The top linked story on Blogdex today saddens me and scares me at the same time. Saudi ambassador to Britain glorifies suicide bombers in poem published in Arabic daily. I understand that the use of language in Islamic culture is differnt than the western understanding of language. But by any means, this seems like another horrifying facet or an enormous problem. Or am I missing something? I do not think I really understand enough to elaborate any further. I just somehow feel helpless.
and the scary part of this story continues in berlin: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/020413/168/1e5e8.html

I also think that the Israelies are, and have been, doing terrible, terrible things.
Posted by: k on April 18, 2002 09:26 AMYes, I am sure they have been doing terrible things. I wish the world were just a peaceful place with no need for any military acton or intervention, ever, except maybe for humanitary missions. Shooting should be reserved for Photography only.
I refused to serve any army. (except the Salvation Army)
