Jackal in the Bushes
to the continuing victims of 9/11
With Jackal's teeth he sneered a smile
Claiming "Justice" all the while.
The people cheer, he takes a bow
He made for them a tainted vow.
He hid his crime with trusting dupes
Sent sons and fathers off in troops.
He folds his blood-stained hands in prayer
While unfelt words dissolve in air.
"An attack on Freedom" he did declare
His part in it he did not share.
He tells us what to think and feel
Lest we learn a truth too real.
A battle for Good and Evil it is -
But will he reveal the Evil that's his?
There will come a day in time
When no one can escape their crime.
Until then let us put our trust
In our Watchful Lord who's always just.

AS CHANCES OF WAR ON IRAQ INCREASE, WE LOOK AT LINEUP of FORCES
"O ye who believe! What is the matter with you that, when ye are asked
to go
forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye
prefer the
life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this
life,
as compared with the Hereafter." [The Qur'an 9:38]
"Have no fear, for Allah is with us." [9:40. Muhammad, pbuh, to Abu
Bakr, r.a., in the cave during the hijra from Makka to Madina.]
Here is the lineup of forces as the U.S. prepares to attack Iraq. What's
really happening here is that Bush and Sharon have decided to eliminate
the only country standing up to them. As the outline below shows, the hope
for resistance comes from the Jihad movements, local and international;
otherwise
the forces of oppression have the world in their hands. Massive support
for
jihad from the vast Muslim populations who are as yet unarmed indicates
that the map of the world will change when these populations move from
theory to practice.
[Some countries given below occur under several headings owing to local
complexity.]
