“JERUSALEM – Israel hardened its insistence Monday that it would do anything it felt necessary to stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb, just the ultimatum the United States hoped not to hear as it tried to nudge Iran to the bargaining table.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates reassured Israel that the new Obama administration was not naive about Iran's intentions, and that Washington would press for new, tougher sanctions against the Iranians if they balk. He didn't say what those might include.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak used a brief news conference with Gates to insist three times that Israel would not rule out any response — an implied warning that it would consider a pre-emptive strike to thwart Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons…”
I love to tell people “I told you so” but I am not going to say it this time …because it was no surprise to anyone that Israel would take this stand. It would have been nice if the election in Iran had gone different and if the new government, of Iran, had moved away from their crazy position. It did not happen… I suspect however that the current, old, government would like to work out a deal with the United States and the world.. that would help them with their own people at home… Let us hope they do not fall back on the old ways… One of them would be to create a war with someone so that the people of Iran would unite behind their nation. I would say that right now the areas of the world that worry me lost are; Afghanistan, North Korea and a distance third would be Iran. North Korea make you wonder if their is one sane person in the entire nation. I reminds me of Jonestown.
“MoveOn: The Movie is a feature-length documentary focusing on the revolutionary history of the biggest progressive grass-roots movement seen in the United States since the 1960s. This film stands as a vivid testimony to times of radical social change in our nation and to the power of people banding together for change.”
“…This is true to a great extent, in that the first thing you notice about being naked is that no one is looking at you. It's a nonsexual nudity, and the vibe is similar to that at any average vacation resort.
On my first day, I eased out of my clothes one item at a time over the course of about an hour, and once I did, the relaxation was palpable. With no bathing suit squeezing your flesh and reminding you of how much you have and no wardrobe tricks to diminish this or amplify that, it's all you, baby: no faking. There's something very freeing about having no choice but to be exactly what you are.
Now you've relaxed, and you can sit back and be dazzled by something from which consumer media has shielded you: the staggering variety that real human bodies come in. Variations in sizes, shapes, colors, density, hairiness, age, texture, mass and buoyancy will knock you sideways unless you're a doctor, moritician or hooker and have seen it all before. You will be reminded wonderfully of those Discovery channel specials about life at the bottom of the ocean, the ones that make your mouth drop open with the thrilling realization that you don't know shit about the world in which you live…”
