Mid East Follies

Are there no journalistic standards in Salon.Com? This: http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2006/07/15/fourpairs/

Is really bad. For one thing, how can you write an article about Israeli occupation and not mention that Israel has stopped occupying Lebannon 6 years ago? The second point is obviously that Lebannon's government is in a prepetual weakness mode. It has had 6 years of little Israeli response to reign in Hizbulla, and had done nothing. It can hardly expect more Israeli leniency in face of its inaction towards Hizbullah.

Losing Obama

I heard Barak Obama speak in Philladelphia when I was visitng before the 2004 US Presidential election, and I was spell bound. He's a great, energetic speaker. But already I realised he was a politician at heart, and here's his "fault's on both side" nonsense speech about Religion and alleged anti-Religion in America: http://obama.senate.gov/speech/060628-call_to_renewal_keynote_address/index.html

I'll find time and Blog more 'bout this later, but for now, see:
