And it was a few years ago at Wimbledon when the world saw a Muslim player being cheered on by Israeli fans...while the Pakistani fans were cheering for a Jew... --------------------------------------- The tennis team of Hadad and Qureshi: ...During the tournament, they repeated that their pairing was not a political statement, but that they both noticed their countrymen in the stands during the matches. Regardless of what they are playing for, the fact that Israelis were cheering for a Muslim, and Pakistanis for a Jew, demonstrates that sports can indeed transcend politics. During the Open, Hadad said, "Two people from different countries, different cultures, you know, can team up, play together, play good tennis together. If you put in politics, maybe they can do the same thing."

Forget about politics or life, erroneous Predictions & 'Negative Comments' or cynicism concerning Scientific and Technological Developments are mind boggling- Limitation of surgery Sir John Erichsen (1873): "There cannot always be fresh fields of conquest by the knife; there must be portions of the human frame that will ever remain sacred from its intrusions, at least in the surgeon's hands. That we have already, if not quite, reached these final limits, there can be little question. The abdomen, the chest, and the brain will be forever shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon." Source: Woods, Ralph L. "Prophets Can be Right and Prophets Can Be Wrong." American Legion Magazine, October 1966. p. 29.
