Forgotten History Lesson

Theodore Roosevelt: "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick"

Wise words. Too bad the Bush administration didn't follow his example. Just days before North Korea tested a nuclear device, officials in the Bush administration stated that they "are not going to live with a nuclear North Korea".

So what exactly is the United States planning to do now that North Korea has gone ahead with its test?
RESTRICT TRAVEL

The draft, obtained by the Associated Press, incorporates proposals circulated by the U.S. earlier in the day to prohibit all trade in military and luxury goods and prevent "any abuses of the international financial system." It also adds new calls from Japan to ban all countries from allowing any North Korean ships in their ports or any North Korean aircraft from taking off or landing in their territory and to impose travel restrictions on high-ranking North Korean officials.

Neither Russia nor China would say whether they support a resolution that could pave the way for sanctions.

Meanwhile, North Korea warns pressure will be taken as a declaration of war

In its first official announcement since testing a nuclear weapon underground, North Korea is warning that increased pressure from the United States will be taken as a declaration of war.

I guess this means next summer's vacation to Pyongyang will be put on hold.

CAIR Watch


Since the early 80's, the terrorist organization Hamas has had a presence within the United States. Many groups connected to Hamas have come and gone. They include: the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR), the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), the Global Relief Foundation (GRF) and KindHearts.

Another organization, the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) was shut down in 2005, after it was found liable for the murder of an American boy who was killed during a Hamas terror operation in Israel. Eleven years prior to its closure, three leaders from the IAP created the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR.

CAIR Watch, a project of Americans Against Hate, was founded with the mission to expose the extremist nature and terrorist ties of CAIR, in hopes that it will be shut down, just as the others were before it. You can help in this endeavor. We need you to be our eyes and ears in your area. Events, publications, statements, and all else concerning the aforementioned are of grave importance to us.

Is there an article, blog entry or CAIR quote that we need to place on our site? Do you know of someone connected to the group that we should create a new profile for? We are open to your suggestions.

If you would like to assist us and become a CAIR Watcher, feel free to send an e-mail to us at:
