			<description>The campaign, which launched on Wednesday, urges Israelis to report the particulars of acquaintances living abroad so that these people, who are &quot;in danger&quot; of marrying non-Jews, can be persuaded to come to Israel...

Gaza mercy ship seized by Israel



by David Masters 





Israeli forces have kidnapped 21 human rights workers who were attempting to take medicines and aid to Palestinians in Gaza.



The workers, from 11 different countries, were travelling into Gaza with the aid supplies aboard the Free Gaza Movement boat, the Spirit of Humanity, when the boat was attacked and boarded by the Israeli navy.



Among the 21 workers forcibly taken were Nobel Laureate Mairead Maguire and  ...</description>

Although its capital is notorious among stoners and college kids for marijuana hazefilled &quot;coffee shops,&quot; Holland has never actually legalized cannabis  the Dutch simply don't enforce their laws against the shops.

SAN'A, Yemen  Yemen released 170 men it had arrested on suspicion of having ties to al-Qaida, security officials said Sunday, two weeks after the terror group announced that Yemen had become the base of its activities for the whole Arabian peninsula.

Editor:



Your editorial of Jan. 28 titled &quot;Disgusting Holocaust denial&quot; cites the erroneous example of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a &quot;Muslim Arab&quot; leader. He is in fact not an Arab. The Persian people are distinct from their Arab neighbors and do not self-identify as Arabs. The Persian heritage is one of a rich and progressive civilization.

They say it could require 30,000 American troops to clear it up.

Westerners have largely failed to condemn a much larger humanitarian concern in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, where the Taliban have killed many more people than died in Gaza.

when someone told him he had a phone call and he walked outside.... 



Kidnapping for ransom is a major industry in certain parts of the world.



Perhaps Felix should of taken a refresher course....

But who would have thought, even a few short months ago, that The Bush Administration would play a leading role in solving serious international financial problems like we are currently facing?

It looks like Toyota suffered it's biggest losses since the Reagan crash of 1987.



Maybe if they hit the deck running with the implementation of the plan Congress finally passed they can avoid an even worse crisis. </description>

19/08/08 &quot;WND&quot; -- - The American people should be eternally grateful to Old Europe for having spiked the Bush-McCain plan to bring Georgia into NATO.



Had Georgia been in NATO when Mikheil Saakashvili invaded South Ossetia, we would be eyeball to eyeball with Russia, facing war in the Caucasus, where Moscow's superiority is as great as U.S. superiority in the Caribbean during the Cuban missile crisis.

Not long ago, Vanity Fair magazine said two White House blunders allowed fanatics to grab control of the Gaza Strip south of Israel: 

 

First, the Bush administration ignored Muslim extremist fever and prodded the Palestinian authority to rush into a hasty 2006 election - then was horrified when militant zealots of the Hamas faction won 56 percent of parliament seats.

I realize some will not accept this, but I do believe it is true.



(yes it is easier for me to see it when republicans do it.  Just like for most of you it is easier for you to spot democrats' foibles).



But this Schuneman guy concerns me and I think his  ...</description>

Will the new ruler(s) make a move to get bin Laden?

Especially compared to Obama and his world tour to meet all the leaders.

I guess they were trying to put a dent in Obama's free pr but it backfired to see them and then switch over to Obama.]]></description>

Meanwhile, he remains holed up and taunting George Bush and his cronies and threatening an encore.

It is clear Bush and cro will do nothing for the remainder of their term to bring them to justice.

So what should the next President do?]]></description>

			<description>A sermon last Friday by a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament openly declared that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam.



The fiery sermon, delivered by Yunis al-Astal and aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV, predicted that Rome would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe."

			<description>Does anybody else wonder why Osama bin Ladin is able to hide in a hole in the hills and hold the world at bay?



Compared to george Bush, who has the most sophisticated military machine in the history of Creation?



Could it be because of commitment and a willingness to sacrifice?



bin Laden is said to keep his own immediate desires within due bounds and concentrate his energies toward the passionate pursuit of higher goals.
