Yasser names Jerusalem as Paleocapital...
2002-10-06
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has signed into law a nearly two-year-old bill naming Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital. He took the action in response to a new US law which called for the city to be regarded as Israel's capital, sparking anger among Palestinians.
In other news, Samoa has also named Jerusalem as its new capital, and Finland is thinking of moving its capital from Helsinki to... you can guess where.

#2  This reminds me that the Russians are still holding Finnish territory they captured during WW2. I was thinking of going to Petersburg to blow myself up along with some Russian civvies, but I won´t do it because a) it would be wrong b) i´m not mad and c)the Russians won´t give a damn if Mary Robinson doesn´t like carpet bombing.
