Forward the Islamic Republic Back in Iraq, a Cleric Urges Islamic Rules. An influential Shiite Muslim cleric whose views will help shape Iraq's political future returned today from exile in Iran and immediately rejected a liberal Western-style democracy as incompatible with the country's Islamic culture. The cleric, Ayatollah Muhammad Bakr al-Hakim, said Iraq must base its laws on Islamic strictures and prohibit the kind of behavior that may be acceptable in the West but is forbidden in Islam. The last time a Shiite cleric returned to a Middle Eastern country from exile to influence the government, it was February 1979. Is this the new Khomeini? 11:05:33 PM

Tech Writers blog too Thanks to my friends on the HATT list, I found a whole slew of tech writing blogs. Starting with Usable Help and working through his blogroll, you can find worthwhile info on tech writing generally, writing online help and making it usable. One of these days, I will get my own blogroll going. Then we'll start to have something here. Speaking of help files, I have to go work on mine now. 12:43:31 PM

Ad Copy: Gotta Love It Fire-Grilling Instead of Flame-Broiling at Burger King. Now I like Burger King probably more than most, so I wish them well in the never-ending battle against McDonald's. But do the new execs really believe people don't know the difference between "flame" and "fire"? 12:31:01 PM
