Input: A word about the millions of decent, honest, good people who are either devout Moslems or are not very religious but grew up in Moslem families:

millions

Moslems

Input: They are double victims of an outside world, which now develops Islamophobia, and of their own environment which breaks their heart by being totally dysfunctional.


Input: The problem is that the vast silent majority of these Moslems are not part of the terror and the incitement, but they also do not stand up political leaders, intellectuals, business people and many others.

Moslems


Input: Many of them can certainly tell right from wrong, but are afraid to express their views.


Input: The events of the last few years have amplified four issues, which have always existed, but have never been as rampant as in the present upheaval in the region.

Input: A few more years may pass before everybody acknowledges that it is a World War,

Input: These are the four main pillars of the current World Conflict, or perhaps we should already refer to it as `` the undeclared World War III'': against it. They become accomplices, by omission, and this applies to

World War III


Input: Suicide murders are not a new invention


Input: but they have been made popular, if I may use this expression, only lately.


Input: Even after September 11, it seems that most of the Western World does not yet understand this weapon.

September 11

the Western World


Input: It is a very potent psychological weapon.


Input: Its real direct impact is relatively minor.


Input: The total number of casualties from hundreds of suicide murders within Israel in the last three years is much smaller than those due to car accidents.

Input: September 11 was quantitatively much less lethal than many earthquakes

Input: So what is all the fuss about suicide killings?


Input: It creates headlines.


Input: It is spectacular.


Input: It is frightening.


Input: It is a very cruel death with bodies dismembered and horrible severe lifelong injuries to many of the wounded.


Input: It is always shown on television in great detail.


Input: One such murder, with the help of hysterical media coverage, can destroy the tourism industry of a country for quite a while, as it did in Bali and in Turkey.

Bali

Turkey


Input: But the real fear comes from the undisputed fact that no defense and no preventive measures can succeed against a determined suicide murderer.


Input: This has not yet penetrated the thinking of the Western World.

the Western World


Input: The U.S. and Europe are constantly improving their defense against the last murder, not the next one.

U.S.

Europe


Input: We may arrange for the best airport security in the world.


Input: But if you want to murder by suicide, you do not have to board a plane in order to explode yourself and kill many people.


Input: Who could stop a suicide murder in the midst of the crowded line waiting to be checked by the airport metal detector?


Input: How about the lines to the check - in counters in a busy travel period?


Input: Put a metal detector in front of every train station in Spain and the terrorists will get the buses.

Spain


Input: Protect the buses and they will explode in movie theaters, concert halls, supermarkets, shopping malls, schools and hospitals.


Input: Put guards in front of every concert hall and there will always be a line of people to be checked by the guards


Input: and this line will be the target, not to speak of killing the guards themselves.


Input: You can somewhat reduce your vulnerability by preventive and defensive measures and by strict border controls but not eliminate it and definitely not win the war in a defensive way.


Input: And it is a war!


Input: What is behind the suicide murders?


Input: Money is, money and power and cold - blooded murderous incitement, nothing else.


Input: It has nothing to do with true fanatic religious beliefs.


Input: No Moslem preacher has ever blown himself up.

Moslem


Input: No son of an Arab politician or religious leader has ever blown himself up.

Arab


Input: No relative of anyone influential has done it.


Input: Wouldn't you expect some of the religious leaders to do it themselves, or to talk their sons into doing it, if this is truly a supreme act of religious fervor?


Input: Aren't they interested in the benefits of going to Heaven?


Input: Instead, they send outcast women, naive children, retarded people and young incited hotheads.


Input: They promise them the delights, mostly sexual, of the next world, and pay their families handsomely after the supreme act is performed and enough innocent people are dead.


Input: Suicide murders also have nothing to do with poverty and despair.


Input: The poorest region in the world, by far, is Africa.

Africa


Input: It never happens there.


Input: There are numerous desperate people in the world, in different cultures, countries and continents.


Input: Desperation does not provide anyone with explosives, reconnaissance and transportation.


Input: There was certainly more despair in Saddam's Iraq than in Paul Bremmer's Iraq,

Saddam

Paul Bremmer's

Iraq

Input: and no one exploded himself.


Input: A suicide murder is simply a horrible, vicious weapon of cruel, inhuman, cynical, well - funded terrorists, with no regard to human life, including the life of their fellow countrymen, but with very high regard to their own affluent well - being and their hunger for power.


Input: The only way to fight this new `` popular'' weapon is identical to the only way in which you fight organized crime or pirates on the high seas: the offensive way.


Input: Like in the case of organized crime, it is crucial that the forces on the offensive be united and it is crucial to reach the top of the crime pyramid.


Input: You can not eliminate organized crime by arresting the little drug dealer on the street corner.


Input: You must go after the head of the `` Family''.


Input: If part of the public supports it, others tolerate it, many are afraid of it and some try to explain it away by poverty or by a miserable childhood, organized crime will thrive and so will terrorism.


Input: The United States understands this now, after September 11.

The United States

Input: Russia is beginning to understand it.

Input: Turkey understands it well.

Input: I am very much afraid that most of Europe still does not understand it.

Europe


Input: Unfortunately, it seems that Europe will understand it only after suicide murders arrive in Europe in a big way.

Input: In my humble opinion, this will definitely happen.

Input: The unity of the Civilized World in fighting this horror is absolutely indispensable.


Input: Until Europe wakes up, this unity will not be achieved.

Europe


Input: Words can be lethal.


Input: They kill people.


Input: It is often said that politicians, diplomats and perhaps also lawyers and business people must sometimes lie, as part of their professional life.


Input: But the norms of politics and diplomacy are childish, in comparison with the level of incitement and total absolute deliberate fabrications, which have reached new heights in the region we are talking about.


Input: An incredible number of people in the Arab world believe that September 11 never happened, or was an American provocation or, even better, a Jewish plot.

Input: You all remember the Iraqi Minister of Information, Mr. Mouhamad Said al-Sahaf and his press conferences when the US forces were already inside Baghdad.

Input: Disinformation at time of war is an accepted tactic.


Input: But to stand, day after day, and to make such preposterous statements, known to everybody to be lies, without even being ridiculed in your own milieu, can only happen in this region.


Input: Mr. Sahaf eventually became a popular icon as a court jester,

Sahaf


Input: but this did not stop some allegedly respectable newspapers from giving him equal time.


Input: It also does not prevent the Western press from giving credence, every day, even now, to similar liars.


Input: After all, if you want to be an anti-Semite, there are subtle ways of doing it.


Input: You do not have to claim that the holocaust never happened, and that the Jewish temple in Jerusalem never existed.

Input: But millions of Moslems are told by their leaders that this is the case.

Input: When these same leaders make other statements, the Western media report them as if they could be true.


Input: It is a daily occurrence that the same people who finance, arm and dispatch suicide murderers, condemn the act in English in front of western TV cameras, talking to a world audience, which even partly believes them.

English


Input: It is a daily routine to hear the same leader making opposite statements in Arabic to his people and in English to the rest of the world.

Input: Incitement by Arab TV, accompanied by horror pictures of mutilated bodies, has become a powerful weapon of those who lie, distort and want to destroy everything.

Input: Little children are raised on deep hatred and on admiration of so - called martyrs,


Input: and the Western World does not notice it because its own TV sets are mostly tuned to soap operas and game shows.


Input: I recommend to you, even though most of you do not understand Arabic, to watch Al Jazeera, from time to time.

Input: You will not believe your own eyes.


Input: But words also work in other ways, more subtle.


Input: A demonstration in Berlin, carrying banners supporting Saddam's regime and featuring three - year old babies dressed as suicide murderers, is defined by the press and by political leaders as a `` peace demonstration''.

Input: She then blows herself up, killing 20 people, including many children, with heads and arms rolling around in the restaurant.


Input: She is called `` martyr'' by several Arab leaders and `` activist'' by the European press.

Arab

European


Input: Dignitaries condemn the act but visit her bereaved family and the money flows.


Input: There is a new game in town:


Input: The actual murderer is called `` the military wing'',


Input: the one who pays him, equips him and sends him is now called `` the political wing''


Input: and the head of the operation is called the `` spiritual leader''.


Input: There are numerous other examples of such Orwellian nomenclature, used every day not only by terror chiefs but also by Western media.


Input: These words are much more dangerous than many people realize.


Input: They provide an emotional infrastructure for atrocities.


Input: It was Joseph Goebbels who said that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.

Joseph Goebbels


Input: He is now being outperformed by his successors.


Input: Huge amounts of money, which could have solved many social problems in this dysfunctional part of the world, are channeled into three concentric spheres supporting death and murder.

three


Input: In the inner circle are the terrorists themselves.


Input: The money funds their travel, explosives, hideouts and permanent search for soft vulnerable targets.


Input: The inner circles are primarily financed by terrorist states like Iran and Syria, until recently also by Iraq and Libya and earlier also by some of the Communist regimes.

Iran

Input: These states, as well as the Palestinian Authority, are the safe havens of the wholesale murder vendors.

the Palestinian Authority


Input: They are surrounded by a second wider circle of direct supporters, planners, commanders, preachers, all of whom make a living, usually a very comfortable living, by serving as terror infrastructure.

second


Input: Finally, we find the third circle of so - called religious, educational and welfare organizations, which actually do some good, feed the hungry and provide some schooling, but brainwash a new generation with hatred, lies and ignorance.

third


Input: This circle operates mostly through mosques, madrasas and other religious establishments but also through inciting electronic and printed media.


Input: It is this circle that makes sure that women remain inferior, that democracy is unthinkable and that exposure to the outside world is minimal.


Input: It is also that circle that leads the way in blaming everybody outside the Moslem world, for the miseries of the region.

Moslem


Input: The outer circle is largely financed by Saudi Arabia, but also by donations from certain Moslem communities in the United States and Europe and, to a smaller extent, by donations of European Governments to various NGO's and by certain United Nations organizations, whose goals may be noble, but they are infested and exploited by agents of the outer circle.

Input: The Saudi regime, of course, will be the next victim of major terror, when the inner circle will explode into the outer circle.

Saudi


Input: The Saudis are beginning to understand it, but they fight the inner circles, while still financing the infrastructure at the outer circle.

Saudis


Input: Figuratively speaking, this outer circle is the guardian, which makes sure that the people look and listen inwards to the inner circle of terror and incitement, rather than to the world outside.


Input: Some parts of this same outer circle actually operate as a result of fear from, or blackmail by, the inner circles.


Input: The horrifying added factor is the high birth rate.


Input: Half of the population of the Arab world is under the age of 20, the most receptive age to incitement, guaranteeing two more generations of blind hatred.

Input: Mrs. Arafat, who lives in Paris with her daughter, receives tens of thousands of dollars per month from the allegedly bankrupt Palestinian Authority, while a typical local ringleader of the Al-Aksa brigade, reporting to Arafat, receives only a cash payment of a couple of hundred dollars, for performing murders at the retail level.

Input: The civilized world believes in democracy, the rule of law, including international law, human rights, free speech and free press, among other liberties.


Input: There are naive old - fashioned habits such as respecting religious sites and symbols, not using ambulances and hospitals for acts of war, avoiding the mutilation of dead bodies and not using children as human shields or human bombs.


Input: Never in history, not even in the Nazi period, was there such total disregard of all of the above as we observe now.

Nazi


Input: Every student of political science debates how you prevent an anti-democratic force from winning a democratic election and abolishing democracy.


Input: Other aspects of a civilized society must also have limitations.


Input: Can a policeman open fire on someone trying to kill him?


Input: Can a government listen to phone conversations of terrorists and drug dealers?


Input: Does free speech protect you when you shout `` fire'' in a crowded theater?


Input: Should there be death penalty, for deliberate multiple murders?


Input: These are the old - fashioned dilemmas.


Input: But now we have an entire new set.


Input: Do you raid a mosque, which serves as a terrorist ammunition storage?


Input: Do you return fire, if you are attacked from a hospital?


Input: Do you storm a church taken over by terrorists who took the priests hostages?


Input: Do you search every ambulance after a few suicide murderers use ambulances to reach their targets?


Input: Do you strip every woman because one pretended to be pregnant and carried a suicide bomb on her belly?


Input: Do you shoot back at someone trying to kill you, standing deliberately behind a group of children?


Input: Do you raid terrorist headquarters, hidden in a mental hospital?


Input: Do you shoot an arch-murderer who deliberately moves from one location to another, always surrounded by children?


Input: All of these happen daily in Iraq and in the Palestinian areas.

Iraq

Palestinian


Input: What do you do?


Input: Well, you do not want to face the dilemma.


Input: But it can not be avoided.


Input: Suppose, for the sake of discussion, that someone would openly stay in a well - known address in Teheran, hosted by the Iranian Government and financed by it, executing one atrocity after another in Spain or in France, killing hundreds of innocent people, accepting responsibility for the crimes, promising in public TV interviews to do more of the same, while the Government of Iran issues public condemnations of his acts but continues to host him, invite him to official functions and treat him as a great dignitary.

Input: I leave it to you as homework to figur out what Spain or France would have done, in such a situation.

Input: The problem is that the civilized world is still having illusions about the rule of law in a totally lawless environment.


Input: It is trying to play ice hockey by sending a ballerina ice - skater into the ring or to knock out a heavyweight boxer by a chess player.


Input: In the same way that no country has a law against cannibals eating its prime minister, because such an act is unthinkable, international law does not address killers shooting from hospitals, mosques and ambulances, while being protected by their Government or society.


Input: International law does not know how to handle someone who sends children to throw stones, stands behind them and shoots with immunity and can not be arrested because he is sheltered by a Government.


Input: International law does not know how to deal with a leader of murderers who is royally and comfortably hosted by a country, which pretends to condemn his acts or just claims to be too weak to arrest him.


Input: The amazing thing is that all of these crooks demand protection under international law, and define all those who attack them as `` war criminals,'' with some Western media repeating the allegations.


Input: The good news is that all of this is temporary,


Input: because the evolution of international law has always adapted itself to reality.


Input: The punishment for suicide murder should be death or arrest before the murder, not during and not after.


Input: After every world war, the rules of international law have changed, and the same will happen after the present one.


Input: But during the twilight zone, a lot of harm can be done.


Input: The picture I described here is not pretty.


Input: What can we do about it?


Input: In the short run, only fight and win.


Input: In the long run, only educate the next generation and open it to the world.


Input: The inner circles can and must be destroyed by force.


Input: The outer circle can not be eliminated by force.


Input: Here we need financial starvation of the organizing elite, more power to women, more education, counter-propaganda, boycott whenever feasible and access to Western media, internet and the international scene.


Input: Above all, we need a total absolute unity and determination of the civilized world against all three circles of evil.

Input: Allow me, for a moment, to depart from my alleged role as a taxi driver and return to science.


Input: When you have a malignant tumor, you may remove the tumor itself surgically.


Input: You may also starve it by preventing new blood from reaching it from other parts of the body, thereby preventing new `` supplies'' from expanding the tumor.


Input: If you want to be sure, it is best to do both.


Input: But before you fight and win, by force or otherwise, you have to realize that you are in a war, and this may take Europe a few more years.

Europe

Input: In order to win, it is necessary to first eliminate the terrorist regimes, so that no Government in the world will serve as a safe haven for these people.

Input: It is important to monitor all donations from the Western World to Islamic organizations, to monitor the finances of international relief organizations and to react with forceful economic measures to any small sign of financial aid to any of the three circles of terrorism.

Islamic


Input: It is also important to act decisively against the campaign of lies and fabrications and to monitor those Western media who collaborate with it out of naivety, financial interests or ignorance.


Input: Above all, never surrender to terror.


Input: No one will ever know whether the recent elections in Spain would have yielded a different result, if not for the train bombings a few days earlier.

Input: But it really does not matter.


Input: What matters is that the terrorists believe that they caused the result and that they won by driving Spain out of Iraq.

Input: If by democracy we mean free elections but also free press, free speech, a functioning judicial system, civil liberties, equality to women, free international travel, exposure to international media and ideas, laws against racial incitement and against defamation, and avoidance of lawless behavior regarding hospitals, places of worship and children, then yes, democracy is the solution.


Input: If democracy is just free elections, it is likely that the most fanatic regime will be elected, the one whose incitement and fabrications are the most inflammatory.


Input: We have seen it already in Algeria and, to a certain extent, in Turkey.

Algeria

Turkey


Input: It will happen again, if the ground is not prepared very carefully.


Input: On the other hand, a certain transition democracy, as in Jordan, may be a better temporary solution, paving the way for the real thing, perhaps in the same way that an immediate sudden democracy did not work in Russia and would not have worked in China.

Input: I have no doubt that the civilized world will prevail.


Input: But the longer it takes us to understand the new landscape of this war, the more costly and painful the victory will be.

Input: If the systematic slaughter of tens or hundreds of thousands of human beings doesn't represent a `` breakdown in morality,'' what does?

Input: Do we have to wait for some major offense, such as illicit sex in the oval office?

Input: I would go even further than this:


Input: `` war is the mobilization of immorality.''


Input: Would these apologists for such killings have been satisfied if the same deaths to the same innocents had been brought about by aerial bombs?


Input: I am reminded of a distinction one of my students tried making a few years ago in contrasting suicide bombers with militarily disciplined killing:

Input: Those who wave their flags, or emblazon their cars with `` support the troops'' messages, are as much to blame for this so - called `` breakdown in morality'' as anyone else.


Input: Out of a sense of moral decency, this weekend might be an appropriate occasion to remove such symbols from their cars, homes, and - better yet - their minds!

Input: Conversely, the CCP holds that `` The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.''

CCP


Input: In order to keep alive the `` struggles'' within society, hatred must be generated.


Input: Not only does the CCP take lives, it encourages people to kill each other.

CCP


Input: It strives to desensitize people towards others' suffering by surrounding them with constant killing.


Input: It wants them to become numb from frequent exposure to inhumane brutality, and develop the mentality that `` the best you can hope for is to avoid being persecuted.''


Input: All these lessons taught by brutal suppression enable the CCP to maintain its rule.

CCP


Input: In addition to the destruction of countless lives, the CCP also destroyed the soul of the Chinese people.

Chinese


Input: A great many people have become conditioned to react to the CCP's threats by entirely surrendering their reason and their principles.

Input: This probably severed the Chinese zeitgeist from its cultural and spiritual base.

Input: Yet again.


Input: `` A pattern rarely admitted by the West's institutional media.''

West


Input: Rarely admitted that we follow that pattern too.


Input: Its's always others elsewhere that do that evil stuff.


Input: There seems to be a trend of this sort.


Input: This guy -LRB- Macbeth, great name -RRB- and 911 show a similar pattern.

Input: Truth is soldiers do horrible things in war.


Input: things they would probably have never thought themselves capable of.


Input: Most western armies probably do try to moderate this, just for PR reasons and political ones.


Input: But I bet such concerns are far from the minds of military leaders who can not be bothered to equip or supply their own troops properly.


Input: If the army is disciplined and honourable it is designed to prevent such excesses, designed to produce fearsome perfect warriors who will kill you in a million different ways, but only if you are evil and fight them.

Input: Pity those armies only exist in niave children's imaginations, or fantasy novels set in mythical worlds.

Input: Let's go over this article slowly, shall we?


Input: First of all, every war has its share of atrocities and massacres, on both sides.

Input: Wait, that is a good definition of the American public in general --

Input: Except very few American citizens had the courage to stand and protest.

Input: And, you mean, the army is now trying to hide the horrible, horrible fact that dozens, maybe hundreds of civilians were murdered in cold blood by US soldiers?

dozens

hundreds

US


Input: And this is a conspiracy?


Input: Wake up, people!


Input: Ever since war exists -LRB- meaning: the dawn of time -RRB-, civilians have been brutalized, raped, tortured and murdered,


Input: and the higher - ups have covered this by saying drivel and b*llshit such as: `` We don't torture people in America.''

America


Input: -LRB- actual Presidential quote -RRB-.


Input: Please, people, there is no conspiracy here: just a bunch of morons, realizing they have unleashed horror on innocents and trying to cover their asses.


Input: Why do you think only lowly soldiers and no generals have been convicted?


Input: Because generals have the power, that's why!


Input: So, one soldier stood up and talked about some razed shithole in Iraq?

one


Input: Maybe he is going overboard and creating a fancy tale of horror?


Input: So what?


Input: That's not a cover - up, that's just some dumb -- and scarred for life -- white trash making shit up.


Input: Of course, the US military is going to jump at the chance to sweep the real skeletons under the carpet, so to speak.

US


Input: Business as usual, and war is good business.


Input: Nothing to see here, people, move along.


Input: This is the result of more than 60 years of military conditioning.

more than 60 years


Input: In WWII, most of the soldiers refused to shoot at people, and shot either in the air or -- at least -- above the heads of enemy soldiers.

Input: We're the bully in their yard,


Input: and might makes right in the doublespeak of the fascisti.


Input: `` Profits, not people,'' dude.


Input: In your little history lesson -LRB- why not go back to the Romans who slaughtered everyone in Carthage, or, for that matter, the Israelites in the OT, commanded by Yawheh to slaughter man, women, and child? -RRB-, you mention the bombing of Dresden.

Input: Obviously, the pilots didn't think too much about what was happening on the ground, or they would lose their minds -LRB- their souls had already been burned away, whether they knew it or not -RRB-.


Input: I'm sure there were GIs shooting innocents in WW2,


Input: but that kind of atrocity is not emblamatic of the war, in the way that napalm drops and tiger teams are emblamatic of Vietnam, and Fallujah and Abu Graib and Hadifa will be emblamatic of Iraq.

Input: Denying the effects of violent culture is denying the effects of operant conditioning.


Input: Yes, at the root of our monstrous age is the loss of any sense of the sacred, or, more specifically, the acute sense that humans are created in the image of God and that God is very much real and keeping notes,


Input: but surely one step towards rediscovering human dignity is acknowledging that culture matters.

Input: No one `` turns off the tv'' before first realizing that tv is unhealthy -LRB- Jerry Mander's book is brilliant in this regard -RRB-, just as no one will `` avert their eyes from the Imperium'' without realizing that Empire - worship is nothing but Moloch - worship.

Jerry Mander's


Input: Moloch?


Input: Indeed.


Input: As Mother Teresa put it, `` If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell people not to kill one another?

Mother Teresa


Input: Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants.''


Input: Ouch!


Input: Religiosity!


Input: But most certainly the U.S. is `` using any violence to get what it wants,'' and has been for a long time.

Input: The only ones who preceded him in this honor were men like Umar al - Mukhtar and Yusuf al - Azma, by whose struggle the nation and its history were honored, and kept it for them in the records of pride and dignity.

Umar al - Mukhtar

Yusuf al - Azma


Input: They hastily executed him because they feared him even when he was behind bars, just as they will still fear him as a corpse hidden under the soil of the homeland, and comparisons between his time and their bloody and chaotic time always came in his favor, and the calls for his return to save Iraq from its crisis and the corrupt and malicious gang that governs it have become deafening to the ears of the occupation and its accomplices.

Iraq


Input: He embarrassed them and dwarfed them by standing as a spear in the prisoner's dock.


Input: They were terrified by the penetrating looks of his eyes.


Input: They were exposed by his patriotism and Arabism and his contempt for the odious sectarian divisions that they planted in their contaminated new Iraq.

Input: He was right when he turned to them and said, " Are these your men? " when they were directing insults at him while he was proceeding to the gallows in magnanimity and with self - respect, repeating the noble words, " and when the ignorant address them they say' peace.' "


Input: Is it manliness to shout hateful sectarian slogans in front of a man who has never been sectarian, and the rope of the gallows is being wound around his neck, and his soul will go to its Creator in a few seconds?


Input: Are these the tolerant ethics of Islam?

Islam


Input: Are these the values of Arabism, decency, and pride?

Input: Are those the sons of the great Iraq which had always stood up against invaders throughout history and was a pillar of support for its nation and the causes of justice in the world as a whole?

Input: We are sorry, but not surprised, because some Arab governments objected only because the execution took place on the day of the feast of Bairam, as if the execution of this man would have been permissible and blessed on any other day.

Input: Why the mask, and why the pills?


Input: The mask is for traitors and criminals who are ashamed of their treason or their crimes, and the tranquilizing pills are appropriate for those who can not face history because of their bad deeds.


Input: The American administration committed a fatal mistake and revealed a major foolishness to be added to its many foolishnesses in Iraq when it executed this man, in a way for which it will pay a hefty price in the near future.

Input: His survival would have benefited it much more than his execution if they understood politics as they should, because his survival could have been a card to threaten the sectarians and keep them as servants to them and their schemes, just as it could have been a bargaining chip for calming down the resistance and the broad Iraqi sector which supports it.

Input: But they do not know anything except grudges, and they do not want anything other than inflicting more degradation on the Arabs and Muslims by his execution.

Input: Those who carried out the death sentence do not want reconciliation or to maintain a unified Iraq.

Iraq


Input: Rather, they are working to blow it up; tolerance, forgiveness, and patience are basic characteristics not found in those people.


Input: Saddam had negative traits and positive traits, but he was not killed because of his negative traits, but rather because of his positive traits, which were his belief in Arab unity, resistance to the enemies of the nation, building an unprecedented industrial and educational foundation, and challenging America.
