Británie: Stát ohrožuje demokracii
Rozšíří se antidemokratická "protiteroristická opatření" i do České republiky?

Nové protiteroristické zákony systematicky ochromují základní demokratické svobody, argumentoval v úterý v listě Guardian komentátor George Monbiot.

Za posledního půldruhého roku jsme se poučili, že základní pravidlo politiky - totiž že mocným se nesmí nikdy důvěřovat - nadále platí. Vláda se totiž vymyká jakékoliv kontrole a nedovolí ani, aby ji regulovaly instituce, které ji obklopují. Parlament se rozhodl, že uvěří sérii zjevných lží. Sdělovací prostředky je opakovaly, státní služba proti nim neprotestovala, soudnictví je schválilo. Dávná otázka - kdo kontroluje ony kontrolory? zůstává nezměněna. Vládu jsou schopni pohnat k odpovědnosti jedině občané.

Mají k tomu dva prostředky. Jedním z nich je odvolit vládu v příštích všeobecných volbách,. To ale funguje jen tehdy, když občanům nabízejí politické strany ve volbách každá opačnou politiku. Jenže nyní uzavřely hlavní politické strany skoro ve všech zemích navzájem dohodu: rozhodli se podporovat stejnou politiku skoro ve všech politických oblastech. To znamená, že lidé ztratili při volbách svou moc: mohou odvolit politiky, nedokáží však změnit vládní politiku. Takže hlasování ve volbách je nyní méně významným nástrojem než druhý nástroj pro vyjadřování nespokojenosti s vládou během volebního období: demonstrace.

V Oxfordu protestují nesympatičtí a extremističtí ochránci práv zvířat proti stavbě nových laboratoří na zkoušky na zvířatech. Nepopularita těchto aktivistů je pro britský stát obrovským darem, argumentuje autor. Lidé nechtějí být považovány za sympatizanty s těmito aktivistickými šílenci, a tak skoro nikdo neprotestuje proti represivním zákonům, jimiž chce britská vláda jejich protesty omezit. Přitom dosavadní britské zákony proti násilným činům jsou velmi účinné. Britská vláda však od nynějška zamýšlí kriminalizovat i pokojné demonstrace.

Britské ministerstvo vnitra navrhuje, aby bylo trestným činem pokud někdo protestuje před obytnými budovami "takovým způsobem, který obtěžuje jejich obyvatele, znepokojuje je a vyvolává u nich úzkost". To se zdá rozumné, dokud si neuvědomíte, že policie má právo definovat toto obtěžování, znepokojování a úzkost, jak ona sama uzná za vhodné.

Pokud budou nová opatření schválena, bude to znamenat, že většinu demonstrantů bude možno obžalovat z "obtěžování jiných osob", pokud se vyskytnou před budovou, proti jejímž obyvatelům či zaměstnancům chtějí protestovat.

Britská vláda také navrhuje "zavést opatření" proti internetovým stránkám, které "obsahují materiál, o němž se usuzuje, že vyvolává znepokojení či zbytečnou úzkost u jiných lidí".

Vzhledem k tomu, že mé vlastní internetové stránky už jedna britská státní instituce dala na černou listinu, mám důvod obávat se tohoto návrhu, stejně jako všichni internetoví disidenti v Británii.

Pokud budou všechna tato opatření přijata, jediným zbývajícím povoleným protestem bude psát vašemu poslanci. Pokud ovšem i to nebude považováno za "vyvolávání úzkosti".

Když byl v roce 1997 v Británii schválen Zákon na ochranu před obtěžováním jiných občanů, vláda přísahala, že ho nebude zneužívat proti demonstracím, účelem zákona mělo být ochraňovat občany před neodbytnými dotěravci. První tři osoby, proti nimž bylo zahájeno trestní stíhání podle tohoto zákona, byli všichni pokojní demonstranti. Vláda také tvrdila, že nebude zneužívat předpisů z roku 1998, zakazujících antisociální chování, které jsou zaměřeny proti antisociálním sousedům. I tyto předpisy byly okamžitě zneužity proti pokojným demonstrantům.

Když si lidé stěžovali, že britský Zákon proti terorismu z roku 2000 je tak mlhavě formulován, že ho lze zneužít proti každé osobě, která usiluje o politickou změnu, vláda nám sdělila, že se chováme hystericky. Od té doby jsou po celé Británii zatýkání pokojní demonstranté jako potenciální teroristé.

Například na letecké základně ve Fairfordu zneužila policie tohoto zákona k terorizování mírových aktivistů, kteří protestovali proti válce v Iráku. Demonstranti byli opakovaně zatýkáni a prohledáváni. Jednomu demonstrantu se to stalo za jediný den jedenáctkrát. Loni 22. března policie ovládla tři autobusy, vezoucí demonstranty k základně ve Fairfordu, zadržovala je dvě hodiny, zkonfiskovala jim jejich věci, uzavřela celou dálnici z Gloucesteru až do Londýna a eskortovala autobusy zpět do Londýna. Policie i ministr vnitra dobře věděli, že tito lidé nejsou teroristé. Také věděli, že jim zákon umožňuje s nimi zacházet, jako kdyby teroristy byli.

A to není všechno. Britským parlamentem právě prochází zákon o "mimořádných událostech", který dovoluje vládě suspendovat parlament a zakázat veškerá veřejná shromáždění, pokud si rozhodne, že vznikla mimořádná událost.

K podobnému omezování demokracie dochází po celém světě. Americký Vlastenecký zákon, který Kongres schválil dříve, než si ho přečetl jediný poslanec, dovoluje státu, aby zacházel s nesouhlasícími občany, jako by to byli členové al Kajdy.

Za poslední tři roky usiluje Evropská unie o právo reklasifikovat demonstranty, kteří cestují na různé demonstrace v Evropě, jako teroristy.

Často se nám říká, že přijímat takovéto zákony je nebezpečné, protože by to jednoho dne mohlo ulehčit nedemokratické vládě, aby uchvátila moc. Avšak o to nejde. Už schvalování takovýchto zákonů se rovná uchvácení politické moci. Protest je neodlučitelnou součástí demokracie: čím více státy omezují právo na protest, tím více omezují demokracii. Demokracie, jako je britská, neskončí pochodem vojenských bot anebo vyvěšováním vlajek, ale postupným hromaděním tisíců právních doložek.

A až o své svobody přijdeme, už si nebudeme pamatovat, jaké vlastně bývaly. Mlčení, které minulý týden přivítalo přijetí těchto zákonů, dokazuje, že proces zapomínání už začal.

Get Ready for the Age of Consumer Monitoring

RFID tags, GPS devices, and cell phones can tell more about you than you might want anyone else to know.

By Erick Schonfeld, July 23, 2004

They'll track us through our cars and computers. They'll track us through our phones and TVs. They'll even track us through our clothes. I'm not talking about the government. This will be a more insidious form of surveillance. Whether it's by placing cookies on our computers, uploading our TV viewing habits, inserting radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips in every product we pick up from retailers' shelves, or installing GPS devices in our cars, corporate surveillance will become a bigger reality in our everyday lives. So get ready to be monitored.

Of course, we are already monitored every time we swipe a loyalty discount card at the local supermarket, make an airline reservation, or buy a book from Amazon (AMZN). But new wireless technologies, such as RFID and GPS chips, are increasingly making it possible for corporations to physically monitor consumers. Even most cell phones can now be used to pinpoint your location.

The motivation behind all of this tracking is simple. In business, not only is information power, but it is also profitable. The more detailed data a company can collect about its customers, the easier it is to sort through those customers and decide which ones to pamper and which ones to discard. Mass marketing is a brute-force approach that is gradually being replaced with ever finer market segmentations, sometimes even down to the individual. After all, the rise of the data warehouse in the 1990s was driven by the need to distinguish between the most profitable, loyal customers and the most expensive, demanding ones. But companies' ability to collect consumer-specific data stopped at the checkout counter or with the completion of each transaction.

Now cheap RFID and GPS chips, as well as cell phones, hold the promise of finding out what consumers do with a product or service after it is purchased. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The GPS chip, sensors, and cell phone in GM's (GM) OnStar car navigation computer calls an OnStar dispatcher whenever your airbags are deployed in a severe crash so an ambulance can be sent right away to the correct location. A European insurance company, Aviva, is piloting a service in the United Kingdom that charges customers based on their driving habits if they agree to put a GPS monitoring device in their cars. Aviva can track how often a customer drives, at what times, how far, where, and how fast. If you are a safe or infrequent driver, you pay less for insurance, and Aviva reduces the risk of shelling out cash for big claims.

RFID is a little further out. Wal-Mart (WMT) and other retailers are still struggling with getting RFID chips on pallets and boxes for inventory tracking, but eventually the chips could be as ubiquitous as the bar code. Once they are on every product, there is no technical reason those products couldn't continue to be tracked after they leave the store. As long as the chips are not deactivated at the checkout, they can be detected -- along with all the product information embedded in them -- by any RFID reader. Checkout deactivation should become the norm (just as antitheft tags are removed today once an item is paid for), but it is not difficult to imagine scenarios in which consumers will be offered incentives to keep the chips alive.

For instance, what if appliances like refrigerators, medicine cabinets, and garbage cans were equipped with RFID readers so that consumers could keep an inventory of all the stuff they buy, use, and discard? And what if that household inventory information could be sent back to Wal-Mart to generate shopping lists to replenish whatever was consumed? For that kind of convenience, people might not mind giving up their privacy.

Once these monitoring technologies are in place, however, they could lead to potential privacy abuses. Take the car-insurance GPS device. While the service is completely voluntary, as it becomes more widespread, insurers could force poorer consumers to accept it whether they like it or not. "There definitely is a coercive element here," agrees Beth Givens, director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization. "For many people, in order to save money on their insurance premium, they would have to allow their car to be outfitted."

And what if the police subpoenaed your GPS records to bust you for speeding or place your car near the scene of a crime? It wouldn't be the first time GPS tracking was used against consumers. Some car rental companies have relied on GPS monitors to levy steep fines on renters who take the vehicles out of a given state or who speed. In one sign of a backlash, a current bill in California proposes outlawing this sort of customer tracking.

A similar potential for abuse exists with RFID chips. A grocery store in Germany operated by the Metro Group embedded RFID chips in customer loyalty cards without disclosing that information. When customers found out, they picketed the store and the company had to issue new, chip-free cards. The fear here, says Katherine Albrecht, founder of consumer privacy group Caspian, is that stores could actively discriminate against their least profitable (and usually lower-income) shoppers. Once a chip is in a loyalty card, a store could link personal identity with shopping history. Add electronic shelf pricing displays to the mix, and there would be nothing to stop a store from raising the price of a jar of peanut butter, say, when a less desirable customer approaches, and lowering it when a more desirable one does. If the top 20 percent of a store's customers account for 80 percent of its profits, why even bother with the bottom 20 percent? "The industry refers to those people as bottom-feeders," Albrecht says. She contends that some unscrupulous retailers even try to discourage that bottom 20 percent from returning to the store with "higher prices or poor service."

A bigger concern, perhaps, is what happens to the products once they leave the store. Goodyear and Michelin, for instance, are introducing tires with RFID chips so they can be easily identified in case of a recall. That sounds sensible enough. But once the chips are in the tires, there's nothing to stop state troopers from setting up RFID readers on highways to catch speeders. (Arguably, they could do the same thing with EZ-Pass, which also uses RFID chips. But who cares about surveillance as long as you can get where you're going faster, right?) Or what if there were RFID chips embedded in everyone's clothes and then the police walked around with hidden RFID readers at antiwar rallies? If they could cross-reference those identity tags with those in the customer database of an obliging retailer or manufacturer, it would be almost as effective as implanting an RFID chip in every citizen.

Thankfully, most of these ugly scenarios are still hypothetical. But to avoid them in the future and still reap the benefits of these new technologies, corporations would be wise to adhere to some reasonable rules of the road. Here are a few to start with:

1. Avoid secret placement of monitoring hardware, tags, or tag readers.

2. Kill the tags at checkout as a default.

3. Obtain consumers' consent for any tags that will remain active beyond the checkout.

4. Tell consumers what data is being collected and stick to those limits.

5. Don't impose penalties, such as refusing a return or refund, for destroying tags.

Now all we need is a technology that will make sure these rules are followed.

Is the Bush Administration Planning a Red Code Alert?

www.globalresearch.ca 2 August 2004

The URL of this article is: http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CRG407A.html

July 31st 2004

The Bush Administration has triggered yet another Orange Code Alert, based on so-called "credible" information that al Qaeda is planning to attack the Washington based international financial institutions including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the New York Stock Exchange. "This is not the usual chatter. This is multiple sources that involve extraordinary detail," Tom Ridge said.

This is the sixth orange code alert since September 11, 2001.

There is evidence from police sources that at least two of the previous high profile post-9/11 code orange terror alerts were fabricated. (February 7, 2003, and December, 21, 2003) (for details and documentary evidence see http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO402A.html ).

Is the administration planning on triggering a code red alert, which in the words of Sec Tom Ridge, would "close down the country"? What is the hidden agenda? Needless to say, the terror warnings create conditions for insider trading and speculative activity on financial markets...

Leaflet Says Extremist Al-Zarqawi Killed

By LEE KEATH
The Associated Press
Thursday, March 4, 2004; 10:10 AM

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A Jordanian extremist suspected of bloody suicide attacks in Iraq was killed some time ago in U.S. bombings and a letter outlining plans for fomenting sectarian war is a forgery, a leaflet signed by a dozen alleged insurgent groups said. A senior U.S. official denied that claim.


Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in the Sulaimaniyah mountains of northern Iraq "during the American bombing there," according to the eight-page leaflet circulated this week in Fallujah, a city 30 miles west of Baghdad that is a hotbed of anti-U.S. insurgency activity.

There was no way to verify the authenticity of the leaflet. It was signed by 12 groups, including several cited by U.S. officials in the past including the Ansar al-Sunna Army and Muhammad's Army.

It said al-Zarqawi was unable to escape the bombing because of his artificial leg.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29777-2004Mar4.html

Zarqawi has become the replacement for "Osama bin Goldstien", but aside from having lost a leg, he was reported killed last March.

Terrorists Maybe Using New Zealand Passports

NZ City – April 29, 2004

Police fear al Qaeda terrorists using NZ passports following arrest of 2 men in Thailand and seizure of fake NZ passports.

There are fears al Qaeda terrorists may be roaming the world, passing themselves off as New Zealanders.

It follows the arrest of two men in Thailand, and the seizure of 11 fake New Zealand passports.

Police picked up the Thai and his Pakistani accomplice in an undercover raid in Bangkok on Monday.

The forged New Zealand documents are among 23 fake passports found in their apartment.

The arrests followed the arrest last month of another Pakistani suspect, found with 12 fake New Zealand passports.

The Bangkok Post newspaper says the passports might have been used by al Qaeda-linked terrorist suspects or human traffickers.

The documents have serial numbers beginning with N379, which allows visa-free entry to several countries.

Thai police say terrorist suspects arrested in Europe have travelled to several nations carrying fake passports with such serial numbers.

A US couple have been removed from a New York-bound flight at Miami airport because crew members considered a T-shirt one of them was wearing obscene.

Oscar Arela and his girlfriend were kicked off the American Airlines flight 952 after he refused to change his T-shirt depicting a bare breast.

The couple said the move violated their constitutional right to free speech.

American Airline spokesman Tim Wagner said the crew acted properly and that the couple had their fare refunded.

"It's a picture of a man and woman, and the woman's breast is showing," Mr Arela's girlfriend, Tala Tow, told the Miami Herald newspaper.

"The flight attendant basically walked up to us and yelled, 'You have to take off that shirt right now'."

Iraqi Muslims Did Not Blow Up Christian Churches

Sam Hamod

Having discussed the matter in detail with other experts on the Middle East, Christianity in Iraq and on Islam in Iraq, we have all concluded this is not the work of any Muslim group. There has never been any animosity between the Christian and Muslim communities in Iraq, in fact, they have stood toe-to-toe against the American occupation and they have resisted efforts by the Israeli office in Baghdad to become allied with Israel.

With these matters in mind, it appears as if this new “attack on the Christian churches” is just another attempt either by the American CIA or its operatives, or the Mossad of Israel, to paint Islam with terrorism and to split the Muslim and Christian communities in Iraq. They tried to do the same thing in Palestine, but the Palestinians wouldn’t buy it. As you may remember, the Israelis shelled the holy churches of the Church of the Nativity and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Both events were condemned by Christian and Muslim alike. Even today in Iraq, all Iraqis interviewed said they knew no Iraqi or Muslim would do such a thing. But, in America, where we are fed the news as it is planned by Bush and by Zionist influence, the story plays big to the evangelical group and to Christians who believe the U.S. propaganda media.

This is another sad chapter in the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Since the early days of the war, the Iraqis complained about the treatment of prisoners taken by the Americans. Unfortunately, no one would listen to the Iraqis or those of us who reported these atrocities. You all know the truth by now, how we were lied to by our government and by the U.S. media; so much for truth and "embedding." So, once again, we have to report to you, this is just another American cover-up to create more chaos in Iraq, just as America did in Viet Nam to keep us in that war, and to justify more attacks on Muslims groups in Iraq. This will also help justify the continuing immoral and unjust shelling of Fallujah to allegedly kill Zarqawi. The townspeople keep saying, “There is no Zarqawi here, and there never was” ;yet our U.S. military keeps lying in order to justify the bombings of civilians in order to punish the Fallujahns for having kept the American forces out of their city.

At this point, there is no telling what the U.S. or the Israeli Mossad will do in Iraq in order to foment civil war among the Iraqis and to justify the continuation of an American occupation in Iraq. Some of you may remember that JFK felt he had to go into Viet Nam in order to protect the Christian Catholic leadership in the south. We have a replay of this today in Iraq, with this "news."

As for me, I’ve just about given up on believing anything the Bush administration or the major American media tells us; they've lied to us too often. We think this is just another s self-serving lie by the Bush or Mossad team.

Sharon: U.S. Wants Israel to Have Nukes

IAEA Head in Israel to Discuss Nukes
•
IAEA Wants Israel to Admit It Has Nukes

JERUSALEM — The United States backs Israel's right to weapons of deterrence, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (search) said Thursday, an oblique reference to Israel's secret store of nuclear weapons.

Sharon told a political party gathering in Tel Aviv that the United States recognizes that "Israel faces an existential threat, and it must be able to defend itself by itself by preserving its deterrent capability."

Sharon noted that Iran is under U.S. pressure to stop its nuclear weapons program (search), and Libya took steps to halt its nuclear arms development, but "we have received here a clear American position that says in other words that Israel must not be touched when it comes to its deterrent capability."

Israel has never admitted possessing nuclear weapons, maintaining a policy of ambiguity. However, based on pictures and information given to the London Sunday Times in 1987 by nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu, experts have determined that Israel has dozens, perhaps hundreds, of nuclear bombs.

How Israel Created The Myth of Al-Qaeda

by Seymour Hersh 3:27pm Thu Jun 24 '04 (Modified on 3:59pm Fri Jul 30 '04) article#42775

Seymour Hersh found out that hundreds of Mossad foreign fighters have been in Iraq for a long time.

Their specialty: car bombs, sexual torture, beheadings.

These Israeli citizens came into Iraq disguised as Arab or Kurdish civilians, businessmen. Maybe "contractors"? Under contract with the Pentagon's neocon office? Your tax dollars at work?

How much of their work is blamed on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi? How much of Israel's terrorism is blamed on "Al-Qaeda"?

I have investigated the development of the "mujahideen" and here is my conclusion:

In the 80's, Israel supervised the recruitment of Arab Afghan "mujahideen" supposedly to fight against Russia. They became cannon fodder and refugees before they ended up in Guantanamo.

THEIR REAL PURPOSE WAS TO HELP ISRAEL CREATE A USEFUL MYTH: AL-QAEDA. The Arab mujahideen were rather harmless as recent revelations from Guantanamo have shown.

Israeli and Jewish-American intelligence specialists were trusted by the CIA--Israelis being "allies" and experts on the Middle East--to recruit the Arab "mujahideen" to be used by the US against Russia. Israelis disguised as Arab or Pakistani missionaries (tablighis) even ran the recruitment centers. Israelis playing Muslim missionaries (tablighis) were caught in India and Israel rushed to retrieve them.

The Arab "mujahideen" themselves were inefficient and almost useless. I have heard from the relatives of many who died in vain in clumsy incidents in Afghanistan.

All the Zionists wanted was a story, a myth that would enable them to create another myth: "Al-Qaeda." The Zionists needed this myth as an excuse for their long-term plans for the "war on terror," a war to destabilze the Middle East and pit the world against Muslims.

Neither Bin Laden nor the Arab refugees he took care of were of any military significance. The Afghans themselves were the real efficient mujahideen because they knew the territory and the tribal structure. The Afghans actually saw the Arabs as nuisance.

Arabs say "nothing comes out of a pot except what's in it." When the neocon liars speak about Arab/Islamic terrorism and Al-Qaeda, they are in fact talking about what they themselves are doing. They are talking about Israeli covert activities.

No Arabs are involved. Israeli commandos move around using forged or stolen Arab ID's and--if necessary--they wear masks to hide their real identities, such as in beheading videos.

Israelis continue to fake whatever it takes to prove that the "war on terror," i.e. the war on Arabs has to continue.

Listen to them more carefully, folks. The Zionists in our midst have been telling us the truth all along. Just replace "Arab" with "Israeli," replace "Al-Qaeda" with "Mossad," etc.

A Crusade We Must Win

Posted 7/28/2004
By Earl H. Tilford

The word “crusade” long ago became anathema to the politically correct. Nevertheless, America’s most successful wars were crusades fought against demonstrably evil foes to right blatant wrongs. The American Civil War, World Wars I and II and the Cold War (World War III) truly were crusades. So is World War IV.

Most Americans remain blithely oblivious to the true nature of this war. Indeed, a sizeable number think the fighting in Iraq constitutes a war distinct from the global war with al Qaeda, affiliated terrorist groups and supportive regimes like Iran. The Michael Moores among the liberal elite believe the War on Terror is a case of America the behemoth bullying Arabs to get petroleum. More extreme nutcases blather about a Bush cabal making war to spread Christianity throughout the Islamic world.

The United States is at war globally against an enemy determined to destroy Western Civilization based on institutions grounded in Judeo-Christian concepts like human dignity and political, economic and religious freedom. Victory demands a winning strategy. Clearly defined policy goals define and determine strategy. It is vital to know who we fight, why, and the strategic objectives.

In his 2002 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush made Iran part of an Axis of Evil with North Korea and Saddam’s Iraq. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright immediately dubbed Bush’s remarks “a big mistake.” Europeans winced, congressional liberals blanched and the intellectual elite scoffed.

Then, earlier this month, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence confirmed Bush’s earlier characterization of Iran. It seems President Bush knew the enemy all along.

Iran also knows its enemies: the United States (the Great Satan) and Israel (the Little Satan). A quarter century ago, in November 1979, Iran went to war with the United States when the mullahs dispatched militant students to take over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. In 1982, Iran established Hizbullah in Lebanon which has since attacked Israel from camps along the border and with terrorists dispatched from the Palestinian West Bank. Additionally, Iranian Intelligence directs Hizbullah cells in Europe, South America, Asia, Canada and the United States.

Under the alias “Islamic Jihad,” Hizbullah bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983 and in October of that year sent a truck bomb into the Beirut U.S. Marine barracks, killing 220 Marines, 18 Navy and three U.S. Army personnel.

The following April, Islamic Jihad-cum-Hizbullah terrorists planted a bomb in a disco in Torrejon, Spain, killing eighteen U.S. soldiers. Shifting its attacks back to the Little Satan, over the next decade Hizbullah fired rockets from southern Lebanon into Israel, killing Israelis.

Today Hizbullah joins with Hamas and Yasir Arafat’s Fatah and the Al Aksa Martyr’s Brigades to send suicide bombers into Israel while Hizbullah jihadists battle American and Coalition forces in Iraq.

Iran is a formidable enemy. In June the Iranian government of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sponsored a conference in Tehran at which mullahs called for an “Army of Martyrs” — Islamic kamikazes — to attack U.S. interests around the world. The conference concluded with a Revolutionary Guard official declaring, “If Muslims create fear in the heathen world, this fear is sacred.” The following Friday, calls went out from mosques across Iran urging volunteers for the Army of Martyrs. Jihad is a crusade by another name.

With the United Nations on Tehran’s case, the only reasonable hope for preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons rests with the Israeli Air Force. Absent an Israeli preemptive strike, when the mullahs get the bomb they will expand Iran’s two-front war from attacks on Israel and on coalition forces in Iraq. They will intimidate and then destabilize moderate and pro-Western Arab regimes, especially those which host American bases. Meanwhile, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will make good his promise “to harm America around the world” by unleashing Iran’s Army of Martyrs.

Regime change in Iraq is a key to this strategic paradigm. If the United States hangs tough to consummate President Bush’s visionary strategy for Iraqi democratization, the mullahs in Iran will come under increasing pressure. Despite Iran’s terrorism and ongoing war with Israel and the United States, Ayatollah Khamenei’s dictatorship is failing. His regime violates human rights massively, the economy is in shambles, drug use and street crime are rampant. Families and interests close to the regime enrich themselves while others suffer.

The mullahs know President Bush will stand firm and that if a democratic regime takes hold in Iraq they could be in trouble from internal elements yearning for democratic reform. That is why, at Iran’s behest, Hizbullah will increase its attacks in Iraq, ratcheting up the body count prior to the November elections.

Terrorist attacks against Israel will continue in hopes of prompting those Israeli counter-attacks sure to bring U.N. condemnations and elicit whining from squishy American liberal groups quick to condemn Israel but reluctant to speak out against Iranian and Palestinian terrorism.

Political correctness notwithstanding, World War IV is a crusade we must win.
