Yes, I certainly do believe that the Israelis would be happy to help the Palestinians to build a mutually beneficial environment. This is simply what is defined as "enlightened self-interest" and is also known as a "Win/Win" mentality. Unfortunately, I honestly do not believe that the Arabs have evolved to this yet....

No, illegitimacy started going up as Blacks became enmeshed in the Welfare system. That's the enormous elephant in the room he is studiously refusing to address. I'm a Black woman. I simply cannot believe that the main problems confronting Blacks today is the apparently very long acting "post traumatic stress...

Unfortunately, you're out of date. The great days of whites taking so much from granted are now defunct as the white middle class is now slipping down to join blacks and poor whites. As I've said so often in previous e-mails, the U.S.A. is quickly losing its hallowed economic dominance. Nobody knows what the future...

Dear Fred: Capital formation is very important for black peeople.Has President Bush promoted his Social Security plan as a way for black families to begin estate planning, capital formation, and the sorts of financial activities that white folks take for granted? Bush's idea for personal retirement accounts will help...

A Creed To Live By Don’t undermine your worth With comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different That each of us is special. Don’t set goals by what others deem important, Only YOU know what is best for you. Don’t take granted the things closest to your heart, Cling to them as you would to your life,...

For some reason, you seem to think that I'm unaware of U.S. and British crimes in the middle east and that I approve of them. Isn't this what I've been saying all along? However, what I will say is this: throughout history, every great power has inflicted misery upon weaker nations. The Romans, Ottoman Turks, Belgium,...

Thank you for the email today, it was interesting. I'm not upset about any articles you care to send me. I think it's important to hear many different views and opinions other than my own. That's how we learn and grow as people. I am curious however, as to your position on my country and it's policies, at home and...

I don't believe a person can understand the world without a bit of smarts about economics. The dollar has fallen because George Bush has (1) given a huge tax refund to the rich and (2) has built up a huge federal deficit in the U.S. Of course the 200 billion already spent on Iraq with no end in sight is a large part...

I don't think I can possibly remember all the books I've read so I'll start with a few that are very good. Unfortunately, I can't recall some of the authors. "The Prize" by Daniel Yergin is a must read because it spells out how middle east oil became so important to the west. "Stalin, The court of the Red Tsar" tells...

I agree with many of your criticisms of this book. Clearly, it has some anti-arab biases. However, let me hasten to remind you that whenI asked why you insisted that Iranians are not Arabs, you made many of the same points that Leon Uris did!! Beyond this, I would point to the fact that much of the Arab world is still...

My friend: You make me laugh with your statement "be calm." I had to chuckle a little when I read that. Do I seem to behave irrational to you? Okay, I may be strongly opinionated on some issues, but you are my friend, it's never meant against you or your ideas or opinions. Your statement made me smile. Well, what can...

Hussein:Your comments are totally correct, each and every word. As I've said previously, The Israelis are far from innocent in this conflict. When Jewish people from Russia, Poland etc. rushed to Palestine, they did so as if there were no Arabs already living there. And when the 1948 war broke out, the evicted some...

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or Arab-Israeli conflict, or whatever name it goes by, is perhaps one of the more sensitive issues that is discussed. From the historic British dominance in the Middle East, and the more recent US influence and control over the region, the Anglo-American goal is simply to be able to...

The Men That Don't Fit In There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain's crest; Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood, And they don't know how...

Freedom poem by Ron Carnell I was fifteen when Grandfather died, his twisted body vanquished by too many years, his mind confused by too many diluted memories, his spirit still as strong and indomitable as the day he first killed another man to protect the life he loved. It was hard for me to see the war hero he had...
