Columnist Abduaziz al-Maqaleh says in his weekly column this week I presume there is no power in the world capable of marring the image of the United States of America as much as the present American administration does.
I also presume that this administration has excellently succeeded in deforming the most important bases this great power was depending on, namely, democracy and adoption of the call for human rights. What has been happening in Palestine and Iraq is the biggest conclusive evidence on that purposeful deformation which goes beyond of even the intentions of America's enemies in this respect. What is happening in those two countries instigates the feelings of anger and tension in all Arab and Islamic countries and also inside the United States itself.
Where are the human rights in the American administration shameful silence regarding the killing of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and the evasion from condemnation of the state terror of the Zionists? Where is the democracy vis-a-vis of the massacres perpetrated in Iraq that has changed with all its ethnic and sectarian groups into a daily war field expressing the refusal of the foreign presence and the democracy delivered by bombs and missiles?
