peace with each other such as Old Europe who was targeted and Vilified by the Bush Administration as well as the USA before the bigot Bush administration ruled the USA:
ALL THE ENEMIES OF THE USA COME FROM RELIGIOUS NATIONS and President Bush still want to create a Nation lead by religion.
ONLY WHEN RELIGION DID NOT HAVE ANY POLITICAL POWER RELIGION DID NOT ABUSE ITS POWER TO CREATE A DICTATORSHIP. ONLY THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE HAS ACHIEVED THAT.
THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IRAN AND THE USA.
THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT AND THE LIBERALS.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT THE ESSENCE OF A THEOCRACY OR A" CHRISTIAN NATION IS TO ABOLISH THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

The Christian right and a US Theocracy USA TOMORROW 2005 January 12

The first amendment gives you the right to worship a specific God and of course I support that 100%, However I disagree with the Christian right on their quest to turn the USA into a Theocracy which is a Nation lead by specific commandments from a specific religion. The Christian right constantly refers to the History of the USA to back up their drive to establish a Theocracy which they call "a Christian nation" instead of the Democracy we have now.
They base their claim on the pretense that " HISTORY shows that the USA was created a religious Nation AKA a Theocracy by pointing in the History of the USA that references to GOD is present in Documents and beliefs of political figures

Constantly the Christian right Preachers who want without any doubt to create a Theocracy are talking of History and God been part of the History of the USA without ever mentioning that the most important Document of the USA : the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION does not mention once the name of GOD and only once the world of Religion to specifically ban Religion to be Sponsored by the Government.
The Christian right and most televangelists has to find US accessories or monuments mentioning God or its earthly image to circumvent the fact that the Founding fathers put the Separation of Church and State in the First amendment. The First amendment is the law of the Land.

Trying to show that History proves that the USA is after all a theocracy gone wrong is a deception of great magnitude because
Not Once the word GOD is in the Constitution of the USA which is the law of the Land. Therefore in the very beginning at the creation of the Consttution the USA was created as a secular nation.
The USA was built as a Secular Republic and that upsets the Christian right so much that they constantly misrepresent the Constitution to their readers.
The deception is similar of that of that of a group of reckless car drivers saying that there are a lot of pictures of drivers going at very fast SPEED and a lot of pictures of Bikers going very fast in the History of cars and motorbike thus Everybody should be allowed to use fast SPEEDS.
The Deception is similar because these reckless drivers do not mention that in the driving code which is the US constitution for operating a Vehicle the world Speed is mentioned only to restrict the SPEED but not to encourage it..
In addition the Pictures of fast Vehicles are taken only on closed Speed Circuit - second deception-

I have never seen a Republican Christian Conservative group in the media who had the Honesty to Say :
The intention of the Founding fathers was very clear on their intent of the Separation of Church and State because:
First there in not ONCE the world GOD in the US Constitution.
Second the First amendment forbid clearly the Government to sponsor a religion.

However their deception is so incredibly GOOD that I receive Emails from Christian right activists who explain to me that the Separation of Church and State is NOT mentioned in the Constitution.

President Bush against the US Constitution USA TOMORROW 2005 January 11

Dear Friends

President Bush in order to be the absolute Dictator has waged a war against the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
This US Constitution which in its quasi perfection protected generation and Generations of American is been demolished by President George Bush
Before President George Bush took power it is this US Constitution that made the United States of America the ENVY of the ENTIRE WORLD .
Without any doubt President Bush is waging war on US Democracy: The Government of the People by the People

PRESIDENT BUSH HAS CONSCIOUSLY AND ILLEGALLY CIRCUMVENTED no less than FIVE AMENDMENT OF THE US CONSTITUTION
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
President Bush drive to channel state money into religious schools through the Voucher system and his recommendation to teach the Religion of Intelligent Design in Schools. His constant support of the Agenda of the Christian right who wants a theocratic US
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
President Bush signing on spying on Telephone conversation and on Emails letters between Americans without a Warrant
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Using the illegal trick of naming an American defendant " an enemy combatant" such as to hold him indefinitely without a trial.
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Putting American Prisons on Foreign soil such as Guantanamo or occupied Iraq such as Abu Graib or some European eastern countries to justify the use of torture. Using torture was in addition strongly supported by the Vice President.
Amendment XIVSection 1All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
President Bush is one of the most racist modern President:He was elected on Racism sponsoring Duke University where he made his Presidential Campaign inaugural speech: Duke university was the last blatantly racist University who banned relations and marriage between students of different colors. If you were a black man in the USA when President Bush was elected and studying at Duke University, you did not have equal protection of the law because you could not marry a white girl and continue your studies.His racist action is the fruit of a long racist stance. Because there was almost no more segregation in the US President Bush supported racism outside the US by being in favor of apartheid in South Africa. In addition you will never see President Bush mingle with black people unless forced upon him by his Presidential Duties and his PR director.Have a good day Friendly yours Eric Lafayette My website about History and Democracy is: http://www.fordemocracy.com/

Theocracy or Democracy USA TOMORROW 2005 January 10

Do we want a Theocracy or a Democracy:

Terrorist Iran is a Theocracy, Terrorist Taliban Afghanistan was a Theocracy all are US declared enemies.

It is interesting that the People who are pushing very hard for a Theocracy are the insanely rich televangelist the more famous of them are crooks there only talents is to be were able to brainwash their followers.
They are receiving tremendous help by President Bush who is at the forefront of turning the US Democracy into a Theocracy.
He is totally opposed to the " Separation of Church and State" and working every day to abolish it.
A Theocracy is a society where the televangelists rule the country as well as the liberty of the people:
The Founding fathers made very sure to inscribe the Separation of Church and State in the First amendment of the Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
The founding Fathers in their wisdom added the Preamble of Bill of rights knowing that would be dictators such as President Bush will use the tool of religion to enslave the PEOPLE by interpreting the Constitution to their advantage and they were right: that is excactly why they added the Bills of Rights and in the Preamble they warned the People againsnt dictators like President George Bush.
The preamble of the Bill of rights speaks for itself.

The Preamble to The Bill of Rights
Congress of the United Statesbegun and held at the City of New-York, onWednesday the fourth of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine.
THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.
RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all, or any of which Articles, when ratified by three fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of the said Constitution; viz.
ARTICLES in addition to, and Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution

2005 Democracy review USA TOMORROW 2005 Dec 29

Dear Friends

The New year is coming very soon.
But now it is the time to take stock of what was 2005.

What happened to the United States of America
this extraordinary country, this beacon of Democracy?
I hate to be the bearer of bad News but I have bad news:

The USA is not a Democracy anymore.
It is a dictatorship whose co-Dictators the President and
the Vice president have made their agenda and actions clear
and they are:
Spying on American without court supervision,
Campaigning to use Torture as often as possible,
Jailing Americans without a hearing or a trial,
Lying to the Americans to deceive them into going into a war against Iraq.
Sending American soldiers to die for a lost and impossible cause.
Surrounding themselves with anti democracy henchmen such as:
Attorney general Alberto Gonzales who refused to condemn extreme torture.
A supreme court majority who wants to make women the slave of male lust.
A racist driven agenda specifically sponsored by the President.
A lily white republican senate majority showing that Blacks are not welcome..
A return to war of religions and bigot religious dictats
No more separation of Church and State.
No more respect of the Constitution including the Bill of rights.
Keeping American students as illiterate as possible by cutting education funds.

That IS today the state of Democracy in the United States of America.

All these issues have been addressed extensively in my Daily Newsletters

The USA is a Dictatorship 2 USA TOMORROW DAILY 2005 Dec 21

Dear Friends

ARE WE THE CITIZENS OF THE USA IN DEMOCRACY OR IN A DICTATORSHIP?
In that case do we want to go back to Democracy or are we happier to live under a dictatorial government?

What are the last elements that CONFIRMS that the USA was and is now a Dictatorship under George Bush the young

1)The constant DESIRE TO USE TORTURE by USA officials:
a)Vice President Dick Cheney lately FOUGHT HARD to keep the ability for the CIA to use torture when John McCain Republican Senator wanted to outlaw it totally.
Only major arm twisting from Senator Warren and McCain FORCED Presided Bush to accept a non torture policy which is not in effect yet.
b) Condoleezza Rice acknowledged that President Bush authorized " Rendition" of the Prisoners to other countries.
"Rendition" means that the USA was sending their prisoners to Countries where the law against torture were lax thus authorizing torture to be performed on Prisoners made by American Army or American officials.
In short President Bush and his government were SUBCONTRACTING TORTURE.
c)THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE USA ALBERTO GONZALES refused on TV to specifically condemn the most used TORTURE TECHNIQUE by the NAZIS during World War II. This technique was nicknamed by Nazis resistant the BATHTUB because at this time it was easy to find a bath tube almost anywhere, fill it with water, submerge the head of the detainee under water and wait till he is suffocating and drowning and pull his head out of the water just before he Drowns.
d) Torture was effectively conducted in some American prisons in Iraq

2) the abandon of 6th amendment
A detainee or suspect by American officials is entitled to " a prompt and speedy trial"
NOT ANYMORE under President Bush DICTATORSHIP, the president can rename an American detainee an ENEMY COMBATANT to keep him in Jail indefinitely without a PROMPT and SPEEDY trial.
Text of 6th Amendment
Amendment VIIn all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.

3) the Abandoning of the IV AmendmentIn a fascinating Impeachable offense President Bush boasted and was forceful and proud to tell the American People that he has authorized secret wire tap to listen secretly to their phone conversation without a warrant by the court or read their Email ( which is of course the electronic form of paper) under the same absence of guaranties of civil liberties.
The fascinating part is that under another provision the law gave the president the right to do all this spying on the Americans, the law is called the FISA ( Foreign Intelligence surveillance act) and authorize the National secret Agency to wiretap American people providing that they get a Warrant by a judge AFTER the wiretap is executed, ( within 72 hours).
This law was passed to address the fact that now in our era of instant Communication with Cell phone and laptop the NSA cannot wait a couple of Hours or a day to take action against a would be terrorist.
However in order to cover it up All President BUSH henchmen went on the air and repeated that President Bush special SECRET Authorization of wiretaps WITHOUT ANY WARRANT was justified by the necessity to act quickly:
This was a repeated and Blatant lie because the warrant under the FISA law authorized the NSA to wiretap AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DELAYS.
It is the most telling action of George Bush PRESIDENCY because it tells with incredible loudness that when President Bush has the choice of respecting the DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION OF THE USA, he chooses to USE ANTIDEMOCRATIC METHODS WHICH ARE THE METHODS OF A DICTATOR.
IT IS VITAL TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT BUSH if DEMOCRACY IS TO BE RESTORED IN THE USA
Amendment IVThe right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It is always important to see the pattern of action that define a man and in our case President Bush can be safely defined as somebody WHO DOES NOT VALUE DEMOCRACY, CIVIL RIGHTS AND BASIC HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
PRESIDENT BUSH IS A MAN WITH TWO FACES.
HE CONSTANTLY PRIZES THE VALUES OF DEMOCRACY FOR IRAQ WHICH WAS A DICTATORSHIP WHILE UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY IN THE USA WHO IS NOW THANKS TO HIM A DICTATORSHIP.

PRESIDENT BUSH LEGACY IS GOING TO BE THE WORST OF THE RECENT AMERICAN PRESIDENTS;

HE WILL HAVE SUCCEEDED IN CREATING A TOTALITARISM FUNDAMENTALIST THEOCRATIC DICTATORSHIP IN IRAQ while claiming that he is establishing a Democracy in IRAQ and at the same time he IS DESTROYING DEMOCRACY IN THE USA creating a US DICTATORSHIP.
PS: Here is the preamble to the Amendments that defines the bill of rightsThe Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

Torture in the USA Daily USA TOMORROW 2005 dec 20

Dear Friends

A very short Daily on the news of Lasr week

For President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales who endorsed torture
The answer of a US congressman
"Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction."Barack Obama

A Daily 15 USA TOMORROW 2005 Dec 16 Bully week new Ethics

Yesterday we were asking ourselves why Hitler and Staline, who did not kill in proportion more People than Jules Caesar and Gengis Khan are considered as Criminals today and the later are admired, .

The main reason has to be found at the origin of Democracy in Greece around 800/700 BC: " The fact that there was a feeling that every fellow citizen would be listened to is the philosophy that is the corner stone of democracy."
From that point on DEMOCRACY flourished in Greece until Alexander the Great and his father Demolished it around 300 BC.

There was a revival of Democracy in Rome and Italy around: 500 BC and Democracy in Rome was Destroyed by Julius Caesar in 49 BC when he crossed the Rubicon.

It will take almost 2000 years to see Democracybe alive again and it is in 1776 when The USA declared their Independance to form a Democracy and then added the Constitution in 1787 and the Bill of Rights in 1789.

It is important to underline that Democracy is really a very annoying system for Bullies.
Everything in a Democracy is trying to prevent Bullies to become dictators, that is why Alexander the Great then Julius Caesar Dispatched Democracy as soon as it was feasable for them.
A good test that shows how much the leader of a country is a Bully or a dictator is to watch how much he or she respects Democarcy and enhance Democracy or How much he or she is trying to destroy the elements of Democracy.
President Bush by his actions clearly showed that he is a destroyer of Democracy.( absolute contempt for the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution, guarding without a "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed" - Bill of Rights Amendment VI-) an American Citizen

The advent of Democracy is the most important event in History ever. It was not without many struggles but Today ALL the European countries are at peace one with other including Russia, The entire American continent enjoys peace. There is no war BETWEEN any European Country and any American country.
It is not a coincidence if All these countries who enjoy PEACE are also DEMOCRACIES.
A couple of exceptions in the western world:
Cuba but so small and no allies that it does not matter
Venezuela although refered as a Democracy is a classical communist dictatorship
The USA who should be at Peace after having won the Afghanistan war if they have not been led into an unnecessary war by George Bush.
Russia repressing the Chechenes.

After the horrors of the two World wars and the Cold War( not to be forgotten although it was called Cold war killed millions of people inside the Communist countries, )the western world has achieved a good level of Democracy and prosperity.

The values of Democracy as they spread first in the western countries, have proven NOW without any doubt that it is the best form of goverment and bring peace and prosperity.

The United Nation is the Projection of Democracy values and institutions on an International level instead that of a National level.
It is s good test to assess who is a Bully in checking who are the nation who repeatedly reject the UN resolution, criticize constantly the UN and try to undermine the UN
Again President Bush is succeding in showing that he is one of the leading Bullies in undermining the UN

Can you distort the Institutions that organize Democracy?
Yes
Hitler overthrew the Weimar Republic and Staline made himself an absolute dictator making the USSR institutions a Democratic front.
Both these leaders who had conquered a lot of land and richesses for their people ended up making the people who trusted them in the beginning a lot unhappier and their situation a lot worse.
It is a VERY good test of a Bully and the people he bullied to assess how much better or how much worse the people of a country or a group are faring after the rule of a Bully.
How much safer or how less safe are the American people under George Bush rule is a fair question.
Bullying is also about the use of Power and as we will see next week :

Power corrupt, Absolute power corrupt absolutely

Daily 14 USA TOMORROW 2005 Dec 15 Bully week United Nations

Dear FriendsBefore the United Nations were created, it was a simpler world, a world for Texan President Bush the young who unequivocably stated that he had no trust in the UN,
a world were the rich, the white, the male, Bullied the rest of the population around the world.In ancient times as a leader of a Nation you were a complete failure if you were not a conqueror of lands, Countries and People.Most of these ancient conquerors such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Gengis Khan then later Napoleon were revered in their country and admired in a great part of the world.It is important to underline that they were idolized in their time,They were the conquerors, they brought richesses to their countries, to their Peoples,They were cited as example and were the most famous men on earth throughout the ages,On the other hand they killed or had killed millions of Peoples.Julius caesar was very close to commit a genocide in gaul and the toll on human lives during the wars led by these conquerors of an ancient age was enormous.From their age through our age they are considered in a very positive light and lauded for their exploits and mastery of their military art up until today.We now go to a recent time with two super atrocious Bullies; Hitler and Staline.Why are they considered horrendous mass murderers? After all in proportion they did not kill more people than the conquerors of the ancient times.Where is the explanation?have ethicals standards changed?
We will develop that point tomorrow.

LINCOLN DAILY USA TOMORROW

Following we have the dailies about Lincoln with sometimes

comparison with President Bush

-------------

Daily 10 USA TOMORROW 2005 Dec 7th Lincoln " We destroyed ourselves"

Dear Friends

Another quote written in the 1850's.
And guess who said it;

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

How incredibly relevant to today's relentless destruction of America's ethical values by President Bush including now the creation of Hidden alleged prisoner camp is this quote. Although underrated in comparison of America's wealth and military power by everybody, moral values were the corner stone of Abraham Lincoln and George WASHINGTON actions.

Bush destructive era is reminding the US citizens of other well know Destructive conservatives such as Eugene McCarthy the witch Hunter and President Nixon the Watergate plumber.
Most government of this era being Kingdoms or dictators were very eager to see a Democracy implode and collapse. President Lincoln was forcefully dedicated on keeping alive the USA as a beacon of Democracy against secession and slavery
For him DEMOCRACY was the Ethical way of government.
President LINCOLN was a man of peace who inherited an inevitable war.
President Bush has a war like a gang- ho attitude and deceived the American People into going into an unnecessary war

Of course You have probably Guessed that President Lincoln was the Author of this quote.

I believe that there was no President superior or even equal to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington in the field of ethics.They upheld American values through the practicing of very high moral values in periods of Intense crisis

Have a good day
Friendly yours
Eric Lafayette

Daily 8 USA TOMORROW 2005 Dec 5th Lincoln Grandeur

Dear Friends

I would like to talk to you about President LINCOLN grandeur and exceptional personality
By far the most intriguing trait of Character about Lincoln is his Genuine kindness and profound altruism:
In short he was the absolute nice guy and we are told and we see that most of the time nice guys do not win.However he is with George Washington the most revered President in American History.He ultimately won all the challenges he had to face.
He exhibited a kindness akin to a saint man in the worst circumstances the United States of America had seen and will see.You then would say he was a very religious man and was following the teaching of the Christians.Although Lincoln referred to an almighty god he was one of the less religious president and did not follow the rituals of the Church.
The most striking feature of his genuine kind soul was his forgiveness:
Once elected President, he choose all his opponents in the race to the Presidency to form his cabinet, nominating them at the highest office, they were; Mr. Sewards, Chase, Bates and Blair.During the campaign they had attacked him relentlessly and the least of the Attack was that he was a " rail splinter, a farmboy a second rate lawyer from Ohio etc.. In addition within a year he hired for the post of secretary of war Edward Stanton who had scorned him and put him down in a most rude way when they were supposed to work together on a legal case.
Without one exception all these men named above when they came to Lincoln cabinet had absolute contempt for him and some had hostility. After a few months or a couple of years all with the exception of Chase admired loved and even worshipped that great man.
Lincoln had the courage even more the Bravery to hire fierce opponents because he knew that they were competent and that they will keep the nation together. The more People knew Lincoln, the more they loved him.President Lincoln met and shook hands while President with ten of thousands of American people of humble origin.As a comparison President George Bush hired only cronies and Daddy's friends showing his trademark which is a great lack of courage.The more People know George Bush the more they dislike him. President Bush is afraid of his own People and lives in a sterile Bubble that protect him from the contact with American People.
In conclusion we will continue in the following day to explore lesser known traits of President Lincoln character.
Have a good day

LINCOLN EARLY CHILDHOOD USA TOMORROW 2005 DEC 23

Dear Friends

We are going to walk effortlessly in the company of the great men and women of History.
We are going to compare them with Today's Leader's of the world.
We are going to start with American History
You may want to create a special folder such as "History" in your outlook inbox and copies all these Email for future references.
This travelling together will not only allow us to learn about history but history bestowing on its student the gift of analysis as well as the gift of divination.
Our motto will be a quote from Winston Churchill:
'The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."

We are beginning with he most famous man in American History
We are going to try to know better the most popular President of the USA, ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Because President Lincoln life has been often slightly twisted into a Myth we will endeavor to give you a factual, historical, reliable account of his life.
Abraham Lincoln was Born on February 12, 1809 in Sinking spring farm not far from the city of Hogdenville, Kentucky from Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Lincoln , Nancy Hawks before her marriage.
And yes it is true, it was a one room log cabin. When he was almost two years old the family moved again to a farm on Knob creek in another ONE SMALL ROOM LOG CABIN again.
The family stayed on that farm until he was seven years old and very young Lincoln worked the fields with his father and went very briefly to an ABC school where he learned the alphabet but not to write.
It was his mother Nancy who was depicted as a Brilliant woman who taught him to read and write.
Abraham Lincoln in his later years has this to say about his mother:
" All that I am or hope ever to be I get from my mother, God bless her"
It is a tribute to the love and care his mother bestowed on him as well as the fact that he inherited her intellectual brilliant mind .
However looking back at his life when very young, Abraham Lincoln himself though that there was not much in it .
He suggested that a verse in a famous poem by ; Thomas Grey's " the shorts and simple annals of the poor" was a fair summary of his early childhood .
Abraham Lincoln Early childhood was a childhood lived in a family that we can call "dirt poor" resembling many many family around the frontier where barely surviving was the norm.

It is always interesting to compare, analyze past events or past action to current actions, it is this process that gives you the gift of Divination.
What about comparing Recent President George Bush early Childhood to Abraham Lincoln early Childhood.
Our next Daily brief will be on President Bush Early Childhood.

USA TOMORROW Dec 2005 Monthly Lincoln and Tolstoy

Dear Friends

I came upon a jewel in Doris Kearn Goodwin book : A TEAM OF RIVALS
I am sharing it with you unabridged, unaltered.

In 1908, in a wild and remote area of the North Caucasus ( Russia), Leon Tolstoy the greatest reader of the age, was the guest of a tribal chef " living far away from civilized life in the mountains". Gathering his family and neighbors, the chief asked Tolstoy to tell story about the famous men in history. Tolstoy told how he entertained the eager crowd for hours with tales of Alexander, Cesar, Frederick the Great and Napoleon. When he was winding to a close, the chief stood and said, " But you have not told us a syllable about the greatest General and greatest ruler of the world. We want to know something about him. He was a hero.
He spoke with a voice of thunder; he laughed like the sunrise,and his deeds were strong as the rock...
His name was Abraham Lincoln and the country in which he lived is called America, which is so far away that if a youth should journey to reach it he would be an old man when he arrived.
Tell us of that man"
" I looked at them, " Tolstoy recall, " and saw their faces all aglow, while their eyes were burning. I saw that these rude barbarians were really interested in a man whose name and deeds had already become a legend."
He told them everything he knew about Lincoln's" home life and youth...his habits, his influence among the people and his physical strength. " When he finished they were so grateful for the story that they presented him with a wonderful Arabian horse."
The next morning, as Tolstoy prepared to leave, they asked if he could possibly acquire for them a picture of Lincoln.
Thinking that he might find one at a friend's house in a neighboring town, Tolstoy asked one of the rider to accompany him. ' I was successful in getting a large photography from one of my friends," recalled Tolstoy . As he handed it to the rider, he noted that the man's hand trembled as he took it.
He gazed for several minutes silently, like one in a reverent prayer , his eyes filled with tears."
Tolstoy went on to observe,"This little incident proves how largely the name of Lincoln is worshipped throughout the world and how legendary his Personality has become. Now, why was Lincoln so great that he overshadows all other national Heroes? He really was not a great general like Napoleon or Washington, he was not such a skillful statesman as Gladstone or Frederick the great; but his supremacy expresses itself altogether in his peculiar moral power and in the greatness of his Character.
" Washington was a typical American. Napoleon a typical Frenchman, but Lincoln was a humanitarian as broad as the world. He was bigger than his country - bigger than all the Presidents together.

My analysis;
Abraham LINCOLN made friends even more worshipper for the United Sates and its citizens all over the world.
President BUSH made enemies even more haters against the United States and its citizens all over the world

Now from my point of view as you know I fell in love with Abraham Lincoln because except if you are a Klux klux klan member or a racist you cannot prevent yourself to fall in love with such a man with a personality made of Great Kindness and great intelligence.
You Fall in love with Abraham Lincoln.
You fall in admiration with George Washington.
Although not as Genial as Lincoln, George Washington literally hold by the skin of his teeth ( and the teeth were not that great) for inhumanly long period of time against absolute poverty of means to win a war in order to give BIRTH to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
