http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/iraq/la-022805iraq_lat,0,511878.story?coll=la-home-headlines I just can't understand this. Seriously, we've been living with the threat of terror and suicide killers for a long time now (at least prominently with Arafat for the last 20 years) and everytime I read about it I am shocked. After more than four years of this in Israel (and stll going) it hurts me to see such widespread suicide tactics. How can any person manipulate these suicide bombers? How can any person spread a message that this is right? That it's righteous to kill yourself and others? This insanity has to stop! Those who preach that this is for a holy cause are unimaginable monsters. How does this end? Do we have to kill every idealist who threatens our way of life? Do we have to live in fear because we take a stand for the humane treatment of other cultures? Are we wrong (or bad) for believing that all people (not just U.S.) should be free to believe as they want as long as they don't subject other people to demoralizing and constraining mis-laws? I don't want them all to die, but how else can this end?
What happens to a society living in constant fear that a terrorist (or insurgent) may take the lives of those they love at any given moment? This is clear and ever present instability and I believe that terrible psycho-side effects are going to permeate our social growth. Peace, growth, prosperity, intellectual freedom, good health: these things cannot blossom without a sense of day-to-day safety. What should we do, what lengths will we have to go to, to achieve this for ourselves and our families? |

Now this is something that I would love to see more of. Include the song download in the top charts! I would love to hear most of that stuff at least one time (if not more) and the 30 seconds I get on itunes isn't always enough!
Download chart debut is delayed. The inclusion of music downloads in the official UK singles chart is delayed by one month. [BBC News | News Front Page | UK Edition] |

Very cool site that Mike introduced me to: http://www.warcraftmovies.com
Some of the concepts are really solid, especially for a video game movie! I found "A Hero's Love" to be especially well done. I also enjoyed "Ironforge Bank" for the high energy attempts at sabotage and "Medieval Man" for it's creative dance choreography. I'll be checking some more out very soon! |

gmail down?. Whoops, looks like GMail is having some problems. 12:19:04 AM comment [] |
