Sharon will receive Pakistani delegation A nuclear Pakistan is going all out under a military ruler to pacify Israel on the other hand a non nuclear Iran is challenging a nuclear Israel and threatening its very existence. If there was a Nobel Prize constituted for the most ‘dim-witted remark of the century’ President Ahmadinejad is the true recipient and should receive one hands down. cybermusings.blogspot.com JERUSALEM: A 200-member delegation consisting of Pakistani officials and businessmen will visit Israel in early November, in a bid to bring the two countries closer, Israeli military radio said. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom will receive the delegation, the radio said, though there has been no official confirmation.The relations between the second most populous Muslim country in the world and the Jewish state have been hostile for decades, but began to warm up after Israel offered aid to Pakistan following this month’s devastating earthquake. Pakistan accepted Israel’s offer, indicating that the sole Muslim nuclear power was cautiously moving towards better ties with Israel. Earlier this year Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon shook hands on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. Two weeks prior to the famous handshake, the two countries’ foreign ministers met in Istanbul for the first-ever high-level meeting aimed at normalising bilateral relations. Pakistan had “decided to engage with Israel,” its foreign minister said then, because Israel’s pullout of settlers and troops from the Gaza Strip constituted a turning point for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Israel currently has full diplomatic relations with only three Arab states — Mauritania, Egypt and Jordan — and a handful of Muslim majority states including Turkey. afp

We appeal as human beings to human beings: Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. When insane and lunatics talk of wiping out of nuclear states I thought to revisit the words of maestros! "The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker." Albert Einstein The puritanism of Christianity has played havoc with the moderation that an enlightened and tolerant critical spirit would have produced. I've noticed that in whatever country, county, town, or other region there is a regulation enjoining temperance, the population seems to be entirely composed of teetotallers and drunkards. There's a Bible on that shelf there. But I keep it next to Voltaire - poison and antidote. Bertrand Russell The Russell-Einstein Manifesto Issued in London, 9 July, 1955 Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein IN the tragic situation which confronts humanity, we feel that scientists should assemble in conference to appraise the perils that have arisen as a result of the development of weapons of mass destruction, and to discuss a resolution in the spirit of the appended draft. cybermusings.blogspot.com

In this age of remote control wars, where technology has taken place of valour, a blind targeted missile that lands with bull’s eye accuracy in the heart of enemy installation, buying enemy off the shelve is a trait that only likes of Saddam, Mullah Omar and militant Islamist has shown a great eye for. Making a call of annihilation he is asking for pulverization of his own nuclear assets a repeat of Osirak. I hope someone should have reminded Mr. President how Israelis had put the atomic genie of Baghdad back into Saddams bottle. Iraq had built the Osirak nuclear facility near Baghdad with French assistance, before the reactor went “hot” it was wiped out by the Israelis, so as not to endanger the surrounding community. “The alternative is our destruction.” were the words of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ChiefofStaff, Lt. Gen. Rafael (Raful) Eitan than. Today, President Ahmadinejad has raised the stakes in this verbal war with his recklessness; he has provided comparable reasoning today to a new set of aircrews from the cream of the Israel Air Force's (IAF) fighter corps. Why to compromise national interests of his own nation for sake of those who have never missed any opportunity to miss an opportunity. This jingoistic jargon is akin to exposing the great Iranian nation to new-fangled dangers. Why add new enemies as though Iran does not have its own populace totally incarcerated and exasperated! It looks like he represents the rejectionist clergy extremists even on the right of Khamenei, even Hashim Rafsanjani do not want to have anything to do with him. He may be history with his statements; he definitely wants to become the new reincarnated ‘Ayatollah’ Khomeini and dislodge his mentor, Khamenei’s, power to remove him. An ordinary bloke who has captured the Presidency in the most unimaginative manner can only stick to it by creating parallel power. cybermusings.blogspot.com
