No doubt that Rev. Terry Jones, the minister of a so-called church (in Florida no less) is out to get some publicity. Regardless of the fact that doing so will only stir up emotions among the good Muslims or those ‘on the fence’ in being on the right side of the war on terror, this [...]

Iranian Cleric Calling For Nukes
The hardline spiritual mentor of Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made a public call for producing the ‘special weapons that are a monopoly of a few nations.’ Referring of course to nuclear weapons. In a book written in 2005 and reprinted last year, Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah Yazdi wrote that Iran ‘should not deprive itself’ [...]
Blogger Flees Iran, To London
The blogger who sent the image of a dying protester, Neda Agha-Solta, around the world a year ago has just arrived in London after fleeing Iran via Turkey. Sayeed Valadbaygi thinks the UN sanctions are not enough. Ahmadinejad and his colleagues should be ostracised by all governments, he believes. “We need change in Iran,” he [...]
Saudi Arabia Gives Israel Air Space
Where Israel is concerned, this is how an ally for a lasting peace in the Middle East should behave . Permitting Israel to protect itself from a nuclear armed Iran will not only protect Israel but the rest of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia gets it. Today’s news is chock full of lessons for the [...]
Barack Hits A Hard Place, The United Nations
There comes a time when rhetoric just runs out of steam. Seems that is the case now over getting tough on Iran for its secret nuclear ambitions. Permanent Security Council member China has joined Russia in opposing Washington’s plans to impose tough, wide-ranging sanctions on the Islamic Republic over its refusal to suspend sensitive uranium [...]
Russia To Rest Of The World, Chill Out On Iran
Here we are again. Time is running out for Iran. If time is running out, then where is all this extra time coming from? This reminds me of the furniture store on the corner that has been running ‘going out of business’ sales for the last 8 years. Now stirring the pudding even more is [...]
Time Is Running Out For Iran
To say that history repeats itself is a given. And stupidity is doing the same thing every time and expecting a different result. There is no room for a wimp when it comes to geopolitics when the stakes are nuclear and the President of Iran is a Holocaust denier, calling for the annihilation of Israel. [...]
Was Arms Dealer, Not Nuclear Scientist
Don’t you feel better now that you know that the Iranian who was mistaken to be a nuclear scientist was merely an arms dealer? Who knows, maybe dealing in nuclear stuff now? AP correction: The Associated Press erroneously reported that the Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat identified an Iranian who disappeared in Georgia as a second [...]
More Words, Just Words, For Iran?
We’ve heard hollow tough talk like this before. Didn’t work for President Clinton with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, and it isn’t going to move Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad either. President Obama’s words yesterday. . . “Iran’s action raised grave doubts” They’re not new actions. They’ve been ignored by the UN and Washington for years. Iran is on [...]
United Nations, For The Wrong Reason
It has been an interesting couple days in the UN General Assembly, as has the media coverage of it. After suffering through 96 minutes of drivel from Muammar Gaddafi, I was hard pressed to find out what nations, if any, demonstrated their approval/disapproval by leaving the chamber. A tradition of that body since its inception. [...]
