Who can hope to be safe? who sufficiently cautious?
Guard himself as he may, every moment’s an ambush.

IsraelNN.com) Nearly 60% of Israelis say the Israeli government is secretly negotiating the division of Jerusalem with the Palestinian Authority - despite government attempts to blur the existence of such talks.

This and other findings were the results of a survey carried out by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies in Bar Ilan University. The official numbers will be presented this Tuesday at a special seminar at Bar Ilan. The Guest of Honor will be Trade Minister Eli Yishai, the head of the government coalition member Shas Party. Yishai has stated frequently that the moment it becomes clear that Jerusalem is being negotiated, his party will quit the coalition.

(IsraelNN.com) Iran, disgraced and censured, is nonetheless seeking to obtain a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council to represent Asia for the 2010-2012 term, when Indonesia completes its rotation.

The Islamic Republic, thrice sanctioned by the very body on which it hopes to secure a seat, brazenly applied nonetheless for the privilege, despite facing three pending resolutions against it. At least two are calling for more sanctions in response to its ongoing defiance of demands by the body on which it wishes to serve, that it halt its nuclear development program.

According to a report by Haaretz, however, it is likely that Japan, "not only a central and respected UN member but also [which contributes] the largest sum after the United States to the UN budget" will beat Iran for the Asia seat.

Iran to the rescue...have no fear...Iran is here.........

..Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Sunday that Iran is preparing a package to help resolve the regional and international problems.

He made the remarks in a joint press conference with his visiting counterpart from the Philippines, Alberto Romulo.

"Since the Middle East region and the entire world are suffering from a variety of crises, Tehran is preparing a package to put forward for the settlement of regional and international problems and present it publicly," Mottaki noted.

"We think all sides, including the Group 5+1 would make use of the package."
The Group 5+1 -- United States, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany -- are to meet in Shanghai, eastern China, on April 16.

The meeting, to be held at the level of political directors of the Group, is expected to discuss Iran's nuclear standoff with the West.

JEDDAH, 13 April 2008 — A private initiative by three Saudi women activists to raise awareness about children’s rights is facing problems of “bureaucracy and misunderstanding,” resulting in officials halting public lectures to be held at a Jeddah mall last weekend.

The organizers of the campaign, entitled “Saudi Arabia’s First Campaign to Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect,” said that they had secured official approval before its launch at the beginning of this month.

The three women organizers include Amal Al-Khalifa, a psychologist at King Faisal Specialist Hospital; Souad Al-Shammri, a lawyer; and Fatimah Al-Ansari, a children’s rights advocate.

Al-Khalifa, who is also a member of Amnesty International, said they chose April as “it is internationally considered the month of prevention of child abuse.”

To the three women’s shock and surprise, the most crucial part of their campaign, which involved lectures for parents at Sawary Landmark Mall, was suddenly stopped last weekend.

The lectures, which were to be delivered by the three women, were to be held on Wednesdays and Thursdays at the mall throughout April.

“I can’t explain what I don’t know,” said Al-Khalifa, commenting on why the lectures were stopped

Istanbul • An Italian woman artist who was hitch-hiking to the Middle East dressed as a bride to promote world peace has been found murdered in Turkey.

The naked body of Giuseppina Pasqualino di Marineo, 33, known as Pippa Bacca, was found in bushes near the city of Gebze on Friday.

She had said she wanted to show that she could put her trust in the kindness of local people. Turkish police say they have detained a man in connection with the killing.

Prominent Qatar-based Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has sparked controversy by issuing a religious law allowing Muslims to consume tiny amounts of alcohol, which is banned in Islam.

"The latest fatwa caused confusion among people... We could have done without it," the editor of the Qatari daily Ash-Sharq, Abdullatif al-Mahmoud, wrote on Thursday.

In his fatwa published on Tuesday in the Qatar's Al-Arab newspaper, the Egyptian-born Qaradawi said that consuming drinks containing small quantities of alcohol that is "constituted naturally through fermentation" did not violate Islamic teachings.


"The presence of alcohol in a proportion of five in a thousand (0.5 percent) is not banned because it is a minimal quantity, especially when it is produced by natural fermentation. Hence there's nothing wrong in consuming such a drink," Qaradawi said

The desecration of graves has been taboo since the dawn of humanity. How do they even attempt to justify it?

Lucky you. Up here, we define snow as "that white s**t that paralyzes the state at least five times every year between October and May".

/seriously, we got hit with enough snow to declare a level 3 emergency (only emergency vehicles moving, anyone else gets ticketed) in the middle of March

re: #82 Bubblehead II

I had a neighbor whose paranoia was close to Fox Mulder levels once. She used to call the sheriff claiming I was shooting over her house (about 1/2 mile from mine). How could she tell? She claimed she could hear the shot from my shotgun hitting her roof.

The desk sergeant's response?

"Ma'am, it's raining."

And it was, too- I was inside, curled up in front of the TV, with a cup of coffee, a good book, and Forbidden Planet.

I've moved, so has she, and I have no idea where she is, now.

/don't care, either

Some believe the group, known as Jundallah, is linked to al-Qaida. Jundallah, or God's Brigade, has waged a low-level insurgency in southeastern Iran.

Fars said the mosque's cleric gives a weekly speech denouncing the Bahai faith and Wahabism — an austere brand of Sunni Islam practiced mostly in Saudi Arabia. Such speeches are not unusual in Iranian mosques

Nahh, he'd just say it was the Bush-Cheney Orbital Weather Control Laser Satellites being used to discredit him.

Of course, if the people who don't believe in Global (Gorebull) Warming think the Earth is flat, too, logically, they wouldn't attempt to launch satellites because it would be illogical for them to be able to acheive orbit around a "pancake".

/picturing Mr. Spock raising one eyebrow in disbelief, as he surmises that Gore's brain is in a tight orbit around his lower intestine.
