Hey Bush! Read this.

16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, 17 the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. 18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother, 19 then do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from among you. 20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you. 21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

The War -or- Free gasoline for everyone

Which do you want?

3 trillion dollars, the cost of the war in dollars
            divided by $100 per barrel equals
30 billion barrels, the cost of the war in barrels
            divided by 15 million barrels/day,
            the daily usage of oil for transportation =
2000 days, the cost of the war in days of gas, 
            divided by 365 days per year =
5+ years, the cost of the war in years of gasoline

Which is about as long as the war has been going on.

So, we have a choice:
continue the war -or- free gasoline for everyone, from now on!

Chris hedges on Obama

As a senator he has promoted nuclear energy as "green." He has been lauded by the nuclear power industry, which is determined to resume building nuclear power plants across the country. He has voted to continue to fund the Iraq war. He opposed Rep. John Murtha's call for immediate withdrawal. He refused to join the 13 senators who voted against confirming Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state. He voted in July 2005 to reauthorize the Patriot Act. He did not support an amendment that was part of a bankruptcy bill that would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent. He opposed a bill that would have reformed the notorious Mining Law of 1872. He did not support the single-payer health care bill HR676, sponsored by Reps. Dennis Kucinich and John Conyers. He supports the death penalty. He worked tirelessly in the Senate in 2005 to pass a class-action "reform" bill that was part of a large lobbying effort by financial firms, which make up Obama's second-biggest single bloc of donors. The law, with the Orwellian title the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA), would effectively shut down state courts as a venue to hear most class-action lawsuits. This has long been a cherished goal of large corporations as well as the Bush administration. It effectively denies redress in many of the courts where these cases have a chance of defying powerful corporate challenges. It moves these cases into corporate-friendly federal courts dominated by Republican judges. Even Hillary Clinton voted against this naked effort to allow corporations to carry out flagrant discrimination, consumer fraud and wage-and-hour violations.

and a comment:

on July 16, 2006 at 9:23 pm3 Omar Muhammad Jackson

Islam is a monotheistic religion that acknowledges the total sovereignty of Almighty God.

President Bush tried to explain that the word, “Islam,” means PEACE. This is true but inadequate. It means SUBMISSION TO GOD. The only way to properly submit to God (Allah) is to become a Muslim.

Muhammad is the “seal of the prophets” and the QUR’AN (our Holy Book) is the completion of the series revelations received by Christians and Jews.

Allah has given us his law and we are obliged to fulfill our duties, the 5 Pillars of Faith:

1. SHAHADA (recitation of creed);

2. SALAT (daily prayer);

3. ZAKAT (almsgiving);

4. SAWM (fasting); and

5. HAJ (pilgrimage).

CREED & PRAYER

We pray throughout the day after ablutions for purification: at dawn, midday, midafternoon, sunset and nightfall. We face Mecca when we pray. When possible men pray in a MOSQUE with an IMAM (prayer leader); such is required on Friday (the holy day). The recitation of the Shahada and daily prayer are closely aligned.

FASTING

During RAMADAN (the ninth month of the Muslim calendar), we fast during the daylight hours in remenbrance of God’s revelation coming to Muhammad.

PILGRIMAGE

All Muslims should try to reach the holy city of MECCA at least once. Special rituals are conducted there during the 12th month of the lunar calendar.

ALMSGIVING

As for almsgiving, we give to the poor. In some places a Mosque will tax members and give to the needy in fulfillment of this obligation. This is similar to special collections taken up by churches.

I mention these pillars to give you a needed lesson. Those who follow these practices without compromise are the ones you call vermin. However, the West has lost its soul. Christianity with all its corruptions would leave you in a better state than the godless secularism and materialism that possesses you.

You condemn us but we believe in God. What do you believe in?

Most Christians do not attend their churches and rarely if ever pray. They give to charities when there is a tidy tax-exemption, but otherwise, especially among Republicans, condemn the working poor. How much do you make a year, $50,000, $90,000, more? Do you tithe ten percent or more to your churches, like they ask you? I bet you do not. Your pope preaches peace, but you only listen to him when it is convenient for you. I sometimes think we Muslims take the bishop of Rome more seriously than his own flock!

Abortion is illegal in Muslim countries, can you say the same? No! You murder your own children. A few of our women and children join the martyrs in witnessing for our faith and freedom. And they are driven by no selfish aim, something you cannot claim.

We will not have to fight you in the battlefield. Our seed is already planted in your cities and towns. You have no children and we have dozens. Given time, you will be the minority. The crusaders came and left, and we were still there. The British came and left, and we were still there. And I assure you, when the Jews and the white Americans are long gone, we will still be here.

Who knows, maybe one day instead of a bishop in Rome, we will talk of the Vatican as the home to the world’s chield Imam? France is already ours and America will be the “United Islamic States.” The rest of the world will follow. Then the world will know peace, and all will obey and praise Allah!

Tibet

"Initially led by monks, the demonstrations began peacefully on March 10, the anniversary of a failed uprising in 1959 against Chinese rule, and then spiraled out of control."

Yes the invasion of Tibet by the Chinese in 1959 is called a "failed uprising". Hard to believe.

See for yourself, here.

Too late, sorry, the article has been rewritten. The article now omits mention of the anniversary, or the word "monks", and now reads:

"The protests have been the biggest challenge in almost two decades to Chinese rule in Tibet, a Himalayan region that the People's Liberation Army occupied in 1950 after several decades of effective independence."

In 1959, the Dali Lama fled to India. (Wikipedia)
