Sanctions won't help

 

Inculcating a feeling of pride in national heritage in the hearts of the youth of a nation has always been one of the most important goals of education systems. Presidents, Prime Ministers and Kings, throughout history, have looked on with beaming smiles of pride and satisfaction, as neat rows of myriad children of the nation, all dressed the same, all singing the same rhythmic heroic anthems march past in perfect unison, all saluting the great leader. The great leader is always aware how much those little children owe him; he is their father even their god.

Such processions are usually followed by the brilliant, brave troops marching by row after row. They are followed by the latest weapons of the nation; long range missiles, tanks, bombs etc. etc.

These are the pictures that covered movie screens before the 1st and 2nd world wars. The result of all this was a great propaganda machine that convinced the nation they should go to war and die for their nation.

These are the scenes of N.Korea and Iran that face us regularly on our TV screens. These are the nations who have the Atom bomb. What do you think they're going to do with it? Of course the leaders of those nations tell us it's the will of the nation. The nation, the masses are calling for war on Israel, on the world, on the US, the nation demands war not the leaders.

When leaders start to shout that it's the nation who wants war we can be sure there will be war.

Sanctions won't help because that will only strengthen the will of the brave nation and make them feel that the cause they're fighting for more just.

Leaders like Kim Jong, Ahmadinajad and other dictators throughout history have mislead their nation. They have taken away their minds and made them into automatons. The danger isn't the Atomic bomb it's the mad nation they've created.

Statement by Palestinians who denied involvement in the Kidnapping.

“The Committees activity is clear as day, and despite our hatred toward the United States for its support of Israel, we do not support the kidnapping of innocent American citizens. We focus our struggle on the occupation.”

America supports both Israel and the Palestinians. This makes nonsense out of the above statement and makes the kidnapping of the American teacher working for the Palestinians an act of total stupidity.
