#1 Ah Deir ez-Zor. Such a memory!
What happened in the night of Sept. 6, 2007 in the desert, 130 kilometers (81 miles) from the Iraqi border, 30 kilometers from Deir el-Zor, is one of the great mysteries of our times. At 2:55 p.m. on that day, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported that Israeli fighter jets coming from the Mediterranean had violated Syrian airspace at "about one o'clock" in the morning. "Air defense units confronted them and forced them to leave..., without causing any human or material damage," a Syrian military spokesman said. There was no explanation why such a dramatic event was concealed for half a day. At 6:46 p.m., Israeli government radio quoted a military spokesman as saying: "This incident never occurred." At 8:46 p.m., a spokesperson for the US State Department said during a daily press briefing that he had only heard "second-hand reports" which "contradict" each other.
And the Syrian nuclear production site was no more.

#2 To immoderate Muslims I say,
Kiss a moderate Muslim today,
For it's only division
That saves you from fission,
So moderate, Muslims, and pray.
