1. By creating nonexistent enemies, for example, and an insecure atmosphere, they try to control all in the name of combating insecurity and terrorism.
2. The president is trying to scare the American people into believing that Al-Qaeda is the rationale for continuing the war in Iraq.
3. They do not respect the privacy of their own people. They tap telephone calls and try to control their people.
4. The president violating the law by authorizing illegal domestic wiretapping.
5. In Palestinian territory, there's horrible persecution of the Palestinians who live on their own land, and they have occupied the land. They have confiscated. They've colonized it, and they've forced Palestinians away from their homes, away from their pastures, away from their fields, cut down their olive trees and severely persecuted the Palestinians.
6. Palestine is an old wound, as old as 60 years. For 60 years these people are displaced. For 60 years these people are being killed. For 60 years on a daily basis there are conflict and terror. For 60 years, innocent women and children are destroyed and killed by helicopters and airplanes that break the house over their heads!
7. If I read this to you and didn't tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have happened by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime, Pol Pot or others, that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that's not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their own prisoners.
8. This is not Guantanamo Bay! This is not a Baghdad prison! This is not a secret prison in Europe. This is not Abu Ghraib. This is Iran! I'm duh president of this country!
9. Setting up secret prisons, abducting persons, trials, and secret punishments without any regard to due process, extensive tapping of telephone conversations, intercepting private mail, and frequent summons to police and security centers have become commonplace and prevalent.
10. Unchecked power to spy on your own people, the power to create covert prisons for secret prisoners, the torture of prisoners to extract information from them.
11. The apartheid that is perpetrated now on the Palestinians in the occupied territories is not based on racism. It's based on the desire by a minority of Israelis for Palestinian land. And in the acquisition of that land, the occupation, the confiscation, and then the colonization of that land, they are perpetuating an absolute and total division between the Israelis living on Palestinian territory and the right of Palestinians to interrelate with any Israelis who occupy their own land.
12. The Palestinian people have been displaced or are under heavy military pressure, economic siege, or are incarcerated under abhorrent conditions. The occupiers are protected and praised, while the innocent Palestinians are subjected to political, military, and propaganda onslaughts. The people of Palestine are deprived of water, electricity, and medicine for the sin of asking for freedom.
13. Iraq was occupied under the pretext of overthrowing a dictator and the existence of weapons of mass destruction. The Iraqi dictator, who had been supported by the same occupiers, was disposed of, and no weapons of mass destruction were discovered. But the occupation continues under different excuses.
14. We started the civil war; we knocked off Saddam Hussein; nothing to do with Al-Qaeda; nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction; nothing to do with 9/11.
15. Thirty-six million Americans that are going to bed hungry every night, 36 million Americans who are going -- and 12 million of those are children. We've had the total number of people that have fallen back into poverty during this Bush administration, and we have five million more people that are drop [sic] back into poverty.
16. Poverty, illiteracy, health care issues, and the gap between the poor and the rich. The situation of poverty and deprivation is very alarming.
17. Because of the administration's strategic blunders and frankly the record of incompetence in executing, you are presiding over a failed policy.
18. How can the incompetent, who cannot even manage and control themselves, rule humanity and arrange its affairs?
19. Bonus: Seriously, I don't know of any. As for homosexuality, I don't know where it is. Give me an address so that we are also aware of what happens in Iran. Mahmoud or Barney Frank?
