		<description><![CDATA[So...well.  Don&#039;t worry.  No one can destroy Islam.  You see....Allah didn&#039;t write this amazing parable and decide to play the role of loser.

We muslims know that.  This is just the precursor to his victory.  Hard to watch I know.  Hard to watch.

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone of independent mind - that is, those not taken in by the propaganda of the ruling clique - can recognise what lay behind the wiping of Yugoslavia from the map and the follow-up rape of Iraq.  

In both cases it was to serve the interests of &#039;big oil&#039;.

Yes, the war was precisely to get a law passed - a law that gives the ruling power what it wants under a cloak of legitmacy.  It would allow the exploitation of Iraqi oil, worth trillions of dollars (and growing with the increasing price of oil) for the benefit of the multinational oil companies.

Energy is essential to the economies of the West and you can get no more important than that.  It is certainly worth the torture, death and destruction that has been paid and which will continue to be paid.  

This price is NOT being paid by the ruling power junta, but by people whom the junta regard as expendable (and that includes American service personnel), what they term &quot;collateral damage&quot; in their scheme of things.]]></description>
