What a way to go

Recently two gray beards passed away in a heroic way.

The first Waseem Raja died playing cricket on a green field in England. What could be more awesome then that?

The second, Sardar Akbar Khan Bugti died fighting for a worthy cause he believed in, i.e. a Balochistan insurgency with his grandsons in Dera Bugti.

Both men were personal heroes and had great beards.

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Illahi Rajiyoun May ALLAH forgive their sins and shame the shameless.

A Humane Final solution for Palestinians by Zionists

Below is the Israeli(neo-zionists) proposal for peace. Move Palestinian to another country by paying them money!

Why?

1. Analysis of Palestinian deeds and declarations over the years make it difficult to avoid the conclusion that they are in effect both unwilling and incapable of achieving and maintaining statehood.

(a) Palestinian Unwillingness: This is reflected in the fact that the Palestinians have rejected every single viable proposal which would have afforded them a state - from the 1947 partition plan to the 2000 Barak proposals.

(b) Palestinian Incapability: The Palestinian national movement has enjoyed conditions far more favorable than almost any other national independence movement since WW-II - widespread international endorsement of their cause, unmitigated support of a superpower in the decades of the Cold War, highly sympathetic coverage by the major media organizations, and over a decade of Israeli administrations who have acknowledged (and at times even identified with) the Palestinians declared national aspiration. In spite of this, the achievements of Palestinian national movement have been more miserable than almost any other national independence movement – bringing nothing but privation and penury to its people.

The myth of the European media anti-Israel bias

I am in London and spend all night looking at SKY, BBC and CNN. Their coverage all night was primarily reflecting the killing of Israeli reservists (in uniform) on the way to the front and the three civilians killed in Haifa under the rocket barrage.

This morning they reported the death of 14 Lebanese civilians from Israeli bombing.

I don't think they ignore any deaths, they are in it for maximum effect (with rave style music). While Israeli supporters form the US can read articles from (http://standwithus.org/news_post.asp?NPI=938) Jonathan Cook based in Nazareth writes that it is Israel not Hizbullah that is deliberately targeting civilians (http://www.jkcook.net/Articles2/0268.htm#Top) but this is not mainstream press.

For a centrist view, read The Times of India, a major Indian publication, no friend of the Muslims extremists (remember Mumbai bombings) . . . and they write what the world sees and the world is not on Israeli side but the reason is not anti-semitism but disproportionate Israeli response in civilian death (750 vs 90) and destroying Beirut completely and thoroughly. It is time for Israel to grow up and accept the reality that they are the regional super power and that they lost their underdog(we are fighting for our survival!) status in 1982 . . . except in the US.

In the mainstream US press nobody will touch the special Israeli-US relationship (To Israel with Love), however the London Economist has done a good coverage on this here.

also, for history buffs (and not David Lean's CinemaScope) here is a refresher course on the Suez crisis (also by the Economist, which is most definitely right of center), and how a better American President put a stop to an unjust war, quickly.
