Yus

I would say Amen to your final analysis. Both sides MUST and I repeat MUST make compromises to attain this much needed peace. Why should we all suffer for their arrogance
and the lack of justice on this side here in the US and UN for we( the common folk African students, all hard working immigrants , law abiding muslims of all races) are the real victims.

Yes we are the real victims because the rich folks and top guns  do not feel the problems we  the common people  go through at security points in airports, immigration raids on foreign students who just want a descent living and pay for school tuition, false alarms and bomb threats that disrupt our normal office lives of hard working citizens , countless traffic diversions due to so called suspected terrorists tips that all turn out to be negative plus many more that I need not go through.    

September  11  2001 was a core result of this crap & injustice that has been going on for so long. If it was resolved way back we would not be going through all this security and terrorism s**t excuses the US is using for doing it's intended  covert operations to suppress the muslims these days now that the soviet union is dead per say (  well China has just woken up,  America watch out !!! - the muslims you fear may be far safer than the new Red China )  

On a final note we must pray always  for God to soften the hearts of these two  mentally deprived leaders ( Sharon and Arafat)  to put some sense into their sick brains so we can all have some peace. It is about time. Enough is enough

Are you coming to DC for the ALD celebrations. I was honored to be an invited  patron for the events which I recommend we all try to make . I met a lot of Gambians in Kansas City this past weekend.,some I had not seen since they were babies back home.

On this particular issue it is Shalom , Bye and Salaam alaikum.
