War talk Your protest text-and-pix coverage on cairolive.com was excellent.Daniel Bernard I am a belly dance teacher
living in England. I have to tell you that all British people do not
support the war in Iraq. In fact we are extremely angry that this is
happening. I am an English person living
in Cairo and fully support the anti-war demonstrations. War is not the
answer to this mess and I find it so hard to believe that the American
and British government believe this will solve any problems - it just
increases the tension. We have already heard Saddam talking about a
holy war -- this has nothing to do with religious beliefs!!! Many many
people from all walks of life and all types of religion are against
this war and I hope for the sake of the world that the message that
comes out of this is that the majority of people in this world want to
get on with their lives peacefully. There must be a better way to rid
the world of evil dictators without targeting the poor innocent
victims. I support the war in Iraq. No
one will disagree that war is a terrible, sad thing. No one is
"pro-war". But there comes a time when war is necessary. Why isn't the Arab world
supporting Iraq's call for jihad? This is shameful! I think Syria should not get
involved in the war. The biblical end times scenario includes Damascus
in what can only be described as a nuclear catastrophe of Biblical
proportions. The bombardment of Baghdad is
no different than what is happening between the Israelis and the
Palestinians. Are we going to see another West Bank or Gaza? Will the
Arabs allow another Arab country to be sacrificed? CLICK

Hating Saddam, hating Bush Truth is that we have the same
God, and he wants us to live in peace, loving and caring for each
other. America attacks a despot, a bad man who pains his people, and
not Islam, not an Arabian people. It's not because they're Arab that
it's okay. It's not because they're American that it's good either. Maybe
freedom, love and friendship are scaring those who have power and
money. We all have our own blindness; all of us. I am against this war along
with millions of other Americans who feel the reasons are not just --
they are lies. But out voices are in vain. What a mess this Bush has
made. God be with the people of the world. As an ex-serviceman for the US
Navy please accept my apologies for our president. CLICK

Forgotten civilizations
One of the reasons there is no
mention of Iraq in the British museum is because most of the
items there have items from Mesopotamia, Assyria and Babylon...
there was no Iraq in those days... If you look in the other
departments you will see artifacts from other ancient civilizations...
they mention Ceylon, they do not mention Sri Lanka the modern day
term. Come on chaps, fair play... I think you are splitting hairs on
this one...
I read cairolive.com every morning and enjoy the read, but this one was very unfair and gives a very wrong impression... The British Museum has nothing to to with Blair or Bush...

Crazy exhibit I think it's
wonderful. Wish I could have seen this!
I was however, lucky enough to be at the Millennium Celebration in
2000 at the Jean Michel Jarre concert.. Will never forget it.. Hope to
get back there again one day soon.
Horseman revisited I am an American of German
descent. Unfortunately I don't speak Arabic. I am very interested in
seeing the series "Horseman
without a Horse", about which I have heard so much. Here
in America, as you know, most Americans are completely brainwashed by
the media. If this TV series were available with English subtitles it
would go a long way to take the scales out of the eyes of many Americans.
Cairo by night Good
work Youssef. Keep
it up. I hope you are doing well..
Bibliotheca... Fantastic architecture... I am in awe! This is an
incredible site that I hope, someday, to be able to witness!
Darwich's corner Darwich's diaries
are a pleasure to read.
Sounds like Darwich enjoys his
life and his call to Egypt is deep. I think he is very fortunate
because it sounds like he knows
where his heart is. I wish him well in life and I am sure
that is how it shall be. I enjoyed the story of his life -- thank
you for the fine write.

The usual praise I read your updates every
day. They are great. You captured
all the important topics as I thought you would. The coverage
from Cairo in the US media is intense these days and you have a way of
getting that. CLICK HERE FOR LATEST EGYPT HEADLINES Having visited Cairo four times
in 2000 I do have a great passion for your city and your people. I
would just like to voice my opinion in that I appreciate cairolive.com
where I can be taken back in my mind and know what is going on in the
streets of Cairo and surrounding areas. Good luck with the peace rallies.
Your voice is heard around the world. Hey guys, great
job on the Shrinking Globe
and Zahma
news pages. Thanks.
Good
website, with lots of different subjects. I like the newspaper
links. Keep up the good work.
Nabeel Attia I just saw your update of
news this afternoon and it seems you follow all available
news in both English and Arabic very well. Thank you. CLICK
