Word from the publisher

On occasion we need to reflect.

For years, I have sought to bring you the truth, and nothing but the truth so that you will know and you can judge for yourself, and have knowledge and light. I started Arabic News with the words "it is best to light a candle than to curse the darkness." I don't know if I have succeeded or not. But I tried and will continue to try. As a USA based company, we thought that things will be easy in the land of liberty. It is real tough, so keep us in your thoughts. I am being attempted to be recruited to the USA intelligence, and we will not work for anyone. Only to Thomas Jefferson.

It is in memory and love for Thomas Jefferson and his friends that I give you my work.

Sincerely,

The publisher.

These words will live in history for ever,and start with:

WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
