After looking at the gruesome pic of the beheaded victim,I'm more than now convinced that America needs regime change which will in turn change foreign policy in America. There is no doubt that the war in Iraq has increased terrorism in the world.

Did you see the pic. You don't want to see it. I just surfed into it by accident. You may wish to see it at your own risk at gamji web page on the right hand side of your screen.

Do you believe that after the so called regime change Al Qaeda will stop terrorism ? Even if Kerry wins and pulls out of the Iraq are you confident Usama and co. will give up terrorism ? They were no troops in Iraq before 9/11.

Chiboy:

The first step in this matter is for the beligerent forces to pull out of Iraq, and stop trying to take over a whole country's resources under any pretences. Simply leave the country alone.
If after that the Islamic fundamentalist jihadists strike anywhere again, including victimizing Biafrans once more, I say nuke them. Obviously, they can't be that useful to humanity.

Like the last poster indicated, a complete pull out of Iraq is the starting point. Then, let Palestinians have a home.

RICK, PULLING OUT OF IRAQ AND GRANTING A PALESTINIAN STATE CAN-NOT STOP THE ISLAMIC EXTREMISM. HISTORY IS THERE FOR US TO JUDGE FROM.
LETING LOOSE IRAQ AND SOME OF ARAB STATES WOULD ONLY CREATE A SAFE HAVEN FOR TERRORISTS TO OPERATE. THE HATRED IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN RELIGION AND NOT IN POLICIES OR THE U.S SECURIY MEASURES.
THAT THE U.S PULLS ITS TROOPS OUT OF ALL ARAB NATIONS CAN NOT MAKE THE COMMON MUSLIM ON THE STREET SEE THE U.S AS ANY THING LESS THAN THE "ENEMY OF ALLAH". THAT JEWS CONFINES THEMSELVES TO ISREAL ALONE CANNOT MAKE THE PALESTINIAN DRINK WITH THE SAME CUP WITH A JEW.
HISTORY IS THERE FOR US TO LEARN FROM. ARABS NEED TO BE ON CHECK, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY (THIS IS THE TRUTH), OR ELSE, ANOTHER NEBUCHADNEZAR SHALL ARISE TO FORCE ME AND YOU TO BOW TO MUHAMMED (BECOME MUSLIMS).
LET US FACE FACTS. I'M NOT ON THE U.S's SIDE NOR ON THE EXTREMIST's SIDE, I'M SAYING WHAT I SEE AS THE TRUTH. MAY PEACE BE UPON EARTH. AMEN.

KACY:

I'm sure you understand that the evils of Islam is not the main driver for the military action underway in Iraq. Were it to be the case, you will agree with me that, by now, those islamic terrorists flagging the bloodthirsty ideology of mohammed, who have since the '40s targetted Biafrans and attempted to "deep the koran in the Atlantic", would have learned to fear the US, after Biafrans had taught them - during the war - the futility of yelling "allah akbar" on nigerian streets while killing Biafrans, who are only trying to increase the quality of life of the moslem.

But we all know what britain and others did during that war, and why they did it. It's all about seizing and controlling the oil wells of Iraq in a neo-colonial fashion. This is why there is stiff opposition from people who really resent the violent and discredited islamic faith.

When the concern shifts strictly to the question of islamic or mohammedan terrorism, those bloodsucking jihadists will learn quickly how to join modern human civilization.

"But we all know what britain and others did during that war, and why they did it. It's all about seizing and controlling the oil wells of Iraq in a neo-colonial fashion.---Amadi O.
--------------------------

What else can I say.
Its only Igbos who do not know their history that will take side with the so-called christian west in their oil-grab in Iraq. Its more unfortunate when people who ought to know better close their minds and eyes simply beacause the Iraqis happen to have a different faith.

While some of these folks shout religion day in and day out, I may broaden the debate by letting them know that the money stollen from Nigeria by the mostly non-christian past and present corrupt head of states are either in Swiss, German, British, American, Spanish and other western countries and banks. If the leaders of these countries (western countries) think in the narrow christian/muslim line that the religious biggots think, then they wouldn't have accepted nor bank the money for those criminals.

I say this and I want to be quoted: despite the postulation by the west, every indication is that should a civil war break out in Nigeria between the christain south and the muslim north again, you can be sure that the west will still back the muslim north against us as they did during the last civil war.

Any good follower of international politics will agree with me that religion perse has NEVER and will never determine where the west send its tanks. What has and will continue to determine it is ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC INTEREST/S.
It is for this reason that you always see the Yoruba Ape hand-in-hand with the Bushes of the west.

By the way, was it not the American government that was first to recognise Obasanjo's stolen "mandate"?

- Was it not the christian west that looked the other way (its on record that the governments of Reagan and Magaret Tatcher ACTIVELY supported Apatheid South Africa) while 'christian' Mandela was languishing in jail in South Africa?

- Was it not the same christian west that turned a blind eye while millions of 'christian' Rwandans were being murdered in Rwanda?

George Bush's religious sing-song for being the reason for invading Iraq will only make sense to those that left their history books behind when they crossed the Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean as the case may be.

Coming to the issue of regime change, the first thing that a regime change in the U.S. will do to the America's international image is that it will send a message to the world that Americans dont accept nor condone Bush Administration's DOCUMENTED LIES and HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES-- non-existened WMD, that Saddam Hussein collaborating with Al Qeada, prisoners abuse in Iraq, etc, etc.

Even if Kerry or whoever that finally succeeds Bush decides to continue with Bush's hardline policy (I doubt he will), the person will have the grace of starting from an UNTAINTED platform. It will also make America's old allies like France, Germany and Russia for instance change their attitude towards the U.S..
This will be a departure from the DOMINATOR and go-it-alone cowboy that the governments and people of these countries view Bush and his administration now.

Infact, for the U.S to regain her much-cherished moral leadership around the world, Bush must give way for someone else to come in.

It's illogical to drag Biafra into Bush's mess in Iraq, the wishfull thinking of some Biafrans that by supporting the blood letting in Iraq, that one day, the Americans may support our right of self determination; the people with this mindset has to go back to the basics and understand that what is going on in Iraq today is a result of what has been American/western economic policy towards the third world,Bush is doing the bidding of America, the melting point is petro-dollar, for the West $ is only thing that matter, the agenda is been pursued to a logical end, maybe a regime change can give it a human face (if there is any), my concern only goes to the innocent people been massacared in Iraq, it's ironical that the champions of human right has become the greatest violator of the same but serves well for a leader that is exposing to the world the other side of the coin that had been shamlessly hiddin for a very long time.

Americans and the British can never let go until the oil well are dried. the West is not interested in Biafra, not because they do not understand the hopeless situation of Biafrans in Nigeria, rather, they encourage nigeria who is always ready to collabrate in the stranglation of Biafra and Biafrans in other to always keep us on check.
The survival of we Biafrans is pegged only on our own analitical powres and good calculations to capture and change situation to our favour, this can be done if this massive campaign complemented with unity, forsight and cohesion; the prerequisite to reasonable actions have to start with stopping all infightings and power tastiness, steps be taken to capture the right moment, suspend and strike and take our destiny on our own hands;Mandela's style remains our best option.

On the other hand, we should not confuse issues by comparing what Bush is doing in Iraq with the Israeli and Palestinian problem, remove Chairman Arafat, Israel is ready to make peace with Palestine, even more ready to help them rebuild their homeland and co-exist with them, if terrorism is removed, Israel has demonstrated that it's a genuine democracy, that it's capable of electing peace makers like it's past PM before Sharon who went ahead every odd and offered Palestine almost all their demands before Arafat proved to the world that he is not a man of peace.

It is equally illogical to drag Biafra into the third world and into some anti American solidarity especially when the Arabs whom you are sticking your head out for are the ones that invited them in the first place. If I recall this all started with Kuwait a third world Arab nation and Saudi Arabia another third world nation inviting the US to guard them against Saddam. I do not think they did not expect America will seek to get paid for it's services. It is naive to think there is any such thing as third world solidarity.

Any sensible person knows that the idea of invading Iraq was not a well thought out one, but if those who it should hurt most are not screaming bloody murder where is your beef in the whole matter? Egypt, Saudi, Morrocco and virtually all the gulf states remain stronger allies of the US than any third world black African nation so what is in it for you ? It is not about liking or hating Bush but building your case to solve YOUR OWN problem, all Americans don't like Bush but they mostly like America.

When did the focus change from Biafra to the third world or are we now to free the whole world before making the Biafran case. Poland , Czech Republic, Korea, Japan, El Salvador etc. that all have troops in there surely are not looking for America to bail them out and they are not any less proud nations, but they understand that international politics dictates that you look out for your self interest.

If it suits Nigeria they will voice support for any thing America does just to maintain their so called unity , how desperate are you for Biafran independence ? The Yoruba Pan Africanist saw nothing wrong in inviting the Russians and British into the Biafran war to maintain Nigeria's unity, I wonder if some of you would have been so disposed to seek the same help for Biafra against Pan African dictates.

If anyone has not understood how America as a nation functions yet they need not jeopardize the whole quest for Biafra with their ignorance. Like it or hate it as the world stands now there is nothing you can achieve without American support and that should dictate your foreign policy views.

Hard we might try to believe that the freedom of Biafra depends on how much praise we give to George Bush on what he is doing in Iraq, we most as well know that Gorge Bush will be ready to return Saddam Husein to power than give freedom to the Kurds of the northern front; like i said before, American foreign policy is based on the evil they know, Obasanjo and Nigeria serves them better.

Supporting America on it's unjust war will not give us Biafra; those mentioned countries can only confirm that the war has no religious bearing even when religious bigots were not ruled out of taking the chance that well presented itself.

On the struggle to achieve Biafra, our strategies should include dictating the enemies manipulations and always keep it exposed, there are variables that consist the elements of the enemy manipulation, religion is on that forefront and was also well used during the Biafran/Nigeria war, the West, and Americans to be specific are not interested in our religion, the fact is that they have little or no respect to our Christianity and that's why when the alamajeris were used to reign violence on NdiIgbo in the name of 911, the American embassy in Abuja was the first to react and render the issue to a tribal and local problem, while Ndigbo was only massacred to avenge American bombardment of Afghanistan.

My take is that when Nelson Mandela and black South African were fighting for their freedom, the Americans branded them terrorist until victory was imminent, having said this, our destiny REMIANS our hands.

"My take is that when Nelson Mandela and black South African were fighting for their freedom, the Americans branded them terrorist until victory was imminent, having said this, our destiny REMIANS our hands. "

Perhaps you should know that Nelson Mandela and co. received their greatest support from the Western world including the American congress. The resolution to impose sanctions on South Africa was imposed by the American congress, Reagan vetoed it and this veto was overriden by congress.It was the weight of those sanctions that helped bring appartheid to an end. Those sanctions did not come about by Oliver Thambo and Nelson Mandela pontificating about Reagan's dealings with the Ayotallahs but by the ANC aligning with interest groups in the west to influence US lawmakers and the rest of the west. Nations like Canada and many in th EU stood with the ANC despite Reagan and Maggie Thatcher. The ANC also did not make the Reagan support for the likes of Savimbi an issue far more relevant to an African than Iraq a big issue rather they concentrated on their own struggle. Nobody is calling for support for Bush, but I don't think you should incur his wrath over an issue which has little bearing to your cause.

Rick:

After reading about and seeing the work of a few disgruntled terrorists in Iraq, you decided that instead of condemning the mindless grisly act whilst calling for a review of US Middle East policy, the solution lies in getting a new regime in America. So the question for you becomes:

Do you think that if Kerry wins the election that global terrorism would come to a grinding halt?

Also, do you believe that if Kerry wins, this new foreign policy that you wish for would entail making supplications to these all-powerful terrorists (who must be placated because they can kill with relative ease and without remorse) or else involve striking delicious deals with them?

Then, as if you had a marvelous late night revelation, you further chipped in that for terrorism to end Americans must pull out of Iraq.

So, are the terrorist demands to be hearkened to because these terrorists each have 2 heads, breathe fire through their nostrils and are as tall as Iroko trees?

If the Iraqi government of Kerry’s day (as the new president) decides to consolidate their alliance with the US for their own best interests, and allow the US to stay in Iraq for other purposes, even though these terrorists want all Westerners out of the Middle East, what do you think should be done then?

Should the US also pull out of all Arab countries even though these governments are strategic partners with the US and have permitted them to stay? You know what, should the US become an isolationist country and cease all interactions with other countries because a bunch of armed militiamen in different corners of the globe favors the action?


Here, the point is that if the government of a nation decides to enter into a diplomatic relationship with the US, it is up to this government to determine when it wants a change to this relationship. If these governments do not enjoy the support of the autochthonous people, then the onus is on the citizens of this country to vote the recalcitrant, aloof, unpopular governments out; or employ other means to take care of their internal problems.

If Nigeria wasn’t as sick as it is, and if it was truly a power to be reckoned with (at least in Africa), if she enters into bi-lateral relations with any other government, and the citizens of the partner country want an end to the relationship, should they go about bombing Nigerian soldiers and embassies or should they direct their energies to THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT?

But oh, if we thought your conditions have ended, we are in for quite a surprise, because next you declare that the Palestinians must have a home. I think the Palestinians have a home already. What they are agitating for is their own internationally recognized State. However, why must America be the one to bring about this? In other words, if Kerry decides not to play a very active role here, should we criticize him for doing nothing while the Israeli-Palestinian issue escalated? Remember these things I am saying are likely to happen in the future if Kerry wins. So, if the Palestinians do not get their own state, then according to you, terrorism must continue?

You know, maybe you should have added other conditions that you think would end terrorism. Maybe, before terrorism is expected to end, Americans should stop using planes, stop traveling to other countries, stop all international tourist visits, or maybe stop international business partnerships. Maybe all these Kaffir Americans ought to denounce their beliefs and embrace Islam (after all we are going by the pronouncements of these deranged killers) before terrorism is expected to end. Is there an end to the list?

Like I said before, this ideological battle between Western Civilization and fanatical fringe elements in Islam will continue; it will keep manifesting itself in different ways.

Dum spiro, spero

--------------------------

I TOTALLY disagree.
WHO and WHAT represents that "western civilization"? Dont tell me that democracy as we know it today is the creation of America.
Just as there are fringe elements in the east, so there are in the west. The only difference is that while those in the east cannot arm themselves with brain-washing mediums like CNN and others, the west has on the other hand used this mediums to make some people think that their culture is better than that of the rest of the world. Sadly, that includes African culture, a.k.a., "Civilization".
On the other hand, if Bush represents that so-called western civilization, then the west never had one and do not need it.

Okwy:
Leave those that dream that supporting Bush will give them their freedom. What this people dont know is that if they truly want freedom, then they should first go after the west (America included), because only thereafter that they can then be in position to face the power that be (supported by the same America and the west)in Nigeria.

Hard to believe, but it seems your profesy is coming to pass more earlier than we imagined.
Just as you posited above, and I do agree 100%, the George Bush which the self-nominated and recognised Biafran warlords want us to die for has lived to the billing of what the country he is leading HAS BEEN and will continue to be--a country that cares ONLY of her interests.

On his arrival to Turkey for the annual Nato meeting today, when aksed by journalist to explain what he will do with the separatist Turkish Kurds, which is represented by the Kurdistan Peoples Party (PKK), the same man that said he went to Iraq to give them "freedom" retorted that IN HIS WORDS, "I (Bush and America) will help the Turks deal with the seperatist and terrorist PKK". unquote.

Where dors this leave the supporters of Bush who think that when they lick Bush's ass that he will give them Biafra on a platter of gold?

Rather than running from pillar to post looking for acknowledgement, you might want to address pressing issues concerning your credibility as that seems to be the root cause of your problem. It would be better if you published the source of what you claim Bush has said before anyone even begins to debate it, afterall you have been known to tell bogus stories on this forum. When you have addressed that little problem we can the talk about the PKK, Kurds and George Bush.

We have been told the US only cares for oil and some have scorned the idea of building usefull ties with influential groups in the US. I have said time and again that it is a mistake for Ndigbo to join in the anti American crusade being spearheaded by Arabs. The link below is a good example of what happens when somebody pushes your interest in washington.

Other issues are more likely to be driving Washington's policy. One is the pressure from right-wing Christian groups in the US, who have taken up the cause of their fellow Christians in Sudan. Their nagging - on the issues of slavery and the forcible imposition of Sharia law - helped get sanctions imposed on Sudan in 1997.

I also warned that we stay away from supporting anti US terrorism in any guise,and this is not
"Group think" or blind worship of America but common sense. It does not matter how much you hate or like Bush, what should be paramount is the ultimate freedom of Biafra.

" But the most urgent driving force is likely to be Sudan's place in President Bush's war against terrorism."

I do not agree with most U.S. govt policies particularly this little gorgie's but there's abundant of wisdom in your advice. I hope it doesn't start a flare up which it shouldn't considering BIAFRA not the arabs and their bullshit should be our only concern. Frankly the arabs can incinerate themselves it makes no difference to me hopefully to us. Thanks nwa nne.

Group thinking by itself is NOT a crime. What is a crime and must not be allowed to hold here (atleast not by Nwa Aro) is when a TYRANT wakes up to ditermine what should or should not be said. That old-fashioned mentality itself is anti U.S which you claim to speak for.

Be reminded for the uptenth time that being a follower of Bush is not the same as being a "proud" American, just as being against him as a person IS NOT being anti American.

Why this distiction must be made is that it dont justify those in Nigeria who think being against Obasanjo AS A PERSON is the same as being against the Nigerian state. Just as Bush will come and go, so will the Obasanjos.

Here you go again. WHO elected Chiboy as the kingmaker of the Biafran movement? when did 'Biafra' as a word or as an entity to be become Chiboy's meat that he should cut and share as he and his group of equally self-appointed fellas want?
Finally, could you tell the world the yardstick you and your fellow self-annointed "kingmakers" use in measuring who is a "real" Biafran and an "enemy". Is it by how much insults one hurls at another at the slightest provocation or no provocation atal?

Another attempt to gain CHEAP POINTS for your "hero"?
What is hapening in Sudan, especially in the Darfur region is CONDEMNABLE. And Nwa Aro has gone on record and will still do so again here by saying IT IS WRONG AND UNACCEPTABLE.
But hold a minute! Unlike you who seems to see things from the edges, Nwa Aro sees it AS A WHOLE.
For while you and others who see nothing good in anything muslim or Arab would want us believe that slavery and kidnapping of people for slavery is restricted to Sudan, truth is that similar things are happening in northern Uganda where a pro-christian group (so they claim) known THE LORDS RESISTANCE ARMY are killing, burning houses, kidnapping and raping women and girls and abducting male Ugandans to later force them into their group.
Please note that this EVIL group also claim to have a pro-christian agenda and even swear in new entrants into its fold with the Bible you and I know forbids all what those people are doing "in the name of god"
What I am saying in a nutshell is that what is happening in Sudan is not taking place because the oppressor is muslim/Arab, instead it is hapening because they are BAD PEOPLE DOING EVIL THINGS. So that is what we all (if you believe in good over evil) should be condemning and not WHO or WHERE the culprits come from.
Last point, painting people with one brush results in what you call "terrorism." That is the sore of George Bush's argument and policies; and that is why he is "hated" (within and without) more than any American president we can remember.

MeBiafran

It is not about the Arabs, it is about how much we want Biafra. Did you know Israel has been giving military help to the Kurds ? The Kurds are Muslims and going by middle eastern politics should be enemies with Israel, but I guess they want Kurdistan more than they hate Israel. Some times you hold your nose and vote with your toe, if there is any time to push Biafra now is the time. We know where the jihadist's draw their inspiration from and they are not very popular with Bush at the moment.

We must decide how much we wish to be free and not confuse internal American politics with Biafran foreign policy. A liberal US government was less willing to help the black people of Sudan than a conservative US government has been.

By the way don't count on little Georgie not coming back, as much as I am no fan of his the Hill Billies seem to be standing solidly behind. It also does not help that Kerry is a big bore who supported the war.

And if I might add:

Democrats will have to do something about Ralph Nader. The way things are shaping up, he could be a real spoiler. He could really cost Kerry the narrow victory that a lot of opinion polls are now predicting he would have. Beware of the Nader Factor!

Of course one would be simply out of the loop if one has not imagined that Republicans will fully support Nader’s presidential bid—and get this, work for it! We shall see wetin go happen naw, abi?
