I loved the new name for Arafat.

(From the article that Ghostrider posted a link to)

Special animus is reserved for Arafat's cronies. "These people were poor in Lebanon" when the Palestinian leadership fled there, "and now they are rich," said Ghanem, an articulate engineering student one semester short of graduation. "Where did the money come from?"

Even the name "Abu Ammar," which means father of construction, has become a target of ridicule for some Palestinians, who now punningly refer to Arafat as "Abu Dammar," father of destruction.

Russian experts: Iran's reactor poses a nuclear threat
worldtribune.com

MOSCOW — Russian nuclear experts here warned that Iran's Russian-made Bushehr nuclear reactor could be used for the production of nuclear weapons regardless of international monitoring.

They also said that that the training in nuclear technology now being given by Moscow to hundreds of Iranian engineers provides a major strategic boost to Teheran's nuclear weapons development program.
