Zionist forewarned

OK, so tell me again why we shouldn't defend Israel?

"Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury, (while) any (Islamic leader) who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world," Ahmadinejad said.

Being the General

And here I like William Wallace...

King Edward I You scored 62 Wisdom, 73 Tactics, 52 Guts, and 50 Ruthlessness!

Or rather, King Edward the Longshanks if you've seen Braveheart. You, like Edward, are incredibly smart and shrewd, but you win at any costs.... William Wallace died at his hands after a fierce Scottish rebellion against his reign. Despite his reputation though, Longshanks had the best interests of his people at heart. But God help you if you got on his bad side.

Coptic Troubles

Another fine entry from Wretchard on the West's perception of Christianity in Egypt.

Young Singers Spread Racist Hate

This is sad . . . once again, young minds fill with crap. But it’s no different than young rappers spewing sexist, gangsta garbage. This is the same mind set which punishes young bright minds, being ridiculed as Uncle Toms for using their minds.

Presidential Ratings

I don't really put much faith in polls these days since it seems America is so polarized these days, but I did find this article rather interesting.

Data from six polling organizations in October show an average of 39.5 percent job approval for Bush.

But according to the Gallup Organization, that's a higher mark than the low points for all commanders in chief dating back to Lyndon Johnson in the mid 1960s.

The low points for recent commanders in chief are as follows:

Bill Clinton: 37 percent George H. W. Bush: 29 percent Ronald Reagan: 35 percent Jimmy Carter: 28 percent Gerald Ford: 37 percent Richard Nixon: 24 percent Lyndon Johnson: 35 percent To find presidents with higher low-point approval ratings than Bush, one has to go back to John Kennedy at 56 percent, and Dwight Eisenhower at 48 percent.

UN controls the WWW

Sorry for my extended absence. I’ve been burnt on Politics, so I just haven’t had the heart to comment on all the BS.

But I stumbled on this tonight and felt compelled to comment.

[Dave] Hendon is the Department for Trade and Industry's director of business relations and was in Geneva representing the UK government and European Union at the third and final preparatory meeting for next month's World Summit on the Information Society. He had just announced a political coup over the running of the internet.

Old allies in world politics, representatives from the UK and US sat just feet away from each other, but all looked straight ahead as Hendon explained the EU had decided to end the US government's unilateral control of the internet and put in place a new body that would now run this revolutionary communications medium.

[…]

A number of countries represented in Geneva, including Brazil, China, Cuba, Iran and several African states, insisted the US give up control, but it refused. The meeting "was going nowhere", Hendon says, and so the EU took a bold step and proposed two stark changes: a new forum that would decide public policy, and a "cooperation model" comprising governments that would be in overall charge.
Much to the distress of the US, the idea proved popular. Its representative hit back, stating that it "can't in any way allow any changes" that went against the "historic role" of the US in controlling the top level of the internet.
But the refusal to budge only strengthened opposition, and now the world's governments are expected to agree a deal to award themselves ultimate control. It will be officially raised at a UN summit of world leaders next month and, faced with international consensus, there is little the US government can do but acquiesce.
While I find the ‘principle’ of the UN an altruistic ideal, it’s just like Communism.  It looks good on paper, but is unmanageable by humans. I cannot imagine the bureaucratic morass the Internet will be imbroiled in  if the UN is in control of the WWW.
