Dear Readers,

Opinions expressed in various sections are the sole responsibility of their authors and they may not represent Al-Jazeerah's. In particular, Al-Jazeerah may not agree, approve, condone, or acquiesce any of the published photos, cartoons, news articles, and opinion articles.

These materials represent reactions of authors  to American foreign policy in the Middle East, Israeli occupation policies and practices in occupied Palestine, or policies and practices of Arab governments and Arab rulers.

The main objective is to enable English readers all over the world, particularly in the US and Israel, to know about the impact of the policies of these governments on Arabs and Muslims.

When people are more aware of the consequences of policies of their governments, cross-cultural understanding increases, which leads to a more just and peaceful world ... That is the essence of the Al-Jazeerah.info Mission.

One of the most remembered photos from the US war in Vietnam. A Souht Vietnamese general executes a Viet Kong fighter in Saigon, during the North Vietnamese attack, known as Tet, after which the US knew it was losing the war. Yesterday Al-Mahdi Army seized Al-Amarah city in Iraq. A day before, Iraqi resistance fighters paraded in the streets of Al-Ramadi. Both scenes are pieces of evidence that the US has lost the war in Iraq. The Lancent survey reported 650,000 Iraqi deaths!  How many thousands of people more need to be killed until the ruling elite in Washington realize this simple fact? (Al-Safir, 10/21/06).
