The disproptionate attacks increase

Welcome to Spirit21
They say that there is a glass ceiling for me because (as Michael Moore would put it) I am not a stupid white man. Another they says I should temper my passions and desires, my dreams and ambitions because I am not a brown be-turbaned man. Some Theys say that I should fight my oppression, that I should rout it and defy it. Some say I face no oppression, that I should be happy that I am blessed and should accept my fortunate and happy lot. If you are not with us, they say, you are with the others, and they are wrong.
Spirit21 is a space to bring colour to this monochromatic world. I don't believe that black or white are the only options. Why not pinks, blues, yellows or browns? I am not us, nor am I Other.
I am me

Lebanon has been crippled and has been brought down to its knees. US will not intervene to bring a ceasefire. They are watching and having fun.
How about the Saudia Government announces that it will stop all oil production indefinetly until Israel moves out of Lebanon & Gaza, return all captured Muslims and last but not the least pay USD 1 Billion each to Lebanon & Palestine for ruining their infrastructure. For every day this is not agreed upon the stakes increase by USD 1 Billion.
See the fun then.. Condi Rice will be in Israel in the next flight and see that they get out once and for all.
US & Israel will be then at their knees begging and pleading for oil production to start.
