If only the westernised Goraagochaaters , illiterates, could read this and see and FEEL the Truth & Lies.

Mullah-bashing or Islam-bashing is done precisely to shield the westoxicted thugs like Tattoo Musharraf, Khotaa shaukat-aziz ( Thugs like Pinochet, Samoza Marcos, the Irani ShawH, Laughing-cow Mubarak, Kaafir Saudi godfather, Muammar LagaRRbagga Gadhaafee,and such Uncle Toms.)

Remove Goraagoochaaters & the problems will be like ``poof`` : India, Sri-Lanka,B/desh,
Myanmaar, Malaysia and Iran are just next door and for a GGC-cure excellent places for higher-education..rather than studying ghetto-subjects like pol. sci soc.sci and eng-LitleechuRR at Totaa-Mainaa univ. at $s costs.

Here is a small truth surrounded by Bush`s Blairing WALL of thousand -- BIG LIES:

``The suicide bomber blew up his 1,000lbs of explosives at 10 minutes to nine. Between six and nine in the morning are the most dangerous hours in Baghdad - after the fajr (dawn) prayers which the killers attend - and my window rattled in its frame several times, an Iraqi heartbeat that signals death.

A great drift of grey-black smoke drifted up from the walled-off, Tigris-side compound where the Americans and the British and the new American-chosen Iraqi government have their headquarters.

By the time I crossed the river, it was the same old story; body parts, blood congealing on the hot road - Iraqi blood, of course - smouldering cars and smashed concrete, and policemen and soldiers shooting wildly into the air.

``I saw the suicide bomber,`` a driver told me in a bland, disinterested sort of way. ``He was driving an old Land Cruiser and weaving through the cars at the checkpoint and people thought he was queue-jumping, trying to get to the checkpoint in front of them. No one fired at him; the shooting came after the explosion, and then it was too late.``

Most of those who died were Iraqis seeking work from the Iraqi authorities. Two were Iraqi policemen (salary: (pounds sterling 118 a month). And one, of course, was the bomber. So whose severed hand lay on the road beside the blasted concrete walls?

``The forces of evil,`` was how Iraq`s prime minister, the former CIA operative Iyad Allawi, described the murderer.

He visited the scene, though he was mercifully spared a visit to the Yarmouk hospital where one Iraqi arrived with his arm a mangled stump (was it his hand on the road?) and another with blood seeping from a fearful gash in his neck. There were more than 50 wounded.

Colonel Robert Campbell, of the US Army`s ``Task Force 3/8`` said the blast-proof barriers - where his men were ``protecting Iraq`s young government`` - saved other lives. He may have been right. But the real reason for the bloodbath was about the isolation of Iraq`s new government. This is the fourth checkpoint bombing around the same compound and the purpose is obvious.

Iraqi officials cannot leave their Crusader-style fortress with its massive ramparts and walls. Ordinary Iraqis must go to them. And queue. And wait. And walking up to those checkpoints is becoming a macabre, frightening experience.

If the insurgents cannot get inside the walls, they can at least imprison those inside by attacking the perimeter, cut them off from the rest of Iraq, make the government`s presence irrelevant to the millions of Iraqis who, so Mr Blair was assuring us, are going to enjoy ``democracy``.

But in truth, the authorities here are already cut off from the rest of Iraq.

Baquba is run by armed men. Insurgents control Samara and Fallujah and Ramadi, and Muqtada Sadr`s militia control the centre of Najaf. ``(Robert Fisk in Iraq)

sometimes the truth is so very precious, that it has to be guarded by a wall of lies.
and only the brave and the foolish breach this wall.
