It's not abortion. Or Palestine. Or even Howard Dean. In fact, all of those topics fall by the wayside and out of the discussion whenever the Big Issue raises its head. Blood boils. Passion rages, pitting blogger against blogger in a seething conflict that threatens to rend the very fabric of Kos...

We asked several people, on both sides of the issue, and as you can expect, responses were pretty inflammatory. More sensitive readers may wish to use their browser's back button before reading further. User names have been changed for reasons of privacy and the respondents' safety. Read More

Reliable sources in the Saudi capital Riyadh said Friday King Fahd is dead.

King Fahd of Saudi Arabia has been dead since late Wednesday, according to several well-placed sources in the capital Riyadh who spoke to the Saudi Institute, a Washington think tank, on condition of anonymity.

A prominent figure in Riyadh said, "I am confident he is dead."

The government also canceled all military leave. There was no confirmation of heightened security alert reported by some western media and denied by the government, who also denied the king is dead. link

World War III is a religious conflict, though not in the way you may think.

It is also a war of survival, but again, not in the way you may think.

The first step in understanding WWIII is to acknowledge that it is currently taking place. The easiest way to do this is to make a list of all countries on earth who are not currently engaged in armed conflict, either inside or outside their own borders, either directly or in a "support" capacity.

While top Israeli and Palestinian officials discussed security at a Middle East forum Saturday, an American senator advised Arab leaders to focus on injustices in their own countries and reminded them that U.S. policy is security for Israel first and justice for Palestinians "if possible."

A new Pentagon strategy aimed at luring terrorists into committing acts of terrorism has been recommended to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld by the Defense Science Board (DSB). The "DSB Summer Study on Special Operations and Joint Forces in Support of Countering Terrorism" claims that since the global war on terrorism "requires new strategies, postures and organization," it was advocating the creation of a super-Intelligence Support Activity, called the "Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG)."

Initially, I was somewhat indignant. That even the tiniest hint of diversion from White House press briefings on the part of the fawning corporate media would spark such a bizarre sequence of events left me somewhat bewildered, and more annoyed than usual with the American public's willingness to march lockstep to the slaughter without a whimper of protest.

while working in his olive grove, 88-year-old Muhammad Kashu'a, a resident of `Elar, heard somebody calling to him. "I turned around and saw a group of about twelve soldiers," he told B'Tselem. One of the soldiers asked Kashu'a what he was doing there. "I told him that I was working my land, removing the weeds.... He told me that it was not olive-picking season, and again asked why I was there. I replied that it was my land and that I had come to cultivate it. He said that I was lying, and that I had come to give food to people on Israel's wanted list. I told him that I did not know any wanted persons, that I was ninety years old, and that I don't know anybody [who is wanted]...

There has been a lot of internet chatter in recent days among Americans who style themselves as "leftists," primarily because they admire Democratic politicians who believe they could do a better job of slaughtering Afghans, Iraqis, and coming soon, Iranians than the Republicans, and because "we can't just cut and run."
