The US has been unable to make any strategic headway. Last month they lost 47 members of their army, which they haven't bothered to quote.
The two theories behind Hariri's visit to BaghdadTwo theories behind Hariri's visit to Baghdad:
1- The Americans sent him to mediate with Maliki, just like he played the same role a year ago with Musharraf of Pakistan.
2- To find more investment opportunities for his reconstruction company, just like he bought half of Amman - Jordan despite the Jordanian.

International justice became Israel and the west’s doormatMany Arab newspapers angrily reacted to the International Criminal Court decision of arresting Sudan's president Omar al-Bashir.
Most frustrated reaction came from UAE Alkhaleej editorial "Where is the international justice":
International justice became a doormat used by the world power and their ally Israel as a heavy stick against the countries opposing the west policies.
Justice standards of our time are to be strong, beyond the law and international legitimacy and exercise the role of a pirate.
These charges confirm that real justice has become a thing of the past since U.S. dominated the international scene is dictating its decisions.
Al Missiri passed away, his works notProf. Dr. Abdul Wahab Al Missiri passed away today, his website with many of his works are still alive, his Arabic book "Jews, Judaism and Zionism Encyclopedia" also. expecting a very close end for Israel, perhaps in fifty years from now!
Last article on Aljazeera he expected "a very close end for Israel" denied to have a relationship with this expectation of pessimism or optimism, stressing that he read the data and facts in context and draw substantive what could be their consequences.
Al Meseiri described establishment of a Palestinian state as proposed by Israel and the Arab and foreign countries that is “useless” and he said “the alternative is to have a multi-religions and identities,” as happened in South Africa.

The unknown in Khaliq gatheringInteresting, Iraqi journalist recorded what he saw in the Iranian mujahedeen Khaliq gathering in Paris.
He said that he saw Iraqis in traditional Arab cloths participated in the gathering, sitting in front lines, treated like VIP’s, and greeted by Maryam Rajavi herself who described them as heroes in her speech.
The journalist asks: What changed? Is this the same organization few weeks ago, the west consider it as a terrorists organization?
He is right, Kaliq is Israel’s last hope to attack Iran.

Why blame ‘US-Zionist’s when the truth is that Khalil al-Zahawi on only the latest Iraqi artist to be killed by the Iraqis themselves? Milita, Sunni or Shia, or mindless thug- all they value is greed and hate. They destroy even their communities by looting power cables and threatening rebuilding works. All they have achieved since the war is adapting to destruction, not rebuilding or creating. And by killing Khalil al-Zahawi they show that even culture, and art is valueless to them.

Good God. I’m American, Protestant and I’m far more fond of Israel and her people than anything else within 1500 miles in any given direction.
I don’t have much sense for the aesthetic; I can’t read Arabic, I’ve no eye for art. I only went looking for examples of his work for my friend, who loved it and, through it, came to respect him a great deal. News of his death hammered her; truth told, I’d like to hurt the people who did this myself.
You mar his work by setting it down with such hate in your heart and mind.

sadly , world history is chock full of angry, hateful people wiping out art and beauty and culture in their senseless rampage to destroy. this is a sad example. i don’t know that it’s Bush’s fault (Iraq has a unique history of violence and horrors) but he’s an easy target for the frustration, that’s for sure.

I came across this webpage looking for good Islamic calligraphy. I adore Arabic calligraphy and architecture , and when I lived in Jerusalem I went a lot to the old city looking for good Arabic calligraphy in mosques and just around the streets. looking at the external walls of the golden-dome mosque felt to me like God is talking in typographic shapes, no less. I am a Jewish-Israeli-Zionist typographer who finds inspiration in other cultures in the middle-east, and respects them a lot. I am sad to hear about Al-Zahawi’s death, but even more sad to read that you relate it to a zionist plot against your culture. my greatest wish is that jews and Muslims finally realize how similar our traditions are and how much Hebrew and Arabic languages and scripts are alike. my thesis for the art academy I studied in was just about that, please check out my website, you’ll see it. Jews and Muslims inspired one another for centuries, from Moorish Spain (until the reconcista, 1492) to the grand and prosperous Baghdad community (until the early 1950’s) I believe that art and typography can bridge over hate, but this post almost changed my mind.
