A wolf and a kid are drinking water from the same stream. The wolf upstream, the kid downstream. The wolf wants to savour the kid. So, he goes-
“Hey, why are you making my […]

There are some people who still think that the sun is going around the earth. I have met one of them personally. He argued that what he was saying was scientifically correct.
Can his argument be called scientific?
If not, then there can never be Islamic Terror. There can never be Peace Terror.

Let me first express my anger and dismay at the terrorist’s attempt.

Allan Johnston is freed. BBC Editor’s blog has thanked everybody for their support, except Hamas- those who ensured the freedom.
Why am I not surprised?
This response of a Ghazan journalist is particularly appalling.

Australia has been the first to admit that securing oil was the reason they participated in the genocide of the Iraqis.
Thank you for your […]

June 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment
This post could be long. I’ll write it in small parts, instead.

A US spy ship, USS Liberty, was shot at during the seven day war(1967) by Israel. They tried at first to make it look like an attack by Egypt. Which almost succeeded. The US army responded by sending a A4 nuclear armed bomber to nuke Cairo. Somehow they realized that it was Israel’s work, and […]

Raping Armywomen
March 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The US military is struggles to overcome a legacy of sexual harassment, assault and even rape by male colleagues.
“I would say that sexual harassment is endemic in the military today. It’s just an unfortunate fact of life for women who are serving in the armed forces now.”
