We have all read and heard about the roadmap to peace, a plan that George W said was going to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The roadmap was given to the Arabs after the fall of Iraq. Now, the roadmap to peace seems to have turned into a roadmap to hell. Hammas is on the loose again and Israel is hitting twice as hard.
This is a discussion. But feel free to vote on your thoughts about this George Buash map.
Was the roadmap a mere gimmick to hoodwink Arabs? Was the roadmap slanted to favor Israel? Whose fault is it the the roadmap is failing?

When a reckless head of state brutally attacks another country, he has to fabricate a justification. It is in that light that we must see this so-called roadmap to peace. Bush and Ariel Sharon are running the same zionist policy, which seeks to exterminate all Arabs, especially the Palestinians.

Now the Bush-Sharon coup in Palestine has failed. Facing a certain vote of no confidence, Mahmud Abbas, the puppet Prime Minister of Palestine has resigned and the true leader of the Palestinians, Yesir Arafat, has accepted his resignation. Who is fooling whom? You cannot make peace with a puppet. You make peace with your enemy.

You're right about Mahmud Abbas. It's similar to attempts by a well-known moron, olusegun obasanjo, trying to select Wabara Iwuanyanwu orji kanu Double agent diogu kanu of WIC Corrupt ngige Incompetent achike of Owerri ojo maduekwe, to represent the Igbo. Just like Mahmud Abbas, these people have no weight in Biafra/Igboland. By working with the fool to further destabilize the Igbo nation, they have already earned their place in the Igbo Hall of Shame, along with all those who sold out to the enemy, olusegun obasanjo. In time, they'll meet the same fate as the incompetent Yoruba president of nigeria.
Arafat is the true Palestinian leader; Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the commander-in-Chief of the Biafran Armed forces, is the only trusted Igbo to negotiate on behalf of Igbo/Biafra with the nigerians.

We should all have known that Bush had no plans for peace in the Middle East. What we have now is a roadmap to pieces, and both the Israelis and the Palestineans are following that map as they blow each other to hell.

What really is your beef with Bush,Isreal and the Arabs ? Have you no worries as an African ( I am assuming you are) that you should make the Arab struggle your daily pursuit ? Is your country BiafraNigeria treating all it's cititzens as well as you would want Isreal and Bush to treat the middle easterners ?
Daud, how about championing the cause of your fellow Africans in South Sudan ? The condition the Arabs and islamist have reduced them to is not any better than what is happening in the middle east. Is there any difference between you and the incompetent Aremu that likes to see the trouble in distant lands while his backyard is on fire ?

The problem now is Yasser Arafat has more blood on his hands as the pace of terrorism continues unabated in the Middle-East, particularly when he refuses to stop these deadly militants from destroying innocent lives. Apparently, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is equal to the task, and he is the best Israel has now to handle the very fragile situations in the Middle East.
For sure, Arafat has failed in all negotiations that would have amounted to a resolution in the ongoing Middle East crisis, starting from the Oslo Accords where he declined to respect its resolutions. But Sharon and the Israelis must act fast--taking Arafat away and have him live in exile--to bring back peace to the Middle East, and starting all over again with a clean slate as another begining in Palestinian statehood.

Personally, I think there will NEVER be peace in the Middle East. It does not matter the amount of concessions that Israel is forced to make----the enmity that surrounds that country is deeply entrenched and multiplied over thousands of years as it passed down the generations. Palestinian statehood is not going to end the clashes and bloodshed either. Therefore, I am not in the least bit surprised that the "Roadmap to Peace" has become a "Highway to Hell".
As long as Israel continues to exist in the Middle East, there will ALWAYS be some sort of conflict between Israel and her Arab neighbors. So, it is quite immaterial whether the U.S has a republican, a democrat or an independent president trying to fix the mess there. Successive US governments can only be judged by how successful their policies helped to stem the tide or frequency of suicide bombings and the consequent disproportionately harsher Israeli retaliatory strikes.
I am quite aware that I have been decidedly over-simplistic with my assessment, but suffice it to say that I am yet capable of modifying my views. Until, I see or hear concrete actions taken by Palestinians, other surrounding Arab countries, Israel and the U.S towards resolving this long-standing conflict, I think I can afford to be relatively impervious to the drama unfolding on the global stage as pertains this Middle East issue.
And so, the struggle continues—in spite of "ROADMAPS to peace" or notwithstanding!

I am not sure if you know exactly what you are talking about when you say "Yasser Arafat has more blood on his hands as the pace of terrorism continues unabated in the Middle East..."
It is easy for you to blame Arafat for everything, from the failed Oslo Accords to series of suicide bombings. But ask yourself one question. Has Sharon blood on his hands?

That bombing in Haifa, Israel, on the eve of Judaism's holiest day is a cause for Israeli tough action against Yasser Arafat who by all indications is a sponsor of terrorism and must be removed. The back-to-back suicide bombing in just four weeks is an incident Ariel Sharon and his cabinet cannot ignore and should make good on its threat to expel Arafat or kill him. I believe it is the only way peace can be achieved in the Middle East, for now.
Also, that swift retaliation in Damascus was a good move to check terrorist cells. And deepening Arafats isolation in his Ramallah compound does not sound like a good option. He must be expelled.
Of course, Ariel Sharon has blood on his hands. But mind you, the issue now is terrorism and numerous cases of suicide bombings all around the globe, especially in the Middle East; and particularly the devastating suicide bombing in Haifa, Israel, last week which killed 19 people and about 50 wounded, nine of the wounded seriously hurt.
No question, Yasser Arafat cannot claim not to know about terrorist bombings in the Middle East, Israel to be precise.
On Israel's target of the air assault on the alleged terrorist training base near Damascus, Israel's first attack on Syria in 30 years, has the justification and reasoning that military force is the only thing that can dissuade Syrian and other Middle Eastern countries support for Islamic Jihad thereby protecting Israeli citizens and the world in general.
I support more military strikes on any Arab nation as long as they refuse to turn in potential terrorists and close down facilities used by Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and other militant groups the world over. And I do blame Arafat for all the problems in the Middle East, and I also do support his removal for the obvious. He is an obstacle to peace. He's been playing double standards by condenming terror and initiating it at the same time. Does that make sense?
What sense does it really make when Islamic Jihad dispatched a 29-year-old woman lawyer to perpetrate the bombing at the seaside Maxim Restaurant in Haifa? And as long as these Jihadists continue to terrorize the people of Israel, Israel must be prepared to strike whenever and wherever it sees fit.
So too, is the case of Biafranigeria. Igbos must be prepared to return fire for fire whenever the bloodthirsty Sharia attacks them. Igbos must be prepared to shoot any potential Islamic Jihadist in that forbidden land. As it has been, we cannot be doves anymore. We've had enough and tough decisions like this is in order.

I really do not have the desire to start trading unnecessary jabs with an Islamic fundamentalist like you whose only option in the Middle East crises is to destroy the State of Israel by way of terrorism. I am sure the recent terrorist attack is your way of settlement. Right?
Despite the superb platform given for the emergence of the roadmap, with Israelis backing it and Ariel Sharon bowing to international reality, your band of terrorists have not stopped their acts of mayhem spearheaded by Yasser Arafat from behind the scenes. The roadmap offered a settlement deal, but Arafat being bloodthirsty reneged.
Perhaps you find it funny when 814 people have died as a result of Palestinian terrorism since the start of the current intifada. The bottomline: Inasmuch as Arafat refuses to control and stop Hamas and other terrosrist cells in and around the Middle East, the roadmap as a plan for peace in the Middle East will never arrive.
Shaga:
Tell your people to stop terrorism and give peace a chance.
Where did you get the statistics that "814 people have died as a result of Palestinian terrorism since the start of the current intifada?"
Well, I have some news for you. Do you remember the phase supposed to see the dismantling of the hilltop settlements, so called "illegal outpost settlements" of 200,000 Jewish settlers on the West Bank and Gaza and yet nothing was done about it? Do you remember the phase of transition on the "option of creating an independent Palestinian state" with provisional borders and attributes of sovereignty? How would you feel about children who see their parents beaten and humiliated in the middle of the night? How would you feel about life on the brink of starvation, and about a demolished home?

At least four people have been reported dead when a car bomb exploded in Falluja, west of Baghdad some hours ago. Yesterday nearly thirty-five people died in a bomb blast. Now that's Ugali Shaga's roadmap to peace in the Middle East.
According to Rick "you make me laugh" when you have little Bush on your side who has taken up a whole country. If that's not gangsterism, what else is? Take a look once more at a dummy who's got no clue what the hell he is doing ruining the world.

On the question of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction (WMD), one of the several justifications offered for military action, the returns are now coming in. Over the past decade, the Security Council of the United Nations, supported by the intelligence services of all the major nations, said he had WMDs.
Some analyst went as far as saying maybe he destroyed them but refused to say so, maybe they are still hidden and will yet be found. More troubling, maybe all the intelligence services were wrong. Now who would argue Saddam had no WMDs and that it is now imminent to level Baghdad with Saddam's latest missile attack.
Shaga, what explains the latest situation in Iraq the last few days? Over to you!

-------------Ojoto
Of course, you are right "the returns are now coming in" when "over 1,500 violent civilian deaths" is in the books in occupied Iraq and a minimum of 7,792 civilian deaths reported since the House of Bush took up on a whole country.

What is going on in Iraq right now is called sacrifice in order to achieve peace, stability and a democratic fabric in what had been Saddam Husseine's empire and anarchy. Military power has to be used to break a dangerous and brutal regime.
So if you think the recent deadly missile attacks and ongoing terrorist activities will make US balk, you are dead wrong. US is focused and committed on a better Iraq which is why Congress approved an $87.5-billion aid package for Iraq and other rogue states. According to Bush "America will never run," no matter the consequences. It should also be emphasized that a rebuilt and democratic reformed Iraq would pay off. To take but one instance, Japan.
Also, America the beautiful believes in HUMANITY.Posts: 479 | From: The Universe | Registered: Jul 2001
