UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Former President Clinton said Wednesday the United States should try to build a world of more friends and fewer enemies by following the principle that guided Americans after the devastating Asian tsunami: helping people because it was the right thing to do. At his first news conference in his new job as the top U.N. envoy for tsunami recovery, Clinton said the quick deployment of U.S. military ships and soldiers after the Dec. 26 natural disaster, the arrival of American relief workers and the donations from millions of Americans made a positive impact on worst-hit Indonesia....

The Protocols were long ago proven to be a fraud written by the Czar's secret police. In the Arab world it they are taught as fact and have even created a popular mini-series on Eyptian television produced by (you guesses it!) the Saudis. What is even more fascinating is Khadim is an ex-Iraqi...

Hatred of Jews is nothing new. It is as old as Abraham and certainly no less loathsome today than it was hundreds of years ago during the Crusades, or 60 years ago in Germany. If there has been a change, it is in the length to which anti-Semites will go to prove that they are anti-Israel and not anti-Semitic. It is acceptable, they reason, to hate Israelis without worrying that someone will call them a racist… or worse. In many ways, this hatred reached its highest point in the Holocaust, when hatred was sanctioned by a government, democratically elected to...
