Seems the press is doing its part to help Israel start a war with Iran.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
From the AP:
"A senior Israeli intelligence official said Iranian troops helped Hezbollah fire a missile that damaged an Israeli warship off the Lebanese coast Friday night. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information, said about 100 Iranian soldiers are in Lebanon and helped fire the Iranian-made, radar-guided C-102 at the ship that killed one and left three missing."

Manoj Shah was taking his usual journey home on Tuesday evening when a bomb went off on his Mumbai commuter train. Mr Shah, 32, was travelling in the first-class carriage where the explosion took place: he didn't stand a chance and was killed. But Mr Shah was not your average commuter. Every day, he handled diamonds worth thousands of pounds. He may even have been carrying some with him in the train when the bomb went off.
Mr Shah was one of Mumbai's diamond traders. Yesterday, the city's famous jewel market was deep in mourning. Mr Shah was not the only diamond trader to die: the diamond market suffered the worst death toll of any single community in the bombings.

Hey, I just heard from joycamp. His father in law, who is battling leukemia, had a bad fall overnight and is failing. If you're inclined to pray or light candles or spin good energy, please do so. Joycamp is a cool, cool cat.

"As recently as June 2006, Mayada Zhaair, spokeswoman for the Women's Rights Association, a local NGO, reported, "We've observed an increase in the number of women being sexually abused and raped in the past four months, especially in the capital."
No one knows how many abducted women have never returned. As one Iraqi police inspector testified, "Some gangs specialize in kidnapping girls, they sell them to Gulf countries. This happened before the war too, but now it is worse, they can get in and out without passports." Others interviewed by Human Rights Watch argued that such trafficking in women had not occurred before the invasion."
first thing I read when I woke up this morning
this needs some serious coverage in the news

Father Greeley has a pretty interesting column up this day. For your wingnut friends who refuse to listen to secular voices, it might help to print the thing out and let 'em read it. Nothing startling, but it does place some pretty important information into an easily portable and understandable form.

I am so, so sorry, Barndog. I went through that a couple of years ago with my beloved Golden, Checkers...really fast growing cancer on his back leg. Within one week, it went from the size of a plum to the size of a melon. Dogs are such good friends to us...
I'm so sorry.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israel fired rockets near the Lebanese-Syrian border on Saturday, heightening fears that it could hit Syria, as well as Lebanon, in a campaign to dislodge Syrian-backed Hizbollah fighters from its northern border.
At least 29 civilians were killed in other air strikes as Israel battered Lebanon for a fourth straight day. Dozens of Hizbollah rockets fell in Israel, wounding several people.
Witnesses said Israeli planes fired four rockets at the Masnaa crossing point between the last Lebanese post and the first Syrian army position on the Beirut-Damascus road.

ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - President Bush backed away on Saturday from a public confrontation over Russia's democracy with President Vladimir Putin, adhering to a pledge not to lecture the Kremlin leader.
At a joint news conference, the two made clear they discussed their differences privately on what critics say are declining civil liberties in Russia, and stepped gingerly around the issue in their public comments.
With Bush needing Russia's help on pressuring Iran and North Korea to forswear nuclear weapons, and with Middle East violence surging, democracy issues did not appear to play as dominating role in their talks as when they met in Slovakia last year.

I hear ya. Watching my dad go through treatments for leukemia, I know how much it tears your body down to, hopefully, rebuild your blood system. Leukemia (AML) is treated with the most potent chemo available...it's a farking nightmare, how weak one gets when they're on a 24/7 chemo drip.

Olmert is a moderate man. The defense minister is a leftist former head of Israel’s biggest labor union. These guys are clear headed and resolute.
They will do what needs to be done to crush the Islamist thugs from Hezbollah. Israel pulled out of south Lebanon six years ago, unilaterally, and look what results.
This war will be won. To my fellow left-wingers who hate Israel, learn a little about what really goes on. If that does not work, blame Lieberman. If that’s not enough, then as my Grandma used to say "Gay cocken offet yam." (Go find a Yiddish speaker to translate)

Isreal may consider it a victory to slaughter a bunch or Arabs but it is only harming them as a nation.
They wouldn't need to "defend themselves" if they made a just peace with Palestians instead of acting like Boers.

The Palestians have "recognized" Israel's "right to exist" within its 1967 borders on more than one occaission (the latest in the prison document" but that isn't enough. Why don'twe hear any insistance on Israel recognizing the right of Palestine to exist?
