Did this plan go on the wayside somewhere in Lebanon?

Suleyman posted: ................Stacy Bannerman and Sue Niederer brought two pairs of empty boots to the House hearing chaired by Conn. Rep. Christopher Shays -- strangely titled "the Evolving Strategy for Success in Iraq" A report from the GAO Controller Walker reported that the administration has been unwilling to estimate the future costs of the war, now running about 3 billion a week. He was criticized by Republicans for being negative. Rep. Dennis Kucinich passionately stated that US continues to make more enemies everyday. When a Democratic Congressperson asked incredulously how the Administration continues to reward contracts to companies who fail to provides services and are blatantly corrupt, Stacy and Sue were severely admonished for applauding. They did, however, escape arrest. Georgia and Celeste were not permitted into the hearing because they carried the pictures of Sue's son Seth and Celeste's son Sherwood, No dead soldier pictures were permitted in the hearings on success in Iraq...............
Women who had lost their loved ones in Chile during the Pinochet regime would dance publically with photographs of their husbands, sons, fathers pined to their dresses. No other form of protest was allowed them on threat of arrest and incarceration.
They Dance Alone (Cueca Sola) Why are these women here dancing on their own? Why is there this sadness in their eyes? Why are the soldiers here Their faces fixed like stone? I can't see what it is that they despise. They're dancing with the missing, Dancing with the dead. They dance with the invisible ones, Their anguish left unsaid. They're dancing with their fathers, Dancing with their sons, They're dancing with their husbands. They dance alone. They dance alone. It's the only form of protest they're allowed. I've seen their silent faces, they scream so loud. If they were to speak these words They'd go missing too. Another woman in the torture table. What else can they do? One day we'll dance on their graves. One day we'll sing our freedom. One day we'll laugh in our joy. And we'll dance. Spoken: Ellas dansan por los desaparecidos Dansan por sus muertos Dansan por sus amores invisibles Dansan con silencio angusto Dansan con sus padres Dansan por sus esposos Ellas dansan solas Dansan solas Hey Mr. Pinochet: You've sown a bitter crop. It's foreign money that supports you. One day the money's going to stop. No wages for your torturers. No budget for your guns. Can you think of your own mother, Dancing with her invisible son? They're dancing with the missing, Dancing with the dead, They dance with the invisible ones, They're anger left unsaid. Dancing with their fathers, Dancing with their sons, Dancing with their husbands. They dance alone. They dance alone. From: Nothing Like the Sun, Sting, 1987

Angel, no, I am sorry but I do not feel that I owe an apology to anyone unless you count the one that I have just posted to you elsewhere. The original post by Whisper was written in good faith, Amalhayati's comments were SNIPES. Her paranoid comments about attracting undue attentions annoyed me, and I wrote what I thought. Perhaps I could have been a little more subtle about it, but the end result would have been the same. I did not see Amalhayati disagreeing with anything we have written about the plan. I saw her taking pot shots at those participating, calling them "spies", insinuating words about "supporting the terrorists", etc., (where is the logic in this, please? We are working for PEACE. That's the irony of all of this. How could that possibly threaten Islamicity's existence or reputation) and so on. I responded perhaps too quickly, but no, other than that I stand by what I said. If the Moderators request it, I will apologise in a very carefully thought out PM. I feel that this is developing into a certain tension between you and I, and I would like us to put a stop to it right now, if you don't mind. Please, do not tell me to "calm down". As I said elsewhere, I would far rather than we remain friends. Cassandra |

Asalaamu alaikum: Some quotes on fear: Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less~~Marie Curie "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." ~~~Franklin D Roosevelt Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. ~~Bertrand Russell It is fine to fear, I once had the same fears you expressed. But to give into them means you are already defeated, what is the purpose of being A Muslim if you can not attempt to effect change? George W Bush HAS NO influence here.Like it has been quoted before, Each Journey starts with a small first step. Edited by Maryah |

We need a new name. I don't feel comfortable with it called the Angela Plan with all these people involved. A man of great integrity has offered to pay the fee for a domain name on an independent site. I think the sarcasm was missed on the MSN group name and I know there are concerns about it being at the Pond. (Though, I thank Colin and his partner for the space to get things started.) So, Give us suggestions for a new name. I want it to NOT sound like something Bush would use (hence the sarcasm in Project Iraqi Hope) and I want it to be something that is going to be attractive to the leaders we are trying to target. So, what do we want to call this plan???? |
