A Vatican-led conference on dialogue with Muslims ended in the Arab state of Qatar on Sunday after bickering over whether to allow Jews to participate in future meetings because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Emir of the Gulf state had opened the seminar by telling senior Muslim and Christian religious leaders that Jews should also take part. "Perhaps it would be worthwhile widening next yearâs seminar to an Islamic-Christian-Jewish dialogue," Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani said in a speech delivered on his behalf on Thursday. "That is the way to build a decent human life where love, tolerance and equality prevail for the good of mankind."
But Arab clerics told a public forum late on Saturday, that Israel must end its occupation of Palestinian land first. "Can there be a dialogue with Jews while they still occupy Palestinian land? Would that not consecrate the occupation?" asked Sheikh Abdel-Karim al-Kahlout, the Mufti of Gaza. A Syrian representative of the Greek Orthodox Church agreed. "We at the Patriarchy of Antioch reject the principle of dialogue with Jews before all the inhabitants of Palestine regain their rights," Bishop Basilious Nassour said.
The head of Vaticanâs Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue, organizing the meeting which is held in Qatar every year, said the decision would be in Qatarâs hands. "It is better to try to talk together than not to talk at all, but I would agree that there are certain conditions for a dialogue to take place," Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald said, adding that the Vatican sponsors a separate dialogue with Jews.
Though Qatar has no diplomatic relations with Israel, it has angered Arab countries by maintaining contacts with the Jewish state throughout the Palestinian uprising against Israelâs 37-year occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The interfaith meeting in Qatar - mostly held behind closed doors and which did not issue a public statement - focused on the rights of religious minorities in predominantly Muslim and Christian countries, Fitzgerald said.

The Emir sounds like a rational guy. The clerics, unsurprisingly, haven't finished flogging the "Occupation of Paleostine" dead horse

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Forty-two Brazilian soldiers flew into Haiti on Saturday, the vanguard of a force to command a new U.N. peacekeeping mission taking over from the U.S.-led multinational force. "Our first mission here is providing security and then we will add to that political, economic and social stability," Lt. Col. Antonio Carlos Faillace said after arriving Saturday.
A ceremonial handover is planned June 1, though the transition will continue through the month. Some 1,500 U.S. Marines and 400 U.S. soldiers and sailors are to leave by the end of June. The U.S. troops are bringing aid to thousands of people left homeless by floods and landslides in the last week, but their main mission is disarming militias after the Feb. 29 resignation of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Arriving Tuesday will be Brazilian generals Augusto Heleno, who will command the U.N. force, and Americo Salvador de Oliveira, who will be in charge of the Brazilian contingent, Faillace said. Brazil's 850 soldiers will provide the core of the U.N.-mandated force of 6,700 troops and 1,622 police. Chile has already committed 650 troops and Argentina plans to send up to 600. Another 10 countries are sending troops and 22 countries are sending civilian police. The U.N. mission is expected to last six months, but Brazilian defense ministry officials acknowledge troops may need to remain longer.

1,500 Marines and 400 Soldiers? We need to send these guys over to Iraq to help shore up their 'buddies', in a more valiant stand. Screw haiti; let the Spaniards handle the small fry!!
A group of drunken off-duty police officers forced American students to kneel on the ground at their Fremantle dormitory while taunting and humiliating them about the United States involvement in Iraq. The incident is one of several being investigated by police internal affairs after a wild night in two of the port cityâs popular night spots involving seven WA police and two NSW officers. Some of the worst behaviour was inflicted on patrons at the Orient Hotel, where one of the officers vomited across the bar after the drunken group was refused service. Witnesses said a German barman was abused and insulted with nazi salutes. Earlier, the men told drinkers they were "above the law" because they were police.
The West Australian was told some drinkers at the Orient Hotel last Tuesday were Notre Dame University students but the abuse of the US students erupted after a fight at the Zanzibar nightclub. During that incident, one of the seven WA officers, who are all from the Fremantle district, was allegedly assaulted by one of the American Notre Dame students and had a tooth knocked out. Enraged, some of the drunken officers tracked the American down to the universityâs student accommodation. It was there that several American students, including some who had nothing to do with the clash at the Zanzibar, were made to kneel on the ground and were humiliated. It is understood the taunting included comments such as "Yankies go home", "What are you doing in our country" and "What are you doing in Iraq". Frightened students called the police...
Police Minister Michelle Roberts said she was appalled by what she had been told about the incident. "I wouldn't have thought that any police officers would engage in this kind of behaviour, on duty or off duty," she said. "The fact of the matter is that police officers . . . need to set an example to the community." Assistant Commissioner Tim Atherton said the public had high expectations of police and he had instructed a superintendent and an inspector to investigate the matter. Mr Atherton pledged to get to the bottom of any misconduct by police. "The Commissioner and I share a great deal of frustration about this incident," he said.

Much less to this story than Drudge implied. The Iraq comment seems about the worst the sodden bugger could come up with. I was more impressed with vomiting across the bar after being refused service. Shame on the Notre Dame guy. No points for punching out a fellow drunk.

As an American, the students got what they deserved. Had they been in China, a cane acroos the mouth would have been appropriate. I am ashamed to be an American in light of this behavior. I apologize to everyone who has been disrespected by American citizens in thewir own homeland. Truly a disgrace.
Dumbass Aussi cop lost a barfight. Instead of gracefully accepting it, a group of Australia's lowest decided to track down this student and show the world there this nothing more courageous than a pack of drunken Aussi cops against a abusing, under the color of law, a visitor their fair land. Doesn't say much for their manhood or intelligence. Proper Aussis are appalled by their behavior.
In the old days, if Chinese did something like this, a gun boat would have stopped by to put a boot up their ass. So sod off you shameful, politicall correct, gonad challenged, sperm recepticle.

Well, I am good friends with one of the guys who was involved in the incident and yes the Iraq comment did happen, and my buddy said it was the scariest thing in his life. He was forced on his knees with a gun to his head and was told that if he moved he would get his brains blown out, and my buddy had nothing to do with the fight other than he was an American who knew the kid who got into the fight. One kid got into a drunken fight with an off duty cop and 6 or 7 others who had nothing to do with the fight got their lives threatened. You say they got what they deserved? I strongly disagree.
Surprise meterâs still busted...
Hans Blix has never made a secret of his opposition to the war in Iraq, but recently the former chief U.N. weapons inspector and Swedish diplomat has dropped all pretense of, well, diplomacy. His frequent public statements are confirming that the Bush Administration was right to suspect that he was so opposed to the war that heâd have given Saddam Hussein the benefit of every doubt and more in order to prevent it. Mr. Blix told a Danish newspaper last month that Iraqis have suffered more from the war than they did under the reign of Saddam Hussein. In a recent interview with a French newspaper, he said President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair "may have been sincerely convinced there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq like some were convinced of the existence of witches in the 18th century." In a speech in Chicago in March, he said the war in Iraq has only made the threat of terrorism worse. And he recently dismissed as no big deal the explosion in Iraq of a roadside bomb containing sarin gas. No big deal, because there are no stockpiles, right?
Then on Tuesday a friend sent us the following excerpt from an interview published Monday in the Italian newspaper La Stampa:
Q: "Are you tracking the U.S. Presidential campaign?"
Mr. Blix: "Obviously." "I place my trust in the multilateralism of Democratic candidate John Kerry. And in any event, I think that the whole world should vote on 2 November because so much depends on the outcome of that vote."
Can I vote on how much duct tape should be wrapped around your mouth?
Mr. Kerry remarked in March that foreign leaders were privately supporting his candidacy. Mr. Blix has now revealed the kind of foreigners he was referring to. The ignorant, terrorist enabling type.

wtf? And he recently dismissed as no big deal the explosion in Iraq of a roadside bomb containing sarin gas.
WTF?!! in any event, I think that the whole world should vote on 2 November because so much depends on the outcome of that vote. WTF?!!!!
Mr. Blix: "I place my trust in the multilateralism of Democratic candidate John Kerry.
I'm laughing out loud at the sudden visual of that quote as a endorsement and a slogan on millions of Democratic convention campaign buttons. Someone please ask the good mr. Blix what he thought of how President Kennedy faced off against the soviets during the missile crisis.
But I guess we have to give mr. blix the benefit of the doubt. After all, he does come from a country with one of the higher suicide rates in the world. This is just another creative way for the West to commit suicide.
Please , please please! If there's a debate of some sort between Kerry and President Bush. Please let Kerry bring up the name of John Kennedy. I am dying to see someone, anyone say to him in a public forum, "Mr. Kerry, you are no Jack Kennedy".

Notice that no one in the press every cites John FORBES Kerry's middle name? It's not like he comes from some special Northeastern power elite or whatever you want to call it.
All of us just have to get used to it, and to remember that much of what we're being told is either false or is distorted. ... We citizens have to start thinking of news reporting as being about as reliable as advertising.
I'd say less reliable; it's possible to sue - or for the government to file charges - for false advertising.
The days of Murrow and Cronkite are gone.
One quibble: The "days of" Cronkite were themselves a lie, if his present behavior and verbal spewings are any indication. He put on a good show back then, though. I remember a little of Murrow, too, and I think he was genuine.

Pretty damn cynical, if you ask me. Den beste can get used to it, but I never will.
And Den Beste's military analysis in the past has been about on target as a one-eyed Sadr militia sniper shooting a rusted BB gun. I suspect this media analysis is about as cogent as his military analyses.
I think media should strive for a higher standard or get the hell out of journalism, and I think the internet is one vehicle to force them to change their ways.
I just can't allow folks who carry around a mantle of truth and societal leadership to abdicate everything becuase of their own political agenda.

It really would be fun to see the response if President Bush appeared before the UN and announced unilateral American military disarmament. He could take it back thirty minutes later ("Just kidding-- we're actually adding 8 divisions"), but in the meantime the increased demand for smelling salts, defibrillators, and other supplies would have jump-started the world economy.

We have enough oil here in the USA to last us 20 years at our current rate of consumption. Confiscate the Mexican oil supply's on the general purposes of supporting 1/3 of their nation population. Bingo!! Plenty of crude...
An April 28th news release from Compass Direct reports that a young Christian woman in Khartoum was beaten and fined for not wearing appropriate head covering. Cecilia John Holland was traveling on a bus on the evening of April 13th, when 10 policemen stopped the bus and arrested her. The next day she was taken to an Islamic court where she was not allowed to speak in her defense. She was sentenced to 40 lashes and fined the equivalent of $75 US.

this old man should be properly punished the way muslims punish females for adultry
The respect of cultural diversity, promotion of creativity and participation of all in the cultural life, the protection of cultural heritage are the three pillars of an Appeal launched Friday by the participants in the First Cultural Forum for Iraq, organised by UNESCO. The Forum, held in presence of the Iraqi Minister for Culture, Moufid Al Jazairi, was attended by intellectuals and artists from Iraq and the Iraqi diaspora, and was convened to lay the ground for a new cultural policy in the country.
Their appeal identifies a series of priority actions. On respect for cultural diversity, it recommends that "religious, linguistic and cultural rights" of all of the constituent groups of Iraqi society, along with freedom of expression and academic freedom, be guaranteed by the Constitution. It also proposes diverse measures to promote creativity and the participation of all in the cultural life.
On the issue of safeguarding cultural heritage, it recommends the establishment of an inventory of architectural and urban heritage, opening the way for a debate on the future of monuments built by the former regime, and the implementation of the objectives proposed earlier this week at the first session of the International Co-ordination Committee for the Safeguarding of Iraqâs Cultural Heritage (ICC). The Appeal, it is hoped, will form the basis of discussions at a more comprehensive meeting of Iraqi intellectuals, which could take place in Baghdad later this year, security conditions permitting.

They do not have a hope in hell of achieving cultural freedom. When Bush forced armistice surrenders, stealing victory from the Northern Alliance, he legitimated the remnants of Taliban/al-Qaeda. Shariah was restored to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, 2 months after the enemy was defeated.
George Slave Bush will not make alliances with Seculars in Islamania, because his Saudi owners wouldn't like it. He is not exactly happy about Secularism anywhere. Ask Howard Stern, and the rest of the American media personalities that he is oppressing. You people need to get out of the snake-oil consumption market, and pressure the dead duck Prez to liquidate Iraqi Islamofascists. He danced with the devil in Fallujah and Najaf. Future generations will not treat his "faith based" capitulations kindly.

Classic Steyn:
Okay, a freaky West Virginia tramp leading a naked Iraqi round on a dog leash with a pair of Victoria's Secret panties on his head and a banana up his butt, maybe that wasn't so inevitable. But, that innovation aside, the aberrations of war have nothing to do with the only question that matters: despite what will happen along the way, is it worth doing
A caravan of five buses loaded with 270 World War II veterans were set to leave Turtle Creek Casino on M-72 about 5 a.m. today [5/28/2004] and head for Washington. The group is believed to be the largest contingent of veterans attending from one location... Veteran Paul Mills, 82, of Traverse City âThe people we were fighting against were trying to control the world,â...William Turner, 84, of Traverse City...said he feels sorry for American soldiers serving now in Iraq, learning first-hand of the horrors of war he experienced so long ago. âI wake up on a really hot night and I can still smell the flesh and hair burning,â he said...Frank Tosiello, 85, an Elmwood Township veteran said he hopes the memorial stands as a legacy to âthe devastation that war can produce - to remember that war is not the best solution to problems.â

I'll cut him a lot of slack because he's 85 years old and presumably a WWII veteran, but that's a bunch of bullshit.
If the choice is between war and the destruction of our way of life and the murder of thousands of our citizens, guess which is the best solution.

We may disagree elsewhere, Frank G, but not this time. Antiwar, the only reason you're not speaking German or Japanese is because almost HALF A MILLION American troops died to protect your freedom. If you are inable to couple your exercising of free speech with even a shred of gratitude or respect for those who sacrificed their all in your name, then the sum total that you represent is a walking slap-in-the-face to every living (and dead) WWII veteran. For shame.

Now, Brock has written a letter to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld asking that the Pentagon remove Limbaughâs program from the American Forces Radio and Television Service, formerly known as Armed Forces Radio. Arguing that Limbaugh has condoned the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, Brock wrote, "It is abhorrent that the American taxpayer is paying to broadcast what is in effect pro-torture propaganda to American troops." Brock asked Rumsfeld to consider removing the Limbaugh program to "protect" American troops from Limbaughâs "reckless and dangerous messages." Brock also expressed concern that Limbaugh "continually uses prejudiced rhetoric that divides rather than unites Americans." Unlike messages of âquagmireâ, âexit strategyâ and other defeatist concepts the left is so good at.
Brock based his letter in large part on a story that appeared Wednesday in the anti-Bush online magazine Salon. That article, "Rushâs Forced Conscripts," in turn relied on Brock and other critics, like Limbaugh competitor Al Franken of the new liberal talk-radio network Air America, to accuse American Forces Radio of a "rightward tilt" and of airing a generous portion of Limbaugh while not allowing liberal voices to be heard. Limbaugh, according to Franken, provides "a bad message for troops to be hearing." Brockâs got it in for Limbaugh, no question. To my mind, that affects his groupâs whole basis. Conservative media watchdog my ass. They are an anti-Rush outfit. Just admit it, will ya?
Salon editor David Talbot followed up, in "Turn Off Rush, Turn On Salon," by denouncing military broadcasters who, he said, give soldiers "a daily dose of poison from Rush Limbaugh." Talbot wrote that American Forces Radio "bombard[s]" military men and women with "Limbaughâs incendiary tirades, to the exclusion of all other voices." Incredible. Does Talbot think that anyone will buy into this concept that the mere appearance of Limbaugh on the radio constitutes âexclusion of all other voices.â To me, that remark alone is basic intellectual dishonesty on Talbotâs part.
"Rushâs Forced Conscripts" discounted the argument of American Forces Radio chief Melvin Russell, who told Salon that his service included Limbaugh on the basis of Limbaughâs popularity, and that American Forces also provides programming from National Public Radio. Thatâs not the same thing, Franken explained: "Rushâs message is that liberals hate America, while NPR is straight-ahead reporting and journalism." Liberals do hate America. They have allowed their hatred of Bush to manuever themselves into political positions that any bad news for America is good news for them. NPR leans so heavily to the left, it is surprising they donât capsize from it.
But American Forces Radio provides not only NPR programs like Morning Edition and All Things Considered but NPR commentary, as well. American military men and women abroad have access, for example, to the talk show of liberal host Diane Rehm. Indeed, Rehmâs biographical sketch on the NPR website says her program is "heard on U.S. military instillations around the world via Armed Forces Radio." (For a schedule of NPR programs provided to American Forces Radio, click here.)
Military listeners can also hear NPRâs Tavis Smiley Show, Talk of the Nation, and Fresh Air programs. Beyond NPR, listeners can also hear brief commentaries by former talk-show host Jim Hightower and CBS News anchorman Dan Rather. Viewed as a whole, the list of names suggests that military listeners, if they want to hear a variety of views, can do so on American Forces Radio.

When Rush made AFRTS overseas, he was like a breath of fresh air.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
