=&values[1]=2287] Words Of Wisdom For President G.W. Bush Sam Hamod, Ph.D. March 3, 2005
Mr. President, if I may paraphrase General Eisenhower when speaking about Korea, he said, “I'm going to bring our troops home-now.” And he did. You should do the same in Iraq before more get killed, maimed or mentally disturbed. The only way you can conquer Iraq, as I said back when the war started, was to kill all Iraqis. Unfortunately, you and General Abizaid and the insane General Mattis, are (…)

No Trust Left, In America Or In The World, For The Bush Administration Sam Hamod, PhD March 06, 2005 Princeton, NJ
The lies being told by the Bush administration to the American people about Social Security, about our “success” in Iraq, about the causes of attacks on our country and now the attempted killing of the Italian journalist, Ms. Guilana Sgrena, have become too much for anyone to believe. No intelligent American or foreigner believes anything emanating (…)

33 Things You Should Know About the Middle East and America

2005-03-04T05:01:04Z

Some Thoughts on the Middle East and America: 33 Things You Should Think About
What right has President Bush or Conde Rice to dictate to the Lebanese Government?
Why is it that the “demonstrators” in Beirut, Lebanon, had all their signs in English?
Have you considered that they were playing to the American TV audience? In fact, the “big crowds” the American media spoke about were less than 3000 people, but the cameras shot the crowed for maximum effect.
Did you realize that according (…)

This is a Massacre, Not a War in Iraq

2004-10-19T01:34:12Z

By Sam Hamod
This is a massacre, not a war in Iraq. The U.S. bombing Samarra, Fallujah, Baghdad and other cities, killing hundreds of civilians and calling them terrorists is like the massacres of the Native Americans during America's push westward.
In this case, it has to do with America's push eastward.
What is also troubling is that no major media outlet, no major politician—none are callig this what it is, an immoral, unmitigated killing of hundreds of Iraqi civilians every week. (…)

Let Bush and Kerry Lead With their Children Into Iraq and Afghanistan

Let Bush and Kerry Lead With their Children Into Iraq and Afghanistan
By Sam Hamod
It is clear that if Bush really believes in sacrifice for Iraq and Afghanistan, he should send Barbara to Iraq as a U.S. Army soldier and Jenna to Afghanistan as a soldier; in this way, he'll show that he really believes in these two wars he's put our young men and women into. If Kerry wants to lead, he should do the same; as should Edwards. Otherwise, they must capitulate and say publicly that Nader, (…)

How the Iraqis See It

2004-07-11T19:01:11Z

by Sam Hamod
I think it's about time that someone told the American people how the Iraqis see it. I am not talking about the puppet regime installed by Bush, that was opposed, and is still opposed by the Iraqi people, Brahimi and the experts at the UN and in the US State Department, but about the vast majority of non-Kurd Iraqis (over 90% of the country).
The American troops are colonial occupiers, similar to the old British colonialists who tried to run Iraq in the past. They feel our (…)
