SUBJECT:

 REMEMBER KHOMENI WHO STARTED IT ALL 





Dear Friends,


As our "war" allegedly with bin Laden proceeds from
day to day, the news media continues to pump us with
"the story." But what we are told never mentions the
name of KHOMENI, the cleric who started it all.

As a student at Bucharest's Facultatea de Medicina
Generala in the early 1980s I noticed that many of the
Arab and Iranian students (these composed some 51% of
the class) never seemed to show up at classes. I will
not go into details, but it turns out that many were
using the faculties as cover for their real
"studies"--the art of terrorism in a camp near
Ploesti. The Brezhnev Politburo had chosen Romania and
East Germany to train any and all wanna-be terrorists,
whatever their cause, to set them loose on the West.
On the one hand, the Russians were fighting the
mujahadins in Afghanistan, on the other, they were
training Arab and Iranian terrorists in Romania and
East Germany. This should be recalled when we speak of
our "Grand Alliance" with Moslem nations. Indeed, Arab
and Iranian diplomacy centers on being on *both* sides
of an issue so that, either way, you don't lose.

When Khomeni took power in Iran he decided that it was
his mission to unite all Moslems for a holy war-- a
Jihad-- against the infidels of the West. Many Moslems
exhibited a pious side at home, but when visiting the
West they were totally debauched. This hypocricy was
not seen by Khomeni as a flaw in the Muslim faith,
serving as a social practice rather than a personal
guide. Instead, he saw it as demonstration of the
caustic power of Western cultures to corrupt the
faith. Thus, Khomeni wanted the source of this
corruption destroyed, as prescribed by the Kohran.

Our global economy depends on making people
predictable consumers. Since producer and clients may
be continents apart, a merchant must have a good idea
of how much he can expect to sell. The best way to do
this is by infusing in people a consumerist culture.
That is why more, and more, the global market is in
fact promoted as the global culture. The car you
drive, the clothing you wear, the soda you drink and
the cigarettes you smoke are all imbeded in a social
setting, a behavioral realm and a whole new set of
values, making these products vital even to your
personal identity. I will not enter into discussion of
whether we have gone too far in trying to get the
world to buy our goods. But it is important to note
that Khomeni believed that our consumerist cultural
imperialism was totally responsible for the weakness
of the Moslem faith. He and the Mullahs around him
organized a Movement of Moslem Youth Devoted to Allah
for the Restoration of the Faith. These were to become
"fighters for Allah," attacking the corruptive forces
invading the Moslem World. 

Because it did not affect Americans directly, no one
here took note of how these "fighters for Allah"
brought the flocks back into the faith. For example,
whole Algerian villages of only women, children and
old folks had their throats slit. Why? Because the men
who were migrant workers in Europe were sending
trinkets back to their families. These, the Muslim
fundamentalists saw as corrupting influences and thus
they punished the wayward sinners sending such filth
into the Moslem lands.

But the intellectual and consumerist appetite of the
Moslem World for high-tech Western modernity is
irrepressable. And so, the "fighters for Allah" were
converted into the "martyrs for Allah." Since the
sinners could not be saved from temptation, the
faithful would seek to slay the "Great Satan"-- the
USA-- that was responsible for all the corruptive
global modernization. These "martyrs for Allah" would
clense their sins in the blood of the infidels by
suicide missions which took as many Americans with
them as possible.

For two decades, since my student days in Romania, I
have watched the dilligent work of the Mullahs bear
fruit. Over that time thousands of suicide-killer
cells were composed and sent to the US, made up of
Moslems from all sects and all nations-- Moslems sans
frontieres, you might say. The Afghan War, the Gulf
War, the Balkan War and the Kosovo War all fed the
ranks of "martyrs for Allah." The KGB and the CIA
trained them as "fighters for Allah" and the clerical
fascilitators in Iran grouped them into "martyr for
Allah" cells, ready to clense their sins in the blood
of the infidels as they go to meet Allah. These
missions guarantee the "martyrs" entry into Paradise.

While totally uninhibited in sending young men and
boys to die on terrorist missions in the belly of the
beast, the Great Satan, the Mullahs themselves are not
willing to share their fate. They reason that without
them the faithful would drift into the grasp of the
Great Satan. And so, just as we had Muslims Afghanis
fighting against the KGB (trained by the CIA) in
Afghanistan and at the same time other Muslim Arabs
trained by the Romanian Securitate and East German
Stasis to perpetrate acts of terror in the West, we
now have the Iranian Mullahs organizing Bin Laden's
cells while also negotiating with the US for their
participation in our "Grand Alliance." So desperate is
the Dept. of State for "more flags"-- especially
Moslem ones-- in its Grand Alliance, that it forgets
that it is the essence of Arab and Iranian diplomacy
to be represented on both sides so as to best control
the situation and never be defeated.

I worked hard for Pres. Bush's election. I admire him
and his courage and his down to earth openess. I also
think that his Cabinet is composed of excellent
people. I in no way weaver in my support of him. But,
it is as a loyal friend and supporter that I must say
that what he is doing in Afghanistan is "BUSH-IT"!

Why? Because you can't kill a snake by stomping on its
middle. That only leaves the head free to sink its
poisonous fangs into your leg. Caught between DoD's
recommendation for decisive action and DoS's
recommendation to "adapt" his policy in order to get
"more flags" on board his Grand Coalition, Pres. Bush
pulled an *LBJ in Vietnam* move and split right down
the middle. To do something while not straining his
Moslem "allies," Pres. Bush ordered our most modern
aircraft to use top of the line misilles and bombs,
going after terrorism's "middle management," bin Laden
& Co. Where does that get us? Let us say we kill him,
so what? And what can we expect in retribution from
the Mullahs in Iran if we succeed, given that they
have more operatives here in the US than in
Afghanistan?

In medicine you are taught that above all don't let
what you do make things worse than they were before
you intervened. Perhaps Mr. Bush would do well to
consider a few questions:

(1) What would the Mullahs in Teharan think if we go
after their operatives in the Afghani desert
mountains, once again as we did in Vietnam, using
assets that cost far more than the targets we risk
these assets on to destroy?

Consider: When LBJ chose to respond to the Gulf of
Tonkin incident with major airstrikes on minor
targets, Beijing and Hanoi concluded that the US was
not serious about drawing the line in Vietnam. When
the US sent troops to defend South Vietnam against
North Vietnamese invasion instead of blocking Hanoi's
ports of entry for supplies, Hanoi concluded that we
did not have the resolve to see the war through to the
end. In light of that past history, what do you think
the Mullahs are thinking when they see billion dollars
aircraft bombing abandoned mud shacks? 

(2) The biggest open secret is that the terrorists'
greatest success was not in the destruction of
buildings and the taking of lives but in the
disruption of our economy. Recall that our global
economy is, in their eyes, the work of Satan. So,
given our economy's dependence on an open society in
order to function, what can we expect them to target
next, now that our wrath is expressed only on desert
mountains in order to appease our Moslem "allies"? 

(3) Given our unalterable vulnerability to the
"martyrs for Allah" cells (since our economy can only
function in an open society) shouldn't we let go of
the middle of the snake and aim for his head? 

(4) Since American nuclear power was never tested
after WWII, its real power is not in bombing but in
deterrence. For 50 years the Soviets tried to defeat
the US in many ways; but they never attacked America
or the West because they knew that we had invested as
much as needed to maintain destructive superiority.
Yet, why should we convince the Mullahs as we
convinced Hanoi that, to quote Le Duan: it doesn't
matter if America has the means to win, it doesn't
have the will to win?

(5) Bin Laden's spokesman said today that they "have
many Moslem youth who love death as much as Americans
love life." But the Mullahs want to live as much as we
do. So, why let our strategy polarize the Moslem
states right out of the Grand Alliance because of our 
protracted shadow-war against shadowy targets? Already
the Pakistani head of state called for an end to the
bombing.

We are seen as the big bully chasing the little desert
rat. The longer he lives, the bigger he becomes in the
eyes and the dearer in the hearts of the Muslim masses
that today are outraged by his haneous crime. This war
could soon become a full blown war between the Moslem
World and the Judeo-Christian World. The longer we
prevent the Moslem states from playing both sides for
advantage, as is their habit, the greater the chances
that they will jump to the other side to avoid
internal political collapse.

Lastly, as a victim of Yalta, I fully stand with Prime
Minister Sharon. The Munich analogy was most
appropriate, for without Munich there would have been
no Yalta. Because Chairman Arafat was too afraid to
accept the Camp David offer, last year, without the
Arab states that recommended he accept publicly
standing by him, he has lost much power to Hamas and
other agents of the Mullahs. For us to now trade
Israel's security for an imaginary state led by a
politically dead man is the ultimate betrayal. It
confirms what all the world believed since the turn of
the 20th Century: that America never learns because it
thinks itself so big and strong that it doesn't have
to learn. For us to betray Israel would not appease
the Moslem World. This is not a political war, it is a
religious war-- it's not Intifada, it is Jihad.
Instead our feeding Israel to the Palestinians by
forcing it to accept a Palestinian state right now
would confirm the Moslem view that America indeed is
the "Great Satan." If we, like our Moslem "allies,"
waffle on our friends, as they do, then they will see
us as indeed an evil power. For they, being weak, need
to do that, but we must do it only because of our evil
nature. As small states, they feel justified in using
deception and betrayal to get their way; but if we do
the same, then in their eyes we are no better than
them. We may never get their loyalty, but God help us
if we lose their respect by feeding Israel to them
through weakening of our support for the Jewish State.

In the final analysis, all we can do is point our
ICBMs at Teharan, where the Mullahs are, and at
Baggdad, where their agents are, and hope that they
heed our warning that should another terrorist
incident be visited on us we will vaporize them. They
are not dumb; they know full well that a nuclear
tipped ICBM packs a lot more bang than a thousand fuel
laden airplanes. They know full well that they can do
no more against our ICBMs than we can do against their
"martyrs for Allah" cells. 

We are the ONLY superpower in the world. That indeed
places terrible responsibilities on us. But it is not
our responsability to sacrife our best men just to
catch and "bring to justice" terrorism's middle
management. I do not want to kill innocent Moslem
women and children. But I'm not going to allow Moslems
to kill American innocent women and children because I
don't want to kill Moslem innocents. If we continue on
our present path, we will be seen as a big country of
little indecisive people who send their disadvantaged
to fight a disadvantageous war. But if we pull back
our men, point our misilles at Teharan and Baggdad,
give a clear warning that we will launch upon the next
event and-- above all-- SHOW FULL NATIONAL RESOVE, we
will not have to get Bin Laden because the Mullahs
will always find "martyrs for Allah" ready to get the
"martys for Allah" that risk making the Mullahs
"martyrs for Allah."  

I wish you good luck in the coming catastrophes, for
it seems to be all that's left to save us.
