We Are Compassionate. Why Are You Killing Us?
by Paul Levy
What is being played out in Burma is a living
"symbol" of a deeper, mythic process which is
currently enacting itself in a variety of
scenarios around the world. Being a timeless,
archetypal process that has materialized into
our time-bound reality, it can be seen as an
amplified version of what can happen [...]
We can only recognize what is symbolically
being revealed to us if we realize that the
people in Burma, both the monks and the
military thugs, are not separate from ourselves.

After a while, one begins to realize that
things must be narrowed down for those
that can only take one or two things at a
time those who are so deeply entrenched
into a system that they don't even
understand but will defend to the death.

Iran shelling targets
deeper inside northern Iraq
http://tinyurl.com/yvzz4p
Iranian artillery shells landed in the
Haj Umran area, hitting targets on
two mountains and villages
abandoned from earlier attacks,
he said, adding that they reached
as far as 17 kilometres (10.5 miles)
into Iraqi territory.
Iran confirmed for the first time on
Sunday that it had been shelling
camps of Kurdish militants inside
northern Iraq, saying the local
authorities had not listened
to its warnings.
The militant Kurdish separatist
group PJAK -- linked to Turkey's
outlawed Kurdistan Workers'
Party (PKK) -- has been behind
a string of deadly attacks on
security forces in northwestern
Iran in recent months.
Iraqi Kurdish officials said last
month that hundreds of Iraqi Kurds
had fled remote mountain villages
near the country's eastern frontier
after Iranian gunners targeted
separatist guerrilla bases.

label "mercenary" firms, Blackwater executives
have even turned the grey area in which they
operate into a brand asset. Blackwater has
been quietly marketing its services to foreign
governments and corporations through an

The Mercenary Revolution:
Flush with Profits from the Iraq War,
Military Contractors See a World

If you think the U.S. has only 160,000 troops
in Iraq, think again.
With almost no congressional oversight and
even less public awareness, the Bush
administration has more than doubled the
size of the U.S. occupation through the use
of private war companies.
There are now almost 200,000 private "contractors"
deployed in Iraq by Washington. This means that
U.S. military forces in Iraq are now outsized by a
coalition of billing corporations whose actions
go largely unmonitored and whose crimes are
virtually unpunished. ...

Tipping Point
Where and how to go on in Iraq.
By Carter Andress
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=Custer+Battles
[...] The time is drawing near when the role of
contractor combatant will fade away,
hopefully permanently. A common joke among the
7,000 or so American and British contractor
combatants in Iraq is that we are working our way
out of a job. But just as when I became a federal
whistleblower, and lost my job while getting
Custer Battles banned from government contracting
for fraud, the need for Western contractors in Iraq
to be held accountable for criminal violations of
the rules of the use of force is critical.
This is important not only for justice to be
served, but to set an example of the U.S.
rule of law for the Iraqi people. And there
is a mechanism for this purpose:
the Military Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction Act (MEJA). [...]

Ohiyesa remembers the past (Sioux)
---------------------------------------------------
As a child I understood how to give;
I have forgotten this grace since I became
civilized. I lived the natural life, whereas
now I live the artificial. Any pretty pebble
was valuable to me then; every growing
tree an object of reverence. Now I worship
with the white man before a painted
landscape whose value is estimated in
dollars! Thus the Indian is reconstructed,
as the natural rocks are ground to powder
and made into artificial blocks which may
be built into the walls of modern society.
The first American mingled with his pride
a singular humility. Spiritual arrogance
was foreign to his nature and teaching.
He never claimed that the power of
articulate speech was proof of superiority
over the dumb creation; on the other
hand, it is to him a perilous gift.
He believes profoundly in silence - the sign
of a perfect equilibrium. Silence is the
absolute poise or balance of body, mind,
and spirit. The man who preserves his
selfhood is ever calm and unshaken by
the storms of existence - not a leaf,
as it were, astir on the tree; not a ripple
upon the surface of the shining pool - his,
in the mind of the unlettered sage, is the
ideal attitude and conduct of life.
If you ask him: "What is silence?"
he will answer: "It is the Great Mystery"
"The holy silence is His voice!" If you ask:
"What are the fruits of silence?" he will say:
"They are self-control, true courage or
endurance, patience, dignity, and reverence.
Silence is the cornerstone of character."
"Guard your tongue in youth," said the
old chief, Wabashaw, "and in age you
may mature a thought that will be of
service to your people!"
------------------------------------------------
[] From Charles Alexander Eastman,
The Soul of the Indian, 1911. []
Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa) was born
near Redwood Falls, Minnesota, in 1858.
His father was a full-blooded Sioux,
his mother the daughter of an army
officer, granddaughter of a famous
Sioux chief. As a boy he lived still the
free nomadic life of the Sioux; later,
however, he took up the ways of the
white man, went to college.
He graduated from Dartmouth
College, N.H., in 1887, and studied
medicine at Boston University.

Now that the ongoing war in Iraq is officially
regarded as a "Bring It On" front-line attack
against terrorism, doesn't this send a confusing
message to the innocent, law abiding, and
peace-loving average citizen of Iraq, that our,
'coalition of the willing' forces, having once
been set on "liberating" the people of Iraq from
daily fear and oppression, are now intentionally
transforming their embattled country into a magnet
for all sorts of violent extremist elements and
terrorists? How is the value of 'quality of life'
measured and rated according to this evolving,
geopolitical "new world order" standard?!
