Friday prayers on the 28th March lasted for hours in all mosques of Cairo ( and all Islamic countries) pushing Arabs for Jihad. Jihad, is fighting in the name of God the enemy of God. The concept of Jihad ( Arabic for Struggle) lies in the belief of the irrelevance of human life next to the interest of the land and the people. Any true Muslim believes in Jihad, be that a member of Al Qaeda, a member of Hizbullah or a member of a football team.
I understand how difficult it is to the Western mind to comprehend the idea of sacrificing your own life for an idea, a belief, or God. In the West, where the culture is about celebrating life and preserving it against all odds and gods, suicide attacks are merely incomprehensible.
Commenting on the Iraqi suicide bomber who lured four American soldiers to his cab handing them a bomb that killed him with them received a typical comment from Capt. Valles. He said: ” I don’t understand what motivated this guy to kill himself. To me, this is not an act of war. It is terrorism.. a man in a civilian vehicle killing himself at a checkpoint”.
Nicknaming Jihad terrorism is very unlikely to make it go away. As long as there is Islam on this globe, Jihad in the name of it will live. No amount of threats, bombs, deprivation, destruction, so-called liberation wars or name-calling will stop it. The only thing that can stop Jihad is to back off from Islamic territory. Trust me on this one!
In Iraq, civilians are inventing ways of taking American and British life. Incredulous of such human sacrifices, both American and British media insist that the Iraqi army fight in civilian attire! The fact is that even women, housewives from villages are fighting the war with the Iraqi army which exceeds 1.5 million persons! You probably have heard of Mayssoon Hameed who shot an enemy tank using an RBJ she never used in her life. She became a national symbol in and outside Iraq. Call her a terrorist if it makes you any happier. Arabs are all Mayssooons, all terrorists to borrow your diction.
The danger that the American forces in Iraq is facing is that they are fighting 26 million Iraqis on their territory that covers desert land, villages and towns and cities. They are not fighting Saddam and his government. Those 26 millions happen to bear the nationality of descendants of the Prophet. In emergency time, they are bound to act as one against the enemy , no matter what sort of differences existed among them.
Iraq has openly invited volunteers to defend Iraq from any and every Arab and Muslim country. Muslims are preparing to go to Iraq . There is a very serious doubt that coalition or conspiracy forces can tighten all borders to stop the trickle of Muslim volunteers into the battlefield.
The most dangerous face of jihad in a time like this uncovers in non-radicals, Christians and other- religion Arabs supporting it, yours truly included. All Arabs agree on one thing today: that a pan-Arabia is the name of the game. And like Victor Hugo says: ” Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come”.
To worsen the best case scenario, America is bound to lose the war no matter how much destruction it achieves in Iraq. Winning the war means displacing a regime America hates by a regime that does not exist. All those opposition parties that are talking loudly from one European country or another belong to minorities, mainly Kurds. The population of Kurds belonging to various opposition parties are 5 million. Most of the Kurds do not want to rule Iraq, they want to take part of it to call Kurdestan! America will be too naive too see a Kurd ruling Iraq one day. Worse still, the American army is not fighting an army but guerrillas. Those guerrillas are fighting in the name of God, not just Saddam. I can hardly imagine those substituting their belief in God by their belief in the American Jesus who is trying to save them by stealing their oil and distributing contracts to rebuild a country he has not yet conquered but has destroyed himself.
Jihad is coming.. and as Kissinger explains: ” The conventional army loses if does not win. The guerrilla wins if it does not lose”. Bush has introduced a second Middle East crisis to be sure. Iraq is not Afghanistan in any sense.

As one of the two major political parties, the Republicans support a conservative, center-right platform. They stand for social conservatism, personal responsibility, and are in favor of supply-side policies.

The political party originated in 1854, where the Republicans became the major opponents to the Democrats. The party grew even stronger when the 16th President of America, Abraham Lincoln, became the first Republican president during the American Civil War in 1860. Known as the Grand Old Party (GOP), the Republican Party has the second most registered voters as of 2004, with more or less 55 million votes, including one-third of the voting public.

Today, Republicans are developing in order to improve last year’s elections. According to former chairman of the Republican National Committee, Ken Mehlman, the party has learned their lessons from the previous terrorist attacks from free nations. They should use “every tool at their disposal” to win the war. However, the overpowering majority of Democrats voted against missile defense and the legislation to allow the interception of terrorist communications or the tribunals to get the information needed.

The Democrats are against many things, like the demolition of the death tax, which the Republicans want to eliminate. Democrats do not believe entrepreneurs and their employees should have the freedom to start small businesses, yet Republicans want these to be able to grow together to provide health care to their employees at a reasonable cost.

Ken Mehlman reiterates that the Republican Party lets people keep more of their hard-earned money. Without a doubt, Ken Mehlman is on the Republican Party’s side. And he is confident that people will realize why and then follow his example.

Quite a few medical centers are beginning to see an increasing amount of people that are suffering from malignant mesothelioma. Because of this, pathologists studying the case are given a number of problems, that are broken up into those exposed in finding the differences between mesothelioma and worriless changes and those seen in setting apart mesotheliomas from other sorts of epithelial and connecting tissue tumors. Immunohistochemistry is a major factor in making the diagnosis, but it should be interpreted in regards to the clinical setting and radiological features, and understanding the extensive morphological differences seen in malignant mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a cancer affecting the serosal cavities, an anatomical area that is frequently affected by metastasis, largely from primary carcinomas of the lung, breast, and ovary. Developments in IHC have lead to improved diagnostic sensitivity and cancer of the mesothelium in both cytological and histological material. Recently, the authors faction used high throughput technology to the identification of new markers that may aid in being able to tell the difference between malignant mesothelioma from ovarian and peritoneal serous carcinoma, closely related histogenesis found in tumors and antigenic profile. In addition to the improved tools available for serosal cancer diagnosis, knowledge regarding the biology of malignant mesothelioma has accumulate as of late.
