America is self-destructing & bringing the rest of the world down with it
by Tanya Cariina Hsu
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. (Thomas Jefferson, US President; 1743 - 1826)
America is dying. It is self-destructing and bringing the rest of the world down with it.
Often referred to as a [...]
Palestinian residents of the Al-Mazraa ash Sharqiya village dismantle roadblock as symbol of resistance:
Early in the morning, between 5 and 6am, a wave of footsteps and whispering voices can be heard in the narrow alleys of Bourj ash-Shamali Refugee Camp [Sabbah: Palestinian Refugee Camp] in South Lebanon. It is in the darkness of the early morning hours that hundreds of Palestinian day laborers leave their homes, gather in [...]
Gen. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for president yesterday and slammed McCain’s smear campaign of Obama as some kind of secret Muslim terrorist sympathizer (see video). Powell talked about a Muslim-American soldier killed in the Iraq war. Kareem Khan was only 20 when he was killed by a bomb in Baquba-Iraq last year with only [...]
With all my personal reservation over Gen. Colin Powell’s history and relation to Middle East wars and suffering; his recent stand against his party’s racism is brave.

I can’t tell you how much happy I am after reading the following email, which I got from a dear American friend. It reassures me that I’m doing the right thing:
My Dearest Haitham,
I remember almost three years ago when I first emailed you, I asked you what your opinion on the Palestinian issue was. What [...]
…and this could go on indefinitely.
Until further notice, if you need to reach me you can always send an email or contact me using the blog contact form.
Medicine goes beyond political boundaries. At least this is what the International and Israeli media claims when it comes to Iran and an Iranian boy suffering from brain cancer seeking treatment in Israel and got approval to undergo surgery there.
That’s great! By all means this makes everyone feel happy because at the end we are [...]

Even as the Burj Dubai, touted to become the world’s tallest building nears completion, plans have been announced for a new kilometre-high tower in Dubai - UAE. The project, inspired by Islamic design and geometry, will be located at the upcoming New Dubai development area near Jebel Ali.
