[FBIS Translated Text]


After the Syria Accountability Act, the US
Congress has brought us the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Accountability Act.

Syria is a republic and Saudi Arabia is a
monarchy. Syria is a secular country and the Koran
is the basis of rule in Saudi Arabia. Syria's
economy is socialist or controlled while Saudi
Arabia's economy is free. So what, in the view of
the US Congress, brings these two countries that are
different in form and substance?

What brings them together is their stand on
Israel. The two acts come from the US Congress but
are totally Israeli and were prepared by agents of or
apologists for Sharon's criminal government. Most of
the points in them are Israeli ones.

As to Syria, there are "discoveries' listed in 21
points that revolve around the support for national
liberation movements which the act considers
terrorist. Then there is the Congress stand in six
points that start by demanding from Syria to renounce
terrorism immediately and unconditionally -- as if it
is practicing it -- and close down the terrorist
organizations' offices in the country. It ends with
a "political statement" that explains the US stand,
which is no more than the Israeli Government's stand
that is embraced by the Israeli members of Congress.
There are in the end details of the sanctions that
will be imposed on Syria if it does not comply with
Israeli dictates through Washington.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Accountability Act is
of the same type but with a difference in details.
Under the "discoveries" clause, there are 11 points
that talk about financial support for the Palestinian
"terrorist" organizations and the spread of hatred and
intolerance by religious institutions that receive
Saudi financing. The most insolent part in this act
is probably its citing of the Mimoi translation
company, which is an Israeli establishment of
distortion and machinations that a former intelligence
officer was sent to set up during Binyamin Netanyahu's
premiership. The "Congress stand" also calls on
Saudi Arabia "to cooperate with the United States in
the security field against terrorism immediately and
unconditionally and to close down all the charities
that encourage, train, or incite terrorism. It ends
with proposed sanctions.

As I understand it from the two acts, the Syrians
(and Lebanese) are required to recognize Israel that
occupies the Golan and the Shab'a Farms and the Saudis
are required to become "Protestants."

I propose "A Punishment of the United States Act."
Since we cannot find an Arab parliament to submit it
to its government, I propose that the Arab League's
Secretariat General submit this proposed act to the
upcoming Arab summit.

I therefore propose:

Draft Act:

To prevent the United States from supporting
Israeli terrorism with money and weapons, using the
veto at the Security Council, and seizing Iraq's oil
and to withdraw the US armed forces from Iraq and the
entire Middle East.

First Part: Short title:

The act to be called "The US Accountability Act
for the Year 2003."

Part Two: The discoveries:

1. The United States supports Israel with money
and weapons and is responsible for all the killings
and destruction in the Palestinian territories.

2. The US Government launched war on Iraq
without a UN resolution allowing it to do so.

3. The US Government claimed there were weapons
of mass destruction in Iraq. It has been proved that
they did not exist and hence that Iraqi did not
threaten the security of the region and the world.

4. The US Government is holding detainees in
Guantanamo Bay, thus violating every international
law. Leading judges in allied Britain have declared
that the treatment of the detainees there is terrible
and barbaric.

5. The US Government refuses to join the
international war crimes tribunal because it knows
that US officers and soldiers will stand before it.

6. The US Government repealed the treaty banning
ballistic missiles, is threatening Syria and Iran on
the issue of missiles, and is encouraging Israel to
possess and develop them.

Part Three: The Arab summit's stand is:

1. The Arab summit calls on the United States to
stop supporting Israel with money and weapons
immediately and unconditionally.

2. It calls on the United States to transfer the
$4.25 billion in its annual military aid to Israel to
the Palestinians so as to rebuild what Israel has
destroyed in their country with US weapons.

3. The Palestinians maintain the right to demand
additional reparations from the United States in
future for the losses in lives and possessions it has
caused them.

4. US military forces should withdraw from Iraq
immediately while appreciating their role in bringing
down Saddam Husayn.

5. All the Zionist Christian organizations that
want the world to be destroyed over seven years before
the arrival of their messiah should be dissolved,
their missionaries should be banned from propagating
their extremist message on television, and their funds
should confiscated.

6. A binding timetable for the US forces to
withdraw from the entire region.

7. The Middle East should be declared a zone
free from nuclear and all other weapons of mass
destruction. The United States should undertake to
disarm Israel of these weapons.

Part Four: Political Statement:

1, 2, 3, and 4 -- The United States has encouraged
Israel to violate the UN resolutions and it violated
the UN resolutions in its turn. It must change its
stand immediately and unconditionally and send the
sponsors of the two acts against Syria and Saudi
Arabia and the neo-conservatives in and around the
administration to Guantanamo Bay for trial on charges
of treason against their country and entire humanity.

Part Five: Sanctions and Authorization:

1. US military presence in all the Arab
countries should be terminated.

2. US companies, especially the oil ones, should
be expelled from the Arab countries and all kinds of
trade with the United States should be banned.

Finally, this is what I have to say about the
United States. As to the summit, there is water or
the waves of the Euphrates, Tigris, Nile, and Yarmuk
Rivers in my mouth.
