TERROR THREATS IN THE AIR...
After reading
Moxie's post , I had to write something about the
latest terror alerts . I am really getting worried about the situation in the aviation industry. Look at this timeline for the

She Bomber , on January 3. [Hat tip to the

POLITICAL REFORM IN IRAN?
Here is an excerpt from Amir Taheri's article,
Reading Iran Wrong [via
Free Iran News ]:
"And neither faction is proposing any radical reform of any aspects of the Khomeinist system. Both reject the almost unanimous call of the opposition parties and movements for a constitutional referendum. Both claim legitimacy on the basis not of the people's will but of their fidelity to the teachings of Khomeini."
In the news:
Iran Council vetoes election bill. Iran's stacked vote.

MODERN TRASH AT MUSEUM
Here is another example of modern "art" (read: trash). The
Museum of National Antiquities in Sweden (Stockholm) has an "installation" called "Snow White And The Madness Of Truth."
Zvi Mazel, Ambassador of Israel , took action and
expressed his anger by "re-shaping" the "installation"...
Click here for a video. Here is a description of the "
art " exhibit:
"The artwork consisted of a rectangular basin filled with red fluid. A boat floated on top carrying a portrait of Hanadi Jaradat, who killed herself and 22 Israelis in an attack on a restaurant in the northern Israeli city of Haifa in October." [
Reuters .]
M�rten Barck (

Jews for Israeli - Palestinian Peace . [Editor: Bring out a
sickbag before you read the petition. You will find that
Noam Chomsky has signed the petition...]

THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
My long-range goal is to return to the
freest country in the world. I am glad that Bush is giving the opportunity for more individuals to come to
America and work , but I think it should be open for anybody to live in the United States of America as long as you don't infringe on the
rights of other individuals, or you are a potential
threat to the safety of the country . I understand that
Bush 's gesture is a way of going after the "
Hispanic-vote ," but I think it is good that the
issue of
immigration is coming up for
discussion . I hope it will be a constructive
debate and that it will end up with a good solution, i.e. deregulation and a freer job market. You don't have
handouts and
minimum wage in my kind of
world .

DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST NATIONS!
I hope Bush will keep a steady course against the Axis of Evil and not come up with a compromise of "
reconciliation " or
policy shift . Intelligence Minister
Ali Yunesi in Iran, President
Bashar Assad of Syria,
Kim Jong Il of
North Korea , and
Libya 's Prime Minister
Shukri Ghanim are all using blackmail, threats, and "bait-and-switch" tactics in order to stay in power. Could you guess what the "peace loving" leaders of Iran & Syria are planning? They want the Middle East to become a
zone free of nuclear weapons !
