#1 most of the Muslim attackers were drunken

On alcohol or Islam?

#2 U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has warned that tensions are mounting between Westerners and Muslims..

Hmmmm, I wonder why that is...?

"Misunderstandings" - have arisen between the Islamic world and the West and amid such acrimony the relevance and importance of the United Nations have been called into question, he said.

Heh, I'd say this conflict between the RoP and everybody else is more than just a little "misunderstanding".

#4 mhw, interesting juxtaposition. Of course, PCP might have an axe to grind, but this is a little far-fetched to make up. Drunken Muslims, huh?

Q: Aren't doctors, pretty much worldwide, required to swear the Hippocratic Oath?

I can't find a reference to the Annan quote. Is there a link? It's not in reuters/news. Maybe he really didn't say that, and it's all a misunderstanding to call the "the relevance and importance of the United Nations ... into question." Yeah, that's gotta be it.

#5 Aren't doctors, pretty much worldwide, required to swear the Hippocratic Oath?

I think it's a Western thing, and from what I've heard there are some "ethicists" who are against it. I think it's optional even in the US now.

#6 Annan comments are at:

and on the 'drunk' moslems thing - I think moslems in rural pakland get high on various smoked or chewed substances rather than alcohol but it makes them act like they were on alcohol

#7 Doctors here take the oath. Some of us even follow it. However, if someone holds a gun to your head and says: "don't treat that person," the oath is going to take a back seat.
