In the news

Shamil Basayev has been successfully dispatched to see Allah in person. Funnily enough I see no celebrations of the same kind that we see every time somebody goes to Allah accompanied by slain infidels. In general the we-love-death crowd only seems to celebrate other people's deaths, and appeal to human rights every time the death applies exclusively to themselves.

Which reminds me: last week Ismail Haniya appealed to humanity, which is almost too funny to be true, and asked the international community to intervene and put some pressure on Israel. Is this incidentally the same guy whom I saw on TV this May saying that he will not let himself be pressured by foreign powers (aka the international community) and that bugger the international community anyway (but please give generously)? Thought so.

Kim Jong-Il threatened United States with war. One would think that the glorious leader of the country with no food would behave more modestly towards the people he gets food from (OK, US is not the only one but he managed to piss off everyone else too) and that even a Communist understands that biting the hand that feeds you might be a bad idea, but no.
