blessed are the cheese-makers?

Iraqis vote to re-establish the institutions of government.
Africans, South americans and Asias die for want of vaccines, food, clean water, and in bloodshed caused by the warmongers active and passive of western economics.
Plague is everywhere.
clean water is only found in the West and they complain about it's quality.
no one ever expects the spanish inquisition
no one ever expects the spanish inquisition

The planet is still being abused by those who think all the colours of the rainbow are worth all the water of the rivers, and all the smoke that belches.

The elderly of the richest nations are not insured by their institutions of government against insecurity and poverty.

Children are still introduced to lives of sexual slavery for the entertainment of western tourists and the rich.

Humans still suffer for the their ethnicity or social class or place of birth.

If you go to a church to day you get to hear "the beatitudes" amongst other interesting texts on wisdom for epiphany 4.
"blessed are the cheesemakers et cetera, was that all dairy producers?"

give the meek a voice.
give land to the landless.
give water to the thirsty.
give food to the hungry.
give comfort to the victims of plague.
give comfort to those imprisoned
deal justice on the warmongers.

There is nothing else to say.
don't be Pharisee law makers or Saducee religious hypocrites.

Basta!
Dinero Gratis!

I can't copyright this, it's ancient.

ethnic representation in the acting interim council-
17% Chiite.
9% Sunni
8% Kurd
1% turcoman
1% assyrian

Turn out in exile north america and levant - average 25%

Turn out today highest amongst the Kurds of Kurdistan.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4219463.stm
Turnout has indicated that the next stage Iraqi state will not be dominated by the Shia/Chi'ite/"shite" 17% islamic republic don't let women vote or go to school crew.

The majority of Iraqi citizens who do not live in the occupied state of Iraq have chosen to ·not vote·
In some central areas of Iraq the majority have not voted it is uncertain whether that was a political or personal security decision.
Estimates vary but it seems pretty commonplace to say that over 100,000 children and future Iraqi voters died along the way to this day. One poll has never qualified or proved the democratic process, the Iraqi voters have chosen from lists of names and after much consultation with friends and foes within and without their state in the last four years moved yet closer to the sort of functional democracy we might recognise in the West and happily and freely criticise.

They are still very far from that day, but they're on the road, and they're not turning back to the Hussein family regime and its allies (known and unknown).
Their country embraces all religious faiths, many sites of world culture, ought boast some of the most important trade and commerce routes between Europe and Asia and is very very rich in Oil. Oil which we as +a planet+ need to think carefully about the future use of.

We _all_ need to work with the Iraqi and Kurdish peoples to help them achieve their rightful and legitimate goals of self-determination, liberty, democracy and enjoy the prosperity of their land and contribute to the international community.

final link to the "power transfer" of US occupation supported by several states including the UK, España, Poland, Denmark, Morocco, and others to the "interim council". The "interim council" will be "counted out of office" this following week.

*********************************************
Now more on the Spanish Inquisition-

Mr Chapman :- I don't know - Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

Jarring Chord of Music!!!!!!!!!!!

[The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain [Palin] enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles [Jones] has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang [Gilliam] is just Cardinal Fang]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

*******************************
if you check the news updates for June 2004 you'll find I updated when the Vatican cleared up aspects of their most infamous inquisition sketches, the Holy See spokesperson described it as "downscaling torture".

Iraqi and Kurdish power transfer continues...
