The war in Lebanon is one month and hundreds of innocent lives old; the international community is displaying all the coherence and cohesion it did in 1939 – déjà vu! The solution today is as it should have been then – stop the invader with a confederation of nations opposed to the war. It stops!

The only thing preventing Israeli officials from jumping up and down with glee, according Aluf Benn of the daily Haaretz newspaper, was the fear that "demonstrated Israeli enthusiasm for the draft could influence support among Security Council members, who could demand a change in wording that may adversely affect Israel." So no celebration parties till the resolution is passed.

On some occasions, Hizbullah tried to shoot them down with anti-aircraft guns...

European German speakers appear to be leading the way in combatting internet addiction. The Swiss canton of Zurich has just joined with some of the German states and one Austrian province to draw up plans to combat "cyber addiction".

The Swiss estimate at least 3% of surfers in their country suffer from "excessive" internet use. Suffering surfers are most likely male, aged between 20 and 30 and have grown up with computer games and other entertainment systems such as "playstation" and "gameboy". ... read full story / add a comment

This was the front page of Scotland’s Sunday Herald on 30th July 2006.

The Irish Government propaganda machine would have the Scottish population believe that no US military flights are allowed through Irish airports.

“Dermot Ahern, the Irish foreign affairs minister, said he would block any attempt by the US to transport arms to Israel through his county.”

Most interesting is the total absence of any reference to the fact that Ireland allows US military flights through Shannon airport and the recent court victory of the Pitstop Ploughshares. ... read full story / add a comment
