The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty so that they can air their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.
In addition to my above post, we can also include this... :-) ...
The so-called "problem" (a false and erroneous concept that the Muslims have) started way back at the Balfour Declaration by England in 1917 and then continued on through the League of Nations and then culiminated in the recognition of the newly declared land of Israel (as a sovereign state in the world) by Harry S. Truman on May 14, 1948.
At midnight on May 14, 1948, the Provisional Government of Israel proclaimed the new State of Israel. On that same date the United States, in the person of President Truman, recognized the provisional Jewish government as de facto authority of the new Jewish state (de jure recognition was extended on January 31). The U.S. delegates to the U.N. and top ranking State Department officials were angered that Truman released his recognition statement to the press without notifying them first. On May 15, 1948, the Arab states issued their response statement and Arab armies invaded Israel and the first Arab-Israeli war began.
So, they've got a lot of history to cover with the U.S. and what its policies have been, as they cover decades upon decades..., and all administrations, Republican or Democrat...
I said it, America on trial is thier main goal. Get Bush Cheney, and the CIA, show the world how unjust the American system is and call for a new world court under the control of the UN.
