"Tittuba the Ind'n Woem'n,"[1] the famous slave of the Salem witchcraft trials is recorded in history in only a few places. She has been stylized in various books, written about by myriad historians, and finally popularized to the modern reader in Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Tituba, "the Indian slave," played a crucial role in one of the more famous events in early colonial history. Tituba was the arguable instigator of the Salem witch trials. As the first confessor, Tituba ignited a fire of witch-hunts that would grow to consume many of Salem's female residents, either their reputations or lives. Tituba has a very obscure identity, even today, scholars have little understanding as to who she really was. Unfortunately Tituba's contemporaries offer little help, identifying her only as "Indian" and providing little other data in court records. Tituba, it appears, lead a simple life, of little note, but her important role in the witch trials still begs the question: "Who was she?" Questions to her identity have been asked and answered time and again by scholars. Both scholars and literary artists answer often too incompletely and too much in contradiction to one another to be of much use. This debate still stirs in historical circles as to who Tituba was. I have read many of the works published over the last 30 years relating to Tituba and her identity. With the knowledge from this reading, I attempt to lend here to bring together the best of scholars' answers. It is my hope, that through this discussion an understanding can gained of who Tituba was, who she is, and who from our theories might be.
Of the large volume of writing regarding the Salem witch trials during the last 30 years, I have picked 4 works that I view as key to the understanding of Tituba's identity to historians today. Each of these uses Tituba's stories to different ends, however, all are comparable under the pretense of understanding her identity.
A small group of authors set precedence 30 years ago for much of the discussion that was about to ensue. Two of this group of authors I have used extensively here, and others I make reference to throughout. One of these two is the aforementioned Chadwick Hansen with his "The Metamorphosis of Tituba, or why American Intellectuals Can't Tell an Indian Witch from a Negro." Second, is Elain G. Breslaw and her works "Tituba's Confession: The Multicultural Dimensions of the 1692 Salem Witch-Hunt" and Tituba, Reluctant witch of Salem: Devilish Indians and Puritan fantasies. Breslaw writes these works containing her work connecting Tituba to the South Caribbean state of Barbados and it's slave trade with the colonies through the 17th century.
Two later works come from Bernard Rosenthal and my most recently Veta Smith Tucker. Rosenthal writes, "Tituba's Story," attacking many other recent scholars' arguments, all the time referring as much as possible to the primary sources. Rosenthal focuses on the disproving of many of the unjustified myths surrounding Tituba, and offers his critical opinion on how these have evolved. Rosenthal is highly critical of any speculation surrounding Tituba's identity, and does his best to stay close to the factual records. Finally, Veta Smith Tucker, an African American Literature, English, and Women's Studies professor, searches studies Tituba's disappearance from the records following her indictment. In addition, Tucker discusses the identity which has since evolved for her from our scarce knowledge. Veta offers the most African favoring account of Tituba's origins, and summarizes many possible theories surrounding Tituba's identity and her possible connection to Africa.
The story of Tituba begins with the story of the Salem witch trials. Hearings, which Arthur Miller called "one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history,"[2] began in 1692 with Tituba among the first of the accused. Tituba was a slave at the Parris house, the house in which the initial girls first fell possessed. These girls, curious about their futures, had tried to divine their fortunes with an egg in a cup – their makeshift crystal ball. [3] Receiving from this divination visions of coffins instead of lovers, the girls were "literally frightened… out of their wits and into the hysterical seizure which were so prominent a feature of the Salem trials."[4] From here Parris sought the help of his fellow ministers and that of the church.[5] Through fasting and prayer Parris hoped to help the girls. Unfortunately, Parris's methods proved of little avail, and Parris's neighbor, Mary Sibley, took then a different course of action. Ms. Sibley addressed the slaves of Parris's house – Indian John and Tituba – for help, who then are recorded to have attempted to divine who the children's aggressors might be via the use of a "witch-cake."[6] Why Sibley sought help from these two slaves, and who among them first suggested divination through a witch-cake my research did not yield. Regardless, this cake was then fed to the household dog, taken perhaps as a witch familiar, from which the 3 hoped to learn the name of the witch possessing these young women.[7] Not long after, the records show an arrest warrant issued on Feb. 29th 1691 for the arrest of "Sarah Osburne and titibe Indian," thus beginning the involvement of the courts. Initial hearings began, and almost immediately, Tituba had confessed, naming more witches, and beginning the cycle of witch accusation, later termed a "witch craze" for its severity at Salem. Interesting to note, some believe, Tituba's testimony was motivated by threats of her master.[8] This confession was used, not only to convict Tituba, but also to implicate 3 other women. Tituba's questioning also revealed that she had signed the devil's list next to the names of 9 other witches, one of which she could identify as "a tall man with white hair from Boston."[9] Following questioning, on the 9th of May, Tituba was indicted. Of this indictment, the records lend only a single sheet of paper: her official indictment, on the reverse of which is written "Ignoramus." Some have interpreted this word to suggest that Tituba was acquitted.[10] On this suggestion, Rosenthal offers some explanation and caution. Rosenthal cites other cases in which "Ignoramus" verdicts were assigned, with or without other true verdicts: in all of the cases he mentions, the accused were hanged. He suggests, that from this word alone, we cannot judge Tituba's fate.[11] It is generally accepted that she was acquitted, and Veta Smith Tucker argues the records show, "after 13 months in jail, an unnamed person came forward, paid £7 for Tituba's release, and removed her from the site".[12] Finally, the last record relating to Tituba after this, is to note she was present in 1697 for public redress when several accusers publicly repented their mistakes. Neither were any relations present in 1704, when the Massachusetts General court reversed the bill of attainder regarding witchcraft allegations, or again in 1711 when it compensated those without estates (like Tituba) the cost of imprisonment.[13] From this point on, Tituba disappears from any records, and the rest of what we know about comes from secondary sources, both historical and fictional.
Following Tituba's disappearance form the records Tituba has appeared works both of fictional and historical natures. In his work, a scholar, Chadwick Hansen, follows the long trail Tituba has led through literature. Hansen's "The Metamorphosis of Tituba" focuses on Tituba's "metamorphosis" through history from an Indian, to half-Indian half-Negro, to full Negro and then back again to Carib Indian in recent depictions. Hansen discussed mostly her racial appearance over time, however his work gives us great insight into how Tituba was seen in general throughout historical literature and allows us appropriate reference for a modern discussion.
The first example of Tituba's appearance in literature Hansen refers to is Charles W. Upham's "Lectures on Witchcraft" (Boston, 1831) and Salem Witchcraft (Boston, 1867). In the latter, Tituba appears, mentioned as "spoken of as having come from New Spain … that is, the Spanish west Indies … and, in all probability, contributed [to the scare], from the wild and strange superstitions prevalent among their native tribes." Upham portrays Tituba in his Salem Witchcraft, only in short mention, describing her assumed origin and magical practices. Not but a year later, Tituba appears in a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who provides, as Chadwick Hansen said, "a more colorful, and more stereotyped, suggestion in his verse-drama, Giles Corey of the Salem Farms." Tituba appears in the Dramatis Personae as "an Indian Woman," but as Hansen notes, it is later revealed she is "half-Indian." Longfellow tells of her mother, an Indian, and her father "a man all black and fierce."[14] Hansen sights still other sources to his own purpose. I have omitted reference to the rest of his sources which do not serve as well for background. I have chose here to focus on other more recen tscholarly depictions of Tituba, and use Hoofer's aforementioned sources for reference purposes. Good to note however is Tituba's appearance in Arthur Miller's The Crucible and her following recognition in John Demon's "Underlying Themes in the Witchcraft of Seventeenth-Century New England," at which "her metamorphosis was complete" from Indian to Negro, Hansen suggests. Arthur Miller characterizes Tituba in his popular play as a "Negro slave" and draws pictures that from which some have given her the label of "voodoo princess."[15] This is important to note, because it is from this picture of "Negro voodoo princess" that much of recent scholarly work begins and reacts to.
This essay's concern with Tituba and her appearance in scholarly literature begins in the 1970's with Chadwick Hansen's "The Metamorphosis of Tituba," through Elaine G. Breslaw's article "Tituba's Confession: the multilingual dimensions to the 1692 Salem Witchhunts." I include also variety of other articles including my most recent article – a work predating this essay by only a few months –Veta Smith Tucker's, "Purloined Identity: The Racial Metamorphosis of Tituba of Salem Village." From this, a diverse and blurry picture of the slave Tituba can be acquired. It is that picture, which is here broken down to its arguments and hopefully brought into a greater light of understanding.
Our hard evidence surrounding Tituba consists of a few scattered facts. It is recorded that she lived in the household of the Reverend Samuel Parris, as a slave. Her prior whereabouts, origin, and ethnicity are all disputed. The records lend no indication of her age. [16] She was accused of witchcraft in February of 1962 and confessed in March. Lastly, we know she is tied to the witch trails by her persecution and also by her own claims of torture and affliction at the hands of witches. From these understandings scholars and artists speculated and theorized for two centuries. Here, other authors theories are compared and contrasted in hopes of bringing a clearer picture of our Tituba.
The authors lend their opinions, often conflicting, and leave a confused sense of who Tituba was. From this blurry picture, I lay out here, the multiple views taken regarding her magic, marital status, linguistical disputes surrounding her name and other records, and finally the two biggest questions: her race and origin. All of the scholars discussed comment on most of these views either in passing or direct quote. In each passage, reference is given to those authors who most thoroughly discussed the subject in question. The goal through this discussion facilitates an understanding of who Tituba was, who Tituba is to use now, and who from our theories might be.
Worth discussing here, is the confusion and assumption that, at one time, surrounded Tituba's magical skills. Specifically, Tituba is remembered by literature in reference to two accounts of magic: the first, the Parris girls divining of their fortunes using a raw egg in a glass. The second is Tituba's association with the witch-cake used to discover the girls' aggressors. Regarding Tituba's proclaimed magical talents, Chadwick Hansen discusses the issue most directly. Other scholars allude often to Tituba's magical power and it's origin as either of Indian or African nature. One such example of this allusion is in Erikson's Wayward Puritans: "Tituba herself, a woman who had grown up among the rich colors and imaginative legends of Barbados and who was probably acquainted with some form of voodoo."[17] This is just one of many examples where authors both in the historical and literary context, refer to Tittuba's claimed magicial abilities. Hansen disputes the level of Tituba's involvement, arguing, that from the records, Tituba was in both remembered cases not an instigator of magic. Referring to the first instance, the girls alone are thought to have attempted to divine their own futures. They used what should have been a well-known folk method of fortune telling. In regards to the second act, the "witch-cake," scholars commonly refer to Parris's own diary where he attests to Mary Sibley contacting first the two slaves. It might be assumed here, that she may have been more of the motivation behind the cake seeing her initial action.[18] In his second point, Hansen contends that Tituba in fact was not shown in records as possessing extraordinary magical talent, but rather, the "magic" with which she was associated was no more than folk methods and lore. Hansen says "The egg and glass is an English folk method of divining," and the cake was "an old English recipye for witch-finding."[19] Tituba, in Hansen's eyes, had basis to being associated with many magical powers. This is a drastic difference from many other portrayals that link her to all sorts of magical acts that began the trials. Tituba is cited as "idling with the little girls" during which she "yielded to the temptation to show the children tricks and spells, fragments of something like voodoo remembered from the Barbados,"[20] and in "The Crucible" to having held Sabbats with the local town girls.[21] Breslaw discusses what she terms as Tituba's familiarity with practices derived from three cultures [English, Indian and African]" justifying the existence of such knowledge by "the events of 1692."[22] I would argue our modern non-belief in a fantastical world plus most scholars' admonition of Tituba's seemingly innocent interaction with magic involving these witch trials, to have removed any solid claims of magical origin from Tituba's image in modern scholarship. Finally, Breslaw also attests to Tittuba's lack of magical involvement:
It is unlikely that Tituba or Jon were known for their skill in magic before 1692. There is not documentary or trial evidence that Tituba participated in occult rituals before that year. On the contrary, there is every indication that she lived an unremarkable life until the last week of February 1962.[23]
Modern scholars take what seems to be a unified stand in discounting magic from Tituba's identity. Magic was once a point of dispute, and continues to be referenced to in literature, but is something that scholars agree has most likely little basis. I found it almost universally assumed that magic offers little evidence in defining Tituba's character, and that she herself was involved in very little magic during her life.
A point on which historians have more varied opinions is the existence of her husband. By some it is simply taken as fact that Tituba had a husband, that being John Indian, while yet others have provided a more skeptical opinion. Breslaw, for example, seems to take it as fact, that John and Tituba were husband and wife. She takes this view, likely, I argue, because it fits nicely in her theory to have John and Tituba both originate from Barbados. Breslaw writes, "Little is known about Tituba's background beyond the fact that she and another slave, John Indian, who became her husband."[24] Breslaw assumes it a common fact, and footnotes to other secondary sources who provide "commentary on Tituba and John's married status."[25] There are however others who find no credulity in denoting John and Tituba as husband and wife. In example of this view, Rosenthal writes, "there is no evidence that Tituba and John were married, or even cohabiting, although almost every scholar assumes, without proof, that a conjugal relationship existed."[26] Rosenthal gives us greater detail in his footnotes, justifying his argument by his search of the "Salem Witchcraft Papers," in which he rightly cites that Tituba was referred to as the slave of Samuel Parris, and not as the wife of a husband as other women were. Rosenthal admits "servant status may have overtaken marital" in precedence for such legal documents, however he concludes "the burden of proof … remains with those who clam that Tituba and John were married." Finally, others, such as Tucker in her "Purloined Identity" strangely seem to ignore Tituba's relation to John completely. Tucker mentions how "no one came forward representing Tituba's family," and discusses at length Tituba's relation to the community and Parris. She makes reference to family, yet she neither supports nor denies claims to Tituba having any family relations, husband or otherwise. Such non-mention of John during her discussion of Tituba's relations could suggest Tucker's ambiguity at least regarding John. I must concede, that without an exhaustive search, or more scholarly reading on my part, I cannot wholeheartedly support either theory. However, beyond numerous scholarly references to their implied relationship, I was not able to find any evidence of such in my readings of source material. I also have myself read through most of the material referring to Tituba contained in "Salem Witchcraft Papers," and not found any reference of Tituba and John Indian existing as man and wife. I am then contented at the writing of this essay and do conclude with Bernard Rosenthal that Tituba and John Indian were not linked in the bonds of marriage, and the burden of such proof lies on the shoulders of those who claim such.[27]
One of the most interesting arguments of modern scholarship centers around Tituba's name itself. The debate centers mostly on research stemming from Hoffer, who uses linguistical grounds to base Tituba's origin in the Caribbean. Hoffer identifies Tituba's name as "a Yoruba name."[28] Several scholars site his work repeatedly, including Tucker remarking how "This new linguistic evidence might put all doubts to rest about Tituba's African identity."[29] Hoffer's work however is not universally accepted among scholars. Of those I've read, one stands out in particular opposition to this theory. Bernard Rosenthal refutes Hoffer on three grounds. One, he finds the lack of a dependable spelling of Tituba's name in the court records unable to support this theory. He writes: "In a quick survey of The Salem Witchcraft Papers, I counted more than forty occurrences of Tituba's name, only thirteen of which carried the"uba"ending needed for the etymological argument."[30] Tituba, in the original court records is identified as Titiba, Tituba, Tittiba, Tittuba, or Titipa. Such a variety of spellings "in an age of haphazard orthography" were common, as such it is impossible to base a theory on the name alone. [31] Two, Hansen attacks Hoffers week basis again: "there can be no basis for attributing an individual's heritage to three letters ("uba") in a name."[32] Rosenthal expresses his frustration, that Hoffer is perhaps stretching the evidence to declare that this name is a Yoruba name based on it's consequential possibility as a proper Yoruba word construction. Lastly, Rosenthal argues that naming was, and is arbitrary, and taking also into consideration Tituba's recorded existence as a slave, Rosenthal writes that no basis can be drawn of ethnicity from a name that might be so arbitrarily assigned. Rosenthal more crudely states: "what is to prevent a white owner from naming his female slave simply according to his fancy? … Slave masters who could rape women with impunity could surely name them as they chose."[33] Hoffer is then left with a fatal problem: although his argument is a good one and one frequently referenced to, it is not very well accepted. Hoffer's argument is hurt greatly by the frequent typographical inconsistencies found throughout the 17th century and is met by much skepticism by modern scholars. I also find it very hard to support Hoffer and would contend that Hoffer has done conditionally brilliant work: his linguistical analysis is quite impressive, however, he is missing a strong evidential basis. Without this strong basis, Hoffer has no possibility of having the convincing edge needed amass such existing confusion. I resolve that Hoffer has proven perhaps that Tituba's name sounds African in nature, but that little else can be taken from her name.
Tied into the issues of name and marital status is an assertion made also by Hoffer: "Tituba became Indian because her husband was Indian John."[34] This deserves attention as a possible key to this confusion. Hoffer contents that John's "identity became hers, just as women took their husband's name and their husbands took married women's property. There were a number of such intermarriages in the 18th century in which racial identity shifted from African to Indian."[35] Tucker also supports Hoffer's claim and argues:
Given the circumstances of the time—the frequent opportunities for cross-racial encounters occasioned by cross-Atlantic colonization, the incomplete legal codification of racial segregation, especially among servants of all racial backgrounds— it seems timid not to conclude that Tituba embodies a mixture of African and Indian ancestry.[36]
Tucker twists the argument a little to include specific racial possibity, but the idea is the same. She is suggesting that Tituba may not have been what her contemporaries would have called "Indian" but rather was called so by her association with John. I have found an unfortunate lack of commentary on this argument by other scholars. I agree with Hoffer. My readings of texts of that time period especially with the cultural understanding presented in Karlsen's period description of the Puritan Inheritance system and property laws[37], I find it highly possible that women did during that time acquire their husband's identities both in name and in person. Hopefully, more work will shed light on the possibility of Tituba's "Indian" nature being a reference to her relation with John Indian and not her own "Indian" origin.
There are also two more small linguistical considerations to note which affect arguments which these scholars, as a group, have made. The first of these mentioned is that surrounding the word Indian. Although minor, it should be noted, that the word Indian worked for contemporaries as a general catch all term for any of a large varieties of people and should be understood in all contemporary reference as such. Quoted from McWilliams (1996):
By 1692 (exactly two centuries after first contact) Columbus' misnaming [of aboriginal people as all "Indians"] had yielded a catchall term variously applied to the Guanahani, the Caribbe, the Aztecs, and West Indies Africans, as well as to the Iroquois and the Abnaki.[38]
McWilliams argues that Columbus's mistake has stuck, and that "Indian" refers now, and in the 17th century to several groups of people. Another definition which should be noted more closely, is the definition understood for the word "country." During the first examination (second version) of Tituba, March 1, 1692, Tituba is asked the question "Q. did you never practice witch-craft in your owne Country?" To which, she replied "A. Noe Never before now."[39] John Hale, argues that the reference here to her "owne Country," suggests that she hails from abroad and more specifically in light of other evidence from Barbados.[40] Rosenthal on the other hand argues against this reasoning, citing the Oxford English Dictionary for the word country: "A tract or expanse of land of undefined extend; a region, district. … Two adjoining parishes might be spoken of as different countries," leaving the meaning of the examiner's inquiry in question. To the modern ear, this rings as suggestion that at least the examiner believed that Tituba originated from another nation. However, if Rosenthal is correct, this examiner could simply be referencing to "back home" as in at the Parris' household, or wherever she might have lived before. I mention this to provide better reference for the difficulty surrounding the study of these. Already, three language considerations alone have affected Tituba's understood identity. The frequency of linugistical disputes suggests of the difficulties and possible inaccuracies involved in studying a subject where the records originate for a time of moderately different language structure.
Central to the dispute surrounding Tituba's identity in modern scholarship has been her race, and with that, her place of origin. Scholars have attempted to place Tituba coming from anywhere around northern Indian tribes, all the way south, through the continent of North America, throughout the Caribbean, and across the Atlantic to Africa. Modern theoretical debates places Tituba most often in the Caribbean, and more specifically from the island of Barbados. This modern theory is based on three points: The presence and likelihood of slave trade with Barbados; Rev. Parris's personal connection with Barbados from time spent there as a trader; and Breslaw's most recent addition: the record of a slave named Tattuba on a 1676 deed.
Likelihood of New England slaves originating from Africa through Barbados, scholars justify with arguments citing how many of the slaves living in Massachusetts in this time, including Mary Black, another accused in these trials, originated form Barbados. Tucker comments to the frequency Caribbean and African slaves in New England: " Most enslaved Africans in New England originated in Barbados and other English colonies in the Caribbean."[41] Barbados, was a close slave-trading colony with New England, and provided mostly African slaves, which the New Englanders preferred over indigenous Indians. McMillian writes to New Englander's preference for Caribbean slaves: "Adult male Native Americans captured in warfare would be sold to Caribbean plantations in return for Blacks or Caribbeans. It was much simpler to control Africans and Caribbeans than knowledgeable local, native peoples."[42] This frequent slave trade, plus the presence of Carib Indian slaves on Barbados supports theories of Tituba's origination there. Their argument flows as follows: since Tituba was a slave, and most slaves were from Africa, Tituba may be from Africa. Tucker, in her analysis of this theory, cites Hoffer's warnings that although Carib Indians were present on the island during the time in question, their numbers were few. When the British initially arrived on Barbados, "Barbados was deserted, its Carib inhabitants dead and gone."[43] After which time, from 1668 to 1678, a treaty declared that Indian slaves were not to be imported into Barbados. However, "by 1684, there were an estimated 72 Caribs on the island." [44] Tituba would have been a child sometime during the 1670's through 1680's.[45] A time at which, the number of Carib Indian slaves on the island was presumably low. The possibility still exists however, that Tituba and John Indian did come as Carib Indian slaves from Barbados with Rev. Parris.
The second point on which scholars base their argument, is Parris's time spent in Barbados. Parris was a trader who spent time in Barbados and returned to Boston in 1680.[46] Some suggest that it was at this time when Parris brought John and Tituba to the colonies.[47] Not all sources agree with this. Quoting Trask: "Tradition holds that Tituba and John were acquired by Parris when in the Barbados, though no direct proof of this exists."[48] Other scholars offer little help, either ignoring the issue, or assuming that Parris accuired John and Tituba in Barbados when there. Little then can be concluded either way, however I believe Trask's questioning is justified and doubt should be assumed until proven otherwise.
The most recent justification that scholars have adopted comes from Elaine G. Breslaw. Breslaw has found "the name 'Tattuba' for a slave girl in a 1676 dead."[49] This, Breslaw argues is the same Tituba who we later find in the Salem witch trials. Breslaw's intends to show with this evidence that our "Tituba" existed, even as "Tattuba" on Barbados in 1676. Those against this theory, sight its shaky basis on a singular instance of name, and moreover, a name that is spelled differently. Breslaw and her critics both note, that on this deed, the name Tattuba appears under a list of "Negroes" identified as slaves.[50] Her critics sight the overwhelming decision of Tituba's contemporaries to refer to her as Indian in the court records, even though this Tattuba is referred to under the heading "Negroes." Breslaw admits this discrepancy, and attempts justification, sighting yet another linguistical question. The word "Negro," she argues is used here "to connote the condition of enslavement and not necessarily color or ethnicity."[51] Breslaw's work is again conditional, based on too few facts to be accepted as truth.
The debate over Tituba's origin continues in scholarly literature of this very day. In my most recent source article, Tucker references to this argument almost in its entirety. Here, on this particular point can I leave with no hard and fast conclusions. I can however return to what little we know: her contemporaries perceived Tituba as an Indian. She in my belief continues to be such. Whether Tituba as an Indian originated from North America, the Caribbean, or beyond, I leave for scholars to decide. On the point of origin too much speculation and not enough evidence is yet present for speculation to lend much help.
At times it seems in history as though as much as one labors over the documents, little is known but what was already there. Here I have reinterpreted what others have said regarding Tituba's life and come to at least a sturdier picture and a few general realizations about historical evidence. It is evident, that regardless of how much analysis we do over our present Tituba, our few records of her life are not enough to create a full picture of this slave so important to the Salem witch trails. What can hopefully be gleaned from this discussion is a firmer picture of Tituba the witch. These discussions of Tituba however, are not near the end. Her great importance to this event of Colonial history will continue to foster more debate about who she was. Tucker and others have stated often that it was Tituba's confession which was arguably responsible for the over 200 later accusations and the 20 people who died as a result of these trials.[52] Had Tituba not confessed how would it all have played out? Historians hope then, through understanding the identity of Tituba, to better understand how the events actually happened and what part this woman Tituba took in those events. I would also venture to say that in light of so much recent historical discussion, at least any future depictions of Tituba, artistic or otherwise, will most likely be more accurate than any of these previous. It is my expectation, that our perception of Tituba will continue to grow and change, and that that change will be based on fact and reason and not those pictures and stereotypes with might hold of her.

Ulster 33-6 Glasgow
Ulster claimed a comprehensive Celtic League victory over a disappointing Glasgow outfit at Ravenhill on Friday evening.
Coach Alan Solomons had demanded a massive improvement on Ulster's dreadful display in their opening defeat by Swansea-Neath Ospreys.
To their credit Ulster delivered although the Glasgow challenge was disappointing to say the least.
Ulster got off to a great start with summer recruit Rowan Frost bursting through for a fine try after six minutes which was converted by fly-half Adam Larkin.
Calvin Howarth missed a 14th minute opportunity to reply for the visitors when he pulled at 35-metre penalty just wide.
However, Glasgow continued to press and Stuart Moffat opened their account with a 25th minute drop goal after the Ulster line had been threatened.
By that stage the home side had lost centre Ryan Constable with Seamus Mallon replacing the injured player.
Larkin put seven points between the teams again on the half-hour but Calvin Howarth quickly struck back with a penalty for Glasgow.
However, the Ulster pack produced another great drive in the 34th minute which concluded with skipper Andy Ward crashing over for a try.
Larkin's conversion extend the home lead to 17-6 and there were no further scores before the interval.
Ulster took a firm grip on the game after the break and with the contest being played exclusively in Glasgow territory, Larkin was able to add two further penalties to extend the home team's advantage to 17 points.
The Ulster fly-half added another penalty in the 64th minute against a Glasgow team which appeared to have run out of ideas.
Ulster continued to dominate in the closing minutes and Shane Stewart produced a fine break to claim the home team's third try in the 77th minute.
Larkin's conversion brought his personal tally up to 18 points.
His scrum half partner Kieran Campbell was arguably even more influential for the winners.
Glasgow: S Moffat; J Steel, G Morrison, J Naufahu, R Kerr; C Howarth, K Sinclair; E Murray, S Gunn, M Proudfoot, A Hall, N Ross, C Mather (capt), D Macfadyen, R Reid.Replacements: S Lawson, L Harrison, R McKay, P Dearlove, G Beveridge, A Bulloch, S Lamont.
Referee: N Whitehouse (Wales)

Fri. January 4, 2013 | Joel Anderson
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — This would have been the week Jordan Sherit tested himself against the 300-pounder headed to Southern California, or the 290-pound tackle from Alabama or even the highly-touted lineman bound for Texas, among many others.
But for a few months now, the Hillsborough High senior defensive end and Florida commitment has replaced the grind of football practice with the drudgery of knee rehabilitation.
So it was again Friday morning, when Sherit attended his first practice of the week at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio.
"I can't play — it's not the greatest thing in the world," Sherit said. "But I'm so privileged to be here."
One of the nation's most coveted recruits, Sherit missed much of his senior season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against Jefferson on Oct. 5. He had surgery the next week and is in the midst of a grueling five-day-a-week rehab program.
His invitation to the all-star game came the week of his injury, a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing finish to his high school career.
"I should be cleared to jog in a month," he said. "It's been a long process. But coming out here and watching the guys play is a reminder of what I need to do."
Sherit remains optimistic that he'll be ready in time to report to Florida in the summer.
"I'm excited to get up there and get started," he said.
Sherit is the second Hillsborough High player selected to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, joining Jarred Fayson who played in the game in 2005.
GATOR BAIT: As expected, there were some rough moments for the four Florida recruits in San Antonio following the Gators' 33-23 defeat to Louisville in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday.
Jacksonville First Coast linebacker Daniel McMillian said some of his teammates, particularly those headed to other Southeastern schools or rival programs in Florida, have made sure to offer up their opinions of the Gators' lackluster performance.
"Yeah, they've been joking about it," McMillian said, cracking a smile. "But it's still a great program."
"It hasn't changed anything in my eyes," Sherit said.
McMillian and Sherit are two of four Gator commitments invited to the game. The others are wide receiver Ahmad Fullwood of Jacksonville Bishop Kenny and defensive back Nick Washington of Jacksonville Trinity Christian.
Fort Valley (Ga.) Peach County receiver Demarcus Robinson is thought to be waffling on an earlier commitment to Florida in favor of Clemson.
ON THE RISE: Lakewood junior offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn came to San Antonio eager to face off against some of the nation's best talent.
Wynn discovered Friday that he'd already been doing that back home.
"I was ready to compete and see what other parts of the nation had to offer me," Wynn said. "They're good …but I still feel like Jordan Sherit and some of the other Tampa guys gave me more work."
The 6-foot-2, 262-pounder held his own — and then some — during the combine, a day-long series of athletic tests and position drills for more than 500 of the nation's top underclassmen.
Wynn and Bloomingdale defensive lineman Fito Merzier were the only two players from the Tampa Bay area who participated in the event.
Wynn was particularly proud of his performance in the one-on-one competition, where he shifted from his natural tackle position to left guard for the first time in his career.
"The coach said I did pretty good," he said. "So I'm pretty confident about where I stack up right now."
Wynn, who is already being recruited hard by Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Indiana, said he also learned that he has lots of room for improvement with his technique.
He will leave for Florida today eager to make a return trip to San Antonio, next time as part of the All-American team.
"It's been a great experience," he said. "I would love to come back."

A chemist, industrialist and archaeologist, Sir Robert Ludwig Mond followed the motto: "Make yourself necessary".
Born to a famous chemist, Sir Robert Mond carried out research in his father's firm which in 1926 was incorporated into Imperial Chemical Industries.
In the early 1900s, he was also among the number of influential people in the United Kingdom who wished to foster the cultural development of the British Empire, including Canada. He was a great supporter of education and funded hospitals, including the Hospital for Sick Children.
Many of the Egyptian artifacts brought to the Museum by Charles T. Currelly were from excavations funded by Sir Robert Mond. He funded Currelly's early collecting work, continued to help after the Museum opened, and joined The Twenty Friends of the Arts, the ROM's first donor group in 1917. He also donated his own artifacts from Egypt, Persia, China and Europe to the Museum.
When a Chinese library of 40,000 volumes was offered for sale in Beijing in the early 1930s, Sir Robert Mond and three other donors generously purchased them for the ROM. Mond and another benefactor, Sigmund Samuel, then funded an addition to the ROM to house the new library. It opened in 1937.
In 1934, the University of Toronto recognized Sir Robert Mond's extraordinary contribution by conferring on him an honourary doctorate.

The approval includes several controversial new elements, including a 250-room hotel on an 85-metre pier in the harbour.
Lend Lease has also confirmed that major accounting firm PwC is one of the first tenants to have signed on at the project.
Lend Lease managing director
Australia's four biggest accounting firms are all considering taking space in the waterfront development.
More information about commercial tenants and investors in the project would be available in the first half of 2011, Mr McCann said.
Lend Lease had tweaked its plans for Barangaroo, following public comment, changing the layout of walkways through the site and altering one of the commercial towers to lessen its impact on the water views of residents behind the project.
The development will now include about 490,000 square metres of floor space, with three commercial towers, residential space, three ferry piers, a pedestrian walkway from Wynyard Station and light rail line.
Lend Lease is required to get individual development approvals for the buildings included in the plan.
Site works have already been approved and plans for the first commercial tower are on display for public comment.
Mr McCann said yesterday it had been a "long and robust" approvals process and he was pleased the company could now proceed with confidence. Australian economic and leasing conditions were even better than when they bid on the project, he said.
It was too early to discuss a potential operator for the hotel but it would be a world-class, luxury offering.
The diversified property group's share price surged after the announcement, closing up on the day at $8.40.
NSW Planning Minister
She said the development would cement Sydney's position as Australia's only truly global city and as a financial services centre in the Asia-Pacific region.
NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge said the approval was a "disgraceful act" by a dying government.
"The National Trust, Planning Institute, Institute of Architects and City of Sydney are all opposed to Lend Lease's plans for Barangaroo,'' he said.
Lobby group Alliance for NSW Future said the approval would help restore investor confidence in NSW.

Protests over Laos hydro dam project
South-East Asia Correspondent
Page Tools

The World Bank is poised to approve a large hydro-electric dam in Laos, the first by the bank in 10 years, despite a long-running campaign by environmental groups and Thai civil organisations to stop it.
The battle for the Nam Theun River is much greater than the 450 square kilometres that will be flooded on the Nakai plateau. This is a decision that could, if the $US1.2 billion ($A1.55 billion) dam gets the green light, signal a major revision of the bank's policy on large dam projects, its critics say.
"The World Bank is under pressure from powerful dam building countries like China and India to get back in, and the current US Administration is in favour (of dam building)," said Aviva Imhov, of the International Rivers Network, which opposes the project.
For Laos, the poorest nation in South-East Asia, hydro-electric power is seen as a viable export industry. Thailand has already agreed to buy 90 per cent of the electricity if Nam Theun 2 goes ahead.
Laos has plans to build 10 dams to take advantage of East Asia's growing energy demands. But it needs the World Bank to underwrite the projects to reduce the risk for investors.
Both sides agree the dam will displace 6200 people from 17 villages on the Nakai plateau.
Ms Imhov said: "The Laos Government does not have the capacity or the political will to ensure its people are compensated for their losses."
Laos had already built five dams, she said, and the 58,000 people affected had not been properly compensated.
The World Bank's board is due to decide on the dam next Thursday. The Asian Development Bank is expected to meet two days later on the project.
The World Bank's charter requires that any project it supports be aimed at reducing poverty and be technically, financially, managerially and economically sound.
In a statement this week the bank said "staff were satisfied that the project had been prepared in a way that would allow these criteria to be met fully".
Mekong River expert Milton Osbourne wrote in the Nation newspaper: "The potential strength of the project relates to the capacity to boost the Government's future export earnings and play a major part in poverty alleviation."
But Thai activists also question the economic viability of the dam. The price Thailand has agreed to pay for the electricity is too low for Laos to make a profit and Thailand could source its power more cheaply elsewhere, said Prem-rudee Daorung, director of Terra, a Thai civil organisation.
The impacts will be environmental and social. They include water diversion from the Nam Theun River system into the Xe Bang Fai River, a tributary of the Mekong. Water from the turbines would boost the dry season flow in the Xe Bang Fai tenfold, affecting a further 100,000 people who depend on the river.
Fish breeding would be affected and displaced people would be moved to infertile ground, Ms Imhov said.

A beautiful way to celebrate 25 years of marriage!: Carnival Liberty Cruise Review by sangoofy
Overall Member Rating
A beautiful way to celebrate 25 years of marriage!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Port visits were great, our favorite being Grand Turk where we rented a car and explored the beautiful island at our own pace. St Thomas, while there on every cruise, never ceases to take our breath away. Took a tour with Sunny Liston and had a blast. Old San Juan was very nice too. Took carriage ride, had breakfast at La Bonbonaeras bakery and then shopped and strolled the old streets of shops. Half Moon Cay, cannot say enough. Sand was like silk, aqua blue waters kept us captive for over 5 hours, as the sign said, we did NOT want to leave either.
Service More on our ship was impeccable. Our cabin Steward Lukie-Lukie was awesome and definately catered to our every whim, with a smile and a greeting every time.
Food was delicious from the dining room to the buffett to the Fish and Chips bar.
Entertainment rocked too. Shows were wonderful. Live entertainment in bars awesome too, especially enjoyed Duane in the Piano Bar.
The Carnival colors contest, the Legends show, the Master Mixologist contest were awesome touches and really gave passengers the opportunity to shine in front of all their fellow passengers.
Overall, we couldnt think of a better way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and loved every minute of our cruise adventure. So much so that we purchased 2 certificates for future cruise to take within the next 5 years. Cannot wait to the next time.
Our first cruise was in 2002 on Carnival Destiny, then switched to RCI in 2004 and continued to sail with RCI for the next few cruises. Decided to try Carnival again for this trip and sooooooooooooo glad we did. They won us over and we will definately be back as soon as we can. Less

Great location. (7360) Midship, 2 floors above promenade, 2 floors below Lido deck. Great balcony viewRead All Balcony (8C) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
Rented a car on our own. Drove up the coast all the way to the lighthouse, stopping at different areas along the way. Checked out Cockburn town, saw a herd of wild horses, including a newborn colt along the roadside, took some fantastic pictures up near the cliffs by the lighthouse. Met some great natives of the island. Had a cold tasty Turks Head beer and fresh conch salad at Bovio Dive Resort at Pillory Beach. Great time, great exploring, great pics.
Sunny Liston tour, beginning in CHarlotte Amalie for 2 hrs shopping. Then off for the wild island tour with Sunny and some new found friends blaring the island music as we chanted up and down the roads of the island, making our way between Botanical Gardens, Drakes Seat, Bluebeard's Castle, then the lovely beaches of Magens Bay, Sapphire Beach and even Frenchman's Reef. Ended our tour and took the tram up to Paradise Point and had some great breaded Flying Fish and a couple of Bushwackers and we enjoyed the island breeze and the view below.

An enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), may not cause any symptoms. Yet many men with BPH develop maddening problems such as a frequent and urgent need to urinate. Others can only manage a dribble when they attempt to pee. Many find themselves climbing out of bed several times a night to use the bathroom.
Most men with BPH manage the condition by making lifestyle changes or taking oral medications. Unfortunately, some common drugs prescribed to treat BPH can cause erectile dysfunction, though the problem goes away if you stop taking the medicine. Furthermore, serious cases of BPH may require surgery to remove excess prostate tissue that's causing all the problems. A small number of men may develop erectile dysfunction following these surgical procedures, though most appear to regain sexual function again over time.

9533Islamic Fighters Beat Back Pak Army
Expand Messages
- Sep 6, 2008The Epic Defense of Loe Sam. 400 against 40.
WAR NEWS: New Trend research
Pakistani Forces Beaten Back by Islamic Fighters, Declare Victory
after Relentless use of Air force: Hundreds Killed in Bombing of
Bajaur, Swat, Adam Khel
September 1, 2008: Pakistani armed forces declared victory against
Islamic fighters and announced cease fire for the month of Ramadan
starting September 2 in Pakistan. However Pakistani air force and
heavy artillery continued to pound suspected Taliban positions in
Bajaur, Swat and Darra Adam Khel.
Conservative estimates are that more than 400,000 Muslims have been
uprooted from their homes by the Pakistani army's sustained
offensive. Hundreds have been killed, mostly civilians, including
women and children, as well as scores of Taliban fighters.
The real reason for the cease fire announcement, our researchers
say, is not that the Pak military command suddenly became religious
but because they were beaten back by elite forces of the Islamic
movement known as the Pakistani Taliban.
The anti-Taliban New York Times [p.A7, 9.1 issue] admits that
Pakistan's best troops were beaten back. It says that Pakistani
forces' commander says that the famous Frontier Corp tried to take
the a Taliban position in Bajaur known as Loe Sam THREE TIMES but
was "bloodied." In each attack, the Frontier Corp used overwhelming
forces, 400 troops backed by artillery. The Paks admit that at least
29 of their troops were killed. Thereafter the Frontier Corp hid in
the fortress of Khar throughout the campaign while the air force
bombed up and down Bajaur and heavy artillery kept thumping. [Loe
Sam was captured by the Taliban earlier from the Paks.]
The second failure was that the bombing missed Taliban leaders. The
army announced that it had killed Taliban leader Faqir Muhammad but
he exposed the story by giving a radio interview soon after.
[As New Trend readers may remember, the Frontier Corp was armed and
trained by the U.S. as a killer force against the Taliban.]
Islamic Leader warns, Pakistan Army is Undermining National Unity:
400,000 Made Homeless in Bajaur by Pak Bombing and Armored Columns
LAHORE, Aug 30: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad has warned
that no army could conquer its own citizens merely on the basis of
American patronization, adding that military operation in tribal
areas has seriously endangered country's security.
He was addressing lawyers at Karachi Bar Association on Saturday,
where president of Bar Mehmoodul Hasan and secretary Naeem Qureshi
also spoke.
Qazi said the war on terror was actually a war against Islam and
Pakistan. He said the recent bombing in Bajaur has left over four
hundred thousand citizens to evacuate their homes and take shelter
in safe places and relief camps where they were languishing without
food and essential needs.
Holding Army responsible for this catastrophe, Qazi asked how could
people love Army when it treated them like that. Qazi also condemned
PPP Co-chairperson Asif Zardari for violating his agreements and
promises like Gen Musharraf, and announced that JI would support
Justice Retd Saeeduzzaman Siddiqi for presidential elections. He
also paid tributes to lawyers community for its valiant struggle for
the restoration of independent judiciary, and said JI would back
them till achievement of their goal.
Qazi criticized MQM for its terrorism committed against patriotic
citizens, specially the May 12, 07 massacre, and expressed sorrow
that in the absence of independent judiciary the victims' families
were helpless since they could not move any courts for justice. He
said Gen Musharraf also sold out a number of patriotic citizens to
America but their families could not go to the court of Justice
Abdul Hameed Dogar.
Qazi visited the house of JI leader Hasan Athar who was martyred by
MQM terrorists a couple of days back and condoled with his family.
He also visited the house of Dr Aafia Siddiqi and sympathized with
her mother and sister over her abduction and illegal extradition to
Washington for dollars by Gen Musharraf. He said JI would continue
to extend all possible help to Dr Aafia, her lawyer and brother for
seeking her release.
The September 3 Attack on Pakistan
By GARY LEUPP
In the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, September 3, three U.S.
helicopters carrying U.S. Special Operations Forces swooped down
onto the Pakistani village of Musa Nika, in South Waziristan,
killing fifteen to twenty people according to early reports. The
U.S. press noted that this is the first known ground assault of U.S.
troops in Pakistan. The provincial governor said twenty civilians
including women and children were killed. The Foreign Minister
denounced the attack, declaring that "no important terrorist or high-
value target" was hit.
The chief spokesman for the Pakistani Army registered its "strong
objection." Gen. Athar Abbas declared that the attack could provoke
a general rebellion of local tribes against his government, and
threaten NATO supply lines from Karachi into Afghanistan. The
Foreign Minister angrily declared that "no important terrorist or
high-value target" was hit. The U.S. ambassador was summoned to
receive Islamabad's official protest.
This is heavy stuff. But this news got sidelined by the star
coverage conferred by the mainstream media on Sarah Palin, whose
ringing oration, dripping with ignorance and contempt for the world,
brought down the house Wednesday night in that celebration of
stupidity in St. Paul. That speech, authored by George W. Bush
speechwriter Matthew Scully for whatever vice presidential candidate
McCain selected, asserted among other things that Bush's "surge"
had prevented al-Qaeda from taking over Iraq. The message is clear:
all U.S. military action is designed to protect the U.S. from al-
Qaeda terror.
Why would the mainstream media, pronouncing "a star is born," want
to highlight the little news story about remote Waziristan? Palin
was splashed all over the front page of the Boston Globe on
Thursday; the Pakistan story was on page A-3. On Friday a follow-up
AP story made page A-26. It emphasized how the raid had "complicated
life for presidential front-runner Asif Ali Zardari."
But this largely ignored event holds potentially horrifying
significance. "Top American officials" have told the New York Times
that this raid "could be the opening salvo in a much broader
campaign by Special Operations forces against the Taliban and Al
Qaeda inside Pakistan, a secret plan that Defense Secretary Robert
M. Gates has been advocating for months within President Bush's war
The plan of course enjoys the support of John McCain, who never met
a warlike action he didn't like, as well as his opponent in the
presidential race. Barack Obama has been saying for over a year
that is the U.S. has "actionable intelligence about high-value
terrorist targets" in Pakistan and the chance to hit them, it should
do so. The hell with Pakistani sovereignty! Why should such a detail
matter after "we were attacked"?
Why should the outraged opposition of the Pakistani government
constitute a major news story? Pakistan's only a nuclear-armed
Muslim country of 165 million people, which has at great cost to
itself agreed---under duress, indeed the threat of being "bombed
back into the Stone Age"---to abet U.S. objectives in neighboring
Afghanistan. It's just a country that having helped create and
nurture the Taliban in order to stabilize Afghanistan, broke with
that organization at the demand of the U.S. in 2001 and then found
its frontier provinces flooded with Islamist militants fleeing
across the border.
According to a White House "fact sheet" issued in August 2007:
Pakistan has worked closely with the United States to secure the
arrest of terrorists like Khalid Shaykh Mohammad, Abu Zubaydah, and
Ramzi bin al Shibh. Pakistan has killed or captured hundreds of
suspected and known terrorists, including Mullah Obaidullah, who
ranked second in the Taliban hierarchy at the time of his capture.
About 100,000 Pakistani troops are deployed in the region near the
Afghan border, and hundreds of Pakistani security forces have given
their lives in the battle to combat terrorism post-9/11.
Pakistan provides vital logistical support to coalition forces in
President Musharraf has a comprehensive strategy that combines three
critical components--strengthened governance, increased economic
development, and improved security--aimed at eradicating extremism
in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
No government has provided more assistance to Washington as it
pursues its goals in Southwest Asia. No country has been more
dramatically destabilized as the price of its cooperation. But not
only does the U.S. political class take this disasterous compliance
for granted, it wants to further emphasize Islamabad's irrelevance
by attacking the border area at will.
It insults the sensibilities of a population that holds bin Laden in
far greater esteem than the U.S. president. It provokes the powerful
Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI), originally the creation of the
CIA, once a close partner with the U.S. in the project of destroying
the secular pro-Soviet state that existed in Afghanistan from 1978
to 1993. (The ISI, a power unto itself, is already annoyed that
Afghanistan, where anti-Indian Kashmiri jihadis used to hone their
skills in training camps, has been cozying up to India.) Its embrace
undermines any leader who seeks nationalist and religious
credentials in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
"There's potential to see more [attacks on Pakistan]," an unnamed
U.S. official told the New York Times. Who do these people think
they're dealing with?
It is one thing to ignore the government of Iraq, placed in power by
the U.S. invasion, when it says no to a permanent U.S. military
presence, U.S. forces' immunity from Iraqi law, or the privatization
of Iraq's petroleum resources. It's one thing to laugh at al-Maliki
& Co. and say, "Well, they don't mean that," confident that they'll
eventually knuckle under. It's another thing to suppose that the
Pakistanis, when they say "No," mean anything other than "No" and
will simply burn with quiet resentment indefinitely as U.S. forces
violate their sovereignty. But that sort of insane arrogance stems
naturally from the post 9-11 "us vs. them" mentality of U.S.
leaders. Not just the neocons, mind you, but the entire political
Pakistan, these leaders will note, is not doing enough to prevent
militants from crossing over the border to attack U.S. and NATO
forces in Afghanistan. One should respond to this assertion with the
following points:
The U.S. is conflating Taliban and al-Qaeda forces. But these are
not the same thing. (This is perhaps the most obvious but obviously
neglected point of fact in the post 9-11 era.) The Taliban is an
indigenous Afghan movement and--however unsavory--unquestionably
enjoys a social base.
Al-Qaeda is a mostly Arab force rooted in the U.S.-sponsored anti-
Soviet Mujahadeen of the 1980s.
Nobody in Afghanistan asked the U.S. to invade, bomb, or continue
bombing Afghanistan for seven years. Nor did the Pakistanis.
The invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, against the advice and
will of Pakistan, and the failure of that invasion to crush al-
Qaeda, pushed al-Qaeda and Taliban forces into Pakistan. It's likely
the latter far outnumber the former.
Pakistan's government had never firmly controlled the frontier
provinces or deployed large-scale military forces there in deference
to the sensibilities of local tribes.
Washington, oblivious to Pakistan's realities, demanded that
Islamabad suppress the al-Qaeda and Taliban forces that fled into
the region. In effect, it demanded that Pakistan clean up a mess
that the U.S. invasion had created.
Pakistan's efforts to obey Washington have taken a terrible toll on
the Pakistani Army, solidified local resistance to the central
government, and in fact produced a Pakistani Taliban rooted in the
local Pashtuns who identify with the Afghan Pashtuns and have no use
for the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan drawn by
colonialists who never consulted with them in drawing the map.
Faced with the prospect of a general tribal-based rebellion,
Islamabad has cut deals with local Taliban-linked groups. Washington
has expressed its disapproval, claiming such deals continue to allow
militants to cross back and forth across the border attacking its
forces and their allies in Afghanistan. Washington is, in effect,
asking Pakistan's government to risk civil war and its own collapse
to prevent Afghans from attacking its forces in Afghanistan whose
deployment Pakistan opposed in the first place.
Washington is saying to this nuclear power, Pakistan: "You must
obey!" And some in Pakistan are saying: "You do not know this
region. You've responded to 9-11 by lashing out in all directions,
creating enemies you never had before. You created this problem, our
headache, in Waziristan and adjoining regions. And you make it worse
by saying that since we're not handling it to your satisfaction,
you're going to start landing your troops in our villages, shooting
on our civilians. And you're expecting us to say, `Ok, no problem,
boss?' You're crazy."
It is crazy, even for a cocky hyper-imperialist power, to manifest
such arrogance and contempt. Such attacks on Pakistan say to the
Muslims of the world: "You are the problem and we reserve the right
to slaughter you, because back home, we have powerful politicians
who respond to a mass base that thinks fighting you all is, as Sarah
Palin put it, `a task from God.' (USA! USA! USA! USA!)
If you don't agree with our program to restructure your region,
supporting our misogynistic fanatical Islamists in the Northern
Alliance as opposed to the Taliban misogynistic fanatical Islamists
you used to sponsor, we'll invade you and take care of the problem
ourselves. (USA! USA! USA! USA!) Get used to it. It's not just the
Bush crowd. We've got Obama on board now too. We will strike
Pakistani targets as we see fit. Screw international law, which we
invoke when it serves our needs and ignore when it might restrain
us. Nobody is allowed to cross any border to attack our brave
Americans, no matter where we invade, or why. Just accept that,
world, and avoid our wrath. (USA! USA! USA!)"
That's indeed the message to Pakistan. If there were a free press in
this country, honest education and genuine discussion, the people
would recoil in horror from the crimes committed in their name and
the premises---largely lies---behind those crimes. But we have none
of that, just some posts on the internet. The outlook is grim.

Protest lodged with US ambassador
By Baqir Sajjad Syed
ISLAMABAD, Sept 3: Pakistan on Wednesday condemned an incursion into
its territory by the US-led coalition forces based in Afghanistan,
saying it constituted a grave violation of its territorial
sovereignty and undermined its efforts against terrorism.
US Ambassador Anne W. Patterson was summoned to the Foreign Office,
where Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir lodged a protest against the
helicopter-borne ground attack by coalition troops on a village near
Angoor Adda in South Waziristan that resulted in 20 civilian
The foreign secretary told the ambassador that the assault supported
by air assets based in Afghanistan was a gross violation of
Pakistan's territory which was unacceptable and tantamount to a
grave provocation. He said it was most unfortunate that coalition
forces in Afghanistan had resorted to cross-border attacks on
civilians. Impressing upon the US that such attacks were counter-
productive for joint efforts against terrorism, he warned that the
incident could fuel the "fire of hatred and violence" which the
government was trying to extinguish.
The US ambassador promised that Pakistan's concerns would be
communicated to Washington.
Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Wednesday no external
forces would be allowed to launch an attack inside Pakistan's
territory. He said Pakistan was a sovereign country fully capable of
countering extremist and terrorist elements within its borders on
its own.
