I am not following events that closely, but it seems that the disinformation system in GW II (Gulf War) differs from the one employed in GW I. There's a lot more media confusion now as to events taking place in Iraq. Take that city Umm Qasr: yesterday it was reported that the city has been...

Yesterday I browsed the Washington Times (yep "Times", not "Post") and found a banner saying "Boycott France". I followed the link and found this page => https://www.newsmaxstore.com/contribute/france/index.cfm It reminds me of the Nazi campaigns in the 1930s not to buy at Jewish stores.

True. It is time to view democracy as something that's not granted (despite the fact that it's guaranteed in nearly every constitution on earth).

It is also satisfying to know that a vast majority of the population in countries that belong to the "coalition of the willing" (UK, Australia, Japan etc.) oppose military action. Blair is a goner, he needed the support of the conservative opposition to get his OK from parliament. These people...

Excellent page. I love the patriotic posters => http://www.whitehouse.org/initiatives/posters/index.asp

Two days ago I watched a feature about an U.S. aircraft carrier cruising in the Persian Gulf. Of course, there are daily prayer services held on board. I was just shocked to see that these services were concluded with prayers for the president and for fortune of war. It is not that far-fetched...

@ Iraq war: while I agree that Saddam is the prototype of a monstrous dictator I seriously doubt that Iraq poses a global threat. Furthermore, there's no evidence that Iraq is linked to 9/11. Lastly, it s bizarre to think that peace, democracy and stability can be achieved with military force...

Just "local" news for fans of classical music. Seiji Ozawa to take stage at opera performance in Vienna Japanese maestro Seiji Ozawa said Monday he plans to make a special appearance in "Die Zauber Flote fur Kinder" when he conducts the Mozart juvenile opera at the Vienna State Opera on Feb...

Weapons of Mass Destruction 404 => http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk :D

I share your hopes, but I'm afraid the die is already cast. Mr. Bush will follow the war-path with or without "allies". The consequences for the U.S. reputation will be indeed disastrous, not only in the Islamic world. Acting unilaterally doesn't exactly help to gain confidence among those who...

The only problem I see is that in order to prosecute someone for war crimes is that actual war crimes have to be committed. Starting a war itself does not constitute a war crime. As for TB: my personal impression is that he transformed Labour into a yuppie party that seems to care more for...

Lol, what else did you expext of the Economist? A new term was created last week by top hawk Donald Rumsfeld: he talked about "old Europe" when he referred to France and Germany which both strongly oppose a war against Iraq. That was a clever move, as he *obviously* managed to split the...

Haha, that made me think of Monty Python immediately. Remember John Cleese and the Ministry of Silly Walks? => http://www.pythonsite.de/javascr/walk.htm :D

Some related news: Human clone firm claims first cloned Japanese on the way: report A cloning firm funded by the Raelians, the sect which recently claimed to have succeeded in producing two cloned humans, says the world's first cloned Japanese baby will be born next week, a news report says...

They do not rank among Amazon's most popular anyhow. ;) There's only one book that mentions Jesus' tomb in Japan: Jesus lived in Japan, interestingly written by an Indian, lol. Here's another article on Herai: Strangest Story Ever Told Weird Legend of Jesus in Japan It?s a story of Jesus...

Well, if you ever watched Monthy Python's "Life of Brian" you know how these miracles were accomplished. Jesus in India? Nah, Jesus in Japan! Remember the Herai thread? ;)

Well, if the highest authorities condoned it, lol... Jesus 'healed using cannabis' Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his...

Yep, pretty close. :victory: I like the aspect of saving endangered species most:

Here's a FAQ page on cloning, quite interesting => http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/cloning/cloningfaq.jsp FAQs included: Is cloning "unnatural"? Is an identical twin essentially the same as a clone? Could some lunatic clone Hitler if human cloning were perfected? Would a clone have a...

A lot of people have no clue what cloning actually means and conjure images that seem to originate right from Hollywood. While I am not so fond of experimenting with Hitler's, Einstein's or Pitt's genetical info cloning could result in immense medical progress. However, access to such technology...
