POPS Now Pakistan - Sequential Destruction of Muslim Nations

by JackieDel 10-21-2009

Many Western policymakers rarely see Muslim nations, including allies, with any inherent respect. Vice President Dick Cheney described the Muslim world as "brute and nasty." Obama advisers, though more guarded in their word choices, see Muslim nations no differently. The idea that Islam is inherently violent, openly expressed during the Bush administration, continues to animate foreign policy. The White House holds a new President but Congressional leadership and Washington policymakers are more or less the same. Anti-Islamic policies of warfare and destabilization are intact.

POPS Waziristan Displaced Crave for Help

"“Everyone was running from here to there to get transport. Through there were a few vehicles owned by local people they were useless because of the curfew as all main roads are closed for traffic,” he added. “All had to travel on feet to reach here, with women carrying their kids and men carrying their belongings on their heads and shoulders.” Khan said the journey was difficult. “We would rest for a few minutes after every two to three hours as we could not risk our lives due to the bombings and artillery shelling.” The UN Higher Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) says that around 250,000 out of South Waziristan’s total population of 800,000 left. However, independent sources believe 60 percent of the populace has been displaced in the new operation."

POPS Iraq Vet: "How Many Nine-year Old Boys Have You Held in Your Arms, Crying for Their Father?"

by JackieDel 5-29-2009

How to create a terrorist: The terrible and tragic tale which begins in Vietnam and ends in Iraq. An Iraqi boy and his father were driving home in their pick-up after a days work harvesting watermelons. When US soldiers at a checkpoint ordered them to stop they didn't, so the soldiers machine- gunned the vehicle, killing the father and leaving his distraught son, who survived, to be "taken away" by the soldiers. It turned out that the truck couldn't stop because the brakes were faulty. Perhaps their day harvesting melons was to earn enough to get the brakes fixed? "That was over five years ago, making him a teenager by now. Maybe he will be driving a white Toyota pickup truck tomorrow, approaching a collation check point somewhere in Iraq. And I can damn sure bet you that he won’t be hauling watermelons."
