Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday that peaceful measures to prevent Iran from menacing the Middle East and developing a nuclear weapons program have not yet worked, leaving military action as a possible solution."Nobody wants to resolve this in any means other than peacefully, if it's at all possible," Mr. Cheney told the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth. "But in the final analysis, the worst outcome would be a situation in which Iran is sort of let loose, if you will, in that... Read Full Story
Iran launches anti-vice crackdown

Published to Propaganda
BBC News Iranian newspapers have printed a list of moral vices that the police are targeting, including wearing make-up and hats instead of headscarves. Now this sounds like a good idea. A list that tells you in advance what police are on the look out for when they patrol the streets. The list the Iranians have put together includes; "Wearing boots with short pants, wearing hats or scarves which do not fully cover hair and neck instead of the proper head veil and putting on unusual make-up...

Does God have a place in a rational world?

Published to Relevance of Religion
No is the simple answer to this question. If you are a logical thinker and rationally review all available evidence (the term evidence is used very loosely ) relating to a "Gods" existence then the only possible conclusion one can arrive at is that "He does not exist". Religion not only segregates the world, it encourages it. Religion does not want you to think freely, it doesn't want you to have your own ideas. It only wants you to believe and subscribe to the delusion that when you die an... Read Full Story

Apple's much-hyped iPhone has finally hit shelves in the UK. But once again its the consumer who is getting ripped off. In the U.K we are required to pay £269 for the handset and then sign up to a minimum contract of at least £35 per month. You are able to unlock the handset and use it on most other networks but that is simply NOT THE POINT! If you agree to a contract of £35 per month you are already paying £420 a year plus any insurance you take out on the Handset. This is yet another... Read Full Story
Bhutto 'to go ahead' with march
| From : world-news-now.blogspot.com
BBC News "Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto says she will go ahead with a march from Lahore to the capital, Islamabad, despite security risks." I like what I'm hearing from Benazir . She sticks to her guns and despite being kicked out of her country a couple of times she is back again and this time she is not going anywhere. The whole of Pakistan need to get behind her and get her elected over ( General ) President Pervez Musharraf. Musharraf is simply a dictator with no balls. By... Read Full Story
Five die at Arafat rally in Gaza
| From : world-news-now.blogspot.com
BBC News "At least five people have been killed in gunfire at a rally organised by Fatah in the Gaza Strip to mark three years since the death of Yasser Arafat." When will the people of this region realise that they will never ever get what they want by fighting all the time. The Middle East is the most volatile place on the planet right now and until they get round a table and thrash out some sort of peace agreement that will actually work, they are destined to fight amongst themselves for...
