There's a cranky old Judge called Joe Mangan Who would love the return of the hangman He's a cranky old bollix and an old alcholic He'll have to make do with a Clare-ban Now some folk might think it unfair To be banned from the County of Clare But this rude little sod, In his court, thinks he's God So be careful, my friends what you wear You'd better not voice an opinion While sitting in Mangan's dominion And speak not of Hussein for it drives him insane You'll be set upon by Garda minions Just to prove he's an absolute spanner he will confiscate anti-war banners then he'll bellow and roar and he'll show you the door and complain about YOUR lack of manners! © 2003 ... read full story / add a comment

When looking deeply at the issue, one can understand that the core of the problem is an ideology that is very harmful to humanity and the security of the region. This ideology, which has been Armenians' national program for more than one hundred years, encompasses the establishment of the "Great Armenia from sea to sea - from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea" and the occupation of the lands of the ancient peoples who Armenians have been neighbors with for two hundred years in the Caucasus. ... read full story / add a comment
