"Democracy - It's not God's gift
Gwynne Dyer
01/26/05 'NZH' -- Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of the organisation that calls itself 'al Qaeda in Iraq', says: 'We have declared a fierce war on this evil principle of democracy.'
Zarqawi is the bogeyman that the United States Government blames for almost everything that has gone wrong in Iraq, but he does speak essentially the same language as President Bush.

Betreff: The "Terminator"?
Ambassador Ditz,
AS A CANADIAN, a citizen of a fellow country which has evolved....has
come to realize that Capital Punishment has no place in the world of
civilized men and women, I ask that you pass along to the appropriate
officials my desire to have Arnold Schwarzenegger (Governor of
California) denounced, degraded, and subsequently expelled as a citizen
of Austria.
I make this request on the grounds that Mr. Schwarzenegger, as a citizen
of your country, is engaging in an act of state-sanctioned killing.
Further, this takes place not in war-time nor under any special
circumstances regarding "terrorism". Therefor I submit that Mr.
Schwarzenegger, as an Austrian, a country which has clearly affirmed
that civilized men do not engage in such actions, has turned his back on
you, your country, and your most sacred ideals.
I place the suggestion at your feet that such behaviour does not befit
an Austrian. I would further suggest that Austria should not be seen to
be "proud" of such an individual. Therefore, it is in Austria's best
interest to distance itself from any further affiliation with
individuals who proscribe capital punishment. Austria's own history is
all to clear about the shame such an association is capable of creating.
Thank you for any consideration you may give my appeal. It is important
to me, but it is more important to history and to the evolution of
civilization itself that you give my request more than passing notice.
With Great Respect,
Gary D. Williams

Rumsfeld scraps Munich visit over war probe
21 January 2005
MUNICH - United States Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has cancelled a planned visit to Munich.
Rumsfeld has informed the German government via the US embassy he will not take part at the Munich Security Conference in February, conference head Horst Teltschik said.
The New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights filed a complaint in December with the Federal German Prosecutor's Office against Rumsfeld accusing him of war crimes and torture in connection with detainee abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison."
