LETTERS _

Dear Sir:

Saddam Hussein knew ex-_
actly what he meant by the
term,. ‘“‘Mother of all

battles” when he described —

the Gulf War. He didn’t
fight back, instead he laid the
goundwork for further con-
flicts in the Mid-East.

God has used Saddam to
give the world a quick lesson
in evolution... The Apostle
Paut said that when people
ate preoccupied with global

Peace and security, sudden |

destruction shall come upon
them as travail upon a
woman with child.”

The prophets Daniel and
John saw the birth pangs as

four stages of evolution. .

Beginning with the first beast
to rise from the sea in the
gulf which is like a lion with
eagle’s wings.

These wings symbolize the
warlike attitude of the
creature, Hisory views this
beast as the symbol of an-
cient (Iraq). Babylon. The
Nebuchadnezzar in. those
times was just as warlike as
Saddam; but. after grazing
like a bull in the fields for
seven years his warlike wings
were plucked and he con-
verted to Judaism.

The _ next beast in the
biblical scenario is a bear,
represented in ancient history

by Iran, People. who know -

what any angry bear is'like
will understand the reaction
to the Western domination
of the Middle East in the
aftermath of the Saddam-
Bush war when the Ayatollah

A beast with the head ofa
lion, the feet of a bear and
the body of a leopard rises to
complete the evolutionary
process.

bolizes: the modern

‘page, April 24, 1991).

Over the past few months
during the Persian Gulf
crisis, your columns carried
various articles and commen-
tary on and by the erudite
Mr. Ramzi, who is an ultra-
sound technician at Mills
Memorial Hospital.

Mr, Ramzi’s statements on
Middle Eastern politics,
history and geography reveal
the same boring invective
against the new villain and
Public Enemy No. 1, that
Great Satan, the United
States (and, by implication,
her accomplice and northern
neighbour, Canada). We are
still being subjected to
rhetoric about the merciless
attack by the US and her evil
allies on the peace loving,
defenceless Iraq, months
after the conclusion of the

Dear Sirs:

1 was greatly disturbed
when I read the classified ad.
sections of your March 24,
1991 paper, and saw a help
wanted ad for the Stikine
River Fish Company.

In this ad it stated that
preference would be given to
native people.

The native people have
been fighting for equal rights
and against racism (and
rightly so) for too many
years. Does this give them
the right to use the same tac-
tics as they are fighting
against.

I am surprised that such
blatant racism was allowed
to be published.

distorted reasoning he
desires, ‘but’ to’ have this
gentleman’s ideas propound-
ed in your columns as those
of some authority in the field
begs too much of your
readers’ forbearance —
especially when jux-
taposed with those of a com-
mentator like Gwynne Dyer.

Of particular irony is the
fact that Mr. Ramzi received
training in ultrasound ‘at a
university in the United
States. Oh, how it must have
gnawed at him, having to
subject himself to life in that
vile country!

Mr, Ramzi is an excellent
ultrasonographer. Let him
stick to diagnosing . trouble
spots in the bowel, not in the
Middle East.
