===> "Turkish diplomat who rescued Jews from Holocaust dies" <=== jpost.com Sad day for the world. A true, decent man is gone. Heroes like Necdet Kent are few and far between. <========================================================= From the article: "On one occasion, Kent boarded a train bound for the Auschwitz concentration camp after Nazi guards refused to let some 70 Jews with Turkish citizenship disembark. After more than an hour on the train, the guards let Kent and the Jews leave." =========================================================>

<< IDF finishes demolishing most of Arafat's Ramallah HQ >> jpost.com This is like the Israeli version of the English show "Changing Rooms". Israel is rearranging Arafat's headquarters so that the Ramallah HQ resembles what Arafat truly deserves. Poor Thomas. I'll bet that you are crying your eyes out for your hero Arafat. Amazing, though. How many centuries did it take for your culture to come up with a leader like Arafat? <g> <=== From the article: "The IDF, however, continued to surround the compound and demand through megaphones that the men inside, approximately 250 according to some reports, exit the compound and turn themselves in to Israeli security forces." ===>

This game the administration is playing is getting old and no one seems to pick up on it in our media. As with Afghanistan, our government is using the British to reveal to the American citizens and taxpayers evidence of Iraq's biological, chemical, and possible nuclear weaponry. If there is evidence why is it coming from Britain through Tony Blair and not from our own Whitehouse. Also, as with the imminent attack on Afghanistan, the administration starts talking about a Palestinian State. The last time I heard those words mentioned was before the attack on al-Queda and not since. Just think how the Arab world sees this double-talk and how much they must lack respect for our government's lack of integrity. len
