quote:BATTLING 'EVIL-DOERS' BEGETS EVIL War is not only hell – it's insane.
The Hightower Report BY JIM HIGHTOWER
We've seen the insanity in George W.'s war of lies in Iraq – WMD that aren't there, perverted PR stunts about "Mission Accomplished," the White House effort to redefine "torture" as being OK, the transfer of "democratic power" to a handpicked Iraqi regime that isn't democratic and won't really wield power, etc.
But our own leaders are not the only ones acting insane. The tiny nation of Macedonia has now learned that its leaders have also been caught up in the hellish insanity and depravity of Bush's self-declared, unlimited war on the world's "evil-doers." In an effort to curry favor with Bush, the top officials in the right-wing government of this Balkan country plotted in late 2001 to show their commitment to George's war on terror.
Macedonian police commanders were dispatched to lure seven impoverished Muslim immigrants from Pakistan into their country. Believing they were on their way to jobs in Greece, the seven immigrants were taken in a minivan to a farm outside Macedonia's capital city. The van parked, the driver opened his door and fled, and a special terrorist unit of the police command opened fire, slaughtering all seven of the immigrants.
Shortly after the ambush, Macedonia's top government officials announced that these seven had been al Qaeda holy warriors, and that the police authorities had heroically thwarted their plan to conduct a terrorist attack on the U.S. embassy.
The Bushites and U.S. media loudly hailed Macedonia's government as heroes in George's global terrorist war, totally ignoring the pleas of the families of the seven immigrants that their sons had zero connections to terrorists – unless you counted the insane cowards who had them murdered.
Macedonia's cowardly leaders would've gotten away with their monstrous fabrication except that they subsequently lost an election, and the new government revealed the truth. There's been no comment from Bush.

It is called intellectual discussion in their own thinking. When they copy and paste a whole page news as their opinion to a MESSAGE BOARD. Any one could read the headline in MSN or Biafranigeria World or even Nigeriaworld. Why can't they provide a link instead of pasting a whole page that has become a menace to this board? EDUT, NWAARO, MEBIAFRA, NWABIAFRA and company are all parties and nuisiance of this behavior. I hope they copy.

Look little man! I hope you begin to extend the respect I've shown towards all your BS. Whenever it is possible I do provide your "link" unless you've a way of making something in a note available without posting it in its entirety in any case I hope this would be your last attempt at demeaning me particularly. There's no way you can pick a quarrel with almost every Igbo person on this board it reveals a lot about your character, I thought I let you know since you might be hurting yourself in the process unbeknownst. A word is always enough for one who lays claims to wisdom. Have a nice day!

Guys Can we all just get along and focus on the main issues. It is becoming a problem how we divert a thread issues to mundane things. After a thread is started, just may be after 3 post, the topic of that thread will all of sudden turn into a different topic or personal attacks.
Waypoint and Ednut, this love hate relationship that going on between you two are getting interesting. So my people lets get back to the main issues of any thread.

Umuigbo/Fellow Biafrans: It is said that in politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies but permanent interests. And I think this should be our guide in the struggle for Igbo/Biafran liberation. We should also strive to identify our enemies and potential allies, irrespective of ideology or party identication. We should support those who would support us and oppose those who would oppose us. It is, therefore, in this regard that I find troubling the attacks on the Bush administration's policy in Iraq and the perception that a Kerry administration would be more sympathetic to our cause. I think there is a better chance of having Bush rather than Kerry on our side. And here are my reasons. First, since I believe that the most powerful arguement we can make for Igbo selfdetermination/Biafra actualization is religious, a Bush administration will be more sympathetic to our cause than Kerry. And this is not merely because Bush is more "religious" than Kerry. Rather it has to do with the base of both parties: While the Republican base is made up predominantly of Evangelicals and traditional Christians, the Democratic base consists of liberal Christians and those unlikely to consider themselves regular church goers. Recent studies have discovered a "religion gap" between Republicans and Democrats. Let me use the struggle in the Sudan to illustrate my point. Under the Clinton administration, the Southern Sudanese Christians appealed to the US for support to end Islamic genocide against their people, but were ignored. And even when Madeline Albright, the US Secretary of State, was asked about the Sudan, she said that "it does not register on the radar." Under Bush, on the contrary, a Sudan envoy was appointed and a peace accord signed. Now the South shares power and oil revenues with the North, maintains its military, and will decide in a referendum in five years whether to found a new country. My Southern Sudanese friends tell me they are gone. But this change of fortune was neither accidental nor solely a product of their military prowess. Remember the Southerners have been fighting for decades with little political gains. Ratherit was their alliance with Evangelicals, especially those from Bush's "village" in Texas that did it. The once "Marxist" SPLA leader, Dr. Deng, had found new friends in conservative American Christians to save his people, a hopeful indication that in a post-911 world,Christian groups persectuted by Islamists have powerful and potential allies among traditional Christians in the US. Liberation struggles are not about emotions. They are about building alliances, irrespective of differences in ideological preferences. There is yet another major obstacle that would inhibit pro-Biafran sympathies within the Democratic party: African Americans are a powerful lobby within this party, and the Congressional Black Caucus virtually holds veto power on US Africa policy in Democratic administrations. Moreover, African Americans were very pro- one Nigeria during the Nigeria-Biafra War, and are still allied to the Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba condominium. However, this does not mean we should not present our case to them. Finally, I think it is crucial that all Biafran activists understand 911 has radically changed world politics forever. Most of the West (and the former Soviet Union), which supported the Islamic conquest of Biafra, are now "getting a little taste" of our suffering. While it will be naive to expect them to "do an Afghanistan" in Nigeria to actialize Biafra, there is no doubt that our interests are closer now than during the Nigeria-Biafra War. If we are truly serious about Biafra, we should start forming in the US the political alliances necessary to actualize it- like the Jews, Poles, Irish, Eritreans, Southern Sudanese, Afghans and Iraqis. It is counterproductive for bona fide Biafran nationalists to attack the US and support Palestinians and Iraqis (insurgents)-two peoples who supported Nigeria and opposed Biafra. Similar anti- Western diatribes (mostly by Western-educated Biafran "Marxist" academics)were surely detrimental to our cause in the past, especially since the Communist bloc was also pro-Nigeria.Our best potential allies are in the West, where we also have a sizeable diaspora that can be politically organized.We can not afford to alienate potential allies. For it is almost impossible to realize our dream without their support. Let us not repeat the mistake of the past. Therefore,the fault, their friends, is not in the West but in us that Biafra is not yet actualized. BIAFRA LOTA. Libertas

MeBiafra, your probably a fine young man with mastubated opinion, if you know what I mean. I have noticed that strenght and I'm sure you will thank me for that. However, if you provide link, there is no need to ritualistically, spit on the floor to make a point or disparage the angelic me. I fancy you for providing links rather than nusiance pastering. THIS IS A MESSAGE BOARD WITH VERY LITTLE SPACE FOR EDITORIAL DUPLICATION.
On picking on every Igbo man on this board as you had insinuated, how do I know that your Igbo? I have never thought for a sec that your an Igboman because I have never met you physically or heard you speak to come to that conclusion. But I know that your "Me-Biafran" with grudged opinion. This is a cyber world, you know. "Ednut" could be a jive walking over-sexed pimp daddy masquarading as "Ednut" I respond to people in this board not on the basis of their ethnicity, well to some extent but on their political and philosophical belief. I am not a mad dog xenophobic racist that "Nwa-Aro" and "Nwa-Biafra" think I am. And frankly, I could care less about anyone who is contentious or comptemtible about my opinion, it is your right so long as your not offensive to my graceful self. Copy that.

I’ll take to heart yours it was written with a clear mind and couldn’t have been more sensible your objectivity was glaring.
Waypoint1
How and what one writes in most cases gives insight to his/her mental state as such based on your latest baby diatribes I can unequivocally grade you as under 30 or even less. Someone who lacks total respect for his elders cannot be said to be a real Igbo, if you “copy” because the Igbo which I belong does not allow for a toddler to call his elder “young man.” Grownups have a unique way of expressing opinions on matters of interest not the child-like self-promo that have engulfed you and made you to think much of yourself. Understatement is always a whole lot classier than the overstatements that drops from your drool. In the past I’ve defended you even at the risk of alienating my comrades that’s when I felt your opinion on politics should be respected. But there exists a fine line between political views and personal attacks your daily indulgence therefore I can see that your sense of self-worth is screeching out of control. You’re yet to metamorphose into a being mature enough to question my Igboness although grown folks did notice it’s beyond your standard.

"Me-Biafran, thank you for the defense of me against other defective pen holders. But I have not noticed or particularly fancy anyone to defend me in this message board. It will be nice to see you remain objective for others to copy.
You got me wrong though.I know you have aged gracefully to a privileged old man as you had implied. But I don't think I have questioned your Igboness or your unbearable likeness of Igbo heritage since I have not been told that your Igbo or met you physically to come to that conclusion. Your "MeBiafra" does not indicate that your Igbo or Calabar.Your profile neither implied any locus of your ethnicity but "Me-Biafran. But are you Igbo, actually? I have never been told that your one? I only read from you as "Me-Biafran". Touch base with me on this matter. I like to know if your Igbo not that I am questioning it. Thanks old man.

If only you know how long I have been trying to make the same point you have just clearly stated, thanks for the eloquent summary. There are those who will accuse you of trying to force your opinion on Biafrans not to talk of the confused few who think watching CNN is all they need to be experts on American politics, but the fact is we need to watch out for our own interest before trying to solve the worlds problem.
The truth is the Hausa Fulani/Yoruba know their constituency in America and their exploit it to the fullest. I personally think that a lasting alliance with groups that have our interest at hearth is even more important than who becomes president because you can push your case either throught the executive or congress. Yes we need to be organized and politically active in a manner that protects our interest and we can't achieve that by joining the enemy in antagonizing those we may need help from. The help the Sudanese are getting is not because the Americans love them so much, but because there is a greater danger of terrorism from the government in Kharthoum.

Waypoint1Biafra, I sincerely did appreciate the way and manner of your latest we may disagree but let’s do it with respect to one another. Most times I ask myself if it’s worth the altercation but then when I think about my native nation... Igbo/BIAFRA i get energized like the "energizer bunny." I don’t know how many times I’ve said in the past that my involvement stemmed from the onslaught by “othniel” the bini chap who didn’t see his general insults on the Igbo nation as such. Inasmuch as I am a naturalized American I am not here for that only about the unjust and evil gangsterism on my suffering people in the gutter nation of nigeria. Way1, I’m a just man with good ambition who likes to be objective though at times it seems impossible but hey, that’s why I am a human. Please keep it clean or friendly to at least a reasonable point, please. Don’t make it about the U.S. my brother keep the searchlight on our overriding Igbo interest.
Please disregard any insults I might have dished today I felt offended though I “shudda” known better our brother Anaedo taught me better. And yes I am a bonafide blue blood IGBO, proud of it, my age and way of life. How else could one explain my virulent and steadfast defense of the Igbo cause if I’m not? “awum onye uzo ulo.” Copy? I like that “copy” crap. Lol. Don't let my feelings towards the present administrations here and beyond affect your relationship with your brethren in the house aiight? I am not a fan or supporter of bush/obasanjo so be mindful of this next time. Have a wonderful day, paix! I mean Peace!

Much better. Now, I know that your Igbo, allow me to say Ndewo [thanks]and Emeria anu [later]. But this does not diminish my capacity to be Waypoint 1Biafra to others who hold hostile views against my philosophy but slightly a deviation from the way I view you. Your capable of a nice person.
