The mokery known as the Psa elections are finally over. Yasser, Tony, and Umar showed great will power in not wanting to kick Aun Alis Ass off the stage. Yasser wowed the crowd of 50-60 people with his oh-so iriating yet loveable charm and honesty. After his remarks one comes away with the notion that this guy trully would give his life for Kashmir. Tony Tony Tony. After Aun Ali's deliberate mispronunciation of his name, our resident Pai'san came up, smiled did that Frank sinatra thing that only he can. When approached by a veiment attack on his Paki-ness from a cohort representing satan ..eh. ISRU, He kicked their Ass by being what he is best at being, a welcome pain in the ass of fanaticism. Misha Habib spoke about how her event was destrayed by the Pres. and the VP, the way she was played with was disheartening indeed, but what more can one expect from Pakis. Omar was jumped without mercy and no one could do anything about it. He held his own. Looked 'em in the eye and should have said said 'Screw you...I guarentee you!' Then the show stopper. Rizwan Chaudrey finally made it known that he indeed is NOT the random ISRU member one sees at Busch Student Center. He is a charismatic emotional and Moralistic individual. He was very adament in his dis-apporoval of the treatment his opponent and friend had recieved not long before his remarks. Funny how he wanted to "rip away" the moderates away from what they worked soo hard for just two semesters ago. Oh yes the resident Freak of Rutgers, Asim. To put it in as few words as possible, he dropped out (which I predicted) and backed Rizwan. He wasn't man enough to lose against the othre two candidates so he got up therewith his stupit grin, lied to us and dropped out. Oh yeah "Stop winking at me you dumb turd, I dont play that way"
Predictions
Yasser wins 70/30
Tony wins 70/30
Omer wins 59/41
In another message circulating in Pakistan, the Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, vowed Afghanistan would never revoke the refuge given bin Laden, one of the 10 most wanted men in the United States. Bin Laden's message circulating in Pakistan's deeply conservative Northwest Frontier Province depicts burning U.S., Indian and Israeli flags and a cocked Kalashnikov rifle ready to fire.
''The youth should contact us as soon as possible,'' the message says. ''Territorial boundaries have no importance in our eyes. All the land belongs to God.''
Bin Laden's message, written in Urdu, Pakistan's national language, vowed to continue his battle against America. ''Our jihad will continue until America is expelled from Saudi Arabia and other countries of the world,'' bin Laden's message said.
''It is our responsibility to free the world from their (U.S.) control,'' ''The non-Muslim world should know it well that a Muslim is always ready to die in the name of God.'' ''I am not afraid of America. I will continue my work. No one can stop me,'' the message said.
Washington has accused bin Laden of masterminding the 1998 twin attacks on its embassies in East Africa and wants bin Laden to stand trial on terrorism charges either in the United States or a third country.
The message by the Taliban's supreme leader, Omar, was addressed to the United States and President Clinton and vowed that bin Laden had permanent refuge in Afghanistan.
''Even if the whole of Afghanistan is destroyed we will never deliver Osama,'' it said. ''A Muslim cannot deliver a Muslim to a non-Muslim.''
Omar accused the United States of using bin Laden as a pretext to attack Islam. The message surfaced in Pakistan following last month's visit to the region by Clinton. During a six-hour visit to Pakistan on March 25, Clinton sought the help of Pakistan's ruler, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, to persuade the Taliban to hand over bin Laden.
Omar accused the U.S. of planning further action against the Taliban. The U.S. in 1998 fired Tomahawk cruise missiles at eastern Afghanistan taking aim at alleged training camps operated by bin Laden's Al-Qaida group. Last year the United States barred all investment in and trade with the Taliban. The United Nations followed in November 1999 with limited sanctions against the Taliban also to press for bin Laden's extradition.

I hate this country. Well I really don't hate this counrty, I hate the majority of people this great nation has within it. The beer swiling, sister stealing, dog loving, ball scratching while my-best-friend is-eating type of people. It is those people that the American flag represents; As opposed to the well educated humble statesman-esque nice people I know. The American flag (Long may it wave!) also represents politics for the good and more realisticly, politics- and globalization & world domination- for the bad. Indeed, the American Government has its fingers in every part of the world, but what is the alternative. Children starving tyrants of the mid-east instead holding everyone ransom instead ? Wakko Osama-bin-Ladan type of freaks who hate everybody instead poisoning innocent people ? The Government has to do what they do. Sure, the degree of world domination America is guilty of is a little frightening but the alternative to it is far more troublesome and much more dangerous. The evil empire may be evil to many, but its also " Gods gift to the world" to many others. Just ask the tyrants of Pakistan and India for instance. It's American business initiatives that make the jobs for the many. It's the Indian and Pakistani elite who give those paying gigs to their cronies and friends. Its not our fault is it? But then again maybe the our I refer to is not representing any of us in the first place. As you can see, it was a very troubling Thursday at Brower Commons for me. --The Farhaj --
