		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt; Iran’s Armed Forces headquarters has approved the plan to dig graves for enemy forces in case of any attack on its territory, said Brigadier General Mir-Faisal Baqerzadeh, head of the Foundation for the Remembrance of the Holy Defense. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; “We do not wish the families of enemy soldiers to experience what Americans had to go through in the aftermath of the Vietnam War,” said Baqerzadeh, who is also head of Iran’s search committee for missing soldiers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    The preemptive measures would decrease the time during which slain soldiers would be buried, the Iranian military official said, adding “the burial of slain soldiers will be carried out decently and in little time.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh hey, at least this makes the Iranians seem somehow more decent the Chimpy, who recklessly sends sons, daughters etc. of other people to be blasted into oblivion, and doesn’t have the decency to visit their graves.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking of which, I wonder why noone has asked the chimpy why N. Korea is “less dangerous” than Iran, that is if we are talking so called axis of evil twins and not the other countries that have nucular capacity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, but ECahn, we are dealing with a man who according to Frontline Bush’s War made the decision to invade Iraq based on a stupid time line and ultimatum “My word is my word”, and a little last word with Cheney. All the intelligence in the world couldn’t crack doubt in Chimpy’s head. He has been called “stubborn” in other areas as well, like free trade agreements that are completely inappropriate. So making predictions as Ian Welsh said is a little hard. Hersh does best if he keeps writing as many articles as possible. I say to Hersh, heap on with a vengeance.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you. I see no point in mocking Seymour Hersh with Nostradamus type stuff. It’s beside the point. As you point out, if Iran is worried, and enough people talking to Hersh are worried, we should be too. Assassinations in my view don’t get a pass. Covert ops don’t get a pass. What right does Cheney have to act as judge and jury of the world? What right does he have to provoke a sovereign nation that can be provoked into the 70 years war (I forget how long the Iran/Iraq war lasted, so forgive the exaggeration.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;dmac… just revisiting the comments again…. and loved your share about the non-little box people. :)  AND THE PUPPY SHARE:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;libby, my sister named her new 1 year old terrier/scottie mix pup ’libby’, for liberty…both of your names…….cuz she’s a 4th of july dog!…she has wanted a dog for over two years and finally went to find one today, found her at the shelter, said she is the perfect dog for her and her husband, a real sweetheart……she is over the top happy…..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I chose “libby”, short for elizabeth, but now love the idea of libby for “liberty”. (I was pleased when Wexler during the salon — who wrote his book with title calling himself a “liberal” — complimented me on proudly asserting the word). The thought of little “libby” pup makes me smile.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thoughtful responses, rw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think your ‘interesting’ questions are worthy of broader analysis, WWII, is the one stand-out, and again that deserves to be placed in just that sort of context when we state that war is, at ‘best’, a tragedy and what we have now is quite  beyond reason, and certainly not ‘necessary’.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Whether the civil war or the revolutionary war were necessary are interesting questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Probably the Revolutionary war was not-look at Canada….the civil war probably brought slavery to an end decades earlier than it would have ended otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Cuban church protests support for gay rights&lt;br /&gt;
6/26/08  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HAVANA (AP) - Cuba’s Roman Catholic Church on Tuesday protested the communist government’s growing support of gay rights, including a daylong event raising awareness against homophobia and a law allowing sex-change operations. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Respect for the homosexual person, yes,” said an editorial in Palabra Nueva, the monthly magazine of the Archdiocese of Havana. “Promotion of homosexuality, no.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The editorial signed by magazine director Orlando Marquez referred to activities held May 17 by Cuba’s Sex Education Center, which is directed by Mariela Castro, daughter of President Raul Castro. The center also announced this month that the health ministry has approved a law authorizing government-paid sex changes for 28 people who have undergone extensive study after requesting the surgery. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prejudice against homosexuals remains deeply rooted in Cuban society, as in much of Latin America. But the government has steadily moved away from the intolerance of the 1960s and 1970s, when homosexuals hid their sexuality for fear of being fired from work or even imprisoned. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cuba’s parliament also is studying proposals to give gay couples the same benefits as married couples.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gbyA5ykfr5l1fOWDHLZmFSA8zCawD91GPIGG0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://ap.google.com/article/A.....wD91GPIGG0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
