PUPPET MAGICPull those Strings

What would happen in Iraq if we started pulling our troops out next week?

Yes, there would be chaos and a breakdown of civil organization. And isn’t that exactly what is going on while our troops remain there? So why should our people stay around to get caught in the crossfire? What debt do we owe to the Iraqis?

There’s no evidence that any significant number of Iraqis want US troops to remain in their country. Why, then, should the US expend lives and wealth in the effort to force Iraq to become what it has never been, a “democracy” fitting the US definition of what it should be?

After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the British tried to build a state called “Iraq” on the lines of a pattern chosen by them. They used British military power to prop up their chosen puppet leader in Baghdad. Who authorized the US to inherit the colonialist policy of the British?

The Americans, the Europeans, and even the Israelis really don’t know what it is all about, do they? During the last generationת hundreds of thousands of children have been taught all over the Muslim world in madrass schools to become martyrs for Allah in order to kill the infidels.

These youngsters not only are ready to do it, but are actually in the process of doing it. Bombs are going off all over the world killing and maiming thousands of people, not only on 9/11 in the US, in London, Madrid and Bali, but in Africa, India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and many other places. The first signs of the Islamic tsunami are already here, but the West doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want to understand what is coming.

The Americans, instead of realizing that this is as bad as World War Two, or even worse, are going to pull out of Iraq, handing it over to Iran on a silver platter. Next may come the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf states.

When dirty bombs go off all over Western towns, who is going to stop the Iranians?

Side by Side: Twelve Multicultural Puppet Plays $62.89 When she first became interested in using puppets in library programs, Jean Pollock discovered there were few interesting scripts suitable for amateur puppeteers that were appropriate for performance in library and school settings. She decided to write plays taking into account the puppet collection available, the time available for rehearsal and performance, and limited puppeteering skills. The plays acknowledge that children know what is funny and what is not, appreciate and use witticisms, and have the sophistication to follow a plot and participate in the joy of creating an illusion. Playful and fastpaced, the scripts are simple enough to be suitable for young audiences, while the humor and interaction between puppets and the audience will extend the appeal to older children as well. Each play is supported with useful production notes, program building notes to adapt the plays for classroom and library use, and a bibliography listing books and media that can be used to develop a study unit or program around the play. Author: Pollock, Jean M.
