The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan addresses the International Press Conference on ?Guidance to America and the World in a Time of Trouble,? held in Washington, D.C., May 3.

In the record-breaking blockbuster documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” by Michael Moore, Mr. Bush gleefully makes the comment that it was wonderful to be at this particular black-tie dinner with “the haves and the have mores” which were his “base.” This base of neo-conservative think tanks and power-brokers are quickly becoming his demise as they suffer more attacks from the exposure of their policies, mindset and actions.

Eleven days following Minister Farrakhan’s May 3 address, Sen. Roberts echoed him in a report, according to the Seattle Times, saying: We need to restrain what are growing U.S. messianic instincts, a sort of global social engineering where the United States feels it is both entitled and obligated to promote democracy, by force if necessary.

 The chorus echoing Minister Farrakhan’s strong stand is increasing, however, maybe not with the same strong voice.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released a 500-page report July 9, which implicated the CIA as a culprit in falsifying information that Iraq was in possession of operable weapons of mass destruction, prompting the President to go forward with pre-emptive strikes, the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq.

Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), chairman of the committee, called the fabricated report a “global intelligence failure,” but he was careful not to imply that Mr. Bush and his advisors were responsible.

However, 11 days following Minister Farrakhan’s May 3 address, Sen. Roberts echoed him in a report, according to the Seattle Times, saying: “We need to restrain what are growing U.S. messianic instincts, a sort of global social engineering where the United States feels it is both entitled and obligated to promote democracy, by force if necessary.”

In this same report by Steven Thomma and James Kuhnhenn, conservative U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) and conservative columnist George Will, were challenging the “neo-conservative doctrine that the United States can remake the Middle East by toppling Saddam Hussein and nurturing a democracy.”

“It would be foolish,” says Rep. Hyde, “not to say ruinously arrogant, to believe that we can determine the future of Iraq.” Rep. Hyde is chairman of the House International Relations Committee.

Gerard Baker, in a recent Financial Times article, wrote, “It is hard to find anyone who admits to having supported the war at all. If success has many fathers and failure is an orphan, Washington is now running the largest and most desperate orphanage in modern intellectual history.”

Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security adviser under former president Jimmy Carter, warned in an article appearing in the New Republic that “America’s credibility has been tarnished among its traditional friends; its prestige has plummeted worldwide, and global hostility toward the United States has reached a historical high.”

Although the New York Times, so far, may be the only major medium to admit and apologize for its role in hyping its readers to support the war, noted CBS News journalist Dan Rather appeared on the June 30 “Larry King Show” and appeared to shock Mr. King when he said that the Bush administration “just about convinced the wire services and others only to carry the ‘killed in actual combat’ rather than the ‘total number of casualties killed’ in the country.”

Minister Farrakhan’s May 3 address has also seemingly affected others who have made measured stands on various issues raised during the address. Two critical points were established when the state of Israel recently rebuked the ruling of the International Criminal Court in the Hague, Netherlands with respect to the “illegal” wall being constructed along the so-called West Bank borders of Israel and Palestine.

The first point exposes the neo-conservatives’ support of the hegemony of Israel in the Middle East. Reminiscent of the Berlin Wall, whose demise was espoused as the epitome of a flourishing freedom and democracy, the White House was the first to jump in front to ignore the ruling of the International Court, which has now been backed by a UN resolution stating that the wall should be demolished.

The second point reveals the truth of the war on terrorism as a disguised war against “Islam.” Minister Farrakhan explained that such a war would create vehement divisions among the countries of the world and eventually lead to the war of all wars, called Armageddon.

European Union Commission spokesman Jean Christopher Filori expressed the disagreement of the European body concerning the war, saying, “The European Union continues to call on Israel to remove the barrier from inside the occupied Palestinian territories, including in and around East Jerusalem.”

More and more issues are dividing western European countries and others from the United States. This includes Russia, which denies a U.S. government report that Russia will send some 40,000 troops to Iraq.

In a July 3 article appearing in London’s Daily Telegraph, it was reported that U.S. Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez had ordered British troops to attack Iranian positions which had moved into certain previously disputed territories across the Iraqi border in July 2003. The British troops disregarded the orders and opted to use diplomatic channels.

When Dick Cheney, Richard Perle, William Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz and other neo-conservatives now in Mr. Bush’s administration laid out the plan of attack against the Muslim world, namely the “Project for A New American Century,” Syria and Iran were targeted to be the next victims of attack following Iraq.

In July 2002, nearly two years before Minister Farrakhan’s May 3 warning to Mr. Bush and the world, Minister Farrakhan completed a tour of Africa and the Middle East, wherein he advised Iraq and other Muslim countries to get rid of any weapons of mass destruction that could, and would, serve as a pretext for the U.S. to attack their countries.

This past June, Iran announced that it is now a member of the world’s “Nuclear Club” and has to be “recognized by the international community as a member of the nuclear club. This is an irreversible path.”

In a recent address during the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Black United Front, Minister Farrakhan said that it is Allah (God) who will decide the fate of America if she fails to correct herself. His divine advice is that all nations should disarm if any one nation is expected to disarm.

Iraq, by all conditions and circumstances since the March 2003 attack, is a trap, as Minister Farrakhan warned. Nevertheless, neither the presidential nor the vice-presidential candidates, John Kerry and John Edwards, have campaigned for the U.S. military to pull out of Iraq.

It appears the neo-conservatives have both parties tied up.
